The accent alone made it hard work.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Fair enough..I watched it with subs on all the time but funny enough after a while you get so used to the accent I barely needed it anymore.
I was the same when I first attempted to watch PB, gave up, then a few weeks ago decided to try again and I stuck with it, I'm glad because once you get comfortable with the cast and setting it's truly epic. Watching the last two episodes tonight agree the Brummie accent can be difficult to understand depending on the actor. I loved the character Arthur Shelby but sometimes couldn't understand his dialect. Brilliant cast, Murphy, Hardy, Neill, McRory, Gillen.
I understand the Brunmie accent with no problem. I just can't stand listening to it. Could be worse of course. It could have been set in Liverpool.
Enjoying Slow Horses. The guy who plays River is good. Very grounded and believable way of speaking and acting.
The 3 body problem is pretty good. It is certainly watchable.
I've only just got access to it (loved the films) and am surprised Sky Max were showing it in the afternoon.
Have started Death's Game on Amazon Prime. A Korean series it's fantastic 2 episodes in.
Just finished season 1. Very good indeed.
My only complain is the hunt of the Slough House staff, it's way over the top. I thought I had skipped an episode and was confused.
Gary Oldman is quite brilliant in it as well.
Anyone know if “You” is coming back for another season? Penn Badgley was great in it.
Yep. Par for the course though!
I believe it is although didn’t think it was that great last season.
Yeah I enjoyed the first season the most because the premise was novel. Hopefully they will be able to reinvent the narrative
anybody seen Surreal Estate , gets good reviews.

starting at S1 episode 1.
True Detective.
True Detective.
Continuing my sci-fi binge, starting Foundation.
Just finished Death's Game.
Utterly brilliant. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Heart wrenching and so clever. Trying not to give away any spoilers it's so well done.
Just watch it with subs don't try and get a dubbed version.
In fact just watch it.
I was actually welling up during the finale.
Not for the faint hearted but the gritty action serves as a foil to the underlying message.
Watched it on Amazon Prime. If you do watch it don't give up early it just gets better and better.

WOW , thats the only way to put season 1, honestly some of the best TV I have watched, Matthew McConaughey Woody Harrelson were fantastic, there is not many things that in an 8 eps season, so many are 10/10 and the other were very close too. Season 1 is an easy 10/10.
Glad you rated it. It's the pinnacle of TV for me; just stay away from the follow-ups if your will power can withstand it...
Last of Us was a good watch.
It’s great! I’d personally recommend Season 3 as well. It’s not as good, but nothing really is, and it still has a coherent plot, interesting characters and good performances. At the very least it’s not complete nonsense like Season 4
Already on S2, I know it wont be up to S1 but it has a decent cast so , well lets see.Glad you rated it. It's the pinnacle of TV for me; just stay away from the follow-ups if your will power can withstand it...
Season 2 done and yes obviously down on season 1, still thought it was excellent, Colin Farrell was brillant, maybe his part part has was Rachel McAdams and Kelly Reilly. Season 2 gets 8/10
is True Detective S4 worth watching. I'm half-way through ep 1 and already bored.
It gets dreadful reviews.
The first ep was the best received from what I can remember, so if it hasn't grabbed you you might as well pull the plug.
Better than the worst reviews but even Jodie Foster can't save it from a pointless plot/script. I didn't hate it but you wouldn't care if you never saw it.
Jealous. Would love to go in fresh and watch that series again, S1 Is some of the best to ever.
yeah I've knocked S4 on the head after first episode, looks like it's gonna be a struggle to get through
It is shite, no point continuing.
Dont get the hard criticism of S4. It def was no S1 but then 2-3 weren't either. It did lose a bit of traction midway but overall I'm glad I finished it. I thought it was pretty well done. Not top shows of all time material by any means, but better than 90% of the other shit out there.
Finished Season 3 True Detective and I enjoyed it, better than season 2 ,not the ending I was expecting, but I love it.
Gets an 8.5/10
