Having never watched it the first time round I've now got into Shameless on Netflix, I think I'm halfway through series four at the moment.

catching up on The Outlaws - missed it on the first run. (a quick trawlsearch thro here shows that many well ahead of me0
Excellent.
Yep I know the characters are "types" to a degree but very humane writing with depth.
many/most are far from perfect but written with real empathy and wit - and the right-wing "type" sure has some good lines - hopefully this series will herald a certain move away from excessive wokeness.
part way through series 2 at the moment - am I right in thinking that a series 3 is on the cards?

We've just watched the last episode of 2nd series. One of the best things I've seen on TV, the writing, acting, and sheer craftsmanship throughout has been first class, and for me as an adoptive Bristolian seeing all the local sights
has been a bonus. 9+/10.

Currently catching up on series 2. I've already seen it but my memory is shocking. I think it's the best TV show for splats. It started with an epic splat and the speedboat hitting the sperm whale is possibly the best on screen splat of all time

You ain't seen nothing yet!!

Watched the first episode of Sherwood last night which I thought was good....some great actors in it.Six episodes on Mondays and Tuesdays over the next three weeks.

Two obvious clangers in it, Notts is an abbreviation of Nottinghamshire not Nottingham which is the rarely pronounced Nottm. As the local habit is to abbreviate to the shortest Notts sportswise indicates Notts County and hence no one would ever refer to Notts Forest who are simply referred to as Forest. The other was the best man railway geek referring to the Settle Carlisle as opening in 1840 which seemed far too early and Wiki gives 1875.

Talking about railway howlers, I learned from C5's World's Most Scenic Railway Journeys yesterday that Sulmona in Abruzzo was flattened during WWII by American B-52 bombers ...

Nordic Murders.

The Blacklist.

Y Golau. (Welsh language drama but not up to the standard of some previous ones) It features Welsh learner Joanna Scanlon (No Offence etc) in her first Welsh speaking lead role. Fair play to her.

MrsPete is engrossed in Greys Anatomy for some reason.. 🤷‍♂️

I also yesterday got to the end - on seeing, looks unlikely that there will be a third series - agree totally about the craftsmanship as well - didn't feel remotely short-changed that it was telly rather than cinema. In fact gave the writing real room to breathe.

Half way through series 4 Stranger Things , might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I love it . On a side note , Kate Bush is No1 in the charts as well!! Absolute mental on a song that’s I think 40 odd yr old . Been explaining to the kids !! They think she’s weird , she was hot hot hot when I was a lad.

That series is awful, the one that went from Crewe to York was apparently in North East England before it reached Derbyshire and was nearing journeys end as it was passing through Edale

Channel 5 documentaries are in a class of their own!

Just watched the first series of Slow Horses on Apple TV, I would thoroughly recommend it. Gary Oldman is brilliant
