Mrs M and I are watching Endeavour - the Morse prequel - from the start.
Traditional British detective series with great acting, writing & pacing - and which makes you think a bit. Up there with the best things I've watched.

Roger Allam was great in that, but all the casting was spot on.

Yeah, he delivered one of the all-time great lines just before beating the living crap out out of a corrupt copper:
"What if I don't tell you, Friday?"
"Then I'll have to take my hat off...."

Ha! I remember that. As threats go it wasn’t too, well threatening but the outcome was impressive.

Endeavour
Thaks for the info, the missus and I are big Morse fans, books and series. I'll have to search this one out.

anyone watch the first episode of Loki?

Yep. Well made. Looks like it's going to get a bit confusing to follow as he will be chasing himself. The whole multiverse/different timeline stuff can get convoluted.
If you like that stuff though and are a Marvel fan you will not only enjoy but probably find it necessary to follow where they were lining up the Wanda stuff and judging by the Dr Strange title. -

Coupling is the best sitcom ever, I often quote the pillow rant at home.
Watching it on Red-Red days in the Falklands in The Goose bar, drinking John Smiths with all the ATC lovelies - awesome!
I really liked Coupling when I watched it originally, early 2000s.
I liked it enough that I torrented it about a decade ago pre-streaming services. To watch whole series (mostly watch again, but assume I missed a few episodes). But I found it was so bad, like cringingly bad. I think I probably only re-watched S1 E1.
So, was it just early episode roughness? Does it get better? Because I remember I had genuine LOL moments when I watched it originally. I thought maybe I had just 'out-grown' it

As opposed to above.
I re-watched all of IT Crowd once I got Netflix. Loved it. Along with Community the top 2 comedy series ever IMO (that I can think of). Maybe also with Young Ones, but I watched them so many times when I was younger that it no longer surprises me etc.
Edit, wait. And Spaced.
Community, Spaced, IT Crowd. Probably also Young Ones and Blackadder if your are youngish and never thrashed them.

I love both. Endeavour and Morse.
Endeavour more actually, as they develop Morse's personal side more.

In Infinitywar/Endgame there was the whole idea of millions of possible possible outcomes and the fact only one of them resulted in the "good guys" winning
this kind of suggested there is ONE official timeline and those dudes go and correct things if tings deviate from the official one...so does that mean regardless they would have and maybe did intervene to fix things

This is exciting because I love both Young Ones and Blackadder, and I've never seen an episode of any of the other 3!
Some binging ahead methinks!

I don’t watch it until long after it originally aired - and likely the same time I was watching shows like Community, Party Down, Parks and Rec etc and I really liked it.
Maybe your tastes have matured as you’ve aged. Or maybe you do need to give to a few eps? I’m only just making my way through Silicon Valley now because back when it came out I got bored in the first two episodes but I’m enjoying it now.

Might add Blackadder to my list to re-watch (although I have only ever watched sporadically, and probably never entire seasons)
Think I'm onto S4 of IT Crowd (love it, TR JNr is watching too) and same for IASIP (this has some good stuff, but some meh)

Can't believe that there is someone that needs to watch Blackadder for any less than the 10th time!
When you finish IT Crowd search out Toast of London for some more Matt Berry.
Warning: if you watch with your son from then on any time you ask if he can hear you will be met with

@Rapido @Machpants @Victor-Meldrew
You might want to hunt out Lewis also - the follow on from Morse. It's got a complete Fox in it.

Fresh, Fried and crispy. Netflix.
This is like the filthiest porn to me. GOD I love watching people eat and their reactions, even had a thing for that man vs food guy years ago. Anyway... This has some reaaaally naughty food, pretty much all deep fried and BAAAAD, totally forbidden fruit (for me) . Excuse me...
