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. |  | | |  |

Dark winds on Netflix is pretty good rattled through first 3 episodes
Crime thrilller set on a Navajo reservation in the 70,s so lots of squeaking,clunking car door sounds
Enjoyable so far |
I also liked Dark Winds. Like many of the better TV series, based on a pre-existing novel. |  |

I had to watch that work work and it is very dull
The Offer is on ITVX now, have probably mentioned this before but is about the Making of the Godfather films and is brilliant |
Dave,
'The Offer' is excellent craic. Thanks for recommending this (and to anyone else who might have mentioned it).
Great 70's feel that reminded me of 'The Deuce'. It's played for laughs more than that programme was but it's just as enjoyable. also reminded me of 'Mad men' a bit, with all the machinations.
I'm seven episodes in, and I just now I'll finish the last three tonight.
Solid 8 or 9 from the Cork Jury. |  |

This may not be everyone's cup of tea, but Riot Women was far better than I was expecting and despite the occasional stereotypical trope I ended up binge watching it in two days. |  |

Just started watching A Thousand Blows
Set in early Victorian London
Tale of two Jamaicans arriving and falling in with a gang of “cor blimey guv’nah” East End female villains.
Stephen Graham is in it with a few others you’d know
So far, so good |  |

Just finished the latest series of 'Slow Horses'.
Got really silly for an episode or two but finished really well.
Cracking programme. | |

Check out Mick Herron’s other work being brought to TV - Down Cemetery Road. Has to be good with Emma Thompson & Ruth Wilson (& Apple budget) |  | | |

Watched the first 2 episodes available. Very good.
Finished Slow Horses 5th season. Probably one of the best TV shows out there. |  |

Good call, I haven't finished watching it yet but, so far, it has been excellent. I liked the fact that when they started practising together, it *didn't* all magically gel. |  |

Finished this - really good and much enjoyed.
Only reservation was the femal lead who did get a bit annoying with her walk, chin thing and "farkin mug punta" spiel
A loosely true story which is fairly remarkable.
Now watching Black Rabbit which I'm enjoying as well. | |

Enjoyed Black Rabbit.
Far fetched at times of course but Jason Bateman does ‘unravelling’ plot lines very well. |  | | |

Just finished this - Agree not as good as previous but think Season 4 could be very good based on the storyline being left as it was |  | | |

The hot underappreciated (yet over promoted) heroine who's too busy to care about dresses is getting tedious mind. | | | |

Another thumbs up for riot women.
Watched The diplomat and slow horses the last few weeks. The diplomat is no doubt very good but put it next to slow horses different class.
The very good british shows create brilliant spaces for you to float in. The diplomat felt like a continuous bursts of machine gun fire thrown at you.
It’s the spaces in the tune not the notes. Every great song. | | | |

@charmr 'The diplomat felt like a continuous bursts of machine gun fire thrown at you.'
I haven't seen The Diplomat, but I believe Kermode categorised such offerings as 'running, jumping and shooting' movies.
Bourne to run

Great point.
I've turned off the first episode of series two of the Diplomat twice, thinking "nah, can't keep be keeping up with that".
I find I have to be in the mood for programmes or films that are so frantically paced. | |

Another vote for Black Rabbit. I watched the last 4 episodes in one go last night while the Mrs was out.
Not quite telly, but I bought the Brian Pern dvd in the week. (Simon Day playing a Prog-rocker - Peter Gabriel in all but name).
Of all people, Suranne Jones is just brilliant in it, as is the very under-rated Michael Kitchen as his Manager. [Post edited 8 Nov 18:45]

Re-watching Cheers at the moment.
Ridiculously good.
If you've never watched it, find it somewhere. |
M*A*S*H* Cheers and Frasier all three remarkably good. Frasier I can watch over and over again. |  | | |

That's handy because C4 show it over and over again.
The sign of a good movie or TV show for me, is that they don't date with age. Clothing fashion aside, Frasier is ageless. However, Daphne's oaf of a brother played by some Yank doing a 'British accent' was rubbish. |  |

That was Anthony LaPaglia, who's actually Australian... |  |

The casting of Daphne's Brothers from Manchester is a weird kink in a fine programme - an Aussie, Robbie Coltrane from Scotland and Richard E. Grant, from Swaziland and 1890's Oxbridge. | |
