Almost completely forgotten S1, but remember it was a decent watch. S2 of Guilt seems excellent so far. Mark Bonnar just keeps getting better with age.
Guilt (TV Series 2019–2023) ⭐ 7.4 | Comedy, Crime, Drama
Guilt: Created by Neil Forsyth. With Mark Bonnar, Emun Elliott, Henry Pettigrew, Jamie Sives. Two brothers accidentally run over and kill an old man. They cover their tracks, but their lives start to fall apart when neighbors and relatives of the dead doubt the way he died.

The Lincoln Lawyer
Three episodes in and I’m pretty 50/50. The lead guy is pretty cool and Neve Campbell is still HAF…….but the whole “lawyer coming in at the last minute and winning the case with some brilliant insight that no one else could possibly see” schtick was done to death with Suits (which I somehow lasted three seasons) and there doesn’t seem to be an annoying but amusing dickhead character like Lewis in this one.
Also having been driven round in LA years ago (it is fucken massive) it pushes the bullshit needle to critical that he manages to get from one end of town to the other as quick as he does.

we've watched it over the last week or so, really liked it
We saw it not so much as brilliant last minute insight no one else had seen but rather scrambling to find what the previous lawyer had planned, also thought there were several joke about how long it would take to get from place to place rather than it being easy, isn;t that part of why he works out of his car...yeah he says he thinks better but also needs to get around

Ozark - just finished final episode.
Titwatch: zero.
I was surprised by the ending - I watched the entire thing expecting nearly the exact opposite of the ending.
And if only for that - I'm gonna give it a pass.
##spoiler
I'm not entirely sold on whether the reason for that ending was artistic, or commercial.
##endspoilerMN5: Do you want to watch the rest of Ozark ?
ThepotentialfuturemrsMN5: Hmmmm, not really….shall we wait til it pisses down one weekend and binge it ?
MN5: ok
……still waiting for a downpour but not holding my breath. When a dickwad like Marty is easily the most likeable character ( or should I say least hateable ) it doesn’t speak volumes for a show that started out so well.

Possibly a fair point.
I could be wrong but he got from somewhere to somewhere else in a ridiculously short amount of time ( was admittedly dozing a bit on the couch while watching ).
Also another gripe, as if that hot little blonde would be engaged to that fucken Sasquatch. Have a haircut and trim your beard you Munter.
It’s still compelling enough to keep watching so won’t give up on it just yet.

Started this last night and, while entertaining, it came across as "Goliath-lite" (well the first couple of seasons of Goliath before it went all weird)
Makes me wonder if Goliath was heavily influenced by the same book. Brilliant lawyer recovering from addiction. ex wives, teenage daughter, odd assortment of assistants, personality attached to a car.....Good enough that I have delayed cancelling the 'Flix until I finish it

Stranger Things series 4.
One episode in and pretty good. Really like the way the characters have developed over the series
-
5 eps into the final season (I think) of Killing Eve, first few eps were pretty ave and was contemplating bailing (too much Eve, not enough Villanelle) but has picked up again, so will see it out.

Bosch Legacy S01
Fantastic series, fantastic ending.

I've been watching this over the last week and finished Ep 7 tonight. Holy Shit! The Duffer Brothers have certainly upped the horror element of the show, but there are still plenty of references to 1980s pop culture. Everything is slowly coming together with some twists and surprises along the way.

Yep. It's just a little different in tone, a bit darker but with some lighter moments as well.
##spoiler
I really enjoyed the sub-plots like Hopper's rescue and the comic interplay between Joyce & Murray and how that contrasted with the more horror elements of the show.Be interesting to see how it all comes together on the final episodes.

Pistols - 'Based on' the Sex Pistols story, directed by Danny Boyle
I'm very wary of biopics but this seems OK.
Edit: have watched two episodes and really enjoying it
Decent

The Night Manager
Had this on my list for a while and was worth every minute.
Hiddleston vs Laurie with Colman playing the dumpy looking agency wonk with a steel core to perfection.
Throw in some boobies and tense British drama and you're onto a winner.
Recommend.

halfway through Slow Horses, really enjoying it!
Having never read the books and some of the comments here, wasnt sure what to expect, but I like it.
