In meantime will attempt to watch S1 & 2 again as it been a while

Seriously screwed up people sometimes, not always, make for good entertainment.

But the production/acting are outstanding

If the writers can sustain the excellent storyline for a couple of more seasons I would put Succession up there with Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad etc.. :cheers:
Literally just finished Season 3

I don't think I quite enjoyed it as much as the first two....

However, overall it would still walk into my top 5 all time drama series

I hope really there's a fourth season

Thanks for the good news!

I'm not sure why S3 didn't quite hit the bullseye with me, felt it drifted a bit from week to week. But very good powerful ending left you wanting more

The Direction and Production(especially Cinematography) is absolutely top notch. Acting is superb too. Just the script wavered a bit but certainly got there in the end!

Yellowstone is a series in America, third season almost over. It's about a family that owns the biggest ranch in Montana. Kevin Costner is the patriarch.

Following on it's heels is 1883 a prequel to the series since it has been so popular. Only 2 episodes into the first season (with the third tomorrow).

Both available at regular download sites.

Should this be in the series(rather than movies) thread?

Thanks for the reminder migrant - Yellowstone is one I started watching a while back, but lost track of. Downloading series 1-3 now. :thumb:

Another series I'm currently watching on Netflix, is "Frontier" starring Jason Mamoa - enjoying it so far: -

I'm not really a mega Star Wars fan (though I did enjoy a little binge getting through some of the movies recently) but I know there's many on the forum.

New series started on Disney, The Book of Boba Fett.

One of my favourite Christmas presents (unlike the Team Santa pjs made by Santa's elves and the Aldi Christmas onesie...) was these Mandalorian lounge pants.

I wonder what Forum members could suggest to finish that phrase - must admit, I have one or two suggestions of my own........ Perhaps we should start a Poll! :wink: :D

Just completed the 5th and final series of Gomorrah.

Firstly want to say that noone was a bigger fan of this series to date than me. Would be in my top 3 all time!

For those not familiar with it it's the story of power struggles amongst the drug mafia underworld(the Camorra) in Naples, Italy.

However, I found this final series to be a tad disappointing and I couldn't help feeling that they had just made one series too many.

That was just my view, how did others feel about it?

Season 3 of Ricky Gervais' After Life is hitting Netflix in 2 weeks.

:dance: :dance: :dance:

The most watched British series of the past decade. A series that can make you cry with laughter or sometimes just cry. Love it.

I’ve not watched Ricky Gervais since his days in The Office - having just watched that clip, personally, I don’t think I’ll be watching him again!!

He's not for everyone, that's for sure. His rampant success suggests he's more loved than hated mind. His series 'After Life' has been viewed over 100 million times. Brilliant drama/dark comedy.

His new stand-up, Supernature, was the biggest comedy tour in the world for 2021. £30 million in ticket sales.

Guess it's pretty obvious I'm a huge fan. :thumb:

Just to further big-up my main man Ricky, these are the kind of crowds he's pulling in at the minute. One man. :thumb:
