Anyone watched Silo on apple TV yet?
The trilogy of books are some of my all time favourites so I'm a bit nervous about the adaptation.
Oh cool! Liked the first series so pleased that there is another.
I know it’s now quite old but watched Berlin Station recently - mainly watched it for Mina Tander as developed a bit of a thing for her. Unfortunately she was dressed quite frumpily in the last season. Probably because she was so much hotter than the US ladies who were supposed to be the stars.
Yep, finished season 1 - dunno if that's the end or just the end of the first book as I haven't read them. It's well made with a biggish budget I suspect so pretty good overall - good cast with some seasoned actors: Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter and, of course, Rebecca Ferguson who is always easy on the eye. Not the best sci-fi series ever or particularly memorable, but I enjoyed it, with the slow reveal leading up to the denouement.
I saw this last week and yes, it was truly creepy but compelling to watch. I tried watching Louis Theroux Interviews Jimmy Savile afterwards but found it too strange to watch considering what we now know about him!

The Newsreader has quietly reappeared for series 2 on BBC2, low key Australian 20th century history viwed through the lens of a Murdoch style TV news station
I have recently discovered Expedition Unknown on Prime - just fantastic and hugely watchable. Anyone else enjoyed this?
(If you like stuff like Oak Island it'll be right up your street).
Series 10 of the blacklist.
Loved it until the final episode. Bull.
Just finished Culprits on Disney, very enjoyable.
Brawn, docu series starring Keanu Reeves is on Disney+
Binge watched Kin on iPlayer - really enjoying it.
Does it get any better than the first episode as we stopped the first episode before it finished?

another vote for 'bodies' , i like a good time travel / paradox tale and this is one of the better done ones.
We're liking Kin too.
Payback was pretty good.
Not sure about Boat Storey - Episode 1 was good. We're part way through episode 2 & it's gotten very weird. I do like Daisy Haggard though.
Foundation on Apple TV, just finished Season 1 and looking forward to Season 2. Extra thumbs up for Lou Llobell too.
It's on the RTE equivalent.
The railway Men on Netflix about the Bopal disaster is a great watch.
It's been mentioned but Slow Horses (Apple TV) was enjoyable.
It starts out badly.
Man in a smart suit furrows brow, touches ear and starts yelling loudly while chasing a suspect as a woman in a smart suit in some kind of TV-only imagination of a spy command centre stares up at a large bank of monitors and furrows her brow while barking commands at underlings who... etc etc. You've seen it so often before you are initially left wondering if was written by an intern entering the prompt "generic spy plot" into a beta version of ScriptGPT.
But then Gary Oldman arrives flatulently like a cross between George Smiley and Sir Les Patterson, and it all settles down to some actual plot and characters. Not great, not bad, just enjoyable while it unfolds.
Just started to watch “Person of Interest” which is a few years old, on prime.
Missed it on its original run but quite enjoying it (watched 15 episodes in 5 nights lol)
Basically, a computer (“the machine”) churns out a social security number related to a death, and a computer guy with access to the numbers recruits an ex cia spook to try and save the innocent person who will die (not necessarily the person who’s number is churned out……..)
New number every week and an underlying long story about the two protagonists histories.
Solid 7.5/10
Another vote for kin

Just finished "Archie: the man who became Cary Grant" a 4 part biopic on ITVX. Thought it was really well done and Jason Isaacs in the title role was brilliant.
Really enjoyed it, especially if you're a certain age and enjoyed watching his films in your youth.
Vinnie Jones In The Country.
Not new, but The Thick of it is on Iplayer now.
A superb political satire.
Lawman: Bass Reeves.
Really not at all bad. More entertainment than history, and treads more lightly that it perhaps should have done over the touchy subject of a black ex-slave, deputy marshall rounding undesirable white folks at the point of a six shooter. On Paramount, unfortunately.
S3 of Slow Horses starts today on Apple TV :eagerness:
Squid games the recreation, even weirder than the original. better than I'm a Celebrity.
Very much enjoying the Irish gangster drama KIN with the first series on iplayer.

Hard to believe it was made in 1976,absolutely fascinating and hard not to watch it all in one go.
