Do you get John Oliver's show, Last Week Tonight?
It wins an Emmy Award every year.

I only see him when he is on The Late Show - I do like Stephen Colbert. Oliver is for me just a little bit too smugly and knowingly 'British-amusing' for my taste. Much prefer Colbert. Jimmy Kimmel I quite like - but not a great fan of Jon Stewart.
On the political side of things I think my fave is like Rachel Maddow - love the analysis she does, but a lot of the US politicals on CNN and MSNBC are good - Cooper, Tapper, Lemon, O'Donnell. On Fox Sean Hannity is good for a despair...as is Judge Jeanine (mental)

Flesh and Blood on ITV. An interesting first couple of episodes. Standard fare that the boyfriend is being portrayed as being a gold digger. I really hope he isn't and he's above board as the three kids really irritate me with how they seem to just want their mum to stay cooped up in that house waiting to pass away rather than actually enjoying her life. They all seem rather feckless and irresponsible in their own ways too and only seem interested in money.
The neighbour looks rather dodgy though.

We watched Ep1 last night...well Mrs Hogie wanted to watch and I thought I'd best not disappear off. I wondered to her part way through whether it is going to be like Gold Digger (which she watched last year - I didn't watch it through as I got fed up with it during 2nd episode). Let's see.
Disappointed by the last episode, particularly the ending, of Endeavour. I've always enjoyed it but this series was very formulaic and the ending was plain daft, no spoiler there. If they do another series I hope they up their game again.

Seems a bit too obvious after watching Ep 1, hopefully some unexpected twists to come.

Watched the first 2 Episodes of the new Series of Better Call Saul. Good watching but I cannot help but feel that it gets a little less interesting the nearer it gets to Breaking Bad. Still really enjoying Picard on Amazon Prime as well.
As someone else mentioned, good to see Masterchef back, been a fan of this for years.

I am on season 5. Guess I found the story of how he became Saul Goodman and the earlier family dynamics a bit more interesting than now he has become the character that we already know. Not saying it is bad in any way, enjoyed the first 2 episodes (that is all that is out until next week) but just found the earlier development more interesting than now he has become the sleazy lawyer (though the non flashback elements are starting to get more interesting).
we watched the whole thing over the weekend, only thing that i didn't like was the guy from "how i met your mother" he was even more annoying it this

We will start Better Call Saul tonight I think. Have watched all series so far but do find them very slow. Could do with shorter length episodes for me.

I'm waiting until mid march, they are only drip feeding 1 episode a week. I don't do waiting for the next episode, so wont start until they are all available!

If it's the guy with the beard I 100% agree, some bits are quite cartoonish but over all im enjoying it so far, 2 eps to gowe watched the whole thing over the weekend, only thing that i didn't like was the guy from "how i met your mother" he was even more annoying it this
no the bloke with beard is Al Pacino, it the bloke with the Tash and Taxi driver specs keeps crapping on about being a star.

Watched the Holocaust Denial program by Baddiel. Awful. A truly evocative topic but ruined by his interview technique and one sided approach to it. Expose holocaust denial for what it is, which isn’t a chance for Baddiel to vent his spleen.

Still got the last one to watch. But up to yet they seem to be a bit confused over whether they should have separate contained episodes like Death in Paradise or one story running over several episodes like Shetland. They seem to be caught in the middle a bit. I know they have carried one thread over several episodes before but this series seems a lot more disjointed.
