Something very bad is going to happen (Netflix)
Churned through about half of this in one go last night
Properly put the willies up me
Looking forward to watching the rest of it!

There’s a second series currently on weekly release. Waiting until it’s all out before renewing my Apple TV subscription
We're only four episodes in, might have to stretch it out to avoid the wait!
Great recommendation, Mrs and I binged season 1 last week. Very entertaining although the premise that all these flawed characters share everything openly is a little hard to believe at times. But they are Americans I suppose.
Harrison Ford stoic snark is a perfect foil for Segel's good natured bumbler.
Finished the current season, and it wraps everything up quite beautifully. Slightly misty-eyed.

Not recent yet, but just saw there's a new series of Ted Lasso starting in August. That's exciting.

Yup. An elegant solution to not being able to bring the old team back together and create some new story lines.

Just finished watching Mr Inbetween on Disney+. It really is excellent. Highly recommended.
I only twigged recently that this was on Disney+
Have seen loads of clips on yuchoob, but it is (of course) way better watching whole episodes. I'm only half way through S2 but enjoying.

By and large Aussie telly is awful, but this was brilliant.
There's a film too:

Interesting - didn’t realise he (Scott Ryan) created the series (and directed that film). Talented man.

I've been banging on about Mr Inbetween for ages to a couple of mates and they've both finally watched it and said how great is was. I'd be suspicious of anyone that didn't like it, tbh!

Always looked good on Social Media clips but never had the channel.
Recently got Disney + through Sky so gave it a go.
Only 2 episodes in but really good. Ray’s the definition of quiet menace

Very late but binged Better Call Saul. Now I consider BB to be on the off the all-time great TV shows, but I absolutely struggled with BCS. No idea why, but I massively disliked Saul and Kim, and it was only Mike/Nacho's story that got me any engagement....massively disappointed.
Also catching up with Ted. Love stupid humour, so it's right up my street.

This Is a Bomb: The Nevada Casino Heist BBC Two Tonight
I watched this a few weeks ago on iPlayer and can thoroughly recommend it. Mad dad forces his two sons to join him in a plot to extort money from casino by planting a bomb. Program delves into the details of the event itself but also focuses on the impact on the lives of the people around it.
Very interesting story and well worth a watch

Binged White Lotus seasons 1 & 2 recently. Highly watchable stories, mildly surreal characters and entertainingly dark humour combined with a murder/crime plot. Quite amazed how they’ve fused so many different strands together and it works brilliantly.

Second season of BEEF on Amazon.
Story has no link to the first season, but whilst it gets a little silly, there are some great characters and highly awkward moments.

Legends on Netflix with Alan Partridge - pretty good

Set in the 90's, lots of period cars polished within an inch of their lives. And a 90's soundtrack

Watched 4 episodes on YouTube via Quest. Couldn’t find any more though, how many are there? You can see why they’ve chosen him as a presenter for The Grand Tour, he's so enthusiastic and knowledgeable.
