We seem to be pretty in sync at the moment! Maybe you should recommend me something. :lol:

You've prob seen a lot of the stuff I've watched recently! Two I'd be pretty sure you haven't - Undercover (Netflix) and Guilt (BBC). Try those.

Assume you've seen Tokyo Vice? Also, if you can find The Deuce somewhere, it's excellent.

I think I might delve into Constellation or True Detective (season 4) next.

Thanks, I shall investigate.

Narcos - Seasons 1 and 2 (2015/2016 | Netflix)

I didn't know the story of Colombian Pablo Escobar and his drugs empire. This was a gripping tale and surprising at times, too; the money involved was incredible and the violence was ruthless. I didn't feel the need to watch the third season but the first two were great, albeit often harrowing, entertainment. [8]

3 Body Problem - Season 1 (2024 | Netflix)

An incredibly odd series; at first it didn't quite gel with me but I'm glad that I stuck with it as I soon became engrossed. There are such a range of characters and unusual situations that I sometimes found it challenging to follow. I very much enjoyed it although I suspect that, rather like the terrific Lost series, the journey will be more enjoyable than the ending and there may not be many answers. Regardless, an excellent first season. [8]

1 and 2 were very good but I think that season 3 focuses on some of the other drug lords?
I may well watch it in the near future but the ending of season 2 seemed like a good point to take a break. I also wanted to give 3 Body Problem a watch!

S3 is just as good as S1 and S2, maybe even better.

Yeah jawa you've got to watch it. The Cali cartel story is amazing.

Ozark series 1 - 9/10

Excellent stuff. Like breaking bad but with money laundering.

Thanks, guys, I will check it out!

Ozark is a great series; as you say, it has the feel of Breaking Bad. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ted Lasso - S3 - 9/10

I thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and thought the final season was a good pay off. It's far from perfect, but is just so wholesome and feel good that it's easy to ignore all the flaws.

I especially enjoyed in the finale that they failed to win the league. It was so obvious it was going to end in triumph, that it was great they were runners up.

Funny you should mention this, i'm now 4 episodes into season 1 and am really enjoying it.

This is unusual but I'm going to share brief thoughts about a series before I've actually finished it.

Ripley (2024 | Netflix)

+ Wonderful black and white presentation
+ Rich, sensuous environments and backdrops
+ An intriguing plot with interesting performances
- This is The Talented Mr Ripley remade and dragged out over eight (8!) episodes. I'm not sure I can hack it and I'm only half-way through!

Provisional scoring:
If you haven't seen The Talented Mr Ripley [8]
If you have seen The Talented Mr Ripley [4]

I thought it was an Alien TV show.

...I was wrong.

Yes, we've seen pretty much the same story before in Talented. But this deserves more then to be spoken of as simply a "remake". I have now seen episodes 4 and 5 and I cannot over-emphasise the quality of the sets and the filming. There are so many scenes where one could pause and just gaze at the splendour; the dial on the radio, the glint of the ashtray, the leather on the seat, the light from the window... the blood on the bath.

Three eps to go and I can't wait to see more.

. I'm gonna watch the finale this evening; I hope it matches up to the past few episodes!

...and completed.

Ripley (2024 | Netflix)

Excellent. One could pick holes in the plot and, yes, it might be said that it is rather slow. However, the filming and presentation is just irresistible throughout. [8]

I don't care what anyone says, I really liked this and the set-up for series 3 is great.

The stuff on the Halo itself looks like it'll be good enough but the battle in space is still yet to be resolved and the infection at the base of operations needs sorting. It sometimes annoys me that fans can't just let this series be its own thing and go in a different direction as this story is as good as the story of the games.

I really hope we get series 3 as series 2 was a 9/10 from me .

Mostly mirrors my feelings as well.

8/10 for me. Better than the first season. Though some small niggles pull it down for me.

This series just gets better and better and I can't wait for the next season.
The story is amazing and all the characters are just great.
Easily worth the cost of Apple TV+ on it's own and an easy 10/10.

Just magnificent and perfect Sci-Fi.

I've just finished season 4 and would like to echo this post. It's a strawberry floating brilliant show.

It doesn't look like they've confirmed a season 5 yet. I'll be furious if this show doesn't continue.
