Been watching a load of Brooklyn 99 recently. Never seen it before then saw a couple of re-runs on the tv at the gym so started from the beginning on Netflix. Really been enjoying it.

One of the best comedies ever for me. The episodes with 'Doug Judy' are tv gold. I envy you are starting from scratch. Enjoy.

Oh dear - I thought I might as well watch the final part of WotW - but as others have noted it just got worse, just tedious and very annoying - and so with ten mins of it to go, and as it was 10:30, i switched to watching MOTD. I forgot to go back and watch that last ten minutes. But I will as it’s only ten minutes and I can do that whilst doing some ironing and don’t have to really watch that carefully.

Just finished Giri/Haji and I thought it was wonderful. Set in Tokyo and London half of it is in Japanese so a lot is subtitled, stylishly filmed (it is a co production with the BBC and Netflix and you can tell some money has been spent on it) some shocking violence, lots of humour, great characters (Rodney the gay rent boy was a particular favorite) and 3 minutes of interpretive dance filmed in black and white in the finale. Can't recommend it enough, watch it on iPlayer if you missed it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/m0009dzp/girihaji

Enjoy the Halloween heists, they get better as the seasons go on.

I thought I had ten minutes of WotW left to watch. I hoped something would happen in the last ten. There was only three minutes - nothing happened and it just ended. Groan. That was grim. How could they have turned what is a great story into a turgid soap.

Final part of Seven Worlds, One Planet last night was awesome and upsetting in equal measures. If you haven't watched it and intend to - do - new ways to crack a nut and look after the kids when they are very little - just astonishing :)

And the final three words of the episode spoken by Attenborough ...very apt.

My 11yr old is really into it. And by that, the programme has done its job.

Vienna Blood. Should have been on a Sunday evening as it was classic Sunday evening crime drama. 3 episodes that bobbed along, beautiful setting in Vienna, good characters, gentle pace, little bit of politics of the day in the background. Easy watching and worthy of a second series.
