TV Series

Just got a dvd of the first season of Carnivàle.

Hints of the supernatural

Intriguing premise
Wow, that took me back. I had to Google it but it was released back in 2003 (not sure when it made it to these shores).

We loved it, but sadly it only made it to the 2nd series out of a planned 6, so you are going to be left wanting at the 'end'.
 
I’ve heard some people rave about it, for me it was just good but nothing like in the same league as a Line of Duty or Unforgotten etc. Too many holes in the script and in the end quite unbelievable
I think the biggest take home was "If you ever find yourself in this situation, keep the circle of trust as small as possible".
Whilst I enjoyed it, and it's one of the few series that gripped me in the first 10 minutes, once he started to involve anyone outside of him and his Son, it was just going to get too complicated and was going down that "Prison Break" route
 
The thing about 'Your Honor' is that it focuses on the character dynamics of two people and really, only one. In that way, the show suffers, but it does throw in some interesting characters that make defining choices.

It's not supposed to be a thriller, but a character study and a look at Humanity and its limits.

I know if I were the main protagonist, there's not much different I would do, if I were in his shoes.
 
I’m midway through the second season of Ray Donovan.

I didn’t realise Hank Azaria was so jacked.
 
Just finished “The Man In Room 301”. Finnish drama - not your typical Scandinavia noir in that some of it takes place in Greece and the police don’t feature much. There is a crime and the series plays out over two timelines.

A solid 7/10 but worth a watch - all 6 episodes on iPlayer.
