Killing Eve is a bit shit IMO. Nevermind same postcode as others mentioned, not even same galaxy

I love the Sopranos. Me and Mrs McSwede have binge watched it many times. It's superb.

Mr mik and I enjoyed the first couple of seasons of KE, but we collectively lost all interest - haven’t seen any of the new series.

Anyhoo Tony Hawk - Until the wheels fall off

Like a lot of us, I had a Skateboard as a kid but was never really a boarder (I was more a BMX’er - Eddie Fiola was my hero) and I knew a bit more of the earlier, 70’s history of skateboarding. Lords of Dogtown etc but I really enjoyed this.

I didn’t know about his Dad’s role in organising competitions and the association etc. and it must be said, Rodney Mullen is a strange character

Very interesting and well worth a watch, even if you never skated. Even the other half stayed up way past her bedtime to watch it.

9(00) after 12 years of trying out of 10

Someone has clearly polled public opinion as they seemed to have decided that “if people like X, then they are going to love 10X”.

10 seconds of some irrelevant 90’s tune squeezed in every couple of minutes. You like it when Clare gets in a complete panic, and her face contorts as she runs out of breath trying to get her point out? OK - we’ll do that every 3 minutes.

Etc etc.

Meh

I think that's possibly a touch harsh but, having watched it last night I would say I think it's past its best. It seemed too contrived and the setup less natural than previous series. It thrived, like the Inbetweeners, on just hitting the right references of teenage years. But the 1st one at least has gone beyond that.

Tommy Tiernan was still funny as though.

We watched Hullraisers after and that seemed promising.
