Season 5-6 are worth watching, yes very american but interesting.

I'm enjoying Truth Seekers, 4 episodes in. Getting Inside No.9 vibes, that said I am a Frost/Pegg fan

Two episodes in. I think it’s very light/easy going. The scary level is “Nando’s Peri-peri mild”.

I’d give it a 6/10.

I’d agree a comfortable 6/10

Just finished it

Enjoyable silliness (lemon and herb) but not a spaced style classic.

3 Episodes in, and we're getting Dr-Who-back-when-it-was-real-Dr-Who-not-a-box-ticking-exercise vibes - family chills lite. And enjoying it.

Laughs. You should do reviews for a living!

Well season 1 wasn't great but it was watchable - noticeable decline in season 2 in terms of quality.
I will hang on for maybe season 4-6 as they appear well regarded and I recall watching bits of them back in the day.

I mean it was never brilliant I am sure but its easy watching time filler.

Loving the Americans, well OTT but I don’t mind that at all, so many episodes to watch that loads of other stuff has come out while Ive been binging it so plenty to see on lockdown too!

Didn’t get on with Truth Seekers, quite like most of their other stuff so might give it another go at some point.

[21st Century Man]

I've just been reading up on the true story of that, will watch the film/movie.

[dieselgrunt]

Just finished season 1 of Utopia (the English original). Brilliant, this one had completely passed me by.

I’m half way through Upload at the moment, really enjoying it, wasn’t sure to begin with but it’s a great satirical take on the future

And Nora.................she can be my angel any day :-0

Elvis & Nixon - film about Elvis meeting with Nixon to get himself a 'Special Agent at Large' badge. A true story, and made me smile, especially once it got to the Whitehouse. Thumbs up.

Thanks for that. It started off mildly amusing, quite whimsical, but when it got going it was hilarious.

i enjoyed this also, however the last few eps felt very different and like they did some sort of rewrite because they were given the green light for season 2 - overall a great series though

Jack Ryan; it’s like 24, but with Martin Freeman.

3 episodes in, does it get any better?

I didn't realise there was a new Jack Ryan series. The old one (2018) - Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (starring John Krasinski) - was rather good. They are asking us to believe Martin Freeman is a nerdish CIA action man?

Maybe need a parrot thrown at me, but what's Martin Freeman got to do with Jack Ryan?

Recommended, much better than it sounds. Great flying sequences, plenty of F14s and once you accept the premise far more intelligent and well plotted than Top Gun.

I really like time travel films and and really enjoyed this
