Will watch it after I finish the Netflix one

Started the OJ story on Netflix last night. I was a bit too young at the time to appreciate the madness and magnitude of it but against the backdrop of the Rodney King killing I can understand how they let him off even though they shouldn't.

I read he's in jail for kidnapping and armed robbery at the minute. He must be a crazy b**tard!

Yes noticed this was on Netflix last night. I think it will be next on my list.  Still ploughing on through Power on Netflix. Decent show in fairness.

Oh and i recently watched The Seven Five documentary on Netflix too about the corrupt NYPD officer Michael Dowd in the 80s. Really good doc.  The ease of the corruption would make you think that it had to be (and i suppose still is) so common place.

Season 1 of The Expanse was great Sci-Fi but season 2 has been even better, S2E2 quality TV.

We're two series through Power; it's a really enjoyable watch.
Oh, and there is that much sex in it that it's almost like it's a soft p*rn show

The last kingdom on Netflix is good

Enjoyed it as well

Season 1 of The Expanse was great Sci-Fi but season 2 has been even better, S2E2 quality TV.

Must give it another go, watched Episode 1 and never went back.

I watched Stargate Universe recently again for the 3rd time. Best Sci-Fi series ever imo. Broke my heart when it got cancelled.

Watched SAS - Rogue Warriors (3 episodes on BBC iplayer), very interesting. Concentrates on their formation and only deals with WW2 Activities. Paddy Mayne was certainly an interesting character / leader. Thinking of buying a Biography now.

The hero of Newtownards.

British and Irish Lion as well

It is now an Oscar winning doco.

Watching an Australian TV drama (on Sky) called 'The Kettering Incident' at the moment.  Set in Tasmania, it's about a young doctor returning to the community in which she grew up and became ostracized after the aforesaid 'incident'.  It's Australian TV, so I wouldn't say it is highly recommended, but I would have to say it is like Twin Peaks on speed, and very enjoyable, if you like that sort of thing (which I do).

Catastrophe is just a superb comedy the best I've seen in a long time!

I'd never heard of Inside No. 9 until I saw last night's episode (BBC2 10:00). I was going to be hooked anyway by the cryptic crossword theme (which was beautifully handled) but I thought it was a brilliant mix of comedy, macabre and a really clever plot. I haven't seen anything as good in a 30-minute show for years. I gather this is the second series. Does anybody have any insight? Is it all as good as this?

A couple of people in work rave about it and say the episodes need to be watched a couple of times to notice various plot devices and use of props which might not have any meaning on first viewing. Must watch a couple myself.
