Tales from the Loop.

I put it in my watch list a while ago but hadn't gotten around to it. Somehow come across some articles about the artist behind it - https://www.simonstalenhag.se - and this has spurred me on to prioritise the watching of it.

I like his artwork, but found this programme really dull.

Just started watching The Infidel, with Omid Djalili, as a Muslim wo finds out he was adopted, and is actually Jewish. It also stars Richard Schiff, from the West Wing. Looks promising

I really liked this, watched it years ago and found it very funny. Never watched it since but I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest!

Just read the lead is the granddaughter of Elvis. She's good.

Same here although I do think Sam Clafin looks older when he's supposed to be younger if you see what I mean !

I’m enjoying Casual at the moment.

It’s from 2015 so many here may have watched it before - comedy about a bachelor brother and his newly divorced sister living under one roof again and helping each other through the dating scene.

Another positive recommendation for Southland. Although it’s over 10 years old, it feels very relevant for today. I’m binging 2 episodes per day and into Series 3. Interesting spotting a few actors in the earlier part of their careers.
With regard to The Consultant, didn’t get it at all and found it all rather tedious, so gave up after about 4 episodes.

Really enjoyed that despite reservations after episode one.
I’m glad I stuck with it.

Same, I never really thought it would be my cup of tea, but I surprisingly enjoyed it and it was really well acted.

We thought Daisy Jones & the Six was really quite excellent. Final episode is something else. Found out last night that Billy Dunne is a Brit. And so is the bass player. From Chester in fact.

Casual is fantastic. Very underrated.
