Just watched it absolutely really funny lol worth a catch up on T BBC 2 9pm football dressing room comedy..

Would be good to watch that again. It must be a good 20+ years old, and I suspect some of it won’t have aged well, but it was great at the time. For most of the cast, it gave them their breakout roles.

Just started the stranger on Netflix. Based on Harlem coben book. I read one before and it was rubbish but a page turner. Much like this TV series. Am going to have to watch until the end because although it's pretty rubbish the plot is intriguing

Started this yesterday and 5 episodes in, your post sums up my thoughts exactly really.

The ending is even less fulfilling

Oh good, that's comforting. It's got some fairly ropey acting in it whilst having a reasonably decent collection of actors, I'll see it through to the end and almost immediately forget it ever existed.

Yeah, it starts off really good but by ep5/6 it's fairly easy to workout the rest of the story line.

I watched every episode in about 3 days. Very unsatisfying.

I didn't even think it was good. It was intriguing, like I really wanted to know what happened but by episode 5 I didn't really care but had come that close to the end I had to see it through. Only because each episode was a cliffhanger

Finally got to the end of The Vietnam War showed on Netflix last night.
Having grown up in the sixties when the USA involvement grew, watching the 20 hours or so of the series went a long way to help me understand events in Vietnam itself, and in the USA.
Draft dodgers, the duplicity of presidents and politicians and senior military staff, the slaying of students by the National Guard at Kent University, the My Lai massacre and too many more to mention all finally explained to me.
Lots of harrowing live filming of battles and the aftermath were dramatic enough, but the still photographs by war photographers were the most poignant.
The two most iconic photos were the one of the young naked girl burnt by the napalm drop, and the one of the helicopter on the roof of the US embassy as the Viet Cong entered Saigon.
The futility and the madness of war laid bare for all to see.

Its one of the best things ive seen on Netflix, highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

Added this to watch yesterday, thank God you saved me the horror.


Just to say that Succession was superb, Season 1 doesnt do it justice, but Season 2 was just a non-stop rollercoaster.

A great show that everybody should watch.
