For those watching Chernobyl I highly recommend the podcast….

And for readers - the book 'Voices from Chernobyl' has a number of first hand accounts of the happening.

Thanks for those tips. I’ll endeavour to get to grips with both.

Re-watching SPACED… I actually bought the DVD set for this (2nd hand) well over 10 years ago... And I'm glad I did... So much fun... And so many familiar faces!..

Finally found a good rip with proper Eng subs. Season 4 is a GO!..

FFS thought this show had ended after the last series, thanks for the heads up.

Seul

35' into the first ep and I'm already out of nails to bite on… Holy cow this show is good...

Chernobyl is all @Chesson has been talking about in the office. It's def on my list.

I am absolutely hooked on The Act at the moment, had to force myself to turn it off after 5 episodes last night.

I remember reading about it on forums when it all happened, totally bizarre and messed up.

Seul

I have had the first ep of THE ACT in my virtual queue for quite a while now… Decided to d/l the whole season... Not sure what to expect but looks good...

But first the finale of GOMORRA... And then WHEN THEY SEE US...

Graham

@Seul The Act is great from the start but it gets really really good @ ep 3.

When They See Us is next for me too. I recently went down the rabbit hole for the 3rd time re-watching anything and everything to do with the West Memphis 3.

^ I fancy that.

Watching “In The Name Of The Rose”. Fantastic. Rupert Everett as Bernado Gui is a revelation.

@Graham:

Did that a couple of months back…

Still can't forget the image of the one dad taking his teeth outta his mouth

As you all know, I'm a huge fan of the holidays… Christmas, new year's eve,... But not because of the festive mood, oh no, but because it's that time of the year that THE BIG FAT QUIZ OF THE YEAR drops... Huge fan... And now I've just discovered 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN...

AND THERE ARE 17 BLEEDIN SEASONS SO FAR... 17!.. SEE YOU NEXT YEAR, EVERYONE!..

Seul

Well I've just discovered a true television gem… FISHING WITH JOHN...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139776/

It's from 1991, has guests such as Matt Dillon, Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper,... It's as if the show itself took a lot of drugs... Twin Peaks meets Burdain's Parts Unknown...

I can't post a direct link, but if you were to look it up at LimeTorrents.info you might find it...

Dark

not sure if it's been discussed here….I'm half way through S02.
Engrossing, beautifully shot, great sound design and music.
Can't recommend enough.

Seul

DARK S01 was good. Completely devoid of humour but then it is German after all… Heard less good things about S02 but yet to watch it meself...

TOP GEAR S27 was absolutely glorious, and I hope Freddie, Paddy and Harris will be back next year...

STRANGER THINGS S03 was just perfect 80ies all killer no filler American pastiche...

I just started watching PERPETUAL GRACE... One of the writers is the guy that made PATRIOT… Together with TERRIERS this is one of the less known US shows I always recommend…

Seul

And, of course, RECTIFY, but that's a tad slower and more difficult to get into…

neph93

Always been tempted by Dark but never gotten around to it.

At the risk of having to forfeit my man card, Big Little Lies S2 is fantastic.

Seul

Well I've got as far as having downloaded S01… It's on the list...

But for now it's BASKETS S04 and THE HANDMAID'S TALE S03...

neph93

S1 takes some time to get going but ends strongly. S2 dives right in and contains some incredible performances.

I’m half way through Handmaids Tale S3 and it feels like it is treading water to a degree. Certainly compared to S2 which was mental. Still worth watching though.

I loved Stranger Things seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 is a festering dung heap of poor writing and overwrought dialog. It’s like all the dialog in the script was written in ALL CAPS. With LOTS!!!! OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!! Like a 12-year-old wrote it. ::) Oh well. On to Dark season 2…
