I've just finished Top Boy Summer House which I'll give a 7.9/10. Going to start on the newer 2 series they made last year.

Has anybody seen the last of us series on HBO? I started watching it but stopped during episode 3. The problem I have is that I've completed the game 4 or 5 times. As the game and series kind of run parrarell I know what's going to happen next, where they are going and who the new characters are. This kind of took the shine of the series for me as not knowing is part of the enjoyment.

Also finished Bates Motel last month which is very dark indeed - 8.6/10

The Last of Us was a good watch (never played the game so all new to me).

Recently binged The Mayor of Kingstown which was also great, although I think it will be at an end owing to Jeremy Renner's accident.

Just finished Suits. Lightweight, formulaic but hugely enjoyable. Was thinking of trying Mad Men but have started Kiefer Sutherland's new series 'Rabbit Hole' which is strangely compelling.

Enjoyed Suits but it did drag on a touch too long.

I've finished "Spooks", but that was a while back, as was "The 100". I still need to see the last series of "Suits" for completeness, and I've missed out series 5, 6 and 8 of "24". I finished "True Blood", though I missed out a series as I couldn't find it cheap on DVD.

I think all these multi season efforts ultimately go on too long, don't they?

Final series of Brooklyn 99 recently came into Netflix and finished it last night. Will miss it as it’s great - now I’ve seen it all though I’ll add it to my easy-watching selection of stuff that never gets old and you can just dip in and out of with any random episode being fair game.

The Ozarks on Netflix, watched every episode, it's brutal and well worth staying with.

Finished watching Andor....forever. I hope to never hear the name again.
Its been put around for years that Gilroy was the reason Rogue one was good and he 'rescued' it. That been put to bed now after seeing the above dross.
Maybe suitably vindicated, Gareth Edwards has a new film out soon.

Unable to find much else, we have just watched Spooks - Series 9 (Lucas North goes Rogue) again.

The quality for a series that did not have the big budget of Netflix is excellent. The real craft is in the script-writing and quality of the acting.

However they should be suing the No Time to Die producers as Rami Malik’s masterplan was pretty much plagiarised from this Spooks.

Amazon have the DVDs for a princely £1.35.

Another thumbs up here for Ozark.

Gave up on Suits towards the end - nothing to do with Meghan, but the Mike character seemed to be doing neither one thing or the other.

Nearly finished Blacklist, still enjoying it.

It doesn't seem long since I finished Homeland, one of the best endings I can remember.

Spooks started out brilliantly, but tapered off at the end,

Anyone mentioned "Line of Duty" yet?

I thought the very end was great, though. It went exactly as I hoped it would.

Hustle is another one (from the same makers, Kudos) that I finished off, and another that had a similarity with the end of Spooks, if I recall correctly (that is, if the scene I remember was actually the end).
