Absolutely agree, SoA is one of my favourite tv series I've ever watched. But Mayans for me just feels like a show made for the sake of it. Gave up after a few episodes as there doesn't seem any point to the series.

I'll have a look at SoA next ?

i finished Mayans last night and agree with the above. It is an OK show but it was a decent stocking filler. However, Sons of Anarchy is also one of my favourites and on a completely different level to this

Love Island Australia. Oof brutal. 3 minutes of my life I won't get back. Own fault for my curiosity thinking it might be interesting to have a wee look at the Aussie version for a laugh - 2018 series being screened on ITV2 given the UK version has not happened. But just too gruesome...yeuugh

For me SoA was great until the last series.

And yes, Mayans is not as good.

The Tunnel is top drawer, all three seasons. Stephen Dillane and Clemence Poesy are both fantastic in it.
Good series, lost a little bit towards the end of the final series (3). Especially when :censored: made that :censored:.....;)
I finished it last night. I thought the 3rd series was a bit rushed. There were fewer episodes and it showed. The usual character development wasn't there. Saying that I'd agree with need my wedge regarding the leads, superb. The only character I didn't like throughout was his wife, too whiney.

I won't say anything about what happened as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I would say though that it has been one of my favourite shows of recent years, don't know how I missed it first time around.

Im a bit slow as its a few years old now, however just binged all 3 seasons of The Detectorists. Very funny, well written and just nice easy comedy. 8/10.

Going to second this. Binged the 3 seasons, 30 mins an episode and finished last night. Very well written show, great characters, funny and hugely enjoyable. Simon and Garfunkel were brilliant, made even funnier by the fact that I know a German that is a spitting image of "Art" in looks, mannerisms and even the way he talks... :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. It's on demand via the SKY box, highly recommended.

I'll third that. Watched them when they came out, a work of understated genius in my opinion.
