Has anyone started watching Pluribus yet? The new series from Vince Gilligan, such a great idea for a show (and appealing to my delicate sensibilities, so far less violent than Breaking Bad) https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/07/pluribus-review-breaking-bad-creators-tv-show-apple-tv
I'm also watching All Her Fault which two episodes in is gripping. The rate I normally egt to watch TV it'll be Christmas next year by time I finish it but still https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/nov/07/all-her-fault-review-sarah-snook-andrea-mara
I've watched to first two of Pluribus - a very interesting concept.
I occasionally like a bit of comedy so GB News coverage of 'BBC Bias' was absolute comedy gold.
It's laughable isn't it
I’ve finished Task which was both emotionally draining and bloody exciting and have now caught up with The Outsider which is incredibly gripping with a brilliant cast Completely missed it first time out. I have no idea where it’s going but bloody hell it’s a ride
Watched two or three of the new Emma Thompson vehicle 'Down Cemetery Road'. A fairly 'by the numbers' conspiracy intrigue. She's trying too hard to be Jackson Lamb but there were a couple of nice twists/reveals
Been gripped by The Wall: The Orchard (More 4 - stream on Channel 4 ex All4). Third series of French Canadian crime drama,
Finished Channel 4's Trespasses the other day and I really enjoyed that.
Vince Gilligan wrote some of the very best X-Files episodes and I loved Breaking Bad, so I really need to check out Pluribus.
I'm one episode in of The Beast in Me on Netflix and I like it so far. Claire Danes is fantastic, as is Matthew Rhys (The Americans has to be one of my favourite series' ever and I urge anyone who hasn't seen it to check it out).
As far as week-by-week shows go, I've been watching The Chair Company, which I think is really funny and well written, and IT: Welcome to Derry, which is fun if you like horror and Stephen King.
Thanks for the recommendations Helen. I couldn't get on with the Chair Company in the end although I know most people who've watched it loved it.
I'm particularly looking forward to Series 2 of 'Man On The Inside', which is scheduled to launch tomorrow (20th November) on Netflix. The first series starred Ted Danson as a pensioner who decides to spice up retirement, and supplement his income, by taking a job as a private investigator, to infiltrate an old people's home and find out who has been stealing jewellery. In the second series, he's set to go undercover as a Professor in a College. I'm hoping it will be as good as the first series, which really was excellent. Genuinely funny while making some valid observations about assumptions society often makes about older people.
It won't change anyone's life, and it is shot through a rose-tinted lens, but the first series is well worth your time, and I'm hoping the second series will be too.
Just finished Season 2 of "Alice In Borderland" which is a Japanese hi-tech/game playing/sci-fi sort of thing with a dollop of philosophy thrown in. Sort of "Squid Games" although it predates that. Complicated but rewarding in parts.
