I will if you will. I'm not bingeing on anything else at the moment.

(EDIT: I will anyway, downloading now...]

I’ve just watched the first episode of a new drama on BBC called Gold based on the Brinks Mat Gold Bullion robbery in 1983 - at the time the biggest robbery in the world. I’d classify it as a 5* programme and very much worth watching.

Yep, that's been on my list for a bit. Not started watching yet, but one that looks very good and one I'm looking forward to!!

Can't wait!

One of the very best shows on TV last 3 or 4 years. I really enjoyed watching S1&2 again before I watched S3. Anything that Adam Mckay does is top quality.

However, it may seem odd to say this but whilst many people think it's brilliant(including myself) I can totally see why others wouldn't like it.

I've just finished this 6 episode drama

I started about 8pm last night and almost did all six, it's that bingeable!

Watched ep 6 just now. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know about 5* but it's certainly very good and should be high on ones 'to watch' list

For me it's a highly recommended 8.5/10

It depends on how you equate * to points - my interpretation is that a 5* is a programme not to be missed, 4* is definitely worth watching, 3* is I’ve seen better but not bad, 2* is if you’ve got nothing else to watch, then it might pass an hour or two, 1* - I did warn you not to waste your time!! :cheers:

I watched a couple of episodes a while back, but it didn't grab me. Perhaps I should give it another try...

First time I watched Succession(Season 1) I distinctly recall almost binning it halfway through ep 2. Why? Because the main characters(the family) were all so utterly dislikeable!

But it turned out that their dysfunctionality, aligned with brilliant script writing and superb cinematography made this show simply unmissable(a 5* DB rating in my book).

Like a fine wine it gets better and better. I also nearly binned it.

Happy Valley: Watched the 1st Episode of SEASON 1 - whilst certainly not 5* at the moment (plenty to go yet), it's not half bad either and I will continue!! :thumb:
