Just finished 'Unbelievable' on Netflix. 1 series, 8 episodes. Deals with the difficult subject of rape.

Very good production, acting, script, all good

/\ I can second that. A really well scripted series.

The White Lotus

Can't speak from experience yet as I'm just downloading it. I'm hard to please when it comes to comedy but this looks promising.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-58254855
HBO's latest comedy-drama series The White Lotus has received rave reviews from critics.

The show, which began in the UK this week after a successful US run, focuses on the entitled guests and exhausted staff at a luxurious hotel in Hawaii.

"This nightmarish vision of paradise is the comedy of the year," said The Independent in a five-star review.

The Telegraph added: "Even though White Lotus is the hotel from hell, you'll want to check in for the duration."

The series is created, written and directed by Mike White, whose previous film and TV credits include Pitch Perfect 3, Beatriz at Dinner, The Emoji Movie and School of Rock.

I'm enjoying it and it's been renewed for a 2nd season with a new batch of guests :cheers:

Foundation

I recently downloaded Asimov's Foundation books to reread after God knows how long. I've just come across this potential gem due for release on 24 September on Apple TV. It stars the excellent Jared Harris (son of Richard). God, I hope it's not a disappointment...

Will be keeping an eye out for that one.

The epic Britannia is due for a third season starting on Aug. 24. Time to dust off that Donovan album ...

Looks like you can get the whole season here: https://eztv.re/search/?q1=britannia&q2=2633

Edit: maybe dodgy since only EP1 has been aired yet!

This looks good - starting tomorrow on BBC iPlayer, so will no doubt be available to download on the usual suspects shortly after...
