Finished with the Fall aftee tonite. Can't take the slow pace of it anymore.

Or the bad acting

Please please let something of substance happen next week or I'll be out too!!!

I understand the slow burn but you need something mad to happen every once in a while to keep the interest spiked... Some of the acting is horrific as well especially the young blade!

There are some amount of mangled accents in it

The first episode finished me

Watched the first 3 episodes of Designated Survivor... Enjoying it.  Good pace to it

I watched the Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix.
Interesting stuff. Hard to know what to make of it all!
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Watched the first episode of Season 2 of The Missing having not seen the first season. Thought it was absolutely gripping.

The Fall is like a show that was originally  written as 11 episodes but it got so popular they thought, f**k, we better stretch this out for another while. Latest series is pants.

It was worth 5 episodes, 6 at most and then it would have been excellent, then move on to another case in the 2nd series.
The longer it goes on after 6, considering  the evidence in hand and the choices of action, just exacerbates the ineptness of the psni to clusterfck proportions, possibly thee most inept police force ever.  And the  farcical  leaps of credibility in the plot/characters  in order to extend the series,  just destroys it.
I've  finished 8  1/2 episodes  and questioning my sanity about finishing the 9th.

Totally agree. There was no need for this third series with the same characters, totally implausible. I'm probably gonna continue watching but this series has been very poor.

Have started Magnifica 70, a Brazilian drama available on All 4 (Walter presents). 2 episodes in and it's very good, has some dynamite reviews.

Also has a clinker opening tune https://youtu.be/BliqScxpNRs
Only one episode left of this and I'm not sure if it's brilliant or shit☺It's been enjoyable but it's hard to nail down. Think I'm missing subtle nuances of the Brazilian TV experience, very soap opera (y) / Kitschy at times, but maybe it's just bad acting and production values.

Still loving the opening tune.

Anyone seen the new MacGyver? As bad as predicted?

Brutal.
I loved the original when I was a young fella.

Has there ever been a remake that matched up to the original?
