I loved the first two series of Sherlock but then it went a bit ludicrous.
Did enjoy Andrew Scott as Moriarty.
Stephen Moffat did the same thing with Doctor Who to a degree, over complicated it all and some of it got very silly. But he wrote some of my favourite stand alone episodes of series 1-4 |

Haha yes, I even had the Max & Paddy exercise DVD. Instead of dumbells they used dildo's 🤣😂

"Monkey Dust
Absolutely love this show. Icarus!
Hahaha! You’re either totally chuckling at that, or haven't got an ‘effin clue.. So, what were you really doing, Clive? "
I know. 😆 It's an incredibly obscure reference (and show lol). I spent the weekend getting tag fucked in a pub toilet. |

"Fleabag
Inside Number 9.
Peep Show
The Thick of It.
Detectorists.
Motherland.
Why do we always have to limit ourselves? F*** that."
Agree with this. Motherland is amazing and Inside Number 9 is fab. Was late to the #9 party but all caught up now. Loved the "live" episode and freaked me out even though I watched it on catch up. Big Ghostwatch vibes. |

"I loved Utopia! Was fuming when they cancelled it 🙄"
It was excellent I agree.
The conversation in the bus station still gives me chills.
They remade it for American audiences but it was utter spite as per usual. |
