Just finished watching season 1 of Trying which was pretty good and with only 8 30 minute episodes, pretty easy to binge watch!

The Afterparty
I'm on epsiode 4 after discovering this show this morning (couple of season 2 episodes are now available). Murder mystery show - Murder occurs at an ater party following a high school reunion. Season 1 is 8 episodes, each one telling the evening's events from a different perspective, with each episode playing with different genres reflecting the character telling the story. Ep1 was rom com, ep2 more action, ep 3 musical, ep4 thriller.

Having just watched the penultimate episode I fully concur with this opinion!
If you're the person who watching stuff mutters 'well that would never happen', Hijack really isn't for you.
But for everyone else it's rollicking good fun.
These guys also had a fun time watching Hijack - an amusing recap of the final episode (check the time stamp for when Hijack begins)

Thoroughly enjoyed the series

Just finished watching this one. Thought it was excellent, and as always the fact that it’s a true story make it that little but more tense.
Yeah me too.
I'm not really Mr Subtitles so I think the sporadic nature of them really helped me to focus on the show, which then improved the quality.
I've had enough time from series 1 to now go into series 2 but Ive just started Silo instead!
I loved Slow Horses so much I went straight into 2 from 1 which I think was a mistake, and rather cheapened 2, hence giving Tehran time to move away from before returning.
Can’t get into Silo so it’s gone on the back burner.
Don’t know if you have Paramount, but started the Chemical of Death yesterday, very promising
Nah I don't have that - I want it but am lumbered with, The Bear aside, Disney+, as part of the Apple swap deal.
Apple seems to be really getting it's pooh together for mini series' while Paramount appears to have decent back catalogue of films and drama.
Disney has f**k all and The Bear.
Agree again. Disney is actually quite disappointing.

Was thinking of cancelling our AppleTV contract.
Then came across Hijack with Idris Elba. It’s exceptionally good.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
Two episodes available. Series set 'after the fight between Godzilla and the titans' which I presume means after godzilla king of monsters (no idea where it fits with godzilla v kong). Focusing on a family linked to monarch, seems to have a couple of storylines, one set in the past with Wyatt Russell, and one set in the present/near future with Kurt Russell, who so far is tangientially linked to the family (not ruling out a later revelation that he is part of it).
Enjoying it so far. There was an initial monsters thing near the begining linking to Kong Skull Island, and there is a character who keeps having flashbacks to being on the streets during a godzilla attack, but they don't seem to be rushing to, or shoehorning in monsters for the sake of it. So far doing a better job of making you care about the human characters than the movies did.

Disney is more for kids and star wars fans.
We first got it in lockdown for the big Disney releases to watch at home but the kids watch stuff and occasionally we all watch things like only murders in the building.
I just cancelled Apple TV after my free trial. If there is anything I’m desperate to watch I’ll find a way without paying a monthly subscription for another service.

Great news, S5 on the cards. In the meantime, here's the trailer for S4.
Holy smokes - talking on a specific TV channel thread about a programme on said channel, that'll never catch on.
Anyhoo.
Here's a pod with the Slow Horses show runner lots of talk around the whole show arc.
