It's wired to the moon but strangely absorbing

Yeah enjoyable nonsense. The 'movement's are particularly silly and slightly ruin a potentially great show imo.

It reminded me of an old visual PTQ gag - At a boardroom meeting the Chairman introduces the Treasurer who will deliver the annual results through the medium of dance🧚‍♀️

Meh. I watched most of the first series and while it's an interesting concept it's quite similar to House and I think at this stage Medical Drama's need to take a break for a while there's been a serious overload of them since ER.

Storyville - The trial of Ratko Mladic, grim.

Watching Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix, if you can get past the totally played Zombie / undead premise it has been very funny at times.

'Dead Pixels' on E4, anyone?

BBC. Probably get it on iPlayer. I watched about 10 mins when it was on and recorded it. Grim is a good description of the few mins I saw. Amazing that it happened on our doorstep in the 90s.

Yes it was grim but also predictable. The Balkans was and still is a powder keg. Mladic was a very sinister and bloodthirsty "creature".

I look forward to watching the dramatisation of how this foul rat fared in the court.

I see that 650 men/women have already been convicted of war crimes in the Balkans,
83 have been convicted in the IC

After watching it I see that's it's a most welcome epilogue  to the first Storyville documentary on Srebrenica - A Cry from the Grave 1999
viewable on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fliw801iX84
Unfortunately the  Bosnians did not  have a UN officer of the calibre  of commandant Pat Quinlan to protect them.

Binge watched this with herself. Mad as a bag of spiders but I found myself always wanting to watch the next episode. I have to say I quite enjoyed both seasons so far.

We also watched Ricky Gervais' series 'After Life' recently. It really is an excellent show. One I would advise everyone to watch.

Hard to beat Line of Duty. Great show.
