We found the first two series very compelling, powerful stuff. We gave up on the third quite quickly. He is one scary fella and Gillian Anderson exudes power. Great casting.

Jamie Dornan's Dad Jim was a (now retired) very well known and popular Obstetrician and Gynaecologist in Belfast, and as a medical student, I had him for my final exam in O&G. When I saw his name up alongside mine on the exam allocations, I cheered out loud. It was the equivalent of having 3 putts to win from 10 feet. For that reason alone, I like Jamie too.

I've watched the first five episodes of Last Man On Earth. They should have named it Most Cringeworthy Man on Earth. It is funny, but he gets worse every episode, I'm sure I'll be able to make it until the end.
Also watched the first 2 eps of the Spurs documentary on Amazon. Very interesting and enlightening so far. Interesting to see how Jose manages players, having heard all the rumours of him falling out with players over the years. I've always begrudgingly liked him though, long before he was our manager.
Oh, I also watched the first 2 eps of Detectorists after recommendations here. Must admit, quite dull so far, I'm not sure I'll even remember to carry on with that.

It's not bad, it's just not amazing either. It feels like something you just watch to fill time. I think a few of you on here bigged it up too much.

Go sit a corner and have a think about what you have just said.
When you are ready, please come back and rejoin the group.
After you apologize!!

What's so good about it? There's no belly laughs, just chuckles. A lot of it is fairly tragic actually so far.

I think its due to the ease of watching, the effortless story flow, the writing and casting is genius, the fact that it isn't huge belly laughs, but plenty of chuckles without being rude or crass or in your face, maybe it should have been released 20 years ago as not in your face or shocking enough.
But if we all agreed, it would be a dull place we live!

Started watching the Deceived on My5. Seems decent so far.

Just watched episode three and it was definitely an improvement - probably just a slow-burner (I figured it would be). I'll stick with it - on my own since the wife absolutely hated the first episode.

I've been watching Alias Smith and Jones from the beginning....1971.
Can that really have been 49 years ago?

Wow, that is a long time indeed. The first series had an actor in it who then died, and was replaced with a less interesting actor for the rest. It was a good premise for a show, though.
One of them then starred in a preposterously stupid but fun show called Gemini Man.
