Finished The Morning Show and thought it was great. It’s full of actors I thought were lightweights but who’ve proved me wrong. I also assumed it would be very preachy left in its message but it doesn’t pull its punches on anybody. The thing I’ve come away with most strongly is that they may get paid $25m a year but who would ever want to live like that?

Watching 'The Great' with the wife, didnt seem like my thing when reading the synopsis, but is pretty good.
Very loosely based on the rise of Catherine the Great, some historical events, but otherwise is a bit of satire, some of it is pretty funny with some great characters!
Plenty of shagging (TW = 0 so far) and swears (on NEON in NZ)
Started this last night and within eight minutes I stopped so the wife could watch it with me. Did not expect it to be this good.
-
@antipodean there are some genuinely funny parts and very good acting, always looking up what things are even loosely real and which are completely fictional
-
-
So I finished the full Only Fools and Horses series (have a couple of specials to watch, but looks like a couple are doco's so wont be rushing to watch)
So, so good!
Plenty of genuine laughs, and it is certainly different humour than many of todays comedy shows, alot more PG level.
@Nevorian my fave episode was the one where Del entered Rodney in the art competition and they won a trip to Mallorca, that was hilarious!!

Also finished this and was more than surprised. Initially I thought it would be a comedy given the cast. 10mins into the first episode and I was thinking this comedy sucks. Turned out to be a great story that isn't partisan in its exploration of issues. Well acted, well written.
I'm surprised to not see more talk of this show generally.

Are you meaning S2 or S1? This was hugely hyped and talked about for S1 as it was one of the first big Apple TV+ dramas.
I haven't watched S2 yet due to other shows being ahead on my list and the absence of one of the actresses from S1.
-
For the Sci-Fi fans, the two series currently available on Apple TV+, Invasion and of course, Foundation are definitely worth the watch.
But, be aware, both start out very slow and are your classic slow burners but IMO, both are excellent series and by mid-series, I was hooked on both.
I finished Foundation last night and it really left me wanting more, cannot wait to see season 2 never having read the series.
Invasion has two episodes remaining, ep. 9 drops tomorrow morning and Ep. 10 next Friday.
My advice, stick with them because they are worth it.

@roninwc I liked the look of Invasion but had seen many poor reviews, so was gonna wait until done and binge it.
