    I wouldn't say it's a "must watch" by any means. Just an enjoyable watch (not for everyone it would seem) really.

    If anyone was going to say Succession is overrated on here, I'd have put my son's life on it being Yev.

    Why?

    If I had to put any money on my (fictional) son's life that you can't explain that statement, I would.

    Finished Season 1 of Succession, the last half an hour is cracking. Then watched series 1 of Line of Duty, which was very good indeed.

    Succession sounds like something I might watch from the Wiki description, and it's only 3 series deep which is about my limit for starting one. What's it shown on outside the US?

    I'll have a check later on, cheers. The only thing I pay for on Now is Sky Sports so not sure if I have access to Entertainment or the on-demand stuff.

    I'm adding Drummer and Amos to your list but agreed on the rest. Is this a short series because I can only see 6 episodes so far.

    Six episodes and no plans for a seventh season. Pretty hard to see how they wrap it all up tbh.

    I think the acting in this series was completely over the top. Even Avasarala's character was made to shout "fuck" every other scene after the second season or so.

    The acting, dialogue and general aesthetics have mostly been pretty dire throughout the whole thing. The storyline and concepts have always done the heavy lifting.

    Absolute nonsense. The set design/costume/CGI have been some of the best I've seen. The level of thought and detail that's gone into the general "tech" stuff across the show is far beyond almost any other sci-fi series or movie.

    The space stuff has always looked pretty good. The battle scenes, ship sets etc are nice, yeah but that's not going to keep me watching a show on its own. The giga-cringe involved in anything to do with Belters has taken a lot of looking past though.

    I still have no idea how or why this is happening and why Steve Coogan wants to star in it.

    You can't make someone look more ridiculous than Saville already did so you can't really go wrong.

    Was about to post exactly this when I saw SvN's photos. There's no justice, no redemption, he fiddled kids and corpses all of his life and not only got away with it, he was knighted in the process. None of these things make for a worthwhile tv drama.

    In another eye-opening move, writer Neil McKay has confirmed some of the people targeted by Savile will be visiting the set of The Reckoning while Coogan is in full costume.

    ‘It’s clearly going to be strange. But they wanted to do it, they’re fully prepared, so it will be interesting,’ he said to Radio Times.
    What in the actual fuck?

    The whole thing is just baffling. It'll end a career somewhere along the way. Just hope it isn't Coogans.

    Disagree. I thought it was good and did well to flesh out some of the characters stories. It turns into more of a dramedy at points, but still very good.

    I think Boydy will enjoy season 2.

    Any heart that was in the first one just turned into slapstick shmalz in series 2 for me. Thought it was very by the numbers, though I gave up fairly early on.

    While looking for something else on Now I seen they kept making Billions after I thought it was done. I see they’re making another series again now but I think that’s me done with it now with Lewis gone.

    Finished The Tourist last night. I thought it was excellent. There were some nice Breaking Bad vibes in terms of the environment, the crazy guy, and some of the music.

    Last two episodes had some great lols too. Ethan especially.
