Just finished Mare of Easttown and I wont be recommending it. A bog standard episode of Law and Order beats it. Very overrated imo.

Ronnie

True Detective
The Killing
The Crown
The Bridge
Faulty Tours

In that order.  Originals only.  No 2nd series crap

The Pact on BBC. 6 episodes of pure sh*te.

So why did you watch all 6?

Just watched "Time" episode 1 on BBC. It has the makings of the best drama series of the year. Sean Bean is excellent and Stephen Graham is even better. It is grim but keeps you engaged with the back stories.
Never underestimate the power of complaining

Have it taped on the basis that if it has both those actors it is already off to a good start. With those 2 acting and Jimmy McGovern behind it, I'd guess at it being "gritty".

I'm nothing if not committed  ;)

Watched the first episode of Time last night too. Absolutely brilliant.

Newbridge Exile

Just watched Tehran on Apple TV  over the  weekend, its was entertaining with plenty of twists and was a change from the norm for an espionage  thriller with Mossad and the Iranian Revolutionary guard being the  protagonists.

Finished Mare Of Easttown.

Good show with a few plot twists.

Mare's mother steals almost every scene she is in

It's widely regarded as one of the greatest shows off all time.

I would agree with that statement. I personally believe Prison break is overrated as it has an extremely steep decline after its 1st season(which is excellent) which can't be compared to any other show. Season 3 was particularly dry.
