His name is written all over the final episode

Him and Tom with the eldest brother running the show I reckon.

That was fantastic, what an hour of telly.

I’m thinking he’s shoving a massive pole up Tom’s blow hole and roasting him gently on a spit. Metaphorically speaking of course. Top secret documents and all that. Funeral episode should be top drawer stuff

Mentioned a while ago "The Steeltown Murders". Finally coming on 15th May. Gene Hunt. Beltin'

"Ten Pound Poms" on the previous day should be interesting. Some of us got here for free 

First episode of Steeltown Murders done. Very good. Tempted to download on iPlayer and binge watch

Shame that Ten Pound Poms is as corny as flakes. Probably won't bother going any further with that. Drivel.

Ted Lasso. Done half the first series and it’s superb

The cafes and Bataclan were the same 3

A couple of others went to the stadium.

Kalashnikovs are an awful weapon to get hit with. Ripped bodies to pieces.

Available for $99.99 from your local corner store gun shop across the US of A  I guess.

Series one and two are fantastic, the third is leaving me a bit cold, but it's the last one.

The Christmas special is a belter.

Yep. Iplayer 

Ted Lasso

Why are the clubs “biggest fans” always watching home games in the pub next to the ground?

Ruining it for me, that.

It’s fiction! Anyway, trying Veep.

I know. But you’d think they’d at least put the “best fans” in the ground at least once.

Booooooo #LassoOut

Veep supposed to be excellent

Then again, many of our “top” fans support us on dodgy links, from home or the pub, perhaps it’s referencing that?

I don't think the Americans are that subtle.

I know it's just a device to enhance the overall plot, but it ruins it and I've written a withering letter to Apple TV about it.

Otherwise, it's pretty decent.

Veep is brilliant - that and the thick of it are pretty much on a loop round ours when we can't be arsed watching anything new.

Done the lot on iplayer. Nowt sensational about it just very good and worth a watch

Christ. I seem to have gone down a rabbit hole watching documentaries about Muricans and guns

11 minutes: America’s Deadliest Mass Shooting. That mon in Vegas firing automatic weapons at the country music festival from a room high up in The Mandalay. Like shooting fish in a barrel

Always remember it because my best mate and his Mrs were doing the dream driving across America holiday and had stopped in Vegas that night and were caught up in it

Kind of a tangent this but a while ago I watched this film called Elephant which was based on the Columbine massacre, its alright but arty.

Read more into it and the title came from another film called Elephant by Alan Clarke from 1989, a shortish TV film based on execution shootings during The Troubles. Found it proper unsettling it's just so bleak and completely unglamorous that it feels surreal, worth a watch but might want to watch some cartoons after.

Might be pretty well known to older audiences tbh. Ruined my day anyway!

Succession 

Brilliant. Again.

A Small Light 

Dust in the Eye at the End

It's good, but a few too many Americanisms in it.
