Finished the Stranger

Last episode rushed and a bit daft - Adam and Katz are mid-fight when the police burst in, but the cover story somehow means he had time to hide a gun in the wall? How was Tripp's and Corrine's murder explained? Katz did both, but via different methods?

agreed, shame about the ending but still reasonably enjoyable

seems unlikely any of the streaming services will pick it up as they’d alluded that 8 would of been the end anyway..... I wasn’t shocked at the decision, however, it’s a ratings game and it’s been down for the last couple of seasons.

One thing with the show though is it can be revisited, much like the Sopranos it stands up, I’ll just miss the characters!

Yeah the characters were fantastic, really grow on you, which i wasn't really expecting if I'm honest and some brilliant lines, the "there's only two things I'm good at" quote by Micky Donovan probably my favourite ever ;-)

Has Silent Witness outlived it’s sell by date or what? Watched a two parter from the current series - needs putting out of its misery. Cast list of about 7 people. Not sure what universe they operate in.

SW is the most depressing show on TV for me. I'm not against dark plots or tragedy, but jesus christ they're just so fucking miserable.
 
Finished The Witcher last night and it was good, but for from great. However I do feel like series two could be much better as hopefully the time lines have come together and it’s now come together, though very very last minute.
 
Currently mid-way through series 3 of The Leftovers. Every few episodes I think I'm ready to call it off for being a bit confined as well as supremely gruelling and depressing...only to give it one more episode... I've ended up almost obsessed with it, not the plot, but the characters, performances and themes. A very impressive show that undergoes noticable changes in setting, emphasis, presentation... takes a bunch of chances, left turns, constantly threatening to totally overwhelm the viewer, then seeming to ease off, only to come back fresher and harder with another way of exploring the universal theme of the inescapable and desperate cost of being a human in an unfeeling universe that deals out loss and abandonment like it's nothing. Last nights was possibly the best I've seen so far, suddenly shifting to a wonderfully realised Australian outback setting following Roy Schieder, who is simply as good as it gets on any screen anywhere, only for Lindsay Duncan to pop up as a Guest star at the last minute and turn in a show stealing appearace.

I loved all 3 seasons of the leftovers.

Towards the end, I can recall being in tears for unknown reasons! But yes, like you I was ready to bin it each week, but always came back for more.
