Citadel - A kind of James Bond-type spy action series with a lot of shooting and fighting. It stars the lovely Priyanka Chopra Jonas which is worth coming back for

Watched all 3 episodes ( I think 3 more to produce). It was OK and agreed worth it to watch the Lady!!

I watched the first episode - still deciding whether to continue - may depend on what else is available to watch? (Not much else to be honest)!!

Last night I watch the first 3 episodes of the new Netflix Geopolitical drama series called the Diplomat starring Keri Russell.

I have to say that I'm not sure whether I think it's just okay or very good, not quite made my mind up on that yet.

What I will say is that Keri Russell is very very good in this role, and the production is very good.
Very good IMO. One hell of a cliffhanger at the end of season 1, and a whole year to wait for season 2. :cry:

Came across SAS Rogue Heroes which got a good rating on IMDB (who cares). It's about the formation of the British SAS, a 6 episode show. From what little I read on the subject it seems to be fairly accurate.

Let me know if I should give it another go

It picks up better and better IMHO. Yes #1 was slow but glad I watched it.

Mandalorian season 3.

All done and dusted, loved every minute. This is most definitely the way! My only complaint is that 8 episodes are not enough...

Oh absolutely - wish I'd spaced the episodes out a tad more...... Another year to wait for Season 4?

Had not heard of this one at all until a news report on the winners of the recent BAFTA Awards. In this case, Lenny Rush in "Am I Being Unreasonable?"

Lenny Rush a 13 year old actor (who suffers from dwarfism) stars as 8 year old Ollie in a 6 part comedy - well, an absolute nut-fest of a dark comedy in all fairness........ Daisy May Cooper who plays Nic, Ollie's mother is also superb and the pair work off each other wonderfully.

Hope to see a lot more of this show in the future.... Available on BBC iPlayer, so I'm sure also on the usual suspects to download.

I've just watched the first 2 episodes of SILO. An Apple TV series with 10 episodes, the first 3 available on eztv. Looks pretty good to me.
In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant underground silo that plunges hundreds of stories deep; there, people live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them.

I’ve recently started watching a BBC series called Ten Pound Poms, which was a government sponsored initiative in the early 50’s to encourage Brits to emigrate to Australia - for £10!!

Not the greatest series (so far up to ep 3) but it’s watchable and it does feature the very lovely Michelle Keegan and the not quite so lovely (but good actor) Warren Brown, as well as an Australian actor David Field who reminds me of Sid James!!

Have watched the first 2 and still haven't made my mind up..... Will give episode 3 a go, but there's that much to watch - oh decisions, decisions!!

Succession is compelling viewing. They're all so horrible! Yes, third series almost done now!
