Crikey, I haven't heard mention of those two shows in years.

Currently watching Offspring on Netflix here in the UK. Very very funny (only seen season 1 so please don't say it falls off a cliff). I think it is set in Fitzroy.

Best show I've seen in ages.

Good Man , decent Aussie drama.

Miss the oldies but the goodies.

There's a sci-fi show that's just started called 'Debris'.

Seems to be a US-UK hybrid.

Whilst not quite 'Fringe' level of TV it still, so far, looks pretty interesting. I hope it gets even better from the first ep.

yeah seen that it got B IMDb for opening pilot. I’ll give it a watch when a few more episodes have dropped.

A very underrated and oft overlooked TV series which I very much enjoyed - Counterpart.

It's a science fiction piece set on earth where... well, I'm not going to spoil it for you.

Watch the first episode or two of Counterpart on Amazon Prime - you'll likely be hooked if you're a sci-fi fan.

Never even heard of it but from a quick Google it reminds me of Fringe. I'll have a look when I've finished the last few episodes of Ashes to Ashes, cheers.

Started watching Wandavision.


It's alright. My biggest praise is that it's easy to watch. Some of the constant references feel a bit fan service like, and some characters seem a bit like fan avatars.

Some of the humour really hits the mark. The characters are really endearing.

Not a fan of Agnes being a villain. I think Hahn is a fantastic comedian; she was a genuine delight on screen. But I can't buy her as a bad guy. Maybe I'll have a change of heart after the finale.


Some of the early episodes were delightfully unsettling. I really enjoyed that aspect.

Is she a villain though, I don't think we've seen enough yet to determine that.

Edit: just realised I've not watched episode 8 yet, so I may not be up to date.

Spiral is (so far) the only police drama that has - apart from The Wire - never given me any occasion to suspend disbelief.

What happened to Sarkozy yesterday almost sounds like a plot line from the series.

It can take a couple of episodes to get into but all 8 seasons of Spiral can be watched for free on the BBC iPlayer.

Have you tried 4 Blocks yet mate?

I see it hovering around Spiral/Wire/Sopranos (as Zim pointed out) .

Perhaps not the depth and scope of the latter two, but the US can really crank out some incredible television with big budgets to boot.

'Counterpart' is good, but it complicates itself for no reason and takes itself down its own rabbit hole and that's just the first series!!

I will check out the second series at some point this week.

I know of 4 Blocks but haven’t gone over to streaming yet. It’s on DVD and German editions often do have subtitles so I might take a chance as I am very keen to see it.
 
Good programme on Channel 5 last night - Ben Fogle - Inside Chernobyl.

He got to wander around Pripyat. Amazing to see how the wildlife has taken over. He also got good access to the control room in unit 4 and under the steel and concrete plug that has been built over the core.

Uninhabitable for 20,000 years! Although as he shows, somebody does still live there.
 
Finished Your Honor last night, I thought that it was brilliant.
Another recent series that was good Zero, Zero, Zero. I thought Devils was OK too.

Had no idea there was 2 series already out, thought it was new on BBC2 last night. What are they all available on?

Edit: just checked and all available. Good stuff as thought id have to wait.

That is good. I was going to wait until they were all available before watching but I can start tonight now.

I think series 2 is about something completely different - different cast, characters, settings etc.
