Has anyone watched HBO's "The Leftovers"?


We're 3 or 4 episodes from the end, and I think it's both brilliant, and about the most bleak thing I've ever watched.


Rather than the usual apocolypse type thing where only a handful remain, this is about a strange event that takes 2% of the world's population away in the blink of an eye, and how those remaining deal with that. Anyway, I recommend it.


Although if the last 3 episodes turn out shit, I reserve the right to unrecommend.

You're right about War & Peace, though I did enjoy it, especially having read the book a few years back. Think I'm definitely going to enjoy The Night Manager far more though. Who'd ever thought Hugh Lawrie could ever play such nasty piece of work. I shall be glued to this one.

So SHE'S the one.


The only show I am perversely glued to atm is Beowulf - pure WTF TV. Just when you think they can't make it any more ridiculous/absurd/f^cking-dreadful they spring another surprise.


Watching actors grit their teeth and try not to look appalled as the realisation of what they have done to their careers sinks in episode by episode is quite moving, "They told me it was going to be another Game of Thrones...!"

Flowers was hit and miss, moving and involving then clich?d and predictable; some characters too 2D to be real others painfully so (and a smattering of the, now not unexpected, surreal characters like those in Toast-of-London - I thought the neighbour WAS Ray bloody Purchase for a second).


I kept dithering over whether i really liked it or not right up until the end of the final episode. I just hope there'll be more of it so i can try and make a decision or at least have a longer dither.


Best tv for quite a while.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
