The Shield is still the best LA cop show ever. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it 

Brilliant show.  Does become a bit farcical by the end but compelling viewing even then.

Thankfully all the episodes of Ahsoka are being written by Dave Filoni

Currently watched the first of the two episodes of Ahsoka.  Quite impressed with it tbh but am a little confused as to when this takes place and who everyone is since it follows the cartoons that I've never watched.  Shall definitely stick with it though.  I assume Hayden is in flashbacks since he's dead?

Ah yeah it will probably be a bit confusing if you haven't watched Rebels 

 

Probably worth watching something like the below video to just catch up on what happens in it (although I do recommend just watching the whole series as well!)

 

 

I think it is meant to be around the same time as Season 3 of The Mandalorian

[The Bear]

I quite liked the first two episodes. It helps that it has more Jedi and light sabre stuff as I'm someone who isn't a massive Star Wars fans and only loosely knows the films. 

 

I did Google when it's set, and it is shortly after the Empire was defeated in ROTJ. 

[Bellend Sebastian]

I've watched the first two episodes and it's better than I expected after reading a particularly sniffy review which was plausible enough given some of the turd they've served up recently.

 

The Mandalorian and Boba Fett are the worst. There seems to be a consensus that the first two seasons of the former were pretty good, but I've found it to be shite from the off

Found this side by side from Rebels finale and Ahsoka

That. Was. Awesome!!

Binge watching Who is Erin Carter ? on Netflix not bad at all. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Been watching clips of Johnny Bravo and it always makes me laugh how much of it went over our heads watching it as kids and how unsuitable it actually is

Whitehouse and Mortimer Gone Fishing is back on Sunday.

 

I have zero interest in fishing, but I absolutely love this program. Just two old blokes having a good time, enjoying themselves and making me laugh into the bargain.

Fvck. 
 

And, you. 
 

You bastard. 
 

It took me two minutes before I had to pause and google. I was so psyched. You utter bastard.

Yeah we’re thinking of doing the week’s trial of Paramount+ and just binging the new series  

 

Will check out the news channel show, thanks mate

Series 4 of 5 bedrooms now on Iplayer. 👍

 

[LanguedocFox]

I watched Series 2 of The Tower on ITV-X. I’ve a subscription, so don’t get ads - I can imagine it would be awful with ads - and I found it really good.
 

I enjoyed the first series, but the second one was probably better and it’s enjoyable watching the characters develop. Recommended if you like murder mysteries and police procedurals.

Binged it last night on ITV-X. We had ads but it wasn't that bad. Very good 2nd series.

And it's so relaxing and full of mindfulness. The scenery is always stunning as is the filming of said scenery. The casual, friendly banter between them is gentle and amusing.

 

We love it too.

Definately but not a huge surprise given one of the writers of it was Seth Mcfarlane. 

 

It's always slight unnerved me that he moulded our sense of humour from such a young age with shows like Johnny Bravo and Cow and chicken and took advantage of it with Family guy and American dad later on in our life. 

[Izzy]

The Ricky Hatton documentary on Sky is outstanding.

 

Very sad in parts but a compelling watch, even if you're not a big boxing fan.

[RonnieTodger]

Jury Duty on Freevee is brilliant

[ithuriel]

Ahsoka, thought Ep.3 was more for a catch up on the characters of Sabine and Ahsoka and was a tad slow but Ep.4 was pretty good, can't spoil though I thought Ray really looked menacing during the fight.

Massive spoilers in video BTW

Haven’t been able to watch episode 4 yet but had it spoiled for me earlier and now I cannot wait until Saturday when I can!

Has anyone watched the live action One Piece on Netflix yet?

 

Getting some very good reviews

I'm on episode 6 now and watch a bit when I can. I don't know anything about the original story but this is great so far

[Tommy Fresh]

Just a little excited for Top Boy

The final 20 minutes was superb.  The whole episode was great but those final 20... 

 

The whole episode flew by.  It felt half the time of episode 3.  (I've just watched 3 and 4 back to back.)
