  • The Hunt for Raoul Moat, Barry, the Lewis Capaldi documentary and more

    Things are much more positive on the show this week - we share a plethora of different programmes we've all been watching from French film to UK drama, American comedy and cross-continental crime series. Steven was marking the 30th anniversary of the three colours trilogy by watching them all. Alex has been watching Barry about a contract killer who decides to reform via the power of a community theatre group. Kelly tells us about The Hunt for Raoul Moat and the Lewis Capaldi documentary, How I'm Feeling Now.


    On the deep dive this week Alex takes us through the new Netflix drama The Diplomat. Steven goes back to the future with Freaks and Geeks.

  • That episode of Succession, Mario Bros, Happy Valley, Jury Duty and Obsession

    This week the team is reunited and what we've been watching is wide and varied with similar reviews. Alex tells us about Jury Duty, Steven has finished Happy Valley and it's great to see his enthusiasm for a series go unbridled. Kelly started lots of things like Waco: An American Apocalypse but was most excited about Mario Bros. This conversation could not have gone ahead without, of course, a discussion of 'that' episode of Succession.
