I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.

Just watched the first series.

I liked it, but found Gary Oldman’s character a bit hammy. I’m a big fan of his otherwise.


Gary Oldman is always hammy. Good show though.

Very good series and beautifully filmed.


Yep, this is my kind of drama.. beautifully shot as you say. Love the stillness that lets the landscape speak for itself. Two episodes in. Extraordinary.

Last week now, but will be available on the usual catch up channels.

Grayson Perry's Art Club - preview of the next exhibition - some truly heart warming stories/people in there.

Just listened to podcast with Gary Oldman & they are already into 3rd & 4th seasons so more to look forward to.
The Mick Herron books are great & think they’re doing them justice which doesn’t always happen.
We’ve enjoyed Peripheral without knowing exactly what’s going on…
Also shout out for White Lotus coming to an end here next week & while not quite as memorable as first season has built to pretty good ending


I enjoyed the first book, but the second book, now the basis of the new series I believe, was so ludicrous it put me off him completely.

'Slow Horses' back on Apple for a second series.

Lovely.


I've just started to watch the first series and realised a lot of the filming is done around Barbican where I work.

I had to do a double take as the chinese restaurant in one of the scenes is actually a cafe run by a couple of turkish guys I use sometimes.

Now I know what they are filming when I see the big film and catering trucks!

Exactly where the books are set. Slough House is on Aldersgate Street, opposite the Nuffield Health gym.

Gary Oldman's character sounds like Daphne Moons' brother Simon in Frasier and in some shots he looks like Robert Elms

captains fantastic

I don't know if Animal Kingdom has been mentioned in this thread yet, but it is a superlative action/crime/thriller/drama and finally they've got all six seasons on Prime. Starring Ellen Barkin as the Cody family matriarch, this is a seriously underrated series IMHO, that ranks right up there with the very best, especially in terms of plot and character development. Plus it is stylish and sexy, with seriously great heists!

Couldn’t agree more. We just finished season 6 a few days ago and are suffering withdrawal symptoms. Would be interested to know what you thought of the ending.

Never overcame my grief that they moved it from Melbourne and that Ben Mendelsohn wasn’t in it to give it a proper chance. Maybe I’ll try again.

It's very different to that original film, hard to imagine Ben Mendelsohn in this version. I think you have to clear your mind of that version and start again. It's certainly not to everyone's taste, but I love it.

Ben Mendelsohn was indeed memorable in the role but Shaun Hatosy, who plays Pope in the US version is every bit as good in a slightly different and just as terrifying way.

Been impressed with the first 5 episodes of Tulsa King on Paramount Plus. Sly Stallone's foray into the series format and plays a recently released from jail, too old and outcast Mobster. Actually works very well so far. He's convincing and there's some great jokes in there acknowledging his maturing age but you have to say, he's looking pretty good for mid 70s and the acting is on point. Worth a watch.

the new itvx app is very buggy but if you can stand it I thought A spy among friends was excellent - Damian Lewis as usual was brilliant

Great tip. Really into it now, so dark. Do you think Ellen Barkin got the terrible cosmetic surgery specially for the part?

I did wonder. The crazy thing is, it actually makes her look older! Incredible acting though. And yes, it is deliciously dark. And it gets darker.

Just binge watched the recruit on Netflix. It’s all about a lawyer Owen Hendricks who works for the CIA and how he becomes involved in the field. I thought it was quite good.

I watched the first two and wasn't that bothered. Gave it a chance and it got better. Just need to watch final episode tonight.

I'm glad I gave this a miss.

I just watched Cabinet of Curiosities on Netfix which was superb.
The one with Robocop as a 70's guru felt like it was made in 1979! Great stuff I enjoyed all 10 episodes.

Betaal is good fun too, easy going anglo-indian Zombie story where 1857 British zombie soldiers go on a rampage. It's very entertaining with some decent one liners.

I think that was me.
If you haven't already then check out Snowfall. It's about the 80's LA crack epidemic fuelled by the CIA. 4 series on iPlayer, created by John Singleton. Good soundtrack too.

I have just watched the first 3 series of Snowfall. I found it pretty addictive.
