The producers scored with Matt Fitzpatrick winning the U.S. Open in dramatic fashion. They take us inside the post-victory celebration but it all appeared a little too tame. Will some viewers come away thinking golfers are too boring other than flying everywhere in private jets? The chances are good.
Episode 6 contained some of the best and worst of the show. On the one hand, Tony Finau is going to get nominated for Father of the Year. Both his rags-to-riches story and trying to find the right work-life balance is going to be very relatable. I loved seeing the golf-ball-sized dents in the garage door where Tony and his brother used to hit balls into a mattress in front of it. That visual was cool. Already one of the most popular players, Finau is going to add a whole new fan base. But the Collin Morikawa section of this episode felt very flat and it failed to add anything new about one of the rising stars in golf other than that he wears olive pants.
Like the movie, the core conceit of The Gentleman is marijuana farms being built under the land of stately homes in England; the farms are kept out of sight, and cash-strapped landed gentry get money to keep their estate running.
However, none of these have enough time to have much impact. Outside of a scene-chewing performance by actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz as a brutal Scouse gangster with a warped sense of justice, other elements of The Gentleman feel slightly undercooked.
The Liverpudlian gang seems set up to be an amusing adversary to the Duke and Glass, especially given its leader, The Gospel, has a chilling habit of preaching scripture while dispatching his victims. However, the potential for a story to bloom here, complete with darkly amusing deaths, never takes root.
Yet when the metaphorical final curtain landed on The Gentlemen, I felt a tad unsatiated. Pacing aside, it felt like The Gentlemen was missing a killer hook, likely because Hugh Grant isn't playing a seedy cockney private detective who steals every scene.

When not at his desk Roland can be found wandering around London, often with a look of curiosity on his face and a nose for food markets.
Mindhunter on Netflix is my favorite show. "Set in the late 1970s, two FBI agents are tasked with interviewing serial killers to solve open cases."
David Fincher (director of Seven, Zodiac, Fight Club) directed a bunch of the episodes. Highly recommend it.
Second on Mindhunter, also enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House as a horror show on Netflix. For comedies, Master of None, Big Mouth, I Think You Should Leave, BoJack Horseman, and the Wet Hot American Summer First Day of Camp prequel (but not the 10 Years Later series). Amazon I enjoyed Fleabeag and Catastrophe.
I have tried so many shows on both and none of them are any good. Too predictable, woke, pandering, and with poor writing and acting. I am shocked that some of this stuff got made and even more surprised that they get any recognition (Jake Ryan, Black Mirror, Narcos, etc.).

This medieval series is quite unlike anything on Netflix, with a sharp comedic tone which surely makes it worth a watch, if just out of intrigue. The series is set in 1348, and follows a group of Italian nobles and their servants as they flee the cities to escape Black Death. However, as social rules start to crumble, their new haven turns into the stuff of nightmares.
Starring Zosia Mamet, Saoirse-Monica Jackson and Jessica Plummer, among a larger ensemble cast, the series was loosely inspired by the creator's response to the COVID pandemic, and viewers may find it works to mixed effect, with some elements feeling underdeveloped.
Netflix have long proven that as well as a dearth of original content to get through, it's a great place to watch shows that may have gone under the radar for many. This 2020 drama was an emotional talking point when it was initially released on ITV but now, with it being available on the streamer, many more people will undoubtedly be left heartbroken over the tragic events catalogued in the series.
At only two episodes long, Honour isn't a lengthy watch like many series but two episodes is enough to go on a saddening rollercoaster of emotions as we see the events around Banaz Mahmod's murder and the pursuit of justice for her killers unfold. Keeley Hawes and Rhianne Barreto deliver captivating performances as DCI Caroline Goode and Banaz's older sister Bekhal Mahmod respectively, with the series shining an all-important light on honour-based abuse. - Morgan Cormack

Cole's Michael, who is zapped into the future on the night of his engagement, believes he can save the life of his fiance if he brings the group of five together.
Viewers may be feeling some superhero fatigue, but Supacell cuts right through that, telling a story which feels wholly unique and using the genre the explore themes around race and power, while also feeling truly authentic and specific to its time and place. - James Hibbs
The series from Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin follows the Brockman family as the children grow up, and stars Hugh Dennis, Claire Skinner, Tyger Drew-Honey, Daniel Roche and Ramona Marquez. It is perhaps best-known for its approach, which saw the two youngest children improvising, while the others used scripted lines.
It's a consistently funny, frequently relatable sitcom which manages to retain its strength and comedic style even as it has to naturally shift and change with the children's ages. - James Hibbs
This new six-part all-access documentary series follows elite athletes from all over the world, looking at their psyches and the mental toughness they need in order to devote their entire lives to professional sprinting. The first season features the likes of Sha'Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, Shericka Jackson, Zharnel Hughes and more.
The series works well as a warm-up to this Summer's Olympics, getting viewers in the mood for athletics on the world stage, while also providing a greater insight into the sport than is usually seen. As with most Netflix documentaries, the series is glossy and well-produced, even if it might not get quite as deep under the hood of the athletes' mentalities as some might hope for. - James Hibbs
Nevertheless, the sci-fi series is back for more adventures, jokes and some existential crises. There are also some pretty big twists on the horizon in this new series, but the show continues to deliver its usual dose of chaos while proving why it is such a comfort show for many. - Morgan Cormack
First to meet her match was Daphne, played by Phoebe Dynevor, who started a fake love affair with the smouldering Duke of Hastings, aka breakout star and potential Bond Reg-Jean Page, while season 2 saw the focus shift to Anthony Bridgerton and his relationship with new character Kate Sharma.
