    Cool, I knew it was something a little weird like that. I watched the last season not so long ago and you forget how young they were/looked when they made Season 1.



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,064 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Season one aired in 2011, season two 2013 on channel 4.

    Then it became a Netflix exclusive and season 3 aired 2019. So big gap from season 2 and 3.

    Any series recommendations folks?

    Turns out you get through way more Netflix when you are rocking an unsettled baby to sleep and doing the night feeds haha. 😝

    Best things I've seen in the last while have been The Ozark, Mr. In between and Mindhunter.

    Ozark was brilliant. Loved watching that, we watched it in real-time so to speak so had to wait for each new season... shows how used we get to binging entire seasons back to back that the wait between seasons killed me 😀

    Watched it all ourselves over the last 3 nights. Really good show. Was a bit surprised there were only seven episodes though.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 27,898 Mod ✭✭✭✭Posy


    Just finished Squid Game tonight here too. Wasn't sure where they would go with another series, so very pleasantly surprised. 😁



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,184 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Yeah the twist this time is really good. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out now.

    Up early so watching 'John Lewis at Christmas' which i had recorded during the build up and never got a chance to watch. Really enjoying it.

    Watched Landman over the break with Billy Bob Thornton. Really great show about the oil workers in Texas. BBT looks the same in this as he did in Bad Santa 2 which was 8 years ago…



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 26,064 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Oh I've heard nothing but good things, definitely one for the list for 2025.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 234 ✭✭Andrew93


    Brilliant show with various stories going on. Also very funny depending on how you perceive humor. Hope you enjoy it!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,184 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    We watched 'The Madness' & 'Black Doves' on Netflix just before & over Christmas, enjoyed both.

    Nice little Easter egg at the end of the Gavin and Stacey documentary!

    The famous fishing trip! Loved that they still gave nothing away!

    Finally getting around to watching the day of the jackal on sky, 2 episodes in & we're hooked, really enjoying it.

    Reading a fantasy book called "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros. Apparently its huge on "booktok". I was recommended it by my mid 30's friends and my 12 year old niece so figured I'd give it a go. Probably some bits 12 year olds shouldn't be reading but sure look.

    I'm hooked. It's the usual predictable love triangle, female lead must overcome and save the world sort of thing but I'm enjoying it and it's been a while since I felt compelled to put down my phone and read my book rather than doing it as a chore.

    Watched The Rig Season 2 on prime. It's as good as season 1. In other words, it's one for sci fi fans only.

    On the good list is Slow Horses. We were late to this but it is excellent.

    Finished day of the jackal tonight. Excellent television.

    I'm very late to the 2 Johnnies Podcast - but I'm just listening to the first two parts of the GAA Catfish. Christ on a bike, it's batsh*t crazy!
