Yep also The Bay and others (although need to grab the repack for Ep.3), PH wants to wait for Ep.6 :D
I watched four eps. and definitely very good.

There is definitely a problem with episode numbers on the download sites, the episode 5 posted by two release groups so far looks to be ep.6 (refers to events I didn't see in ep.4), so I didn't watch it. Same was true for for Ep.3 although the 'repack' of 3 is fine. Looks like the groups have rushed this release.

Better to wait a few days I think.
Has anyone found proper downloads in the right sequence for this yet? Started it yesterday and mine (MeGusta versions which are usually spot on) are all over the place.

In the meantime, Silo is now airing season 2 and Dune Prophecy has just started.

I grabbed releases from different groups last week for eps. 1-5 (file sizes between 1GB and 2GB) and sorted it out before watching the third ep.. I was busy since so didn't get ep.6 yet.

The ELiTE releases were mostly the best.

I gave up on Day of the Jackal, its all over the place ... every episode starts with a recap of stuff I haven't seen in the previous ones. Maybe its by design if that's how Forsyth wrote it, may try again later with a full season repack. Lioness season 2 is good though.

Not by design, I managed to get the episodes in order and just downloaded a good Ep 7.

Arcane won't do it for me as animated TV series leave me cold (as League of Legends does). My bad I guess!

The first episode of Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light has just dropped. If you enjoyed the first series Wolf Hall this is reported to be even better.

Not a series but I really enjoyed Firebrand(2023) starring the delicious Alicia Vikander. Very similar to the Wolf Hall series with all the Court intrigue. Jude Law as Henry 8 was unrecognizable.

In blood-soaked Tudor England, Katherine Parr, the sixth and last wife of King Henry VIII, is named Regent while tyrant Henry is fighting overseas. Katherine has done everything she can to push for a new future based on her radical Protestant beliefs. When an increasingly ailing and paranoid King returns, he turns his fury on the radicals, charging Katherine's childhood friend with treason and burns her at the stake. Horrified and grieving, but forced to deny it, Katherine finds herself fighting for her own survival. Conspiracy reverberates through the palace. Everyone holds their breath - for the queen to slip up, for Henry to take her head like wives before. With the hope for a future free of tyranny at risk, will Katherine submit to the inevitable for the sake of King and country? imdb

Care to share? MeGusta and ELITE versions are all over the shop, I've only seen 3 episodes and haven't a clue whats going on!

Maybe a full-season TV pack when it's aired is the way to go with this one.

Er, not sure I can watch a 480p on a 65" TV, my eyes are bad enough as it is! Thanks, but will wait for the season TV pack, plenty of stuff to watch in the meantime!

I watched all in 720/1080p, I downloaded maybe 4-5 wrong eps after ep.2 but sorted it from the 'previously' clips at the start. I had all MeGusta and ELiTE files I think, but deleted now.

Watched the first episode of Generation Z. Seems to be about a chemical spillage and OAP's turning into bloodthirsty savages and going on the rampage. Shonky science fiction basis to it - some virus has escaped from a lab near some care homes.

Well, it seems mostly: old people had all the money and f*cked the country. Old people voted for Brexit. Middle-aged people trying to hold it together. Young people buying and taking drugs but worrying about their parents' financial situation and offering them money. And so on ... politics to the fore.

! was going to try the second episode but I've decided no. The writing is trite and characters shallow anyway. So I guess this is a warning rather than a recommendation.

I've found over recent years I like Australia TV comedy series. Barry started me off a way back and I've gone from there.

I'm just watching the 2022 Colin From Accounts. It's not about an accountant. The Aussie brand of humour is very like British humour of a few years ago; self-effacing but not in a cringing US way, and where it raises 'woke' issues treats them neither obeisantly nor aggressively, but with side-eye. Honest earthy humour.

You should be delighted (and very lucky) that you're not experiencing "Rachel from Accounts" as we are in the UK.... :cuss: :banghead:

But anywho....

Just landed on the BBC, is Season 2 of "SAS: Rogue Heroes" :thumb: As is the norm, I'm going to wait until I can "Binge"! Just the 6 Episodes I guess, and I may just re-watch the first Season beforehand....
