COMA. On 5 Catchup.

A 4 parter.....really good. Starring the always brilliant Jason Watkins.

I binge watched the last series of "Squid Games" and it as a bit disappointing. I won't add any spoilers but I think an American spin off is on the cards, hardly surprising since it's Netflix's most popular series.

The second series was brilliant,a little more blood thirsty than the first but that wasn't necessarily a negative thing. I had really warmed to the characters. I think the final series has to be watched if you have seen the previous two but the writers didn't seem to know how to end all the various storylines in a satisfying way. The first series was unique and brilliant so it was always going to be difficult to rival the quality of that.

I loved the first series of Squid Games, it was so original and imaginative.
I also liked the real Squid games series....obviously the contestants didn't get killed off, it was still entertaining.

The last series, I tried to get into it, but gave up after a couple of episodes.

I watched.it all, disappointed though.

Agree it was a disappointment in comparison to the first series. I don't think there is much appetite for an American series either. The magic was in the originality of the concept. But Netflix just can't resist cashing in.

I'm watching Insomnia. It's brilliant!

Last episode tomorrow. If you haven't watched it, have a.look. I can really recommend it. 😁

Just finished watching the second series of The couple next door on Ch4....also can watch the full series on catch up.

The first series was good...the 2nd, different characters apart from the pervy neighbour, it's full of obviously titillating ménage a trois scenes between the three main characters.

The twist at the end is good though.

I have started watching it after reading your comment Mags.

Watched 2 episodes so far, it's quite chilling.

Watched the first 3 episodes of The Assassin with Keeley Hawes playing a retired hitwoman living in Greece, whose dopey son pays her a visit. Very strong Killing Eve vibes for anyone who enjoyed that show.

Catching up with The White Lotus, albeit out of sequence, and am thoroughly enjoying season 1, the best of the 3 imo. The gay hotel manager is a fucking hoot, and Sydney Sweeney is perfect as the petulant daughter in a dysfunctional family.

😂 White Lotus is superb.

Red, did you ever get into Fargo? Seasons 1, 2 especially are so good (watched both twice). And in season 1, Billy Bob Thornton played one of the best ‘bad guy’ roles I’ve ever seen.

Currently re-watching season 5.

I've only got 2 episodes of TWL left and want to watch them but also save them for later at the same time!

I like Billy Bob - he was great in Landman, but I cannot stand Martin Freeman to the extent I can't watch anything he's in, so no Fargo for me.

😂 You don’t know what you’re missing with Season 1, if only for Thornton’s performance. But yeah, Freeman plays the whiniest slimiest little shit imaginable in it, so maybe not. Because, your blood pressure… 😂

Okay then, you’ll prob enjoy Season 5. Again, classic Coen Brothers excellence. Juno Temple is as great in it as she was in Ted Lasso. And Jon Hamm (Mad Men) is the Season 5 sociopath.
