Enjing shooter. Will check out hip Hop ta.
Don't like that it's not the full season on there though. I tend to lose interest when it's like this sadly.

The first 4 episodes were fine for me as I didn't like much after the NWA period anyway

I tried Shooter but took it off my list in the end, the original film was ok but the series was just not doing it for me.
Same here, the film was good fun but lost interest in the series after half an hour. Cheesy, poor script and bad acting.

Finished Black Mirror.

episodes 1,2,3 very good.

4,5 not very good.

6 absolutely brilliant. Could have been a 6-parter on its own.
I just watched White Bear from season 2.

fk me that was disturbing.
I've watched Season 1 and season 3 so far (for some reason it jumped season 2) and have really enjoyed. A lot of the episodes are far better than the majority of cinema released films.

Something called "Pacific Heat" just popped up, Aussie Archer? Have a look at that tonight.
Meh. Bit dull.
A poor relation to Archer but has made me laugh a few times so far (3 episodes in). Quite shocked at the level of causal racism though, bit like watching a 70's sitcom at times and not really clever enough to be considered 'satirical'. It's had some horrendous reviews online also.

Really getting into Suits. It'll be a bit too cheesy and predictable for some but I've found it really easy watching and quite funny in places.

Finished the expanse last night. Not bad - looked fabulous on my new tv and the last couple of episodes held my attention much more than the earlier ones. I did find the woman playing Chrisjen extremely irritating for some reason though and wasn't convinced she added much value.

I thought that after episode 1, but the second was better and third better still. Not world class by any stretch, but good watching and improving.

Still liking Designated Survivor too.

Working my way through the "Irish" SL now and its woeful. Is it just a blip or does it pick up in following seasons?

I've given up on this, too slow and plodding.

Enjoyed The Crown more than I thought I would and now we're 2 episodes in to Glitch which seems pretty good so far.

It never gets back to the heights of the first couple of seasons, but it does get a lot better again.

Yeah season 3 is rubbish but stick with it as it does get better. Once you finish it give 'The Shield' a go.

I'd go one step further and suggest that nobody should be allowed to watch any TV ever again until they've watched The Shield smile.

Talking of which, good to see 'Billings' in the Shooter...

Just be aware that the first ep. of The Shield has FAR too much handheld camera movement - it sorts itself out when they realised people were being seasick.

Wait, The Shield is back on Netflix? I got nearly all the way through it about 18 months ago, only had 3 episodes remaining and it vanished without trace. Awesome TV, I know what I'll be watching tonight.

As someone with no interest in the Royals, I thought I'd give The Crown a go. Glad I did - very enjoyable, excellent cast, particularly Churchill.
