Indeed it is. Episode 3 may not have been quite as explosive as the opening two episodes but still packed a helluva punch. The scene between estranged sisters Julie and Cathy, as they reached out to each other but were still separated by a brick wall, was powerful stuff and beautifully acted.
Terrific performances throughout the stellar cast.

Yes CRS that scene was fantastic.
Lesley Manville is fast becoming one of my favourite actors.
Those last scenes with Andy(Adeel Akhtar) getting out of the car were superb.
not a great fan to be honest of the super hero films. in fact, I've maybe seen 5 or so including the Captain America trilogy and the one where they all die. forget what it was called but it was pretty good.
the other one was that abomination of a film with Stansa Stark in it.
oh and Wonder Woman, the first one and it was truly awful. truly.
anyway, I really enjoyed this one again. over the top of course, it was a super hero film but I really enjoyed it.
The Business (2005) - enjoyable little romp feat a young Danny Dyer, Dublin Oldschool (2018) which got kicked after 50 minutes as a) I could barely understand half of what was being said due to the thick Dub accent and b) because nothing happened and lastly, The Gentleman (2020) - Hugh Grant's finest hour IMO and even a tip top performance from Charlie Hunnam, who I last came across doing a Dick Van Dyke in Green Street all those years ago.

actually a Geordie by birth.......
however, his attempt at delivering a Cockney accent resulted in his inclusion in many critics' "worst accents in movie history" lists
from Wiki.......
did they completely miss DVD's role by any chance ??????
Caught up with season 6 of Billions. Surprised not many people are into this seeing as Succession is so successful. It is becoming slightly protracted. I was getting a bit lost in all the jargon and technicals. And the dialogue where they kept making references to people and characters as metaphors was getting annoying. Also, not sure Prince is as good as the nemesis compared to Axelrod.
Having said that, I still binged my way through it over several days.

We really enjoyed the first few seasons, but it just felt same old same old after a while, and we just got bored of it, don't think we finished the last season.
The loss of Damian Lewis’s Bobby Axelrod was a big blow and we did wonder where it would go.
After being firmly in Team Axelrod from day one, we found ourselves switching allegiance in season 6 to Team Rhodes.
It is not as good as it once was but is still eminently watchable.
another big thumbs up for whoever recommended Bosch.
S01 was pretty good.
S02 was a lot better
S03 was really good
S04 is imvho excellent.
there's I think another 4 season of this then Bosch Legacy which I have no clue who or what it involves.
but if you like crime dramas set in Los Angeles with a good cast and moves along - you do sometimes REALLY have to pay attention because it can get involved - I got a bit confused as to who was who, doing what, as there is quite a bit going on all at once in S04 - then this is for you.
Best TV drama of the year so far and it will take something very special to top Sherwood.
A very clever script and a superb cast all delivering impeccable performances with perhaps the icing on the cake being Adeel Akhtar as the tragic Andy Fisher. Some of his scenes were truly heartbreaking and you felt his pain and angst, a top notch piece of acting and to pick him out of such a stellar cast who all delivered, is a measure of just how good he was.
Surprised to hear of a second series but looking forward to see where it goes.
