Happy Valley helped by a long hiatus and sticking to 3 series. Too many series start strong but outstay their welcome, especially those on commercial stations where it is financially lucrative to keep going.

He was also brilliant playing a Northern Irish terminally I'll single parent in Nowhere Special.

The kid acting in Last of us is a scene stealer in this show.

Enjoying it so far...

Fauda back on again, won't be a lot of peoples cup of tea being a Jewish type show but really like it

Started watching Five Days at Memorial this past weekend. It's been on Apple since August, but I'd missed it.

It's the story of what happened at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans during Katrina. The first half of the series showing the hurricane and it's aftermath as the hospital was basically abandoned by the authorities when the levees broke is riveting, but heart breaking. Can't even imagine what those patients, staff and people taking shelter went through with flooding, no power and no supplies.

Just at the part now where the possibly inflicted deaths of patients who couldn't be evacuated is starting to be investigated. They found 45 bodies.

Definitely recommend it so far.

Cheers J70. Hadn't heard of it but Katrina and the response is a fascinating subject. Purely fictional but I'd really recommend The Tin Roof Blowdown by James Lee Burke (Dave Robicheaux series).

I love how each of episodes is so different without the story feeling disjointed. Exceptional writing and show running to date.

Same. Good show and gets better. Easy watching for me compared to some of the other shows they've wanted to watch.
