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. |  | | |  |

Thanks Orthodox. Will add to the list.
Meanwhile, just on case there's anyone out there that I haven't tried to sell 'Northern Exposure' to, I will now. Re-watching it for the umpteenth time and it's just glorious.
Coming to a dodgy box/site near you. In my case it's bflix. |
Ooh good shout - never watched first time round.
David Chase (The Sopranos creator) was one of the main writers on it. |  |

Kubrick’s masterpiece Paths Of Glory is currently on Amazon Prime.
The man was a genius, and this is one of the best war movies.
Interesting fact: the only woman in the film (the German girl who sings to the soldiers) married Kubrick and is still alive today. |  | | |

Half way through a new Elvis documentary on Netflix. All about his 1968 comeback TV special and the history of his career leading up to it.
Fascinating to see just how much of a laughing stock he had become due to those God awful films he had to make, but also just how out of touch he has become as well.
Man he could sing, though. | | | |

Is there a film Kubrick made that isn't a masterpiece?
My personal favourite is Barry Lyndon - but they're all great. | |

Documentary series on ITVX and they are also showing it on ITV4 called Dark Side of the Ring
All about America Wrestling and is brilliant, is part true crime, part circus part comedy. Each episode looks at a different story so some are just big things that happened in wrestling but from the inside but most are about the various murders and suicides, is quite dark at times and all told by people who were there. |  | | |

Just discovered the 5th and final series of Gotham has landed on Prime. Enjoyed the previous series about the early days of the pre Batman Bruce Wain, Penguin. Joker, et al. Very dark and set in a twilight world almost devoid of colour so quite gothic. Not sure the actor who pays Wain works but Sean Pertwee who plays his ex SAS minder is an improvement on the usual Alfred role. Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin, makes the series. | | | |

Even if you aren't a big Formula 1 fan, I can strongly recommend Brawn: The Impossible Formula One Story.
You also get to see what a real POS Ecclestone was/is. |  |

Really enjoyed this . Wife is a huge Elvis fan but weirdly and ashamedly I didn’t really know the full Elvis story until I watched this and she filled in the gaps the doc didn’t cover .
To see how nervous and insecure he was, was a real eye opener , but also how controlled he was too by management and ridiculous contracts.
Fascinating to see him in a ‘band’ set up with his mates. Totally in his element for once .
And yes, if the documentary shows you one thing , it’s my god he could really really sing |  | | |

Brian, the university that employs me boasts about Robin Green and Mitchell Burgess quite often, as they are alums. We usually lead with their role with the Sopranos, but Northern Exposure always gets mentioned, too — as it should.

Seeing it appear on iplayer last night, I decided to start rewatching BBC's 2005 production of Bleak House that I enjoyed when it first aired.
Well, I think it's even better the second time around. For me, this has to be the best literary adaptation I have ever seen, and dare I say it, it actually enhances Dicken's novel with its fabulous evocation of 1830's London and brilliant casting. And the exceptional script and clever structure accentuate the fact that Bleak House is essentially a crime thriller.
But it's worth watching as a social history document alone, because you get a visceral sense of just how horrific the lives of many people were back then, living cheek-by-jowl with the sumptuous late-Georgian splendour of the rich.
I think it's so good, I suggest taking your time to fully absorb everything that's going on, because even the sets are worth lingering over - especially the incredible interiors. It's just feckin fantastic! A great series to lead you into Christmas. |  |

My sister recommended this to me on Friday as a "yank version of Luther"
Now I wasn't much of a Luther fan (Idris Elba... Vandross I certainly was / am) so approached with a degree of sniffiness.
Gotta say.. loved it and binge watched so i only have one episode of season one to watch this evening. |  |

Sugar - Colin Farrell as a PI
Huge Micky Spillane's Mike hammer vibes.
Quite enjoyed it but it did lose me a bit in last couple of episodes which is a shame.
I do like Farrell.
Jealous of his barnet. | |

Anyone else following it? |
Yes, and enjoying it more as it goes along. I think episode 7 is next for me. |  |

Anyone seen Crá on TG4/iPlayer? Your latest Irish language murder mystery. Intriguing story, stunning first two minutes. Fark, Donegal is bleak, I thought Kerry was bad. |  | | |

Yeah, just finished it. Really enjoyed it, I liked it's low-budget near-monochrome that reflected the bleakness of the Donegal landscape and the people eking out their existence there. I also liked the fact it was in Irish, after a while I was able to tune into the cadences of their speech, if not the meaning. | |
