Started watching "The Spy" on netflix. Good so far, and it is interesting to see Sacha Baron Cohen playing a non-comedic role. Also watching Season 3 of The Crown. The new cast are fantastic.

Sacha Baron Cohen is the most amazing man...The Spy was incredible. He was brilliant. He sort of fascinates because he is just so manic in other things...and I have to turn him off sometimes - but not The Spy...well worth the watch.

I'm enjoying it as a history recap for me - I was a young boy when Aberfan happened for example, and it's interesting to be reminded of the details - but I don't feel it has the same impact as the previous seasons. Season 1 was fantastic; season 2, ok. I'm only up to episode 4 or 5 with this latest season but so far, it doesn't have the magic of the prior two. But I will watch it all the same!

I started watching a series from 25 years ago called ‘Our friends in the North’ I’d heard it mentioned several times but never knew what it was about.
So many well known actors/actresses including a much younger Daniel Craig

That was pretty big in its day. I never watched it...back then I preferred movies whereas now, much of TV is the new movies.

25 years ago, wow, now I feel really old! Loved the series when it first came out, and think I need to re-watch it.
