If you enjoy Gomorrah (as I did), I recommend you also watch Subarra, Blood on Rome. I don’t think it quite reaches the heights of Gomorrah but still an excellent series IMO.

Or alternatively, The Hunter, which I think is still available on All4 - it's relevant to current news because it's based on the memoirs of the Anti-Mafia prosecutor responsible for breaking up the branch of the Cosa Nostra led by the Boss they finally captured in hiding last week.

Adding my +1 for Early Doors, started my rewatch on Saturday night and I think it’s better than I remember, the characters are a lot more nuanced aside Phil and Nige.

Agree - it's written in a way that is just warm and affectionate. You end up liking every character, and you don't laugh at any of them. So clever...

The Bear.

Brilliant.

Took me a month, but watched this now and I concur - it's really good

Talented but troubled chef in Chicago inherits a rough and ready sandwich restaurant when his brother commits suicide. I put off trying it as the synopsis sounds quite dull, but it's funny, moving, well acted, great script and great characters. Give it a go - it's on Disney+

Started to watch the Hunter and it looks promising but OMG All4, the adverts will drive me insane. And i'm not paying a subscription!

Not sure what device you are watching it through, but I noticed that if I watch All4 via the app on my SmartTV, it shows ALL the adverts, but if I watch it via the app on my Virgin Media Tivo - it doesn't show any adverts. I guess the ad-free version is baked into my Virgin TV package

Kleo (Netflix)

Set around the fall of the Berlin wall, Kleo is a Stasi assassin hell-bent on seeking revenge for her being imprisoned.

Deliciously dark comedy.

It's like a German version of Killing Eve in many ways, isn't it?

Ahh, okay.  I was watching on the smart tv app.  Got a fire stick so might try the app on that.

Second series of Mayor of Kingstown on Paramount is every bit as absorbing as series one. Great stuff!

Ah, glad a few others like it. I loved the first series and am waiting until I can grab the whole show and binge watch it with pizza and beers, preferably when the other half is at here parents ?

BTW, Jeremy Renner broke over 30 bones in that snowplough accident. Sounds horrific, but out of danger and mending well apparently.

6500kg snowplough - very lucky he wasn't killed.....
