I’d like to watch Lucifer but cannot get my head around why the new season is season 4, yet, Netflix aired season 5 first?.

?? New season is Season 5, part 2.

8 episodes last year (part 1), 8 episodes this year (part 2).

Season 4 was the first one Netflix commissioned - ran back in 2019. Seasons 1,2 & 3 on Amazon Prime before that.

Love that, just finished series one with series two to go.

I understand that there are five series in all but only two on netflix. Question is, where to watch S3 to 5 in the UK?

I'm fairly certain they're on Sky box-sets.... I just kinda prefer NetFlix subtitles (thanks to the Mrs I've gotten used to having them on)

Finished Giri/Haji. Bloody brilliant and why they didn't expand on it into a season two I don't know. So much more could have been done with it. Huge waste to not get a second season.
Although I'm happy to forget the interpretive dance sequence in the finale. Just strange, although I understood it's meaning it really seemed out of place.

We have only just discovered it's always sunny in Philadelphia. Great for binge watching.

In for a treat.

See also Modern Family, Arrested development, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec.

Thoughts on Sweet Tooth?

New post apocalyptic tale based on a comic book series - produced by Robert Downey jr.

Looks promising.

Agreed. Thought this was fabulous and very disappointed there isn't a another season.

It’s, sweet. If a little predictable/formulaic. But I feel sour. I don’t like getting caught up in things not knowing there’s a conclusion. And in particular fairytale fantasy. Think True Blood - loved this for the first few series, then went totally OTT and just flopped.
I thought this was a one off series. Wouldn’t have watched if I’d known, especially as no confirmation of S2. It’s cute kids/family stuff.

On becoming a god in central Florida.

Kirsten Dunst in a black comedy about multi level marketing in working class Florida.
Watched the first two and am enjoying it a lot.
Kirsten Dunst is very appealing which is something I'd never noticed before.

Unforgotten - never see it, series 1 - wow

The Outpost a film about a battle in the Afgan war, did not have high hopes for it but was very pleasantly surprised well worth watching.
