Watching the 2nd season of Brassic and chuckling and sniggering away at it. Easily as funny as the first series.

Has Now Found His Wedgie
Finished Season 2 of AfterLife, thoroughly enjoyed it. Cringeworthy at times, some excellent characters, although fast gone off Paul Kaye's psychiatrist.

Yeah, I've still only watched 1-3 of series 2, but they really ruined his character. In the first series he was a terrible psychiatrist, but still within the realms of believability. The second series version would never be still working if that was how he conducted himself.

Yeah was a puzzler that, they completely changed his character in the 2nd series, the scenes with him in were a bit of a waste of time.

Started on S2 of Gomorrah... Have to watch it in my cave as she has no interest and the lad can't be asked with subs... Moves along at a good pace and, for me, the subs are well enough done to keep track of the plotlines...

Currently watching Deep Water on Netflix. Aussie detective drama, it's OK, but the main character is a bit annoying to me, only 4 episodes though, so can live with it. Have watched a number of Aussie detective drama's on Netflix recently. Something that stands out is that all the senior officers appear to be massively sexist. I don't know if that's a real reflection on the police in Oz these days, or written in for the story, but it's becoming a theme for them.
On a plus note, BorderTown the programme at the top of my to watch list has a new season dropping today @Lord Tyrion.

I'll go against popular opinion. His character is keeping me interested as the rest is just, errr, "nice". I feel like I'm watching snippets of Notting Hill, Four Weddings, etc. Each to their own. ?

Caught up with last night's WDW, first first time since I've been watching all of the series, I wasn't overly impressed with a lot of it. Ant was playing up to much to the I'm a big hard man DBS, know better than everyone else & being the ultimate man's man! I have much more appreciation for Billy, Ollie & Foxy in that they know they can do the job, get on do it and treat the recruits how SF trainers really would treat them harshly but fairly & like adults. Ant last night was just trying to be a classic drill sergeant bellowing out orders and belittling. To much focus on Brendan Cole as well as in what henwas bad at and saying how terrible he was from the moment he picked up Bellew, yes he could have shown more grit but again Ant aas just being the big man in mirror room to break him, whereas Billy sat back asked only one question to which Cole melted to and was honest..
Was impressed to be fair and those on Social media saying how Ant would've taken Bellew out when they squared off clearly think all SF soldiers are supermen and invincible, they're not at all if Bellew had really wanted to land one on Ant he would have and the guy wouldn't be getting up quickly.
And rant over ?

Gangs of London, the fight scenes are really well scripted, plot's a bit far fetched.

Giving After Life a crack - couple of laugh out loud lines so will stick with it.
Really enjoying Miami Vice - on to the 2nd series now.

Finished After Life. It was "nice". Swearing was more in-line with Rise of the Foot Soldier - Marbella

We have Netflix but don't watch it anywhere near as much as we should/could. I've got so much stuff in My List to watch. The issue is changing the source on the TV to Netflix and selecting it etc. Not a lot of faff but enough. Plus anything on reminder on normal TV doesn't remind over Netflix.
Am I making sense??
Is there a way of setting Netflix as just another TV Channel?

It can be a bit annoying, I click internet on the remote then scroll down to " more " press ok, then scroll up and across to Netflix and press ok again.
If there's some kind of short cut it would be handy

I don't think there is I'm afraid. My FiL bought a new LG tv last year and that has separate Amazon and Netflix buttons actually on the remote to take you straight to them. Seems a bit extreme to buy a new tv just for that though ?

Only other way to do it is to go to Virgin Media. They have both Netflix and Amazon as ordinary channels on their TV box.

I also have a Netflix button on my remote but I access Netflix and Amazon prime through a 4K fire stick as the quality is much better. I just change the input source from my TV remote and off we go.
Interesting that when we cast to the TV the picture is better than the built in option. I don't know enough to understand why but you obviously find the same as well.
Amanda is trying to avoid pressing the input button I think, looking for a short cut trick on her remote. You can do that on a keyboard but not, as far as I can tell, on a TV remote.
