Ben Fogle had a documentary on Channel 5 on Wednesday night where he spent a week inside Chernobyl. Fascinating and harrowing at the same time. Showed the city as it was left, met residents who returned to their homes illegally and also adrenaline junkies who sought the danger of spending a night inside the exclusion zone.

Well worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing.

Started watching Your Honour, it is so intense it is unreal, one episode per night is enough. Real top quality show, very hard watch at times and I've only watched 2 episodes.

I've started episode 2 and was half watching. Got totally lost and had to go back to the start. Needs full attention but a great show so far. A rough enough opening 15 mins or so.

Cheers Benny - might give it a rattle

Watched the first two seasons of The Killing (US version). Decent enough viewing. Would Season 3+4 be as good?
Ulster League Champions 2009

Season 3 was decent and 4 wasnt as good but you may as well go for it. Only watched them about 6 months ago myself.

Watching Can't Get You Out Of My Head by Adam Curtis.

It's the first thing I've watched of his and while I found it tough going in the first episode it's totally engrossing now. Charting the course of history to where we are now and linking the whole thing together through individual stories historic events using old footage and music.

It's really interesting!

Last chance U back on Netflix with a new series.  Basketball in LA this time.  I wouldn't be a fan of the sport but will certainly give this a go.

Enjoyed Manhunter season 2, thought it was pretty good.

Bloodlands was an extraordinary mess. I don't think I've ever watched as disjointed a show in my life. Really can't believe that such a script was the original pitch. Must have been destroyed with too many cooks.

Main Street

I watched the the first episode of Bloodlands and dropped it, I had a feeling it was not going to recover.

I watched Lupin instead, French drama mentioned a few pages back. It's enjoyable and you grow into the story. First season  has just 5 episodes and you are left with a cliffhanger. The next 5 episodes are already produced but they are being dangled to build up the anticipation. Apparently this show is a really big hit with the French tv audience,

Milltown Row2

Watching Sense8 on Netflix, loving it, different sci-fi  but again well acted . Loving it
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

I can thoroughly recommend Call My Agent for another piece of French tv.
