Not sure if already mentioned.
But Severance is o for awesome. Dystopic sci-fi thriller sprinkled with black humour. 10/10.

@Bones I just started watching. That was my first episode too. Then the jail one. Nothing astounding but I will persevere. It's sort of well done and it was interesting to see the back story of some of the characters from the first (yellow) ep.

@Bovidae I was gonna wait to binge...it is right up my alley, I loves me an apocalyptic series, I have enjoyed a few of the game adaptions and Pascal is usually bloody good, so I'm going in knowing I will very likely watch the entire series, whether it is a 5/10 or not...plus, along with the hype, it seems be rated well, not that this usually matters.

I admire this man’s honesty.

Is anyone else watching The Last Of Us? I know nothing about the video game so this is all new to me. Plenty of hype around this show, and the first episode was promising.
Good first episode. I do worry that the whole “zombie, post apocalyptic” stuff has been done to death a bit though, I hope it can maintain momentum and continue to be awesome. The Walking Dead got a bit stupid towards the end there, I didn’t even bother with the last three or four seasons.
Pedro Pascal is a pretty cool cat and is an engaging lead guy, even without the helmet. He must be busy though as I’m fairly sure Mando season 3 has just wrapped up as well !

Pedro has the distinction of never rating below 89% on rotten tomatoes too for a TV series which is quite impressive
Enjoyed the second episode as well, good start to this series

To go all pedant for a bit, only if you exclude Book of Boba Fett, of which a big issue with that show, despite the fanbois loving it, was how much time was devoted to Mando.

I had a bit of experience of the video game mainly through YouTube, as it seemed interesting.
Gripping stuff. 15yo daughter enjoyed it, starting around the same level as I. Even Mrs TA who knows nothing about the games enjoyed it.
18yo son confirms it was very good as a replay of the game.

During a few rainy days over the holidays I must confess to playing through a few of the recent Resident Evil games on Youtube ( as opposed to giving into my sons and buying a PS5 ).
Will do the same with this one.

SAS Rogue Heroes. BBC 6 episodes. The story of how David Stirling formed the SAS during the Nth Africa Campaign in WW2.
Made by the guys who did Peaky Blinders.
Very entertaining. Good soundtrack. Well cast. 4.5 tonnes of sand in my orifice out of 5 don’t fuck with me’s
Finally watched it, had to do track it down old style. Was a fun action show. To my question about how factual it is, well it's a bit all over the show. Stirling seemed too competent, Mayne too crazy and working class, and that chick too made up.
They're making a season 2 set on what they did in Europe.

any watched "Walker"? the texas ranger remake?
##spoiler
will finish the 3rd season....but im not sure i like any of the characters....and "walker" seems to exclusively work on cases to do with his family...throw them all in jail and crime in austin is cut in half
##endspoilerI watched the first episode only due to seeing the police chick in the ads for it on Stan, but I didn't make it past that episode.

Edit - it might help if I give some concept of a plot. Shipping company loses passenger liner for four months. Another of their ships finds it, devoid of passengers. Strange shit happens.
Surely that would be an ideal Netflix title...
