I have watched the first three episodes of Picard and am quite enjoying it so far.

Just got round to watching the final episode of white house farm. Really wish I hadn't bothered. For such an interesting story they've done an awful job of adapting it to the screen.

Just started watching it. Surely they could have done the whole story in 2-3 episodes without dragging it out

Honest opinion would have been 3 episodes max or have made it a feature length 2 hr drama with like Vera. Dragging it out over 6 episodes did nothing but add a lot of unnecessary scenes and made a tragic story seem rather boring. The terrible acting of some didn't help either. When you have actors like Stephen Graham, Mark Addy and Alfie Allen, all guys that have been in major blockbuster series yiu should have a recipe for good tv but it really didn't work.

Definitely didn't work and a feature 2 hour would have worked well. The acting looks wooden and the script is terrible. Definitely over-rated and over-hyped and was looking forward to finally getting to watch it and a real let down

Been watching Ottoman : Rise of an Empire on Netflix
4/6 episodes in, really enjoying it, mix of factual and drama.
You can see where Game of Thrones got some of their inspiration from!!!

Watched the whole series of After Life over the weekend (three eps Friday and three last night). It's very good. 'Rollercoaster' is a cliché these days, but there was a full range from hilarious to heartbreaking in there, often within minutes of each other. Gervais went really close to the bone on depression in a way I've not really seen before, especially in what is essentially a comedy. And I also think his acting has come on leaps and bounds, I never thought of him as a great actor, but he was very believable in the darker scenes as well as the lighter ones. If I had to criticise it there were a few repeated Gervaisisms, like the joke about the 90 year old being 'scarred for life' which I'm sure was in his stand-up routine about 15 years ago - and the digs at religion which he always seems to get in (although given the subject matter I suppose it was appropriate to touch upon). But it was still exceptional writing I think.

Looking forward to watching Ep7 of The Outsider this evening...
btw - @Orikoru thoughts about After Life are for me absolutely bang on the money. I liked the little nod to The Office when in the office of the newspaper he works for. Just thinking of The Office made me smile.

Anyone know what the heck went on in The Pale Horse last night? I'm none the wiser

Watched all of White House Farm... And, aside from it being way too long was left feeling concerned that was the police investigation as slapdash/inadequate as portrayed... Quite frightening if it was the case...

Have been getting round to watching some of the series that passed me by previously... Completed first series of Narcos [Netflix] and will most likely continue... Completed first series of Westworld [SyFy] and most likely not bother going further... Crashed and burned with Sopranos and GoT [Blu-ray] really can't get into them... Might try again, next winter, as the Blu-rays were part of my retirement gift and feel bad about not viewing them fully...

Being a Nicola Walker fan watched all 6 episodes of The Split on iplayer. A very enjoyable watch and some great ‘power dressing’ by the ladies.

Didnt see it but i can easily believe that. As the years go on it seems less and less people really understand what the commonwealth is or which countries are part of it.

Glad we are fans of The Chase... Some good/knowledgeable contestants today...
Or any year. It's not as though there have been many changes in the last 50 or so years.

Watching the Stranger on Netflix at the moment. Really enjoying it. Through 6 out of 8 episodes and, unlike many series, havent found that it feels dragged out.
