Bad Sisters was a brilliant watch. That Danish actor who played the husband should have got multiple awards for his performance.

Only Murders in the Building finished Season 3 this week in the US. Happily (if a bit implausibly) they're set up for Season 4 with another apparent murder.

Nah, I found the acting hammy as f**k from pretty much everyone except Horgan and the one with the patch. Eve Hewson and the two insurance lads were unbearable.

Watching The Long Shadow on ITV at the moment, dramatisation of The Yorkshire Ripper decent watch.  The police don't cover themselves in glory

A few mentioned Ted Lasso. Think it was originally popular, at least in the states, because it was "nice ", for lack of a better word. Some relaxing escapism in that horrible summer of 2020.

The All Creatures Great and Small remake fills sort of the same role for me these days. Or the Bake Off. No great stakes. Just people being nice!

A hard no from me. Pile of shite.

Lioness on Paramount is very good so far.

Excellent show - blitzed through it the last couple of nights

Don't know how long its been knocking about but Justified is back (Justified Primeval). If you liked the original you'll like this, splashed some money on casting too. On Disney

Steve Coogan portrayal of Jimmy Savile on The Reckoning is chilling and alarmingly accurate.

[Armamike]

Coogan seems to capture Saville's character. Chilling and dark!

It's pretty good, very hard to look at the 2 gruff Yorkshire Cops who takeover and not immediately see Vic & Bob tho.

Agreed, even the script is excellent. Grace (JP's downtrodden wife) in retort to her sister's angst against JP, ' But I haven't had to take out the rubbish in 15 years'. The interaction between the sisters was priceless, perfect timing. Next on my list is a rewatch of The Clan, the original drama

Started Godfathers of Harlem. Like Whittaker, so hoping for good things. Started well enough. Worth persisting with?

Yep. It's excellent.

The Daryl Dixon Walking Dead 6 part series was actually decent.

[gerrykeegan]

Dear Child is well worth a watch, 6 episodes, you'll find you will binge them. Germany made and will be dubbed on Netflix but if you can get over that I would highly recommend.

Documentary on BBC - The Union (UK), very interesting.

Also caught an old Rory Stewart documentary called Middleland, a stretch of land in North England / Southern Scotland, that was really fascinating - could have been another country in GB but for the Romans/ Hadrian's wall is his premise.

Given the hype, have to say I'm very disappointed in Top Boy so far. One and a half series to go.

A poor imitation (and at times complete rip off) of the wire. Full of plot holes and continuity errors, with hammy writing to boot.

Some good acting though.
