Good tv series

"Les Norton". 

Crime (comedy). Set in Sydney's Kings X in the 80's.  Some realistic characters depicted. 

Watch for the young Thai sex slaves featured in the first episode.

Spooky- I only discovered the books two days ago and am on my second one. Unfortunately there are only about ten available as ebooks (free ones that is!)  I started in with Mud Crab Boogie.

 

As I digress another very funny Aussie author is Colin Cotterill. His Dr Siri and Jimm Juree books are spot on.

Probably better to read the Les Norton (Robert G Barret) books in order. 

P.S, the stand alone books are good as well.

I thought the name was familiar. Those books have been mentioned previously on this forum.  Related to Mr Inbetween?   (2nd series coming)

Yes, Mr Inbetween had a bit of a Les Norton feel to it, wouldn't surprise if the writers we're Robert G Barrett fans.

"Our Boys", just started about the killing of 3 Israeli kids in 2014

 

Not sure if mentioned but "the loudest voice" was very good

Euphoria is good. On Sky Atlantic. Not easy to watch.

I forgot 'The Boys'- not normally my thing but I did enjoy it. Anthony Starr from Banshee is in it.

 

Regarding the Norton books I would have liked to have begun at the start but there's only ten ebooks available, some of them are the standalones.

The cameras picked out Cleese at the cricket yesterday. Looking very old, not surprising I suppose, he's nearly 80.

Maybe already mentioned but for a really good 7 part mini-series try "The Loudest Voice".

Bad blood is back with season 2. I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 is a escalation in mafia action which is great and better then 1.
