I googled it today and found you can watch it on Daily Motion. Still beautiful and brilliant if you missed it first time around.

Finished The Last of Us last week. Proper gut punch final episode, I hadn't played the game so it was largely a surprise, although I had an inkling. Thought the whole series was brilliant, looking forward to series 2 next year. Episode 3, Long Long Time, was up there with the best hours of television I have ever seen.
I agree it's not elite TV actually, it's not an all time series but that episode 3 is. Agree re the character development, I thought there were several weak episodes, the mall one especially. But the last two and the 3rd were so good maybe I can let it off!Wish I'd played the game but I think it might be a bit late now. I am studiously resisting too much googling around the storyline to avoid spoilers!Re the infected, I think they were caught between a rock and hard place really. Too many interactions and it becomes a by the numbers zombie series (walking dead etc), too few and it feels like a missed opportunity. I wanted to know more about those triceratops like infected that came out of the hole in episode 4 or 5!
Colin from AccountsAustralian comedy showing on BBC. Only watched first two episodes but it’s very good so far.
blue lights on iPlayer. Police drama in Northern Ireland, I'd recommend it. pretty dramatic but witty.
Succession - I’m currently on S3 and it’s as good as everyone says. Very very sharp and funny dialogue and first rate acting. So many fantastic lines coming at you every minute. Media tycoon Logan Roy is of course a monster, in fact so are his children and most of his flunkies. First time around the hideousness of the milieu put me off after the first episode, but it’s worth persevering with. The main weakness is that the show revolves around the same basic question - which child gets to run Logan’s empire when he’s gone - so sometimes it feels like an endless game of musical chairs.
Jury Duty - fairly unusual mockumentary premise, with an excellent pay off. If nothing else a triumph of logistical TV planning (if that doesn't make it sound too dull).
I can't believe this has received so little discussion here. I think it deserves all the plaudits. More than anything, it's just a huge amound of fun. I think SE4 was the best Sean. The structure, each episode one of ten consecutive days, makes it much tauter. I don't envy you trying to avoid spoilers for however long its going to take you to get to the end.

Plus one to this - takes an episode or two to get going, but once you're into it it's really good.I've just rewatched True Detective S1 as well, forgotten quite how good it is. I started S2 last night and it's not as good, but I'm gonna persevere with it.
