I thoroughly enjoyed this and I now know a lot more about Arthur Conan Doyle than I thought I would ever know. I love Lucys shows and she is great at making history interesting and more appealing (I find Tony Robinson similar in that they are very engaging). I am not the biggest Sherlock Homes fan but I may read some of the stories after watching this. Im a big Sherlock fan and really admire ACD. He is one of our greatest citizens for a variety of reasons. Ive only watched the first episode and its very good. She is very informative and knowledgable. Get reading those Sherlock books or listen on audio. He really was the worlds greatest detective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last ever episode, supposedly, on Christmas day. I'm not much of a fan usually of sitcoms, or even the gentle comedy that Ghosts is, but love this show since I decided to watch the first one a few years ago (was able to then binge a few as they'd made 3 seasons by then). It can get a bit too saccharine sometimes (which is what I usually hate about sitcoms) but on the whole it's kept my engagement over the 5 seasons. Any other fans? As in many shows that prove popular, the US has made a remake, but I've never watched it although it too apparently gets decent reviews. No doubt they'll continue making it when it's long past its sell-by date though and ruin it. One of those programmes that annoys me if I happen to stumble across it for a couple of minutes. Not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boozyuzi Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 just started watching Reservation Dogs on Disney. Great stuff so far, all about a bunch of indiginous American Indian teenagers in Oklahama and their exploits to get some cash... and their advice from their wasted spirit fathers lol. half hour episodes like The Bear which is the best thing I've seen in a long time.

Ray Gin Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'm enjoying Blue Eye Sumurai on Netflix, an adult animated action series.

PortyJambo Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Just finished watching season 3 of Slow Horses on Apple+ and, as I'm sure I've said before on here, it's brilliant. There's already a Season 4 expected by the end of 2024 and a Season 5 has been ordered too. Gary Oldman is his usual excellent self as an actor in the main role, but the rest of the cast do a great job too. I read that he plans to retire from acting once Slow Horses finishes...but that could be a while if it keeps getting great reviews and being renewed by Apple as it has been.

And, unlike the reviewer, the show didn't take itself seriously and was fairly enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canscot Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Started watching The Morning Show season 1 a few nights ago starring Reece Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston.

John Findlay Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I enjoyed the Mr Bates versus the Post Office on ITV. Toby Jones a good actor the actress who played his wife, sorry I forget her name, also a good actress as she proved in the second series of Broadchurch. The documentary that was on at 10.45pm last night was also very good. I recommend watching the drama and documentary on catch up or ITVX or STV iPlayer.
