Re: The best new and returning TV series of 2024?

Also, should we really use Mary Sue for male characters? Maybe a Luke Skywalker or an Anakin Skywalker would work better? ;) (We need a fishing smilie). Man, The Americans drags on. Only at series 3 but it’s become repetitive and depressing. Does it pick itself up? Nope . It’s pretty rubbish actual...

Hugh Bladen. Not so much in his later years when he became quite clumsy though. But he was the enigmatic voice of South African rugby for many years. Bladen, for sure. Legendary. THE Voice of SA Rugby. Grant Nisbitt for NZ. He’s horrific. Yes he is. I rather meant he is the voice of nz Rugby

Felix (I think that is his name) has been the most impressive of the coaches/analysts to me.
Absolutely, quite surprised how vital he seemed to be. He really is a big loss.
I am also quite surprised how little Nienaber features. Felix and Rassie are all over the place
