Night Manager not much better. For a BBC show, seems very amateurish and cringey.

Watched first season of fallout any thought it was ok. Is the second much the same or is it far worse?

I enjoyed the first season too. The second is just very poor - big drop in standards.
John Le Carre who wrote S1 died. Someone else wrote S2. That simple.

Le Carré didn't write season 1. He wrote the book it was based on, and there were some pretty significant differences.

Was just trying to find something on netflix and came across anatomy of a scandal.

It's about a government minister who has an affair with his aide, then dumps her, she then accuses him of rape. The first few episodes were great and the whole did he or didn't he and the court case was really interesting.

How it should have ended. They should have kept the mystery of his guilt to the end, he gets off and then either with a flashback or a new assault or something we realise he is actually guilty, a serial rapist with no remorse

Instead we get a f**king absolute mess, the prosecuting barrister was raped by him and is out for revenge. The barrister is also the guys  wife's uni flat mate yet no-one recognises her wtf. Has she had face off cage/travolta style surgery, she has decided to risk her career instead of just telling someone what happened and have another barrister take the case. He gets off but then his wife who feels bad realising he is guilty tells the media about some unfortunate drug incident from 20 yrs ago involving him and the now prime minister. The government collapses and the guy is arrested all on his wife's word with no shred of any evidence which is a massive stretch especially for a courtroom based drama. Really disappointing end considering the strong start.

Sorry about the spoilers but I'm saving you all 6 hrs of your life.

Captain Scarlet

Wonder Man is really enjoyable. Not really a superhero show from Marvel and Ben Kingsley is brilliant in it.
It's shot like an indie film too, so very different in style to the Marvel bits.

Looking to start Under the Salt Marsh then.
them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

Is that the Sienna miller one? Gav up on it a couple of years ago inside the first episode. Really bizarre cinematography in it if I recall correctly.

That's the one yes there are some lol visual effects but I thought the first few episodes were good enough unfortunately it soon descended into a farce
