Never goes anywhere, never gets there, and nothing comes together. Pure forced wtf for the sake of being wtf.

Thought Dark was a great series and worthy of its high review scores on rotten tomatoes.

Hmm, and what do you call good TV, Heartbeat, Juliet Bravo or even Bergerac..?

Watched the first episode of Ripley. Bored shitless. About 20 mins of story and 40 mins of self indulgent art house cinema. Pointelss frames over and over every 2 seconds. Why the fuck is it in black and white? Tells you all you need to know. Pretentious.

Ripley getting praised mainly for the cinematography and B&W used for noir in reviews not the story pacing and acting.
so don't think I will bother.

Shogun - best telly of this year if you don't like it not sure what to say, it stays faithful to the book, gives respect to the setting (has been praised in Japan for it's authenticity of the Edo period) is well acted and paced

Fallout - brilliant, well acted, good pacing and story, caught the tone and feel of the source material.

Depends what genres and formats you like your TV to be but liking these does not require a wobble of the head anymore than people who watch corrie or a place in the sun, a simple I like it or I don't is sufficient tbf :-)

Reading an interview with Gadd, and how it is as close to the true experience he had as is possible.
