Yeah I’m enjoying it 5 episodes in. Kerri Russell is good but she was absolutely brilliant in The Americans; which IMHO is one of the most outstanding tv series ever made. Absolutely brilliant show.

Agree with all of that. Why The Americans doesn't get mentioned in greatest TV series I'll never know. The Wire, Breaking Bad, Sopranos and now Succession seem to be the only ones mentioned.
For those into the Tour De France, there's a Drive to Survive style documentary on Netflix that is interesting viewing. Not the most insightful thing ever made but gives a bit of a glimpse behind the scenes, Aussie Ben O'Connor features a bit and maybe doesn't come across so well.
I'm ticking one off the bucket list and heading over tonight to do a riding tour of the Tour, riding some or all of each stage. Haven't been on a road bike for 25 years before starting to train, *smile* hate cyclists and my arse feels like a alter boy, but I vow and declare I won't be taking the e-bike option.

Just finished watching 'Strike' on Binge based on the Robert Galbraith books, (who turned out to be a non de plume of JK Rowling)
Enjoyed it, action a few laughs, and good stories.

Rabbit hole with Kiefer Sutherland (of 24 fame) is not bad. He acts by whispering all his lines, but if you can get past that, there are enough twists to keep it interesting.
Only watched ep 1 so far. Very enjoyable, "Joan is awful" was a great concept.
agree. it started off well, but they seemed in a big hurry to wrap it up
I didnt really buy that the FBI bought the "Gene Cousineau did it" story.
I did like how he wacked Barry though. Props to the actress who played Sally.
So many things I didn't buy/like. First off, how did Barry get out of prison? He was still in the secure area of the prison, they just yada-yada'd it. And there's no way Sally would have gone with him. Why? Why would she? Did she lose her mind? Then, when it's set up for the big, tense showdown, they do the '10 years later' *smile*. I *smile* hate that cop-out trick. The Gene bit, as you say. The rush to get it over, as Laz says. And more. Stupid, unbelievable stuff. etc.
Watched the first two episodes last night. Thought it was really good. I have no real interest in cycling but for some reason love watching the Grand Tours; especially Le Tour and the Giro.
5 episodes into 'The Silo' on Apple. Every episode interesting so far. 87%/87% rotten tomatoes is usually a good indicator as to whether ill like something or not.
We’re watching that. Wife loves watching the big tours, and this series is quite good.
