Anyone watched Vikings? Just started it there the other night and enjoying it so far. For any gamers out there the main guy reminds me an awful lot of Sigurd from Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Didn't get up early enough to fit in all of Flux (got 5 in) and Eve of the Daleks before tonights new episode of Doctor Who (and one and 6 zeros now)

Kicking myself for not starting yesterday

In love with Heartstopper, one of the sweetest, most life affirming and positive series I have watched in like ever.

If only we had TV shows like that when I was growing up. . .

Dennis Waterman who starred in shows such as Minder, The Sweeney and New Tricks has died at the age of 74

He wrote the theme song and sang the theme song and I think we need to take a minute to reflect on that

[Spears]

It's not new (2017) but I've been binging on this and really enjoying it. 

I usually find stuff like this(rape) difficult to watch but the show itself is very good. 
(With some parts being a bit improbable though)

@Spears , I've just finished watching Season One , it's very good.

[Spears]

I've just started season 2! 

Wasn't sure where it was going after the ending of season1, but there's a few interesting twists to think about. 

Really enjoying it 

[E.N.]

Taskmaster kicking off at 9 on ch4. Highly recommend it to anyone. I'm excited for another season. Think Alan Davies and Victoria Coren Mitchell are on

The new series of Taskmaster (not the one nothing referenced above) is back to being brilliant. There's a real chemistry between the contestants, really enjoying it so far

Same! I know Judi Love, Ardal O'Hanlan and Chris Ramsey, didn't know the other 2 ladies, but it's an excellent group! I tend to end up finding new comedians to watch through it

Their youtube channel has all the episodes for free, as well as some of the foreign ones, I think I saw the Norwegian one up there the other day.

[Zaph]

Loving the new series of Taskmaster. Ardal O'Hanlon is so much more like Father Dougal in real life than I ever suspected. I'd heard of Bridget Christie beforehand, but didn't really know anything about her. She's absolutely brilliant. Only one I don't like is Sophie Duker. Not a fan of her stand-up and she hasn't done much so far to change my mind about her.

If anyone is ever looking for foreign Taskmasters to watch, both series of the New Zealand one are absolutely brilliant. You can sign up to TVNZ via VPN and watch them on their website.

Thank you @Necro for spoiler tag

I enjoyed Liar series 1

I'm binging on The Pact, twists turns and enjoyable plus Eddie Marsan a quality actor imho

[E.N.]

Their youtube channel has all the episodes for free...

Is that just there like normal for you?
I've not got it, and have for previous series. I wonder if I've accidentally set my account to UK, or something. Been watching on All4, but then there's ads

[Necro]

Actually finished The Pact there myself last night. Decent watch.

Currently half way through season 1 of The Wilds on Amazon Prime and very much enjoying it so far.

[Zaph]

I think rather than Youtube they're using their own site, Taskmaster.tv, for the new series. But looking at that it just links to All4 anyway.

I'm warming to Sophie now, wasn't too sure at the start. I think she's great at the tasks but seemed a little reserved in studio initially.

I agree about Ardal just being an older Dougal, it's slightly terrifying!

I liked Judi to start but her shtick of just being pissed off by it all is wearing a little thin.

Bridget and Chris are both brilliant. Chris is obviously having a great time, hard not to like that

My mistake, it's all previous series!

It's on Netflix Mam.
It's based on a graphic novel of the same name and it's a coming-of-age love story of two teenage boys.

Only ever watched a few episodes of the first season, never continued. Not sure why as it was pretty good.

The new season seems to be getting rave reviews, I may go and watch it from the beginning at some point.

Yeah I'd recommend getting back into in. 1st season is excellent, 2 & 3 are good but not quite as good and this season is back to season 1 quality IMO

[jp liz v1]

It has given Kate Bush's song Running up that Hill a new fan base and chart hit

I watched series 1 and meant to go back but didn't, seems to be Netflix biggest hit in viewers

Yes. It's a brilliant series 

We've watched all seasons (multiple times here) and binged on season 4 the weekend it came out.

Loved the twist that comes out in this season. Can't wait for the second part in July ..
