TV Show recommendations

Watched The Serpent on BBC iPlayer. Good show. Enjoyed it. Based on a true story of Charles Sobhraj a serial killer on the hippie trail in Asia.

Very enjoyable (if that's the right word?).

I read the book years ago, it was a horrid tale and I'm not at all tempted to watch the tv drama. I think the tv drama just stops after he got caught.  I read that he earned millions after he did some jail time and returned to France, a celebratory of sorts. But as it turned out he finally got his second comeuppance, deserved justice served chilled.

I believe he has managed to get married to some young girl whilst in jail so his powers of persuasion don't seem to have waned. A bad, bad hoor.

Jenna Coleman is lovely.

Trial 4 on Netflix is another reminder of how rotten and corrupt the justice system can be, especially in America - and would resonate here in the North too.

Some references to the Irish connection in Boston.  Serious amount of time spent trying to get police to release files. And you still have cops insisting the case was clear cut and no foul play. Would make your blood boil.

Similar sort of stuff to Making a Murderer but not as long.

Briarpatch on Alibi has started off like a house on fire, bit like Fargo - with a touch of Twin Peaks.

Watching Dark on Netflix... you'd need a degree in story following to get round it but I love this type of stuff

Can't remember if I said before but Lupin is a good watch. Only 5 episodes and if you like The Thomas Crown Affair etc. you'll like it.

It definitely requires your full attention, but it is brilliant

Night Stalker on Netflix is a good watch.

The amount of opportunities they had to catch the killer

Thought it was very good. How many peoples lives would have been saved in the USA over the years (from serial killers)  if they'd have locked their doors and windows?

I'll have to stick with it then I was starting to waver on only the second episode, a bit corny?

This is one of the most gruesome serial killer shows I have watched.

Amazing that it took so long to catch him. He never covered his face and left plenty of people alive to tell the tale.

And yes, American home security must have been shocking

Doors & windows were commonly left open back then.
Sure look at our own country - back in the 80's it was rare to close all of these things.

The different police departments messed up on a few occasions to catch him

Ride and prejudice
Starting watching Borgen based on recommendations here. Enjoying it even if the dubbing is a bit dodgy and the English translation seems a bit off. A definite talking point in our house anyway is how the PMs bedroom in her house appears to be just off the kitchen joined by double French doors.... Weird layout.
