@john-folan Mare of Easttown is great so far, sky have always been doing well, flight attendant, the third day, chernobyl, gangs of london, the affair, the undoing, the good doctor and of course the massive HBO slots like Game of thrones etc, all have been good watches, underrated at times i feel as a subscription platform for their main channels. I hope they get to keep their HBO license agreement to keep showing all these

@john-folan what about it is worth the watch? Seems sky really upping their game. I watched the flight attendant which got annoying after a while but started strong.

The story, the characters. Actors are bringing their A game. Next episode not out till Monday so a bit gutted.

Watch ‘Mare of Easttown’. Kate Winslet is next level and this comes from someone who hated Titanic. Only two episodes available thus far but so worth it.

@john-folan I am, loving it. Although only 2 in - I firmly believe Disney bought marvel for Tv series and the later films really. They’ve nailed the series and will do the films well from now.

Just watched season 1 of "Shadow and Bone" on Netflix, fantasy drama but well written with good characters. Just hope they make a season 2....

Anyone watched Years and Years? Normal Manchester family drama which turns into a scary sci fi dystopian nightmare pretty quickly.

Also started watching Euphoria starring Zendaya. Pretty good so far.

@john-folan Nope, done with Disney for me, sub expired. Is it any good?

It's outstanding. They have nailed the Marvel TV Series so far.

We just binged the latest series of Unforgotten in two days. Fantastic. Need more like that

What service is that on? dont think Ive come across that.

Also Im coming to the end of book 4 of the bobiverse series and looking for my next. Have you read the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds? Any good if so?

First few series are on Netflix. The latest is on the itv hub. Really good.

No. I can recommend you try a bit of Peter Hamilton though. Superb. All of his stuff.

@john-folan Its great! Gets better as it goes on.

Good shout on Farscape @matt-wood. Something to watch now I have finished series two of Snowpiercer.

[John Folan]

Can highly recommend Invincible on Amazon Prime. I have read the graphic novel and it is superb. The first 3 episodes are up. I’ve watched the first and it is as good as the graphic novel.

[Matt Wood]

Finally got around to watching Ex Machina on Netflix yesterday. Meh... for me it felt over hyped. Was pretty predictable.

@john-folan That series was done so well, my fav along with Farscape.

Never watched that. Did they finish it properly?

In a short answer...Yes.

Got cancelled after season 3, fan tantrum led to season 4 then cancelled. Fan tantrum for a finish to the story lead to a 'season 5' which was two episodes of around 90mins each.

Some of the special effects are probably a bit dated now but well worth a watch. My all time fav sci-fi series.

Think its still on Prime at the moment.

It’s on there. Away we go

Give it chance, the first season starts slowly, by 3rd and 4th seasons its really top stuff.
