This week I have mainly been watching

Found ‘The city is ours’ ok. Not exactly ‘Love/Hate’ levels of standard though.

‘Gangs of London’ started reasonably but I’m considering giving up - s2 is just stupid.

Just finished Loudermilk.
Don’t normally watch “new” comedy especially American, but, thought it was really good.
Just a pity that it doesn’t look like they will be making another series. 🙁

I wonder if they will include the gangland execution of John Palmer at the end of the second series ?

I’d say yes, I think his murder was on crime watch and they didn’t receive any calls , that ain’t me being daft but I may be wrong ? It’s something that has a curse to it they say but really it’s revenge with people double crossing at their peril . It’s strange how it all began with the gang going after pesetas and getting lucky or not !. I like the bits they throw in for dramatic purposes ie mr arris and mr coopers chats were great. Played by Sean harrris and Dominic cooper, liked mr cooper for dumping his orid wife and her snooty family and going into the sun with a real women 👍

Palmer regularly could be seen flying in and out of Tenerife in his private helicopter.
I’m a bit surprised that he wasn’t bumped off while he was there, while running his highly corrupt timeshare business.

The first series gave that impression, gold finger etc
 
Talking of watching telly, I got a new one last year, and like the one before, the sound is shite. I cant make out all the voice, so turn it up, as soon as music or gunshot, etc come on, it blows my ears out!

Get a sound bar. Difference is phenomenal. Mine came with a bar for under the telly and a separate sub-woofer.
When you see how thick TVs are is it any surprise the sound is shite?

Not taking Mick mate, but I found that in the early days of hearing going maybe an idea to go for a check up. Hope your ears are okay and you can also try what Hackney recommends above.

I tried that with the old telly, it wasnt much better.Maybe I set it up wrong. I ve got a mate with a TV shop, Ill see what he says. Must admit, if I use headphones, its fine. 👍🏻

My hearing is crap, Pops. But I dont think this is unusual with modern digital TV’s.

It don't help that so many actors whisper the words these days although been watching my old Dallas DVDs and Patrick Duffy was doing it 40 years ago it's so bloody annoying
 
I have to watch Casualty with the subtitles on because I just can't tell what they're saying,other programmes are mostly fine although sometimes when i change channels the volume can go higher or lower, I blame the sound engineers.

Just caught up and finished 'This City is Ours' (watched last three episodes back to back last night).

I thought it was very good - great cast.

Storylines were very different to the usual crime/gangland stuff due to the way a number of characters vulnerabilities were exposed - especially what in effect is a love story between Micheal and Diane.

Now need to search on Netflix and iPlayer for the next TV fix. Probably go back to Yellowstone - first 2-3 episodes haven't hooked me yet.
