My memories terrible, I’m not putting it down to old age just yet, I’m only 44 after all!!

It’s a great conversation talking about what you’ve watched with friends, the issue I have though is remembering what we’ve watched. So this list is more for me to remember what’s we’ve watched and I hope you take some inspiration if you need something to fill your afternoon

I’ve not rated the as everyone has different tastes, I have popped a link to the trailer and noted which Chanel/streaming service we watched it on at the time.

In no partiucular order

The Girlfriend - Really nice to see Robin Wright back on our screen, who we know from House of Cards - Another great watch! The Girlfriend follows the relashionship between a mummy’s boy Mother and girlfriend ofgther showing how each party interpreted key interactions. We watched this on Amazon TV.

The Radio times review headline was - Robin Wrights thriller is was Gleefully deranged

The White Lotus - If youve not heard of this....get out from under your stone! We loved season 1 & 2 with the caracter .Tanya McQuiod which is played by Jennier Coolidge is one of only a very small handful of caracters that follow on from the 1st season in to the 2nd. Controvercially Tanya is not carried in to seson, BIG MISTAKE, HUGE MASSIVE! As Jennifer won to Emmy awards for playing this role.

We've lost intrest in seson 3 and not even finished it. 1 & 2 though - Must watch on Now TV!

Great article about Jennifers role.

Skys review was spot on -The White Lotus proved to be one of the most surprising hits of 2021

This City is Ours - This is possibly the best thing weve watched this year. UK made crime family based in Liverpool with a fabulous cast, and season 2 has already been comminsioned. Will be intresting how they make something as good as season 1.

Superb crime thriller of betail and shifting loyalties say the Telegraph

Available on the BBC Player

Succession - Was reportly loosly based on the Merdock and Maxwell familys who both have/had huge media empirs. Jesse Armstrong who created the series said that inspiration was drawn from these families but not based on!

Four season, all excellent and worth of a weekend binge!
