What have you watched on TV?

After all the talk of Better Call Saul here I've just picked it back up from where I left it a few years ago (end of season 3) - surprised at how easily I got right back into it; it really is bloody fantastic.

Enjoyed (the repeat of)The Shadows at Sixty on BBC4 last night. Great British pop group.

Just seen the first (of three) of the Van der Valk. remakes with the excellent Marc Warren - a nice, easy watch I thought ?

Just started to re-watch The Last Kingdom on NetFlix. Only 4 series of 10 episodes per series so it shouldn't take long. I've been a faithful follower of all Bernard Cornwell's books throughout his writing career and this is pretty close to the orignal books.

Yes, the lead Uhtred actor has grown on me, should be taller though.
I am reading the latest book in the series and it is good but the story is coming to an end.

Season 5 was awful.

I became so sick of McNulty’s character by then

If you like Marc Warren then I suggest State of Play which was a six parter back in 2003.
Some big (ish) names and a decent story line.

Sound like my dad! Bernard Cornwell seems to bring a book out every November, it's sorted my dad's Xmas present for many years now

Just watched episode 5 of gangs of London, that episode is brilliant and I'm enjoying the series overall.

Season 3 of Westworld, good to see Aaron Paul again. I like him as an actor and especially when he’s not playing a chavy druggy.

It certainly was addictive for us right through to the last episode. Great series.

I couldn't really get into this so I gave up after around 3 episodes of season 1.
Is it worth having another go?

There are a lot of twists in it. It can get very confusing and you have to stay fully concentrated on it. You can’t sit on the Zone and watch it at the same time. If you pay full attention to it season 1 & 2 are very good.

I've always loved a good sports documentary even when its about a sport I'm not really into. Loved Senna and I find F1 pretty boring. I never watch basketball but I'm absolutely loving the last dance on Netflix, primarily focused around Jordan but the episodes on Pippen and Rodman were great. Particularly liked the Rodman episode. 2 more have been added today, reckon I'll take one of them in on my lunch break

Last Dance is incredible. I'm really into NBA but my missus isn't really, but we're both absolutely hooked. Didn't realise they had so much behind the scenes footage. The yanks really know how to do a good sports documentary. Wish we had some programmes like this for UK sport stories. I know ESPN did a few 30 for 30s that are great, but imagine if we had behind the scenes for England 86/87 Ashes, or United 99 season.

If you like basketball documentaries, Hoop Dreams is fantastic. I think it's on Prime.

I watched one of the 30 for 30 docs, the 2 Escobars.

Have binged watched Schitts Creek on Netflix. a lighthearted comedy that makes the time go by. Found The English Game very entertaining. Have also got into the Repair Shop. Incredible the items they can recover!

Loving The Last Dance, something to look forward to every Monday. If you ever get a chance go to a live NBA game in the US. It’s amazing, I went to watch the Miami Heat in 2015 and it was outstanding. Next time I go out to the US I’ll make sure I get to another game. Their sporting events are exactly that events! It’s not just about the game it’s about the whole event

The last ever Homeland - excellent work and it'll be sadly missed.
