Just a heads up
If you happen to be a Sky VIP customer (sort of a long service medal)
They're giving a 6 month free Apple TV sub.
I'll be signing up later on.

You have to watch Severance and Ted Lasso!

Sign in with your Apple ID
Which I haven't used for 5 years, not being a fan boy.
Go through the whole rigmarole of rescuing it, new security questions, endless idiot codes and finally 'read terms and conditions then click agree'

There is no ****ing agree box. 🤬🤬🤬

When I eventually sort this out.
Top of my list is Strange New World and probably Prehistoric Planet
Severance looks interesting but I confess I've never found Ted Lasso sparked any interest.

Sorry, that's Paramount+

Need another subscription for that (there is a 7-day free trial, though)

As for AppleTV+, get Five Days at Memorial on your list.

Masters of the Air coming soon as well.

I had two consecutive 3 month trials and I've today started a 5 month trial with Barclaycard. This is easy to miss if anyone reading this happens to be a Barclaycard user: after logging off from Barclaycard website via computer browser, you are given several Apple offers incl. AppleTV - you may well get different offers to me and note that this doesn't work via phone app.

Unpopular opinion: Ted Lass is 'ok'. It's enjoyable enough but I don't really get the huge fuss. The one episode I did really think was great was the Coach Beard 'After Hours' homage.

Severance is definitely worth a go - it was a little bit of a slow burn initially but it's very good. Prehistoric Planet is excellent and you should definitely watch Slow Horses (both series) as I reckon this is right up your street. Loved it.

As a left-field recommendation (that you didn't ask for...) is the superb comedy The Last Man on Earth. This started in 2015 and the storyline is that a virus wipes out the human race in 2020... Apart from the prescience of the setup, this has one of the best comedy characters in Will 'Tandy' that I've seen in recent years. Another slow burn that goes off in tangents you wouldn't expect and there are some big name cameos.

Episode one
Yes it is.
Gary Oldman has similar clout with me as Bill Nighy.

Wasn't it just.
Last three episodes (series one) watched back to back.
Very unusual for me.

You're lucky that you've still got one series to go. And then you should watch Bad Sisters...

I notice that there's a new series of Prehistoric Planet coming out this month too.
