The Stand (2020). An odd final episode09 which left the door open for a further series. I recall watching another Stephen King series, Under the Dome, and it just went ridiculous after the first season - nothing like the book at all (which was great) and I stopped watching. I only hope they don't go too far off the theme of The Stand, but I fear it'll end up bollocks as always with these sort of US TV shows. As for the first series of The Stand, it was pretty good overall. Some of the actor choices were odd and the scale of the apocalypse just didn't feel right - unlike the book and the original 1994 miniseries. 7/10.

The Haunting Of Bly Manor

bit disappointing as it just wasn't scary enough and the attempt to bring up to date was not convincing. A bit of a mess , would have benefited from less episodes. Not a patch on The Haunting Of Hill House which is one of my favourite things on Netflix.

To the Lake - A Russian plague-like drama. It's quite good and a decent change from TWD/FTWD. But someone please tell me that Russian men are not like these guys in this show.

Just finished watching Picard on DVD. I enjoyed this and will be looking forward to season 2. I'm also in the middle of season 2 of the 2004 reboot of Battlestar Galactica.

Mirzapur Season 2

enjoyed this almost as much as Season 1. Its a very over the top ultra violent Indian gangster drama made with great energy and a top notch cast. Never a boring moment. Hopefully S3 will happen at some point.

Not finished watching...but recently discovered.

Mock the Week.
A UK panel style comedy show that loosely bases it's comedy on current and past events.
Found it while doing searches for comedies on YouTube. We watch excerpts from past episodes while we prepare dinner. Sometimes the accents get a little thick and we miss what was said but for the most part it can be hilarious. I just found season 1 episode 1 and lo and behold I see the great John Oliver as one of the comedians. After 19 seasons there is still lots of laughs to be had.

Anyone know of any other english speaking shows along these lines?

^ HBO I think.

Just started on A Discovery of Witches. I wasn't expecting too much tbh, but it's pretty good. Second season has just aired too.

I only managed 5 minutes so you did better than I did LOL

Sounds interesting. Who produces it?

Yep that was excellent and should have continued.

Just about the only streaming platform I don't have is Disney +. It does look very interesting going by the trailers.

I grew tired of Dexter, have yet to watch the last season. It was brilliant when it first came out though but then it all became a little formulaic and his sister used to drive me spare.

^Watched it for the first time several month's ago at my wife's behest.
Much better than I expected it to be, even it did get darker as the seasons went on.

one of my favourite shows of all time. Thumbs Up

Michael C Hall of course went on to do Dexter , a show that apparently is being primed for a return.

The Outsider - Started very strongly, then just drifted off to an average climax. Based on the Stephen King book no less. Jason Bateman appears and directs the first 2 episodes.

I think it would have worked better as self contained 'Limited Series' offering with less episodes. It was compared to the Netflix show The Stranger which in some respects was much better.

One of my fav shows, I really need to watch it again too!

David Tenant absolutely nails 80's Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen.
Three 45 min. episodes for a tight little mini series.
Great Brit Drama.

Absolutely agree. One of the best shows I’ve watched in a while.
