Just finished Season 2 of Gangs of London

That's it for me

Turned in to The Walking Dead

Same shit, different day

With ever more implausible plots

Yeah now that's a heck of a lot more ridiculous than MoK.

Mayor of Kingstown stupidity update. Fucking stupidly stupid.

This bloke Mike is apparently:

-The best fighter you've ever seen, either hand to hand or in shootouts and in both scenarios he's fighting off multiple assailants. FFS, they could have at least had an offhand comment saying he was a Navy Seal before going to prison as he's essentially Rambo trapped in Jeremy Renners body.
-He's the best policeman who ever lived, and all the real police snap to attention whenever he gives them an order.
-He's also the best prison guard/warden who ever lived and constantly tells them how to do their jobs.
-He's essentially a serial killer, but because he's the best policeman who's ever lived it doesn't really matter.

And yes, I'm still fucking watching it as I'm to useless to stop the autoplay between seasons.

I think we may have just watched the same episode. It's great stuff, innit?

Absolutely done to death.

I see there’s spin off shows with lots of the main characters now. Ridiculous. It should have stopped at about season 5

The Penguin was a really good series with superb performances from the lead actors. The perfect final episode.

Lioness Season 2 is top notch

Learned today that the guy who played Streethawk in the titular 80s TV show ("The Man, Machine, Streethawk"), Rex Smith, also had a mediocre music career.

Currently on Ep 5 of The Day of the Jackal remake on Sky Atlantic and Sky Showcase, here in the UK. Eddie Redmayne starring in what is essentially 2024’s version of The Night Manager. Quite enjoyable and Redmayne plays the complex Jackal well.

Bones

Sherwood S2.

Even better than S1. A lot.

The Oz version of The Office is shit.

Watched two episodes and felt like I'd seen it all before.

Binged Slow Horses S04

Awesome. Great plot twists, action scenes and acting.

Happy to hear that because I just finished season one and I'm a fan.

@Kruse Why aren't you watching Disclaimer? Leila George's boobs all over the place.

So watched it. The cast (Cate Blanchett, Kevin Kline, Sacha Baron Cohen) suggested it would be worth the effort and it was. Kevin and Sacha are always good, and this role suited Cate. Tit watch superb for a couple of episodes, but the ending let me down - just felt like an anti-climax given how well it built up.
