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. |  | | |  |

Tonight BBC4 and iplayer at 10.00 a reshowing of "Threads" first shown in 1984. No idea if it stands the test of time, but was a harrowing watch back then. I did wonder if it was the start of the end of the cold war. | | | |

Anyone know why it's not on Amazon/netflix?

Yep, thought Banshee was really good when I watched it a few years ago.
Also very good is a Korean cop drama from 2016 called Signal on Netflix. It has elements of Life on Mars and Waking the Dead but isn’t a straight copy of either. [Post edited 10 Oct 7:01]

Cannot recommend The Penguin enough. Very competent writing, superb acting (especially from Colin Farrell who I still can't believe is under that make up), and a great Yojimbo like mobster storyline. The young chap playing Vic in it is sensational, as is Christin Milioti who portrays Sofia Falcone. Only three eps in but I'm hooked and really hope it doesn't drop off towards the end. |  | | |

I'm rewatching The Last Post. Set in the early 1960s, for me it's a pitch-perfect drama series: only 6 episodes long, brilliantly scripted and acted, with beautifully shot, stunning landscapes (Cape Town standing in for Aden) - in the last violent death throes of the British Empire. It has so many resonances with what's happening in the world right now, particularly the Middle East.
Jessica Raine (in particular) and Jessie Buckley are mesmerising as the wives of the officers in the Military police. But every single actor in this cast is spot on. This is tense, sexy, evocative and moving drama of the highest order. |  |

Good show. I think I originally watched it on Amazon but now it’s on Sky. |  | | |

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? | | | |

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. | | | |

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. |  |
