Great start to this but the ending was a bit disappointing for me. Still think it had plenty left in the plot. In fact, couldn't believe no.4 was the last one.

Couldn't agree more , Tommy. Utterly brilliant all the way through but suddenly it ended when it could have taken a couple of more episodes with a few more twists.

Really enjoying His Dark Materials after three episodes TBH. Mrs Coulter has grown on me and the production values are great. May help that it was long enough ago I read the books that I’ve forgotten most of the detail.
Just been introduced to Dirk Gently on Netflix and am enjoying that a lot. Not new though.

a fair amount of the 'detail' appears to be new, in order to tell the story in the way that they are doing on screen (i.e. 3 books at the same time) - unless I've forgotten most of it, too

Watchmen.
after the terrible film where they completely devalued the comic phenomenon of the 1980s I'm pretty impressed with the TV series

If you've missed it I can recommend the lastest episode of Watchmen.
The five minute fart joke half way through the episode will be viewed again on a look back over Jeremy Irons career.
It's delivered to perfection.

Mandalorian going in a really good direction
Feels like a western weekly adventures of kinda show yet with a overreaching arc
Enjoying it

Really liking the Mandalorian. Its nice to have a sci-fi show that isn't ridiculously complicated. Goes at a nice pace and each episode is pretty much self contained while the overall story keeps moving forward. Each episode is titled as a chapter and that seems to really fit.
It looks like it cost an absolute fortune to make.
They've definitely missed a trick with the lack of merchandise. Surely someone involved in the Disney merchandising machine saw the potential there?

Watchmen is still good but hasn't tuned out as good as I'd hoped after the first couple of episodes. Interestingly if it comes back it could be a totally different show. The show runner has talked about getting a new team in for each series and them being independent of each other just set in the same universe. That could go one of two ways!
Still enjoying His Dark Materials, think I'll probably watch the whole thing again once it finishes as I'm not entirely sure what is going on.
The two new Doctor Who trailers give me little confidence the new series will be any better than the load of rubbish they served up last time round.

This weeks episode felt like an old Stargate SG1 Episode with the land on random planet, unadvanced villagers ask for help, bit of romance that cant go anywhere,leave
but works so well
However if you do like complicated Sci-Fi give The Expanse a go, its brilliant if you concentrate it really is, my fav show at minute

The whole Watchmen series was unbelievably good.
Just to give you a taster of the series if you missed it.

Just finished binging on an Australian show called Mr. Inbetween.
It's about the day to day life of a hit man who is divorced, a father and a carer.
Very good generally and absolutely brilliant in places.

I know it's not technically new but I'm watching the second series of Making A Murderer and although it's interesting in parts, every episode feels the same and there's a lack of twists like we got on the first series.

This weeks episode of the Mandalorian was amazing. Can't wait for the season finale next week.
The directors refusal to even consider replacing some of the puppetry and animatronics has paid off massively in my opinion. Apparently Disney wanted everything shot twice, once with the puppets and once without so they could add CGI later if they wanted to go down that route but the director wasn't prepared to consider it.
Would love to see a ranking of the most expensive shows to film per episode. This has got to be right up there. Although I suppose they save some money by using things that have already been created for the movies.

Anyone else watching Servant and wondering what the hell is going on?
Loving the show, but it is deliberately keeping us from finding out the truth.
Here's my tenpence worth

I thought at first that Leanne was some kind of malevolent force, but am now more of the mindset that she is there as some sort of guardian angel and to protect the family. This is why she takes personal things from the couple, as if that then enables her to offer some degree of protection.
May be way off the mark though.

I am enjoying it, but it is a bit daft.
Some people seem to be raving about it. I just think it is good, fun entertainment.
I do like all the one-liners.

Well written and the leads of Agatha and the Count are great trolling at each other - looking forward to the last one tonight - if 15 m did watch Gavin and Stacey i feel sorry for them

I just binged You on Netflix.
I thought it started very promisingly and then kind of descended into formulaic predictable drama. It reminded me Dexter a lot with the constant monologues and obvious dark elements.
Very silly and at times very good in parts but I'm not sure if I'll watch the second season or not as it is very patchy.
