How about Shogun, DLR?

We’re doing the Morning Show. Had been putting it off because we didn’t believe the hype. But it’s good. Not brilliant, but good.

Sunny on Apple+ has a premise so ridiculous you wouldn’t imagine it ever being anything other than awful, yet against all odds has been brilliant so far

Sunny review – this robot-fuelled comedy thriller sounds crap … and is actually excellent | Television | The Guardian
Rashida Jones’s show about a grief-stricken woman and a mechanoid is confident, quirky TV that doesn’t put a foot wrong – even if its synopsis is dire

TV is dreadful at the moment.
Best things I've seen are Spent on BBC and Queenie on channel 4 or ITV, but not sure either of these are your sort of thing.
I saw there's a new series of Mayor of Kingstown on Prime, definitely watchable.
Other than that the sports documentaries are where it's at.

That sounds good. I’ve liked a lot of Aussie stuff. Mr Inbetween, Colin from Accounts, Fisk. Will check it out.
It's been mentioned already on this thread but Deadloch (on Prime) is good if you've not already seen it. Aussie feminist noir comedy whodunnit thing.

Maybe I need to give the latter two shows another go. But I have found them massively underwhelming if not necessarily bad. Certainly not living up to the universes they are spinning off from. I don’t know if it’s the time span gap or something else, but when you compare it to, say Better Call Saul as a spinoff of Breaking Bad, it feels like a massive disservice to their mother series.
As far as Game of Thrones goes, a chronologically close prequel or sequel featuring one or several of the main characters would have been a mouthwatering prospect. Or even as an insert within the timeline of GoT (like Rogue One is to the Star Wars universe). Even if you know both main characters will survive unscathed because you see them later on in GoT, imagine a spinoff miniseries featuring the previously untold adventures of Tyrion Lannister and Bronn. I’d watch that all day long and even if it was a poor script their very presence would make it worth it.

I've checked and Bay of Fires hadn't been mentioned here till I posted, but what had been mentioned was Dark Rivers, a German series with a similar premise (witness protection placement in the arse and of nowhere)
Anyway yeah, both very good. Bay of Fires is funnier though, or at least is meant partly as comedy, whereas Dark Rivers is more straight drama/thriller.

Definitely give it a go if you liked CfA, and Fisk.

Will do!
I’m enjoying the Morning Show, btw. It’s got into its stride, and I’m now marking it better than just good.

They kicked up a fuss about people protesting about the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill chanting “kill the bill”, so they’re known for being touchy.Not seen it but i read the police federation kicked up a fuss about the title

Two episodes (back to back) into The Bear and it's terrific.

One small step for me
Cowboy Cartel, Apple documentary mini-series about the investigation by US agencies that brought down the Mexican Zatas cartel's money laundering operation thru American horse racing. Told by the team that did it. Sadly there's only 4 parts - I wished there'd been more.

I just finished watching Constellation. Quantum psychological brooding weirdness. Not bad at all. Some space scenes.

We watched quite a few episodes of The Bear last night. Not the type of thing I'd normally watch, but really enjoyed it.

I'm enjoying this so thanks for that. And it's free if you have Prime.
