    Owing to your comments, I checked it out and am impressed so far! About three episodes in IIRC. Funny thing is in my ignorance, I thought originally just from the image that it was a continuation of Jeff Goldblum's character from Thor Ragnarok (which would've been interesting). Knowing a little bit about Greek mythology certainly helps the jokes land.

    To sum it up, the age of gods and mortals gets the "Romeo + Juliet" treatment.

    Yeah, had a bit of a Geek myth part of my youth which does indeed help.

    Eeeek, I've been hearing trailers for it on BBC radio and was going to take a look.

    Finally getting around to season 4 of For All Mankind, 4 episodes in so far.

    In all past seasons I haven’t had much of a problem with suspense of disbelief, it’s been relatively plausible. But this series is really stretching it thin. So many times I’ve said to myself (or my other half) that “No way in hell would they do that or allow that to happen…”. Elaborating would risk spoilers, and I can’t be arsed to use the tags right now, but I will stick with it and watch the rest of it.

    Nightsleeper, was fine to binge watch with my wife and have something we could both enjoy. No great positive or negative feelings about it, plenty of suspense and action.

    We're really delighted to be back watching Slow Horses Series 4, it's an impressive show and there will be a moment of sadness when it's over.

    Walking Dead : Dead City.
    Well I'd like to watch it, but midday with all the curtains closed and the program is still to bloody dark to make out any details on the screen

    FFS Netflix have just said they're not renewing Kaos.

    They're such absolutely frickin frickfaces for doing that sort of thing.

    I too just watched the one season of Kaos. Perfect tie-in with my obsession of playing Hades lately. Sucks they're cancelling it. At least Hades 2 is in the making.

    Well, that's...annoying. Finished it last weekend and my immediate thought was "I want more of this".

    Yeah, it may have helped I have a soft spot for the ol' ancient Greece mythology but it was enjoyable - something a bit different for once.

    Ditching that and trashing The Witcher, to name but two, wonder what else they have planned.

    OH just got a free Prime trial so now I've had two seconds to myself I've just blasted through Fallout.

    Most enjoyable, trouble is it makes me want to boot up FO4 and mod the pants out of it again although I have plenty of other games to get into.

    Next up will be Rings of Power, think I have a Picard season to get through and a few Vikings seasons (although I'd like to rewatch from the start as I've forgotten it all - may have to tag on a trial for me too after hers as it's a bit to get through).

    Not sure what else there is, not really looked yet.

    Really enjoying the Day of the Jackal, plenty of action and suspense.

    We fell into the trap that people are complaining about, we binge watched Eps 1 to 5 without realising that Eps 6-10 are being drip fed weekly.

    Still doesn't beat Slow Horses IMHO, best show in ages.
    Gary Oldman in particular, is outstanding.

    That had piqued my interest, I enjoyed the original and the remake with Bruce Willis and Jack Black.
