'Brody' has signed up on a massive contract for series 3,4, and 5! How on earth the plot can last that long I have no idea?!?


However, excellent tips on Damages having extra series....loved 1 and 2.


Other guilty box-set pleasures have been 'The Unit', think Desperate Houswewives meet SAS action.

Hmmm....now I love DH so might just have to check out 'The Unit'.


Whilst t'other side of the pond is producing some great writing, it's sad to see Uk screenwriting descend into ham. The new fashion seems to be period drama soap opera (Downton and The Paradise spring to mind). Lark Rise to Candleford has much to answer for.

Loving Homeland too but have to say didn't go with the bit where Brody was taking the tailor to the safe house and ended up killing him. Surely, if Brody was about to speak at some glamorous political fund raiser the terrorists could have found someone else to deal with the tailor. Also the tailor falling on the spike in the wood - of all the spikes in all the woods. I thought for a minute they were going to run into the Walking Dead Zombies (fab too).


Am I too involved?


Oh and is the new surveillance guy (brought in to oversee last wk's Brody following and capture) a goody or a bady?


Good to see a smattering of fab British actors with lead roles in both dramas - once I've got over their accents.

Having watched the season finale on beeb 3 this week you could do worse than watch Lilyhammer.

A one dimensional send-up of The Sopranos it may have been, but it had a good script and a whole host of fine comic turns.


Steven Van Zandt provided much of the comedy in the sopranos, and hones Silvios character to comedy perfection here, but the supporting cast are absolutely impeccable most notably Trond Aurv?g (yeah, I had to look it up) as his hapless but earnest sidekick who would steal every scene he was in.


Daft as it was it was an absolute joy.

    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
