Finished Deutschland 83 last night. Excellent bit of TV, gripping entertaining,well acted and a great storyline which doesn't get too carried away with itself. If you have a spare 6 hours I'd highly recommend it!!!
Hadn't seen anyone else mention it on here so thought I was the only one watching it!
Excellent TV is right.

Plus 1. You're not alone Laoislad.

Vinyl - Martin Scorsese HBO mini series on a period of time in the life of the Rolling Stones 1974.
starts mid Feb

Though personally I have little interest in watching excesses of sex and drugs, therefore  I may be disappointed with it. I'd be mainly interested in the music from their first period from '64 to '72

Just finished the first series of Peaky Blinders , which I though was very good.
Apparently the second series is better again, so looking forward to getting stuck into it.

What's Peaky Blinders about? I'm just finishing off the last series on Sky Go of Elementary, which was enjoyably naff. I'm watching Justified, which is brilliant still, but I'm looking for something else to replace the Elementary void when I'm travelling. Justified is the home with the missus, in front of the fire with a beer, programme.

Set In Birmingham after WW1, it's  about Brummie and Cockley gangsters with a few IRA characters thrown in for luck. It really is very good if a bit 'off the wall'.

A 10 part drama Trapped, located in a remote town in east coast Iceland will be shown by BBC 4 soon (mid feb?).

http://nordicnoir.tv/news/new-bbcfour-trailer-for-trapped-released/
It's exceptionally well directed by Baltasar Kormakur, and set in a remote town locked in the throes of persistent snow storms.
Typically there are a few swings in the plot as the who-done-it shifts focus.

New show Limitless (based on the film) looks good.

Has anyone watched the new X Files yet? Worth watching?

Wouldnt be dying about Peaky Blinders - watched the first season. The 2nd one would needa improve. Fairly bad accents and thick as champ RA men so far.

Watched both seasons of Peaky Blinders and it is decent enough but nothing special.
