Final episode of Slow Horses season 5 was much better. Very good.
Yeah, was a bit worried it had gone a bit samey in eps 4 & 5. Ep 6 was top notch.
Been recommended Down Cemetery Road. Anyone seen it?

Its literally only just released and only a couple of episodes dropped. Same author as slow horses as well as producers who fell in love with his work, so on my radar, will just wait for more to drop.

House of Guinness
Seems there are some true parts to this, but is largely a work of fiction.
Dislike series that end as this one did (especially as it seems that was totally fictional) but there you go.
Not a must watch by any stretch, but good enough to keep me interested.

For my lighter comedy watches, just started S3 of Raising Hope, good silly fun series.
also started S5 of Cheers, still reckon this would be pretty safe in todays woke society, quality!

Is Raising Hope available for streaming? I just assumed it would be one of those lost shows. I think I watched it's entire run back in the old acquiring shows days which means I likely have it 480p on a HD somewhere.

@Nepia I believe it is available on Disney.

Oh shit, I should rewatch it before my Disney runs out.
I wish it was easier to find stuff on Disney, if it wasn't for Amazon they'd win the hardest to find anything to watch award.

@Nepia before I look for alt options to watch something, I just google how to watch 'X' in NZ....there was a couple of series recently I was unable to source through any platforms.

I use justwatch to find stuff I want to watch, but I mean it's not easy to find stuff within the app by browsing, rather than knowing what you want to watch.
Disney is like a video store where they have the same 50 videos in rows at the front and then have a basement with all the others that you have to walk down 100 steps to get to.

Right couple of series knocked off
Season 5 Slow Horses
Still combines action with a bit of comedy, didn't feel it reached the same heights in some aspects if I'm comparing series, but still feel its one of the better series still going. Maybe too much fat old bloke who can barely move turning up at the right place/right time boundary pushed a little too much
Season 2 Gen V
What do writers do that now they can legally smoke all day? They write a series spin for "The Boys". Seriously warped minds with who came up with some of the gen v talents. Think this will now link with the long overdue next season of "The Boys" where Homelander just may have met his match.
Season 1 Chief of War
Started promisingly, set in Hawaii circa 1800s based on the tribes fighting between islands and the prophecy that would see reunification. Well told at first and a really good drama. Felt the final couple of episodes maybe lost its way a bit, trying to decide whether they wanted to turn it into a "fast and furious" or keep a bit more gritty balance. Still really good overall and will watch a second season if it gets the green light.

ive never watched Gen V, only got round to watching the Boys earlier this year.
would Gen V be needed leading into the final season of The Boys? -

would Gen V be needed leading into the final season of The Boys?probably not, but one character could possibly become a lead character in the final season and just depends whether you would care about needing to know that back story
-
@bayimports yeah enjoyed the first season of Gen V, although started to lose interest towards the end and they've picked up where they left off. Bonkers for bonkers sake gets a bit boring.

contunuing the theme of watching series to the end even though you probably shouldnt have
Season 3 Invasion (Apple)
Not going to fact check but feels like it was over 2 years between season 2 and season 3. Im also told it maybe not the final season. Story line has been done before, only a few spins on an Alien invasion you can do I guess and because it was so long between seasons made me feel like I needed to remember who everyone was again. If you started season 1 now, you might have a completely different opinion. Quality special effects for a Sci -fi and still watchable to my point, if you started from season 1 you would probably think this was still really good, but if there is a season 4 and its another 2 years away then maybe I wont finally finish something.

I watched a series called Deep State on Disney, was from 2018-2019 and the first season starred Mark Strong and the second season starred Walton Goggins. Was a weirdly made show, watchable without being outstanding. British show but looks to be partially made for US market. Lots of bad US accents from British actors.
First season was probably better, but Walton Goggins is always watchable.
Would have been better if it was an actual British show of say 6 episodes as it was really stretching plotlines to get to 10.
Also, finally lost my access to Netflix, so that sucks balls.

I remember that quite enjoyed it at the time I think, Walton Goggins always helps
