Yeh, it was on bbc/itv in 2016. Only realised we'd watched it before about 30 minutes in :crylol:

Caught Ray Donovan the other night (taken two days to log in!)

Really enjoyed it, nice closure - didn't disappoint. - Leiv schribers spent the last 9 years playing this guy and has done the viewers an excellent service.

The show itself did dip after Abs departure but improved during the final couple of series.

If you are a fan of the show, find a recap online and enjoy.

Thought it finished the whole thing off very well. Great the way they portrayed Mickey & Ray's early relationship. Finding out how Mickey ended up inside, etc. A very fitting end!

Started Stranger Things last night so that'll be me for the next three or four weeks now, assuming I stick with it. I tried season one before, years ago, but it never really took. We'll see how it goes this time.

We watched the first three episodes. I was much more engaged with it than I was the first time I tried it so I'm looking forward to more tonight but I still wasn't blown away or swept up in it (yet). Of course, I wasn't particularly taken with Breaking Bad when I first tried that opening episode. Took me the better part of its entire run to warm to The Wire.

Finished Stranger Things last night and found it overly long, which has been my main complaint this season.

It was OK, but I feel it’s a victim of it’s own success.

The wife was out last night so tried The Terminal List. Switched it off after 15 minutes. So wooden.

I think the show is incredibly formulaic but it pulls it all off very well. The finale, which was very long, was well done and all the moments earned the right to the there I think.

Missus and kids all insisted we binge watched the final parts of S4 before the spoilers got out.

Very good, although had to put up with them all crying towards the end...

Master of Puppets number one next week?

Rammstein live in Paris on Prime. All those wallies on the Glastonbury thread should watch this to see a real decent live show :fist:

I actually only liked the first one. Watched two but couldn’t sit through the third.

Better Call Saul is amazing. Just as good as BB. Bob Odenkirk is a brilliant actor.
