Watched a good drama on CH4 I am Nicola with Vicky McClure, probably best described as a drama about mental abuse, jealousy and insecurities in a relationship 

I watched the one last night, I am Kirsty. Very difficult to watch knowing that what it must be like for single parents living on the breadline.

Not watched that one yet, I assume they’ll all be a difficult watch though.

I love to watch series than movies. Here I'm listing few of the best series I've watched.
Chernobyl
Game of Thrones (didn't like the finale)

The Walking Dead (Started off pretty well but they ruined the show after season 6)

The Breaking Bad (Amazing)

Prison Break 

The Stranger Things

CF, sorry for the dealy in replying. A month's ban for being Mark's favourite prevented me from apologising to you for stating that there were 3 seasons when there are in fact only two. Damn good though weren't they?

 

As for Ozark I think I recommended that too. First season is better than the second but still both worth watching.

 

I see that Mindhunter is about to start a second season, anyone who didn't see the first should watch that quickly. A very good series.

 

I'm on my summer break from TV watching but will start again in September.

The Boys on Amazon Prime is great fun. 

 

Blackly comic, sweary and violent. 

 

If you're tired of the constant, overwhelming stream of Marvel and DC superhero stuff, give this a go.

She definitely has her flaws but she grows slowly throughout. She's nearly always morally in the right. 

 

Artie's wife is another one. Morally, she's nearly always right but she's painted horribly. Again, you're seeing the world largely through the perspective of the men in the show. 

I think Carmella's great. Always found her less annoying than Skyler.

I ****ing hated Skylar White tbqh. 

 

I didn't mind Carm at all no but she serves a similar story telling purpose.

No shit. He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. The guy was an interior decorator. 

I’ve seen that scene before, wish I hadn’t

Seeing it in context once you've got more understanding of Paulie and Chris will make that episode more enjoyable, don't worry. Plus it's just one scene in an iconic episode.

Very on brand for me, it was the title of some guy’s Football Manager career update on the SI forums so I looked it up and watched it

Started Mindhunter season one last night on recommendation of a few people in preparation for the new series coming soon.

 

About 5 episodes in and absolutely hooked. Although in my head Holden Ford keeps morphing into Michael Cera.

Nice to have you back prof ! ...  and yes they were damn good.

 

We’ve just watched all of Keeping Faith ...    enjoyed the first series..  but this one ! ...   don’t bloody bother  !!   Complicated, unbelievable, confusing, personality changes, characters disappear, sh1t Irish accents, actor changes ...    and where does the boxing come from !!!  ...   and how tf has she got time for that !!

A friend has just recommended 'The Boys' to me https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190634/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

 

Anyone seen it? I will give it a go anyway and update for those into these sort of shows.

Leftovers is 100% the most under watched show of the 21st century.

It is brilliant nobody ever watches it when I recommend it and it is frustrating.

I'm not sure I'd say its my favourite show ever but it's definitely the show that resonates with me emotionally the most. That's probably not something to admit freely. 

 

You're right it is brilliant.

It's often on nowtv. 

 

It currently isn't, you'd need to buy it off Amazon prime TV. 

 

But I mean, during its run it was on nowtv for like four years solidly and still not many people watched it.

Genuinely worth it imo. It's a really very clever exploration of faith. I can't really explain that in too much detail without spoiling things which is sort of the point. 

 

You just have to watch it and enjoy. 

 

It's also just staggeringly guttingly depressing in places
