I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.
Really enjoying 'The Diplomat' on Netflix. Funny and interesting at the same time, though I'm a sucker for spy stuff. Has the potential to descend into farce or soap, but I really hope it avoids both traps.

Watched a film called ‘AKA’ on Netflix last night.
Fair as an action movie but of interest to football aficionados because Eric Cantona (he of the Kung Fu kick) plays a role as a gangster boss. His acting is actually quite good.
(You need to select English on the language option menu otherwise the film plays in French).
Rain Dogs starring Daisy May Cooper is one I'm enjoying at the moment. Worth a look.
Very saucy and near the knuckle and the Villian from Poldark is the star of the show. Inside no 9 was brilliant the other night with Anita Dobson and Phil Daniels starring as a the most macabre couple of nut jobs you will ever see.

I really enjoyed this too.
The dialogue puts it a cut above soap opera at the moment. Hopefully they won't rush out the second series, which is where it can go wrong, like the most recent series of Line of Duty. Also they've taken trouble with the supporting roles, like Celia Imrie's delicious portrayal of a Tory power broker manipulating behind the scenes or Rory Kinnear's inadequate but over-educated Prime Minister, constantly quoting some philosopher or other.
Terrifying, emotional, provocative, thought provoking, maybe even opinion changing, charting the descent of entire Northern Irish community into what is almost a psychotic episode.
Informative too, for anyone who might be interested in learning a bit more about "The Troubles". What TV ought to do more of in my opinion.
Another vote here for Once upon a time in Northern Ireland. Superb series chronicling The Troubles through the voices of ordinary people on all sides. Hugely sad, enlightening and giving you real feel of what it was like to live through. Brilliant television.
Not sure Barry’s been mentioned on here but it’s very good fun. It’s a comedy created and starring Bill Hader about a hitman who starts taking acting classes in LA.
Final episode tonight for Barry and the excellent Succession which has arguably had its strongest season. I’ll need to find some new shows to watch!

Just watched the second episode on IPlayer. Brilliant Television and a stark reminder of what an horrendous time in Britain and Ireland this was . I lived 40 miles from the border and apart from cross country races in Belfast , it wasn’t a place you entered without trepidation. A must watch and some truly uplifting stories.
Half way through Ted Lasso. To be honest i’m Not sure.
Thought the first two seasons were brilliant, but the third has gone way too far down the virtue signalling route, and I'm normally what people might consider "woke". Its painfully obvious in the latest series.
Sort of a mix between things like Life on Mars and Lock, Stock. The 80's soundtrack alone makes it a decent, entertaining watch without ever hitting great heights.
Paul Weller appears briefly as an extra in the very first scene.
Agreeing with two recent posts but do it in one post or risk building my part up… Traininvain bang on with Barry although have to watch from start - two eps to go.
And agree with Sydney that final season of Lasso is just honking the messages with volume at 11. Did enjoy first two seasons minus the brief football & guess will ride it out to end but not sure.
Lastly acknowledging the final of Succession - great writing & the cast clearly enjoying themselves with it. Best show in recent times for me
I Didn't know whether to laugh or cry watching it. I'll watch it again and probably do Both. It's a beautiful Creation. Infinite Beauty. Just watch it if you can.
"...The monkey is never dead, Dealer. The monkey never dies. When you kick him off, he just hides in a corner, waiting his turn."
Basically an Afghanistan shoot 'em up about the relationship between an American soldier and his interpreter, but much deeper than that. A really, really good watch.
Always Sunny in Philadephia is back and the most recent episode (the chess one) was insane.
Next month we get;
Miracle Workers s4. Give this a go. Initially it seems a bit twee and rubbish but it got really good in s1 and has kept that up. It's a different setting each series too. Harry Potter guy is in it but he's alright.
What We Do in the Shadows s5. They could have ended this one a while back but it's still pretty funny.
ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH MARTI THE REDEEMER WHO STRENGTHENS ME.

Got about 3 episodes in and knocked it on the head absolute crap The lead girl in it is a terrible actress and her character hasn’t got any likeable features
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Another shout out for Barry.
It's taken me a while to get as far as I have - episode 6 of season 3 - because it needs binge watching but it is well worth a look.
I also recommend the latest season of Black Mirror.
Netflix Tour de France unchained, 3 episodes in and it's a much watch for all cycling fans. Really good insight into last year's tour from behind the scenes and I know the next few episodes will be amazing viewing even though I know how it ends ðŸ˜
