    Yep didn't enjoy The Expanse either.

    Picard was great up until the finale which was a bit of a letdown.

    Only started this week on Narcos Mexico...thought it would be a lame spin-off...but hell, it is right up there and just finished Series One Episode Five...the Colombian connection...that was seriously good watching...wow!!! Early days yet but this is up there with Better Call Saul and Frazier as spin-offs, prequels, sequels, par excellence.

    I started watching the first episode yesterday, I assume it is the Korean one? If so, not sure yet whether I'm enjoying it or not. The acting is a bit naff, but I guess the plot could become interesting.

    Episode 2 today, so will have to wait and see.

    As it's topical, I was going to watch Groundhog Day, but I think I've seen it before.

    I'm halfway through the second season. My main issue with these shows is how long their episodes run. It just makes it drag a bit too much. Decent premise and it's all interesting, but they're so dark and dreary so it's a lot to sit through in one sitting.

    I gave up on Ozark, it's way too long and drags really badly (as well as being a bit daft in places).

    I've been watching it in 30 minute chunks so it doesn't feel like it drags as much as it would, but completely agree with you. It's like showrunners these days think having dark, moody shows with runtimes over an hour makes their show premium content when really it just makes them boring.

    I've stuck with Ozark and I'm half way through series 3 and it's actually the best series so far.

    Narcos Mexico isn't really a spin off, more a continuation of the Columbian story of getting the drugs into America, excellent all the way through.

    Thank God for that, I thought your choice of films had taken a turn for the worse.

    P.S. I see it is The Stranger not Stranger which is what through me.

    I struggle a bit with Netflix series, no patience, so I've been watching more films. Curzon Home Cinema has some really good alternative films on pay as you go basis. Watched one called Bait last night, excellent.

    That's what made I'm Not OK With This so easy to watch. Each episode is about 25 minutes

    I finished the second series of Sunderland Til I Die last night, I thought it was better than the first series. More about the fans and the struggles of the owners. Plus, you know it has the "typical City" style ending!

    Same here - circa half way through and think it's great.

    Money Heist - series 4 was decent. Far fetched of course, but entertaining as ever.

    Devs - decent new series. Sci Fi intrigue concerning the pursuit of being able to project images from the past and future.

    Yes there were 3 series of Narcos based around Pablo Escobar and the Columbian cartels followed by 2 more series of Narcos Mexico which tie in to the same story but based around the Mexican drug cartels.

    Stranger Things Series 2 may be my favourite ever telly series, slightly embarrassingly so for a middle aged bloke who should know better. But what it does it does very well indeed. Give it another go
