    Gonna give Mare of Easttown a watch when I'm finished the stuff I'm watching now.

    Currently watching The Missing, a BBC drama from 2014 about a little boy who vanishes while in France on a family holiday. Nearly finished series one (8 episodes, then a series 2 with a new storyline), it's very good. I've never been a massive fan of James Nesbitt but he plays his part well in this.

    Yeah i watched that years ago and they were both good. Have to say as an ex servicemen there were massive holes in the plot in terms of the lines between military and civvy police but that aside, it was good.

    It's good, a slow burner but very good.
    Kate Winslet and Jean Smart deserve Oscars for their roles.

    Just finished watching the last series of Bosch, apart from a bit of a corny too much coincidental ending, I thought It was probably the best series yet.

    I'm also glad to hear they are making a Spin off series where Bosch becomes a private Dick, makes sense as Bosch has to much to offer for Amazon to just bin it.
    For the record Amazon are not behind the new spin off series.

    Read all the Bosch books. It's very rare that books translate to good TV. But this has been the exception , really enjoyed them all. Still got two episodes to watch.

    Did you watch the spin-off series Baptiste, ODM? Just started watching it last night and there's a 2nd series starting this weekend I think.

    Yeah I watched the 2nd series (the Army one), just as good as the first (maybe even better).

    Just watched the last ever episode of Mr Inbetween. Sad that it's finished but at the same pleased that they didn't just keep churning out more series for the sake of it - nowt worse when a great show carries on too long (Dexter and Prison Break I'm look at you).

    “If I felt I could make another season and it would be as good as the others, I’d do it in a heartbeat. But I don’t want to make something that’s a pile of garbage. If you go, ‘I’ll just do another season, I’ll make some money’ you’re kind of ripping off those people who’ve been loyal and followed the show.”

    I've been watching 'Cold Feet' this week.
    Dunno what to make it of tell the truth but's it addictive in a sort of Voyeuristic way, It's very realistic and like peeping into the lives of people you know.

    That's because we all know people like the characters in this show, a lot of the story lines hit very close to home.

    Moans has been wanting to watch it for a while but I've put if off for yrs as the original trailers did nothing for me but about 3 or 4 yrs ago they started filming some scenes at my place of work and it gathered my interest.
    Not so much to watch it but Moans mentioned it again the other week and as there was fcuk all else on after the Euros I thought I'd give it a bash.

    I'm already on the 4th series out of nine after binge watching all week, It's good, it's emotional, it's thought provoking and very funny in parts.

    No matter who you are (so long as you've had a relationship lol) you will relate to it one way or another and find yourself in their shoes, it's brought back a lot of good and bad memories for me and still has me wanting to watch the next episode to see what it brings.

    This will not be everybody's taste but if it hooks you like it did me you won't be dissapointed.

    Clarksons Farm is the only thing i'm watching at the mo.
    Heard a fair few people talking it up at work, gave it a go and i wasn't disappointed. Good viewing if you've not already watched it.
    It's a bit staged in a places but that hasn't put me off. I'm on 6th episode of 8 and i think series two is being made.

    I watched the first one to see what the fuss was about too and thought it was quite good.
    I'll watch the second one about Sheep when Moans is out.
    Now she's a Vegan it's not worth the nagging that will come and not being able to hear a bleeding thing lol.

    I feel sure I must have mentioned this - Seen, you must have seen it.

    For anyone who has a sense of humour similar to mine, has Sky and who hasn't yet seen it, SILICON VALLEY is available again on demand.

    Don't let what it's about put you off. I know bugger all about computers and hi tech shit (I'm a techtard as most here know) but me and my lad have watched every episode about 8 times apiece and I'll be watching them all all over again. If you watch the first serious and don't end up laughing out loud through the series 1 finale then I'm not really sure what you would find funny.

    You have to get to know the characters but once you do, it's priceless and the plot twists and turns are brilliantly written.

    One of the most consistently funny things I have ever watched in my life

    Give it more than the first episode mate. You've got to get to know the people.
