First episode of Loki. Seems promising so far, more build up and exposition in the first episode in contrast to Falcon and Winter Soldier which hit the ground running with a big action set piece

watched Jimmy McGovern's 3-part prison drama Time last night, with superb performances from Sean Bean and Stephen Graham. Nothing sentimental, rushed or exagerated just honest and realistic issues and situations that can affect normal people if they are unlucky or make bad choices.
Really enjoyed the first one. Just watched 'In plain sight' which I thought was OK.

The Falcon start was like the beginning of a Bond movie in XXL.

Not sure yet what to think about Loki. But it’s an ‘easier’ entry than WandaVision so far.

Finished S2 of westworld last night and I'm so confused I don't think I'll bother with s3.
If some kind soul has watched and could explain it to be I'd be eternally grateful.

I think the script writers must have been in lsd or some other mind bending drugs.

Breeders - just finished the 2nd series. Very funny and also very poignant - especially the final couple of episodes.

Tried the first one and not overly impressed; the gratuitous swearing is off-putting (and I love Billy Connolly, so no issue with swearing per se) and it feels like one of those where all the best gags are in the trailers & the rest is filler. we will see (or maybe we won't... :unsure:)

Series 3 was an absolute bag of rubbish so don't bother with that. Sadly it disappeared up itself, even further than it did in s2.

Best not to look too deeply into the sub plots. I just enjoyed the different worlds in series 2, samurai world was my favourite.

There is a lot of swearing but I think it's to set the characters personalities (especially the father). It's one of those "comedies" where it's not always funny but sometimes moving and/or slightly disturbing! I've really enjoyed them - enough that when I miss a single line I rewind!

Thanks LT, I'll definitely give it a miss, will have a look on Netflix for something new.

@spongebob59 the Delores character just spouted ridiculous philosophy in s3, everything became confused, convoluted and very dull. They left the park and it lost it's way horribly. A real shame as I thought series 1 was superb.

I think all of us are constantly on the look out for the next series to watch.

Watched S1 of Westworld and gave up. I don't mind the violence or language, but like many other shows, it lost something by being turned up to 11 so much. It could have been more menacing and unsettling if it played it down a bit.
