Netflix - Hunters.

As expected from a Hollywood production it tends towards glorifying the Jews.

Decent enough though if you ignore the propaganda and just take it for what it is. A detective series. 

Recommended.

Watched the first series and loved it, but yes, given recent events it does tarnish it considerably.

Small Prophets

 

Latest comedy/drama from Mackenzie Crook, who did the brilliant The Detectorists.

In one word...Genius

Available to watch on the iPlayer and worth the license fee alone.

Just watched this and agree 100%.
 

I suspect people who like this might also like Leonard And Hungry Paul, a very gentle comedy on iPlayer.

Dirty Business on Channel 4 about the dumping of sewage by greedy water companies, and a pretty fucked up Environment Agency. Compelling and likely to get people angry, but like the post office drama.

Just glad Scottish Water wasn’t privatised.

Any browncoats on the board?  Words cannot express just how happy I am to get this news

Ultras

 

Three part documentary on the iplayer, about the Scottisj football Ultras.

Not a bad programme to be fair, although I'll never understand the videos and YouTube 'personalities', I'm likely not meant to though.

We had two 'academic' types representing both sides of the cheeks, with the hun doing an audition for the Colin Compton role for a potential reboot of the Wheeltappers and Shunters Club. (One for the kids!)

An Aberdeen fan speaking about getting himself in the shit for buying and taking pyro into Hampden last May.

Cost him £7k in legal fees.

It'll be Better Call Saul next for us. The loons said it's better than Breaking Bad.

Just finished Better Call Saul.

Excellent television and definitely better than Breaking Bad, although BB is brilliant too.

May interest those of us of a certain vintage, but the TV series This Life, is 30 years old this month.

Was must watch TV back in the day and even though Andrew Lincoln is a big TV star now, he will always be 'Egg'.

 

The full series is up on the iPlayer and I think it needs another viewing.

Just finished the second series of Paradise. Excellent watch, and of course there’s a third season coming. Think my only gripe is that it is very yank centric but it is what it is.
