Yeah that bloke who plays River isnt the best is he?
Aye.
I'm off this week and planned to do a few things plus binge watch.
Also got hit with a chest bug (which does it's own thing with my asthma) so trying to rest it off asap.
Just started it and looks good (cast looks superb too).
Started Deadloch last night - will continue to watch and the Tasmanian backdrop feels interesting (and something you don't see on tv often)....but jury out for the time being.
Deadloch was utterly ruined by the 'outsider' female detective. Totally over the top, annoying and unbelievable. Tried The Americans?
True Detective S1 is excellent, but S2 is awful, don’t bother.All the light you cannot see on netflix is well worth a watch
Also got around to watching the first series of true detective on sky , enjoyable
Definitely all about opinions but I've loved all of the True Detective series, I'm looking forward to the Jodie Foster one early next year.True Detective S1 is excellent, but S2 is awful, don’t bother.
Some great shouts there.For light hearted go to comedy when theres nowt on and you aint in the mood for anything too heavy;
The detectorists
Two doors down
Catastrophe
Motherland
Loved S1 but got nowhere with S2. Just did not get in to it at all. Is S3 better than S2?True Detective S1 is excellent, but S2 is awful, don’t bother.

Season 2 is not that bad per se and on its own is watchable. It's just when you compare it to season 1 the problems start as season 1 ranks up there with the best of TV shows. Season 3 is definitely an improvement on 2 though.Yes. S3 is distinguished by the extraordinary performance of Mahershala Ali. I really liked it.
Only problem: I am also one of the few people who enjoyed S2.
So you may need to seek further reassurance from others.
The neighbour christine is a fab character. As is colin, who is very discreetly funny.Some great shouts there.
Two Doors Down is one of the best out there, as easy watching as it gets.
Yeah. Kirsten Scott Thomas (of course I would) and Oldman are fantastic actors.Find it a really odd one. Not watched S3 but the first couple of seasons, I thought any scene with either Oldman or Scott Thomas is superb but some of the rest of the acting and also some of the plot lines are almost soap opera level of bad.
I genuinely enjoyed S2. Some really tense moments. Dark and seedy (but that's pretty much TD summed up!).Yes. S3 is distinguished by the extraordinary performance of Mahershala Ali. I really liked it.

I just found some of this secret stuff, the set ups, the fight scenes unbelievable. So the magic was lost unfortunately.
The end of S1 - that was the bit that I withdrew my support and I'm unlikely to return. Bit of Line of Duty (which I couldn't abide) mixed with general MI5 capers.
Can't recall the last time I really bought into a British TV drama., We seem to excel at comedy and those writers and producers go on to great work in Hollywood, or American TV (Armando Iannucci, Jesse Armstrong, Joe Cornish....).
I think Utopia ("Where is Jessica Hyde?") was a benchmark. Willing to be educated on other stuff mind.

Really looking forward to S4.

Enjoyed Mark Gatiss's Christmas Ghost Story over xmas. Kit Harrington in a rather different role to Jon Snow.
Me and my lad really enjoyed Ghosts (one of the shows we bonded over) so suggested What We Do in the Shadows might be fun I(it's got Matt Berry in it for a start).
But I'll be starting the new Fargo tonight. Right after this Arselol game....
Ahh ace.What We Do in the Shadows is great. The original films worth a watch too.
Ooh - might be one for the cold, dark January blues.Binge-watched 2 series of "State of Happiness" on BBC, subtitled Norwegian drama about start of oil industry. Think it may have been about a while but just noticed on I-Player.
Brilliantly acted and well paced, with real character development over a 10 year arc. One for Borgen fans.
