If you have Disney Plus then I’d recommend The Mandalorian. I’m not a massive Star Wars fan but I did enjoy it.

Well I've started Seinfeld recently (shamefully never watched it before!) and I'm HOOKED. It's so, so funny!

9 long series to get through too - can't wait.

This is a classic show, the best is series 4 where it really takes off. If you haven't already watched it then watch Episode 11 'The Contest' it is disgusting but brilliant...

I’m only half way through series 3 so I’ll get there eventually. Great that from this series there’s a LOT of episodes each time.

I just love it. Been one of those shows that I’ve always heard of but never saw and relegated it to the same type of thing as “Friends” (which I’m not a fan of shamefully) before giving it a chance. I think I just love that it’s so mundane and pointless yet so funny regardless.

It's brilliant and nothing like 'Friends' but I think people assume that because its an american sitcom from the 90's but it's sooo much better. Keep an eye on Kramer cos his character just keeps getting more and more bonkers... and when George starts referring to himself in the third person it's just hysterical

A lot of my favourites mentioned; The Fall, Big Little Lies, Haunting of Hill House (although I thought Bly Manor was nowhere near as good) Line of Duty, The Undoing.

We actually started Afterlife last night.. it’s a wee bit depressing tbh

Will definitely have a look at I May Destroy You and Pose 😊

Afterlife is very good so bear with it.

The Fall
The Crown
The Queens Gambit we are watching now...
