I gave up on this series of Peakys, it's turned shite, same story rehashed.

Watched Episode 1 of Counterpoint, a new sci-fi show tipped for big things (starring JK Simmons). Interesting & entertaining.

Antrim Coaster

Rocky Ros Muc, TG4, Lá Nollaig @ 9.30.

The story of Seán Mannion who fought for the Light Heavyweight Championship in the 80's.

Vaguely remember him kicking around the 12 Bens in Dorchester.

Suburra on Netflix is quite good

I gave up half way through Series 3, Episode 1.

Big Little Lies is well worth a watch.

FYI It's actually called Counterpart. Couldn't find a show called Counterpoint so I googled JK Simmons and found it that way.

I thought Series 3 was terrible and this series in general was a return to form.

Black Mirror knocking it out of the park again!

On the 4th episode here and it's as innovative and sharp as ever!!

Main Street

French legal/crime drama Spiral is back, 6th season 12 episodes.
Ep 1& 2 on tonight BBC4 9pm, après  le watershed.

Never beat the deeler

Stumbled across Manhunt: Unabomber last night and ended up watching 4 episodes.

Seems very good so far - based on how FBI profiler helped track down the unabomber - serial killer in the states from late 70s to early 90s.

I watched the first episode of s1 when the PM had to shag a pig - haven't managed to go back to it since. Do I need to get over myself  :-\

Yes.

The pig episode was great for headlines and noteriety but is much more brash and graphic than anything that follows.

San Juniper episode is extraordinary.
