Anyone watching rise and fall?
It takes about half the first season for Succession to really get good, then it is great for a while. But by the 3rd season the formula start starts getting tired and I find it a bit overrated in the end.
Like a video game with a simple but functional game play loop; it is really good at what it does, but it gets repetitive...
Think he was talking about Severance which is brilliant but I think your opinion on succession is very not good indeed
Well hell, then that indeed is completely wrong.
Thank you for the correction.Not in regards to Succession though; I stand by that.
I’ve always preferred non-organic ‘tatersWell hell, then that indeed is completely wrong.

No, only on special occasions
Looks promising…
I’ve started watching ‘the night agent’ it’s on Netflix and it’s a series. Looks pretty good so far.
Is this on Netflix now or due to come on Netflix?
Think it said the 20th. of April.
Really worth it one of my all time favourites
Yes and the 2nd series Ashes to Ashes. Brilliant premise and brilliant television
Philistine. I love Mike Myers and this was as corny and great as most things he does. I loved Jennifer Saunders in it.
OH YES, then straight on to Ashes to Ashes.
Well, hooked already on Life on Mars although it does help when Cream and Deep Purple are on the soundtrack for the first two episodes. I will be inquiring about Ashes to Ashes after I am done. Thanks
They had plans for a 3rd series but it's all gone quiet. But yeah great series.
Did you finish?
binged this with my wife. Fantastic show overall. But I'm conflicted over the ending. It was perfect in some ways but the last 2 episodes got way heavier than I feel the first part was leading to but I do think it makes perfect sense from what they were going for. Really great to see them just doing one complete season that says everything they want to say and not trying to set up future seasons just to keep it going. Great writing overall and definitely need more shows like this that go outside the box.
On episode 6 at the moment. Pretty good. Some episodes noticeably better than others. It’s a very proprietary LA culture type piece.
I'm with you on Succession.Well hell, then that indeed is completely wrong.

I went into it having seen how much it was rated on here and unfortunately it left me disappointed.
It has a good premise but the characters are also so freaking irritating or unlikeable at any given time. There are some good aspects but like you said, it's so repetitive. We on season 3 and we taking a break and maybe come back to it again at some point, but definitely not hurrying back to finish it.

Beef sort of went downhill after episode 5 imo. They should’ve shortened it into 7 or so episodes instead of dragging it out as they did. The writers were also trying a bit too hard to be clever with the dialogue which got a bit tedious by the episode.
Really enjoying this so far (4 episodes in) so many twists and turns it is probably something you have to watch twice. Kiefer Sutherland is back to his best with this series even though I enjoyed the 1st season of Designated Survivor. Always enjoy a good conspiracy series and this fits the bill.
Thanks for recommending this. Just seen it on Netflix. Great show. If you come across any others let me know.
Yes its excellent as is Ashes to Ashes - the prequel.
I've been really enjoying Rabbit Hole. Not the best show ever, but definitely one of the best coming out right now (I still have to catch s2 of yellowjackets)
Very interesting.
Doom Patrol season 4. Started it yesterday and it just seems pointless now. Also House of Dragons was another one that I couldn't be arsed with. I stopped watching after episode 4.
Thanks for the reply, started watching it in the meantime and really enjoying it
I've just finished Generation Kill and I was a bit disappointed to be honest since I saw a comment on here saying it was better than Band of Brothers. I thought it would have been better if it was about a more combative unit who were much more involved in Iraq so I think they have missed an opportunity there.
I don't think it's better than BoB. However I think the fact that they weren't always involved was an interesting part. It seemed to me a very realistic portrayal of how it goes.
Those marines were, most of the time, the furthest/deepest units into Iraq involved in the initial invasion. The reason it seems like they weren't so involved in actual combat is because it was a deliberate tactic by General Mattis to send them way ahead of the rest, to penetrate through the towns and hamlets past the Iraqi army lines of defence as rapidly as possible without actually clearing them.
Thanks, yeah figured that as it went along but just thought it may have been best documenting another unit to accurately reflect the war.
Night Agent was meh. Horrible acting from the woman that plays the Secretary. She needs a new career.
Slow Horses was good.
Started watching Florida Man. I tried explaining the Florida Man meme to my wife so she would pickup on the news desk clips but I gave up.

I’m halfway through Night Agent & am struggling a bit.
The new Perry Mason on HBO has been entertaining through two episodes.
I see the concluding season / episode (film length) of the Last Kingdom is on Netflix, will have a watch tonight if the kids give me a minute’s peace.
Halfway through the first episode (of three) of American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bombings on Netflix. Really well done so far, very immersive. Hard to believe that it happened ten years ago to the day.

I enjoyed the first 6/7 episodes but the rather clunky script and acting is beginning to grate, especially as the plot is getting a bit silly later on. Only the finale to go so I'm going to stick with it.
Slow horses is a very different British spy show and far far better.
