@taniwharugby @MiketheSnow I think one of my posts were missed with the fucking spoiler thing taking the piss with my posts! This is the actual spoilered bit from the post you both liked.
:::
I think that the moment Paige got off the train she had made a decision that she was done with that life and was happy to live the rest of her days as an American.
I think it was a pretty good ending. The show was never typical, so not having a big final shootout fits for me.
I really wanted Elizabeth to go down, she's like a female version of the Breaking Bad guy whose name I can't remember, she's actually a really bad apple and I didn't want her to make it out.
For Phillip I think that at least in a few years time, with the ending of the Soviet Union, he'll be able to try and re-establish his connection with Henry.
Oh, I think we definitely know that Stan's missus is an agent from that final shot of her looking at the Jennings house. Actually a Stan Beamish show could be a spin off, him and his mate investigating a case(s) over 10 episodes.

Technical Mods: Any idea why spoilers only work occasionally for me?

Taboo. Seen 3 episodes. Tom Hardy is farking brilliant. The show itself is intriguing but a bit of a struggle sometimes. Will stick with it.

Yeah - stick with it, all the spiritual/hallucination shit tapers off, from what I recall. And with that stripped away, it's good shit.

watched S1 of Goliath.
Really enjoyed it, although I did struggle with how it all ended, nothing seemed to fall in place for them yet it still came off? I mean given what we know as the viewer, thats how it should have gone, but nothing else seemed to point that way.
Had a look at KIlling Eve, ep 1 was good enough for me to watch more.

@taniwharugby totally agree - it was like a deus ex machina except we didn't even get a god on a fiery chariot
Still enjoyed it. Currently half way through s2 which looks like its trending towards a similar contrived design

Sharp Objects - Ep 1. This is the new psychological thriller series featuring Amy Adams and based on the first novel by Gillian Flynn (of Gone Girl fame) about a reporter who returns to her old rural Midwest town to cover the murders of two young girls. Adams' character has demons of her own including a dysfunctional family, a fondness of vodka and self-harm.
All the reviews said it was a slow burner but with a good cast this has promise.

I've heard this is a good un so pretty keen to give it a hoon.
Mrs got me watching Cloak and Dagger which looks pretty shit so far but then again I strongly dislike any Super Heroes who aren't Batman or Iron Man.

Succession

Great writing, great acting
The fan is starting to get covered. -
About 6 eps into Killing Eve...really enjoying it! Darkly amusing, both main female characters (Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer) are very good.

finished S1 of KIlling Eve, really enjoyed it.
Love Villanelle/Ocksanna's character!

I've got one problem with it... watching Succession, and Billions, in parallel currently - and really starting to feel my lifestyle is not up to scratch.
(within a 2 hour period, I watched 2 scenes involving chomping down on an ortolan, yet I've never tried one. Hating being poor.) -
Unforgotten on ITV. Third series starting tonight. First two were very good with a nice change to the police procedural format and good writing/characters.
Worth watching and a well written female lead makes it a show the other half will enjoy so you can fill the shared watching quota without suffering. -
Took me right back to Middletown Mall circa 1989 and day's off from Summer Camp

Oh also, Before we Die has been really good.
Compelling thriller from Sweden in which police detective Hanna Svensson steps in to handle a mysterious informant in a criminal organisation when her colleague and lover Sven goes missing
Back watching Sneaky Pete S1 again so can watch S2 with the missus, still really good second time around.
Finally finished Before We Die - highly recommend, bit of a cheesy set up for a second season, but a good, quite suspenseful watch.
Picked back up on Billions also, forgot how brilliant it is. Some of the best dialogue ever.
