For those who missed this, free 2 months of AppleTV.

Sign up, cancel under your subscriptions on phone. You'll still get the 2 months.

Ted Lasso gets all the publicity, but Trying and Platonic are two very good shows that gets no mention. They both also have ended their story arcs on high notes.

Lots of great television on Apple TV+
To add to the above: Severance, Slow Horses, Bad Sisters, Blackbird, Shrinking are just off the top of my head - at least I assume lineup is same in US and Canada

Well …I can’t figure out how to post an image, but in episode 2 of Criminal Record (Apple TV) there’s a Flames jacket sighting.

It’s a British crime drama (decent, not great) and they visit a prison in London. While they’re in the waiting room, there’s a guy sitting off to the side wearing a yellow and black (weird) Flames jacket.

Definitely an unexpected sighting considering the setting.

Didn’t know where else to post this.

Also, if I ever figure out how to upload a pic I’ll do it here.

Bad Sisters was surprisingly good! Wasn't expecting much and was very pleasantly engaged.

I think its good so far...I actually think they should be concentrating more on the planes, as the planes seem to really be the stars of the show.

I'm not even going to debate you about comparing it Band of Brothers. Thats just hopeless.

I like The Pacific. I LOVE Chernobyl. Band of Brothers is still the best.

Its going to take something amaze-balls to top Band of Brothers. I hope the day comes because whatever that might be will be amazing, but it hasnt happened yet.

The thing with this show is that they're not endearing us to the characters. They all look mostly the same and are either barely fleshed out or just unlikeable.
Chernobyl was by far the best miniseries of all time. Not only did you get an insight into something that the world was not allowed to see, but you actually found out how an RBMK reactor can melts down. The acting was phenomenal, and the nostalgic Soviet Vibe was unbelievable.

Apple TV has certainly taken the mantle of prestige streaming (besides HBO).

It's been too long since I saw a Netflix show that was worth the subscription.

Could it be a Guildford Flames jacket? Their logo is a straight rip-off of the Calgary Flames logo.

Guildford play in the UK Elite Hockey League btw

No, it was definitely a 'C', not a 'G'. Even had 1989 on shoulder/sleeve.

Anyone know how to post images? I'll send the pic to you.
