Any reason for the Millwall v Boro game kicking off at 3pm this arvo?

I'm gonna have to watch that too as @Mostyn6's recommendations are usually spot on.
Started season 6 of Bosch other night. You start each season wondering where it might go, and by the time the great music starts for the end of the episode, you are hooked again.

First season was brilliant. I think it lost its way a bit afterwards. Loved Jody Comer's accent, when you hear her normal Liverpool accent.

Yeah I really liked Informer. Felt pretty realistic for most of it too.

Really enjoying Perry Mason on Sky Atlantic.
Very different from the old one but well-acted and intriguing.

Finished series 1 of the Fargo anthology having got about 4 episodes in 3 or 4 years ago. Don't know why I abandoned it. Superb. Billy Bob Thornton is absolutely captivating as a psycho hitman and the supporting cast are all great once you get past Martin Freeman's accent.
I don't know who directed the episodes, but they've got the Coen Brothers touches nailed.
Series 2 took an episode and a half to get adjusted to but well into that now.

3 series of "The Americans" now done and dusted on Prime, 3 series to go.
Some episodes are lame, but some are really superb. Overall, pretty good - thanks, @Mostyn6

Finished the second season of Homecoming on Amazon Prime.
A bit like the first season, pretty good without hitting the heights.
Also there are only 7 episodes and they're not much more than half an hour each.
Started Informer that I was surprised being a BBC made cop/terrorist thriller series and set in London I hadn't heard of.
But looks like it wasn't on over here until Prime picked it up.
Two episodes in and very good.
Anybody seen it?

Fingers crosses Charlton get at least a point vs Cardiff. Results going well for us so far.

Sounds very tough for you @DarkFruitsRam7. You seem like a very decent and rational person so I'm sure you have made the best decision.

Had to do quite a difficult thing tonight.
I told my dad that I no longer want him in my life. I have very good reasons for doing so (I don't particularly want to divulge them on here), but quite tough nonetheless.
Not looking for sympathy or cheering up - just getting it out there. I'm going to watch some Only Fools and Horses to ease my mind a little.

Definitely.
Saul is a complex character, living in the shadow of his illustrious brother and just trying to survive on his wits and cunning.
Mike and Kim are great characters too.
I think overall I enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad.

Fire in Babylon is a brilliant documentary about the rise of the West Indies cricket team during the seventies and eighties.
You don’t need to like cricket. This is about a team sick to death of the know your place attitude which prevailed.
They became aggressive in their cricket and the rest of the world didn’t like it.
Watching batsmen without helmets being hit of the head and body, you wonder how no one got killed.
The interviews are electric, including contributions from Bunny Wailer. Bob Marley was an inspiration to the team.
If you want to see a competitor, Viv Richards owns the pitch when he’s on it. Terrifying!

That first season of Fargo... Billy Bob Thornton was incredible. Such a psycho. On the edge of my seat every time he was on screen.

Watched Sitting in limbo about the Windrush scandal on BBC.
Really good but not if you’re Theresa May or Amber Rudd.

Im currently watching The Handmade’s Tail. Riveting.

Why not give Fargo a go? both the film and the series. I can recommend both.

The Americans is pretty good for the real world/80s retro feel - and shares a sort of "good people doing bad things because they feel the ends justify the means" thing with Breaking Bad. Not quite such high end production values as BB though, so fewer majestic shots of rolling desert clouds etc

Well, that's Breaking Bad done and dusted. Absolutely superb and the person who said "It gets better and better" - you are so right.
So, what to watch next? I think the missus is keen on stuff like Spooks and anything John Le Carre inspired, so it might be The Americans for the next mega-binge watch. Any other suggestions? We have both Prime and Netflix.

4 episodes into season 3 of The Wire now. Bunk is easily one of the best characters, hilarious.

Right! Going to bite the bullet and give GoT another go. Didn't take to it at all but it keeps being recommended to me by pals so will try to approach it with a more open mind perhaps.
Seem to remember slating it on a thread on here as being nothing more than 'Tolkien with tits', which now that I think about it, ought to be right up my street ?

Thanks to those who recommended Giri / Haji. Superb series. Hopefully a second series is on the horizon.
For those that like slightly quirky, whimsical, simple and uplifting viewing, I thoroughly recommend Lodge 49. It's got it all!
I'll admit I hasn't seen seen The Wire Shield, Sopranos, Breaking Bad and all of those supposed all time greats. But for me - and me only - nothing will come close to Lodge 49, Cobra Kai (The original Karate Kid 30 years on) and Shine on Harvey Moon ?
The first has real heart.
The second I stumbled on and was blown away! A must for those who recall Daniel son.
The third.. Just threw it in. Just remember the the theme tune back in the day hehe

Currently being subjected to Hey Duggee which my 4 month old seems to like. This is my future for the next few years isnt it.

Just finished watching Giri/Haji. Outstanding series that just got better and better.
