Not started Slow Horses yet but we're looking forward to it. We're taking a break from spy stuff after doing the full run of The Americans and then the full Kingsman movie series

Severance is really great, highly recommended if you’ve Apple TV.

The last episode of the series was so tense, but really satisfying as a season end, while leaving lots for the next season.

Finally finished series 6 of Peaky Blinders. That last feature length episode was brilliant.

Loving Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson on Apple TV- hes always informative and passionate about his subject.

Just watched the Sampling one and always nice to see musos meet their heroes !

I never know why him, Grayson and Bowen aren't just given a ton of cash to just go off and make some docus about stuff that interests them rather than currently a million "celebs" doing lightweight travel shows - I am looking at you Sandy, Jonna Lumley, Susan Calman, Romesh et al....

Travel Man I can forgive although Lycett isn't a patch on Mr IT Crowd !

Not new telly exactly but is anyone else watching FORCES TV? (Sky 181 - dunno the other numbers for Freesat, Freeview, Virgin, etc.). I've been watching classic Dr Who, Blakes 7, Selwyn Froggit to name but all of them.

Seconded. Finished it last week and damn that ending. Jesus. Cannot wait for S2.

Been watching The Wilds on Amazon. For some reason skipped over this when it first appeared but once S2 hit it got bumped onto my watch list. And I'm super glad it did - it's absolutely fantastic

Bunch of teen girls on their way to a retreat in Hawaii crashland on a remote island. Then things get weird. It's very much in the vain of Yellowjackets but there's a vein of Hunger Games or Mazerunner going through it. Doesn't have the dark comedy vibe that Yellowjackets had, but for me it's a much better show

Yeah I know Im a little behind - So Season 3 start of Discovery - m'eh.

Massively great shoot......fight ..time travel end to season 2 with such a great image throughout of the RED ANGEL and now we are a year on and things have slowed down quite a bit and Michael is "different" - 3 episodes in and I hope it gets better although why Captain Philippa Georgiou (the bad version) doesnt have her own show is beyond me, I could watch her all day...

Plus now we have deep breath... Discovery, Picard, Strange New Adventures and the 2 cartoon ones..... (and Orville, yeah i know)

When will I ever get a chance to watch and moan about them all ?

I enjoyed the third and fourth seasons, despite their going perhaps a little overboard on the sexual and gender wokeness (are all Trill not naturally fluid/non-binary about that sort of stuff anyway?).

Georgiou's Section 31 series is apparently on hold until at least one of the five current series finishes.
Emoticon and contraction free since... quite a while ago.

The whole Star Trek thing just needs to be allowed to die gracefully.

Season 2 of Picard was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.

Season 2 of Picard is well down my list of things to get to and hearing fold talk it probably won't ever reach the top.

Not bothered with any of the live stuff in recent years other than S1 of Discovery.

So all that can go away.

However, I do, strangely, LOVE Lower Decks.

I probably didn't finish the second season of Picard. Disappointing, I really enjoyed the first. New Adventures is ace though.

Obiwan just dropped early. It's really good.

Just looked at some reviews for Strange New Worlds (which I assume is what you are talking about) and all seems very positive and that fact it's not gone done the depressing route seems a plus.

Not in the UK yet through any legal means as far as I know.

Sounds promising. Got all my timelines confused. Do I need to catch up on Mandalorian and Bobba Fett?

Andor trailer has dropped (releases 31st August). Looks like they're going for the depressing route:
