The Tinkers daughter wasn’t much of an actress either. I think she finished up on Fair City!

She wasn’t allowed on a bastion of acting quality like Fair City.

I think she was in Glenroe.

Silent Witness has been a guilty pleasure of Mrs Jones and I for years, the latest series has pretty much disappeared up it’s own hole though

I heard Mick Lally being interviewed on radio one time talking about his early acting days when money was really scarce and he came out with the immortal line.

'There is no shame in poverty, but it’s an awful fucking inconvenience!

That season four finale of Industry was good. Overall I probably enjoyed other seasons more when it was more office based or trading floor based but you have to admire the evolution of the show. There’s one season left and they’ve a chance to create a really great TV show here with a lasting legacy if they nail it. It’s all set up for them now and they’ve form for doing everything well. I’d like to see the arc at least 50% follow Whitney on the course he took.

He’s have been a bit auld at the time to be running off with the tinkers daughter.

This was a Hollywood film.

I have half the final episode left… but while i agree it was a bit better when focusing on the office dynamics and character friction- you cant make a show about money without covering those who pull the strings at the top.
They’ve revealed a layer each season and now we’ll surely see the illuminati unmasked :grinning:

But it’s enjoyable fare all the same

Although now I remember he slipped it into Fidelma lively enough in Glenroe.

I completed a Lost rewatch recently, it has been ongoing for a while. I really enjoyed it at the time but like most felt let down by the final season overall.

The rewatch wasn’t really planned as a start to finish job, I really just wanted to rewatch ‘The Constant’ but said I’d rewatch the Pilot first as it still is regarded as one of the greatest Pilots of all time. But after the Pilot, I watched another, and another and so it went.

Perhaps it’s the different stage of life I’m at now, ones age, ones mortality, children and more importantly our parents, but I absolutely loved it. Even the final season, with all its flaws, held up imo. Fuck it, I even enjoyed the finale.

I’d put it Top 5 of all time. A brilliant show, obviously with its flaws, but Jesus it’s high points, emotional arcs, they are utterly sublime.

Lots of favourites but it’ll always be Desmond I think.

Blitzed through The Shield in maybe six months there. There were a few seasons where it dipped a little but the final season was top notch. Fantastic finale as well, which was directed by Clark Johnson, who directed lots of episodes of The Wire and played Gus in the final season of it. Johnson makes a small cameo towards the end of the finale too.

The Shield is a great show.

The Pitt is having a fantastic second season. Feel like it’s bubbling nicely for an absolutely mental climax.

I think it’s being released in two tranches a few months apart? I’ve a feeling i read something like that before

10 months in storyline between season 1 and 2. Each season covers a single day shift. Kinda keeps it fresh imo.
