I’m midway through season 3 of the original at the mo, when did the heyday last up to?

For me, it finished at series 3 (I don't use "season" I'm not American).

I thought 'Dexter' broke the mould at the time. Had TV ever let the viewer follow the daily escapades of a serial killer before?! I don't recall so.

But now we're used to it and it'll never get back there again.

Never thought of that before, I use series for U.K. tv shows and seasons for American ones. Always just done it subconsciously!

First 6 episodes of Alien Earth down 2 to go.
It's pretty good, but these Androids or synthetics are so dumb. Why didn't they download intelligent people into them instead of kids?(
 
Marianne on Netflix. French series from 2019 with English dubbing. We are two episodes in and all I can say is, turn out the lights and turn up the volume and enjoy. I also recommend not watching alone.

They tried with adults and it didn't go well, the kids minds are more flexible so give more chance of working (not 100% as you'll have seen with the red(?) head).
 
I had an underpants Monday after the Derby. After watching the highlights of our win on Sunday I watched the full series of David Simon’s The Corner.

Much like the first series of The Wire it’s set in Baltimore but instead of focussing on the police and low level dealers it concentrates on the users. It’s a pretty harrowing and depressing watch.

Although there is a little bit of light at the end of the final episode when there’s brief interviews with the real people who had managed to detox and who the main character’s are based on.

Although it is rough and ready, shows its age and some of the acting is a bit wooden and the camera work erm gritty. If you loved The Wire you’ll probably like this.

From what I understand, the early iterations of these shows were using real life citizens/ amatuer actors which is why some of the acting seems stilted.
 
Really enjoyed the doc about Twiggy. What a beautiful, talented and intelligent woman. Fame at an early age but dealt with it sensibly and developed a great and varied career.

Meanwhile in 2025 we get given Bonnie F**king Blue
 
Watched ep 7 of Alien Earth, some divisive choices but the two playing the young kids were excellent dealing with Arthur's predicament.

The last 2 minutes, just felt it went a bit melodramatic. Let's hope the series gets the finale it deserves. Seems season 2 is more or less confirmed too.
