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.
Good call, it has been superb in my humble opinion. It reminds me of a Beckett play in some ways.
There are some incredibly mundane, but well observed and highly realistic, scenes, and the series delves into how people treat each other, manipulate each other, and push their own agendas.
It has bravely examined themes like envy, loss of self-worth, selfishness, and paranoia.
I've found it gripping but as you say, much of it is dark and the way it explores the characters' fears and feelings does make it uncomfortable at times.
Many would say it's dull viewing but there are moments of tension and drama and to introduce any more would take away a lot of the brutal realism.
Totally agree. There will be lots who think it's just boring rubbish but look deeper and there's plenty there.
This was really good but if you are doing a mini series on the making of The Godfather, it had to be. A few 'for dramatic effect' liberties taken but nothing that detracted from the main characters and their pursuit for perfection.
I haven't finished watching The Lazarus Project, The Undeclared War and Black Bird yet (I don't expect the first two to blow me away but Black Bird is looking promising) but this was the best thing I've seen for a while.
I finally finished The Offer tonight, it was so good, obviously took a few liberties with parts of it but was so well done.
I quite liked the Lazarus Project although I thought they tried to be too clever at the end and think the second series won't be as good
This looks quite interesting, now on Disney Plus. When does an Underdog stop being an Underdog when they get millionaire owners with Hollywood profiles though?
Eish, they've only gone and employed Shaun Harvey as their advisory to the CEO. Pants getting pulled from the off by looks of it. That useless prick is never far from a fast buck is he?
About to embark on Baron Noir on Prime. Is it any good?
You’ll love it Bazza, vive La Gauche! Only made about 6 years ago, but it seems like a thousand years ago when the Parti Socialiste were the natural party of government, and Arsenal were good. But the wheel turns…
Lots of talk but that’s no bad thing, and a lot of wish fulfilment, but worth watching. Love the way they let you know you’re back in Dunkerque by having people drink beer in the streets- the Middlesbrough of France!
Signed up for NowTV after five years off Sky, dived into Mare of Easttown. Kate Winslet is incredible in it.
Just done the first episode of Sherwood. I like David Morrissey so we'll see how it goes. Anyone seen?
Definitely worth a watch - anyone with any memory of miners strike will get more out of it. Well acted & like you Morrissey usually means decent value. Was hoping they’d make more of Mark Billingham’s Thorne character - just did the one series I think. Shout out for Only Murders in the Building on Disney - Steve Martin, Martin Short & Selena Gomez have a blast in couple of series.
Daisy May Cooper's new series "Am I being unreasonable?" on BBC is very good. Just watched the first two episodes and will probably finish it this evening.
Dahmer on Netflix if you can stomach it. It shows why / how he became the monster that he was and the number of times a family member or the police could have put a stop to him. Shocking.

+1 for this
Didn't think it would be my thing. Mrs Ramsey put it on and it drew me in after 5 mins. Watched all six parts over two days. Quite clever and a really solid black comedy/drama. The little lad is fantastic.
