    Wow this section of the forum isn't used much so thought I would post a suggestion for a brilliant TV series called Dopestick it based on true events in the US and how one drug company triggered the worst drug epidemic in American history and the struggle with opioid addiction.

    Only problem for some it's being shown on the Disney+ channel but there's certainly nothing magical about the content of this brilliant series.

    Me too. Y T is my first port of call these days. I don’t have Disney + and most of the other stuff is dross. I watched Shetland though, always a decent story.

    Try the "True North" series on BBC iPlayer. There's a good episode on the young bike racers before they graduate to the Junior SuperSport BSB support class.

    The Offer on Paramount +. It’s a dramatisation of the making of The Godfather film.

    The Bank of Dave on Netflix. A thoroughly good (trueish) tale that’ll put a smile on your face.

    Maybe it’s intended to be sarcastic. Haven’t seen it yet though but bookmarked it for later.
