Started watching Gangs of London too, lead is a bit stilted because the always stern, serious business, can’t crack a smile mob boss trope is annoying. Besides that I’m enjoying it

On the last episode of The Test. That Stokes innings is a thing of beauty! 

It gets more outrageous every time I watch it. I doubt I'll see anything like that again in my lifetime.

What have you made of it? I do think it was really well done - to be honest I grew up with Ponting being my hero so I’ve always admired the Aussies (up until recently). You get a proper insight in to the different personalities in that team I thought.

Up there for me with one of the greatest innings of all time. Up there with Lara’s massive innings, Michael Clarke’s 329 at Sydney is also up there and Kallis probably had about 2 or 3 that could match it because he was an absolute freak. I know the score might not have matched any of those but given the circumstances and the pressure and he was also facing the best bowling attack in the world. It just doesn’t compute with me. I still to this day don’t know how he managed to pull that off.

It's was just pure bottle, courage, heart, pride, passion and the will to win. You can't teach that stuff, you're born with it.

More of a series, but does anyone else was Rich House, Poor House?

Intriguing to compare the lives of the rich and those on the other end of the money spectrum.

Just started watching parks and recreation, anyone seen this and it is worth persisting with? 

First series is crap, second season ok, seasons 3-6 are great. Stick with it.

Just finished watching 1970's series Colditz what a great show, certainly got me through the lockdown. It's amazing to think how many different escapes that got foiled. Some great performances in there.

Loved it. The person who I changed my opinion on the most was Steve Smith. Always thought he was a bit of a snide but he just loves cricket and is a little bit weird. Most of them came across well except Warner and maybe Khawaja. I really enjoy this access all areas documentaries. Wish we had one for the title win

His celebration after the winning boundary gave me goosebumps. He must have balls the size of watermelons. And the scenes of the crowd looked epic

Ah poodles, gonna have to wait and see if Westworld gets a season 4.

Bit miffed they strung this out and left so many questions instead of putting in more of the story :S

First series is a bit infamous for being pony, 2 is better, 3 - 5 are absolutely incredible, 6-7 are superb. I think you'll like it mate.

Last episode  of Homeland last night tied all the loose ends up, been a great series over all, Carrie has to be the most annoying television character ever!

Yeah Smith is a weirdo can’t deny it, but he just loves batting and the game, I put something on here after I watched it, I think there’s more than we’ll ever know going on in his head - like most people with a bit of genius in them. I think the same can be said about Marnus as well he’s, basically, Smith number 2. If his numbers carry on being as ridiculous as they were before cricket stopped because of COVID he will break all sorts of records.

I’m always a bit behind but The Office is pretty good isn’t it.

peep show and the office, two of the very few things that are still funny from nearly 20 years ago and no matter how many times you watch them all the way through.
