Loved True Detective season 1 and this season is good too although it does move very slowly.  I have my suspicions that the daughter wasn't talking about her da when she phoned the cops, definitely something dodge about the DA who was beside the da on TV.

The rhythm of a whodunnit is missing.
It's not a whodunnit per se, at least not like the excellent Broadchurch which keeps the twists moving from episode to episode keeping the audience on their toes. TD3 is character driven, there is a whodunnit but the drama is about the characters.
Where else in modern  tv drama do you have so many one on ones? At the end of ep 5 there's a 10 minute one on one between the two leading protaginists. This doesn't happen as a rule with tv or film drama and rarely in theatre.
TD3 is a superb tv drama.

Watched Russian Doll. Twenty plus minutes an episode so easy watched. Decent enough. Just starting IT Crowd again. It's very like Father Ted in ways. Never gets old.

Watched a documentary called Free Solo about the rock climber Alex Honnold and his attempt o scale El Capitan without the use of ropes. Unbelievable and well worth a watch.

IT Crowd and Fr Ted have a similar tempo!

Very well described. Love the intensity of it, some people hate slow burning plots, but for me if the writing is good and they've casted the right actors then it's something I can believe in

TD3 not doing it for me at all I have to say.

Das Boot series is decent.

Have a look at The Dawn Wall. Brilliant.

Ive recorded it so will watch it when she's out, She won't watch anything unless its a got a boy meets girl, fall in love fall out of love and get back together again at the end!!.. Cant see it beating the original, It was like being in the Uboat, so tense

Long time from i watched the original and it never left a huge impression on me so I couldn't give an honest comparison.

I'm watching Das Boot the new one. You'll be relieved to hear that it's not a remake of the classic Boot, it's a sequel. The son of the great commander himself  takes command of a new uBoat.  It's riveting stuff. You don't have to have watched the first Das Boot  to follow Das Boot 2

Das Boot 1,  The original uncut version in 6 episodes 293 mins is the same as the BBC miniseries
The BBC version has hard subs.

    1981 unreleased version (209 minutes)
    1981 original theatrical cut (149 minutes)
    1984 BBC miniseries (300 minutes)
    1997 "Director's Cut" (208 minutes)
    2004 "The Original Uncut Version" (293 minutes) – miniseries minus episode-opening flashback scenes

True Detective final episode was pretty poor.
