Netflix - What gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS) (Vol. 2)
Discussion
An update on Resident Alien.
The first five episodes set up a great sitcom setting.......which is then discarded, but most of the rest of the season is still highly entertaining and with a plot.
S2 meanders along so far with no plot and no sitcom setting and few laughs. Netflix also only seems to have S1 & S2 of a 4 season show.

It started off really well but for me went downhill after s2 and hasn’t aged well. The first five episodes set up a great sitcom setting.......which is then discarded, but most of the rest of the season is still highly entertaining and with a plot.

Your experience though mirrors mine
I don't think I ever went back to it after s2
Certainly never finished it
It lost something, I felt it went from it's roots to tackle bigger and bigger things that were just not funny, and could never get back it's charm

SNATCH - The Series
Didn't even know this was in the pipeline - I'm a few episodes in - good cast, plenty of familiar faces... but... it just seems like Skins, but a bit naughty.
Never like these spin-off type of things (although The Gentleman seemed to work rather well).
I watched it when it was on TV (the strip club was filmed inside Len Goodmans ballroom which I used to go past in the way to school every day, when filming they changed the signs outside I got rather excitedDidn't even know this was in the pipeline - I'm a few episodes in - good cast, plenty of familiar faces... but... it just seems like Skins, but a bit naughty.

)It's a poor imitation of the film but at the time it was watchable. I agree The Gentleman does it better now.
Also confirmed second seasons of Wednesday, A Man On The Inside and Fubar

Pretty sure the the 2nd season of Wednesday was announced before the first had even finished airing.Also confirmed second seasons of Wednesday, A Man On The Inside and Fubar
I've just started Adolescence - a 4 parter.
Amazing review (5* ) in the Guardian. I avoided any proper info, but with Stephen Graham as a lead actor, and producer I didn't need much persuading.
First episode is totally immersive. It was police procedural - but I don't think we'll be seeing car chases. All psychological, taut, emotional. Actors who play the lead detective and the boy hold their own with Steven Graham.
I'm totally invested.

Black Mirror season 7 April 10th
Not sure if it's just the way the trailer is edited but I got the impression there's a common thread through all the episodes. I hope not anyway, it's supposed to be totally seperate stories with subtle nods at best. It's been a series of diminishing returns unfortunately for a bit now, not sure all the new talent will change anything unless the writing vastly improves.
