Just started watching Lincoln Rhymes
It’s about as tense as standing on the tee in the midweek stapleford.
Hopefully it improves

Assuming it is based on the Jeffrey Deaver novels about a detective on a wheelchair then the books are usually good value. But they do rely a lot on chapters usually ending with things looking bleak but it's all OK by the start of the next chapter as Rhyme had figured things out without you knowing he had.

Finished Gangs Of London last night, the first 4 episodes were great, for me it went a bit downhill after that.
So many plot holes and wtf is going ok moments.
How are a private army driving around London with machine guns on show without even a second look from passers by.
Why were there not any calls to the police when the flower warehouse got shot down, it was next to a busy road and had houses behind it.
Every time you think you're close to finding out who the top man is, they introduce yet another level on top.

Mad a tell thi.
Yep, thought it got silly. The whole mercenary thing was nonsense.

Watched the second series of Sunderland till I die - a great insight into running a football club. Thoroughly enjoyed the drama, particularly the last few hours of the january transfer window. My wife who is not a football fan, was enthralled. Watched the 6 episodes over 2 nights. Great enterainment.

i thought Spurs fans were delusional until I watched this lol

The Leeds one on Amazon prime is ok too, albeit Id like to see this seasons!!!!!!

Afterlife is brilliant again - one more episode to go.

Watched all of Money Heist - 8.5 rating on IMDB and some recommendations. This is the most over-rated rating eveer. While it has some merit and was a good start and permise, the script has more holes than a sieve and the characters are awful. Not sure why i stuck with it

ah theres my answer lol, in the bin it goes

The Last Dance on Netflix. Never been a big basketball fan, but this is top notch viewing. Also enjoying Gary Neville’s Soccerbox despite not really liking him or Man Utd. The Match of the Day top 10’s with Lineker, Shearer and Wright have been pretty good too. They’re fairly candid with some of their stories. So managing to get some of my sports fix.

Last year, whilst in recovery from an accident, I pigged out watching the car related stuff... Wheeler dealers, Top Gear, S.O.S. etc... This year I've taken to watching Drew Pritchard on Salvage Hunters... Can't fathom why other than it's not a testing watch... Nev the blacksmith is absolutely brilliant ?...

We finished Twins. Thought it excellent though perhaps a little far-fetched. But I was willing to suspend my slight incredulity. The ending. Well yes - OK. But I guess it's been left open enough for a further series.

Now thinking about starting on The Medici's (three series). Anyone watched?

If you do watch it let me know what you think, I love that period of history an have an absolute fascination with the Medici, Florentine and Italian history in general.

Just watched After Life series 2 episodes 1-3. Bit disappointed actually. Still good but not quite as funny as the first series I didn't think. Still, episodes 4-6 have better ratings so I'm sure it picks up again. Will watch the rest later this week.
