Have watched a few episodes of Beck, a Swedish cop series and found it to be pretty decent. Considering going back to the start as I'm st S8. Anyone seen it and worth going back to?

its a similar scene but a good bit better,  as in more original - better plots, his sidkick in the early era had more about him.  The hallmark swedish cop. drama series is Wallander, Beck is way off that pace.

Cheers. Might give it a lash and then move onto Wallander as pretty sure I've only seen a few of the Swedish version (seen all the Branaghs).

Presumably Sky Atlantic as it's HBO? Otherwise sail the seven seas.

Pretty much all of Shane Meadows' stuff is brilliant check out The Virtues and Dead Mans Shoes!

I have watched The Virtues but not Dead Man's Shoes. Where can I watch it? Virtues was very good.

Dead Man's Shoes is brilliant.
Haven't watched This is England. Must try it out.

One of my older kids is now of an age to watch the Walking Dead, so I started it with him the other night. He loves it, and to be fair, the early seasons were quite good.

Dead Man's Shoes, 57% on Rotten Tomatoes.  Not great

Anyone been watching The White Lotus?

Its on HBO. Not sure if its reached Ireland/UK, but if it does, check it out.

Very funny satire about rich white people and their interactions with the staff at an exclusive hotel in Hawaii.

Aussie actor, Murray Bartlett is hilarious as the brown-nosing hotel manager falling off the wagon when he scores a lost backpack full of drugs.
