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.

Superb doc on bbc about the Brighton bombing in1984 trying to assainate Thatcher. Brilliantly made with interviews with all concerned. Fascinating television.


Was this before or after Margaret Thatcher shot Jerry (sic) Adams?

I have only watched the first 2 episodes, but Ludwig with David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell-Martin is right up my street.

Has anyone watched KAOS on Netflix ? I’ve just started. It’s based on Ancient Greek mythology set in mostly modern day LA.
It’s batshit crazy but strangely compelling.

I haven’t seen it but read that has already been cancelled. I will still make a point of watching though.

I don’t know how I missed it, but just discovered Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing.

Lovely.

Monsters, The Lyle and Erik Menendez story on Netflix. Some of the acting is a bit ropey but its a fascinating story. There's also a doco with footage from the actual court cases and input from those involved that is worth a look.

A strange side effect of the series is that Milli Vanilli are having something of a revival after one of their songs was played at the end of the last episode. Its been all over tiktok ever since.

I found it a bit drawn out. Could have done with just being an hour.

Just finished Series 2 of Pachinko, thank god. It’s beautifully made but it’s so slow, and the 1980s storylines are so much duller than the older stuff. The “Japanese are complete bustards, the Koreans are a great bunch of lads” mantra is starting to wear a bit thin.

Sweetpea is an interesting premise. It needs some suspension of credulity to work but worth a watch.

Yeah it definitely could have been a bit shorter, not as short as an hour though (for me anyway). The doco with actual court footage is interesting and shows up some of the stuff where poetic/artistic licence was used in the TV series.

Season 3 of From has been excellent so far, after getting a bit lost ( pun intended) in Season 2. The horror aspects have been properly horrifying, and the story has progressed a fair bit over the first few episodes, which was a problem last season

The documentary was very good, but as someone said above, as with a lot of US made shows, the serialisation is too drawn out (taking nine hours to do what the documentary does in under two).

That said, the sixth episode (I think) with just Erik and his lawyer meeting in jail was very powerful.

Oh and its on Netflix, save posters searching on the myriad of media now out there.

Also on BBC iPlayer is ‘Surviving October 7th: We Will Dance Again’
Absolutely horrendous what those at Nova Festival went through that day: also refreshing to hear those responsible for the atrocities called terrorists throughout as opposed to the BBC’s usual ‘fighters’ or ‘gunmen’.


It was an extraordinary fly on the wall...a must watch whatever your opinion on the Palestine question. Effected me greatly, humankind at it's worst and best.

Thanks for the recommendations on Shogun. Two episodes in and it's brilliant.

Rather going against the theme of this thread, but Australia has just released a local version of The Office.

Yes, it is every bit as bad as you might expect it to be.

Just spotted the original Tinker Tailor series is being screened/streamed again. Massive favourite for me, mentioned a bit about it vs the film here:

Tinker, Tailor is back on BBC iPlayer again.

Magnificent.

I find it very funny in places, Chef.

I won't say anymore for fear of spoiling it, but it's definitely got a mix of levity thrown in.

Finished The Old Man season 2. Fantastic series and better than the first IMO. Its on Disney plus from 5th November I think.
Def third season coming.

Just finished watching “The Recruit” on Netflix, which I thought was very good.
Also for those who enjoy Korean series, “Taxi Driver” about a victim support agency with a difference.

I thought the second series was better, too, Hayes.

Cracking programme.

Silo season 2 on in mid November and Dune Prophecy looks good, also in mid November.

Just to add if you haven't seen Slow Horses, give it a go. It is funny, mainly Gary Oldman's character, but very bingeable.
