The early seasons are much more like a legal drama, to be expected I suppose as it is about a lawyer!

Got a lot of episodes left to watch but a low key interesting series. I'm really enjoying it, couple of episodes a week (more and it might get a bit "samey").

The Hack: although I'll concede that it very much appeals to Brits of a certain age, I absolutely loved it. They managed to turn what could have been a dry 6 hours into an absorbing and funny yarn. You could tell by the breadth and quality of the cast how many people wanted this to succeed.
Strangely, the Guardian gave it 2 stars. Maybe the reviewer wants to work for News Corp in the future.

Andor, seasons 1 & 2. Despite not being a huge Star Wars fan recently revisted my youth and watched the first 3 films, The Empire Strikes Back was definitely the best (just IMHO), then Star Wars, thought Return of The Jedi was pretty lame to be honest. Remember thinking The Phantom Menace was trash so never bothered with that. Did like Rogue One though, haven't watched any others. Should've really watched Andor before Rogue One though. Andor is pretty good, even if your not a huge Star Wars fan like myself it's a really worthwhile watch. A lot deeper than the 3 films, lot to do with politics etc.
Might watch the animated series Clone Wars as I've read that this really good. Was never really a huge fan of anime, but after watching Arcane League Of Legends, which was fantastic, I'll give more of it a go these days.

Second episode of All Creatures Great & Small, over Thursday & Friday evenings (on early-turns, so went to bed at 21:30)
Amusing to see Siegfried, doing a 'walk of shame', or as close as a (just) post WW2 sensibility allowed
Sister Rose; an interesting addition, & I hope she stays in the series, for a couple of episodes
I could be wrong, but would there have been any Caribbean Nurses in that era (unless ex military?) & at that level?

Mapp & Lucia. Vintage entertainment. Not something I thought I'd ever entertain but found it really enjoyable. It's just finished on freeview rewind

It’s based on a Belgian tv series of the same name.

I don't think it matters if you watch Rogue One or Andor first, they enhance each other so much that both are better after you've seen one. Andor is fantastic, at times you wouldn't even think it's a Star Wars series as it's so political/spy orientated. It's also devastating in terms of emotionally ruining you.
Clone Wars animated series I've been watchinging slowly through for a while, personally I think the much older Clone Wars short series is better but that's harder to find.

Andor and rogue one are the best of the franchise for me and i would agree empire is the best of the whole lot of "main story " films with the ruddy ewoks making a laughing stock of the last , yes i know its aimed at kids but wtf ?
As far as prequels go yes phantom was a bit rubbish with the middle one a bit better and the last one is worth a watch for the fall of anakin .Dont get me started on the sequels ! i found them really bad especially the last one .

Just given-up of the TV Series Jack Ryan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ryan_(TV_series)
1/10
Predictable, obvious, bland.
But worst of all is the lead actor, no expression, bit like a plastic dummy. Same expression through entore series, pursed lips, expressionless.
Stuck at it through the entire 1st series but could not face the following series as I got some paint to watch drying.

Maybe it doesn't matter what order you watch Andor or Rogue One. But after watching Rogue One first, whilst watching Andor, I couldn't help thinking that I know that the main character is going to die after this, after helping to up-loading the plans of the death star (in Rogue One) that are used in Star Wars A New Hope. Still it didn't really matter as there's so much more to Andor. I'll try and get hold of the older Clone Wars that you mention thanks.

Sorry about that. There is no spoiler covering on this site as far as I'm aware like Avforums. Just thought most Star Wars fans would've watched Rogue One (2016) before watching the later Andor TV series. Just as Rogue One was made way later than the 3 original movies, but happened before all 3. I'm sure on the internet they'll be information for somebody that has never watched any of the films or Andor the chronological order will be available. I'm not a real fan anyway, Andor is way deeper than all the films. Would recommend it to somebody that has no interest in the films at all to be honest. Would imagine the Star Wars label might be off-putting to some people, shouldn't be though as it's nothing at all like the original 3 films. or that Jar Jar Binks sh**e.
