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.

Another plug for the Plot Against America. Philip Roth book adapted by the writers of the Wire.

Plenty of parallels with stuff going on today in the US and around the world.

watched 'Father soldier son' a netflix documentary about an all american soldier with two young sons filmed over 10 years. Best not to give any more away as some surprising things happen to them over time. Very very good.

"Soft white underbelly" interviews on Youtube.

Majority of the interviews are from residents of LA, particularly those from Skid row and gang areas. Some are from further a field including the offspring of inbreeding.

I caught a bit of "The last wave" on BBC4 last night. Very promising, from what I saw.

We're nearly caught up on Ozark (outstanding but the tension really does a number on me, I must admit) and looking ahead for our next show. One of my mates recommended ZeroZeroZero–anyone familiar?

Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who adds a title to the queue and then leaves it sit for months/years? I finally crossed off one such film the other night: Dead Man's Line. Wish I hadn't waited so long. I'm not old enough (nor am I an Indiana native) to be familiar with the story before now.

Resurrecting this thread to give a 'shout out' to the 3rd series of Mortimer and Whitehouse Go Fishing that started last night on BBC 2.

1st episode of this series just as superb as the previous 12 from the first two

Great stuff!

Cobra Kai. Originally on YouTube but now on Netflix.

Follow up to the Karate Kid and actually pretty good. Honestly.

The Mrs and I just binged Season 1 of Cobra Kai and really enjoyed it. Loads of 80s throwbacks and each episode is only 30mins. Very funny and it doesn't take itself to seriously.

All or nothing is good value so far. A couple of funny highlights include Jose telling the sky sports news crowd on to to fk off when they say he is past it and Danny Rose having a full hissy fit then asking Levy if Milan are interested in him - err no Dan. Jose comes off as very likeable

yeah Jose is annoying coming across as alright, only seen the first 4 so far but him telling everyone his dog had died on Christmas eve was equally weird and lovable.

There is a show on ITV next week worth a watch, 3 part Drama called Des about serial killer Des Nilsen, I got to see it early through work and is very good. Daniel Mays and David Tennent are in it. Starts 9pm on Monday and on Tuesday and Wednesday as well

I'll have to see that. DN lived down the road from my grandparents in Cricklewood, we used to walk past his house every week. When the police dug up the garden after his arrest, my Dad got the job of putting the fences back. He said a young couple had bought his old flat there three weeks before his arrest and just finished decorating when the police tore it apart.

Thoroughly recommend ZeroZeroZero. Saw Season 1 on SBS here a few weeks back. Lovely, brutal, plot twists on so many aspects of drug trafficking. You will not be disappointed.

Yes I've mentioned it a few times already!

Episode 4 was shot so ridiculously well that even my 86 year old Mum noticed - sorry Mum!

The shooting and direction for a show like this are way beyond good!

Funny old game, mate. Just got back from Hampshire that night after a weekend away around my mate’s house. We went for a long walk around Whitchurch, along the river Test - not a river I knew anything about, came home and that was on the box. What an incredibly clean and clear stretch of water, and of course, stacked with Trout. Lovely part of the world that I knew nothing about until my mate moved there.

Fantastic programme featuring two very decent people.

Apologies if it's been mentioned already, but I found a German film from 2018 on Prime called The Captain last night. It's very long (4 hours) so I've only seen half of it so far. It's brilliantly made (helped by black and white filming) but very unpleasant. A young deserter on the collapsing Western Front in April 1945 finds an officer's uniform and convinces people he's Hitler's personal emissary. You probably won't enjoy it, but it's well worth trying - I thought I'd give it ten minutes and two hours flew by.

EDIT - 2 hours, not four. Oddly, once it finishes, they show it again.

I'm finally getting into Black Books, having only ever watched an episode here and there for before.

Absolute quality.

4th series on the way, Sharpy. Lovely programme.

Did I ever mention that I was in Minder?
