I got quite into that but missed a few episodes then never caught up. Will have to give it another go.Son of Mathonwy wrote:Happy to see that the Paramount Channel is showing The Strain from the beginning. The best horror series on TV in recent years and one of the best series of any sort IMO.
Whether that means they'll eventually show the as yet unaired in the UK final series... we can only hope.

Narcos season 4, have they deliberately de glamorised the whole thing, good guys and bad? Still enjoying it but not the same which might be a good thing really

"A Very Secret Service" on Netflix. A satirical comedy about French spies in the 60's with episodes largely centred around decolonisation (Algeria, in particular), the Cold War, French bureaucracy, 60's culture shift and Frenchmen generally being Frenchmen. It's good stuff as long as you don't mind subtitles, or can parlez vous the Francais. Also features an episode focused on a 5N test.

Escape at Dannemora is quite good, on Sky Atlantic. Benicio Del Toro and Paul Danno play two inmates looking to escape prison, based on a true story.

I thought this was fucking great. Acting was brilliant from basically everybody. Does a very good job of making you ask yourself why you're rooting for these guys.Numbers wrote:Escape at Dannemora is quite good, on Sky Atlantic.

The freeze frames and all the madly stylised stuff was a weird addition, but really worked for me, for some reason.

Also thought it was really good how they placed the flashback in as they escaped. As you say people would be rooting for then and then you are told just how much of a cunt they are

Half way through Das Boot and enjoying it, despite Lizzy Kaplan not being arsed speaking in French with all the frigs in the room but miraculously understating what they're saying. Not quite getting the claustrophobia that I did with the film yet.

Line of Duty started again yesterday, this is excellent drama imo, it should be good as Stephen Graham is playing the main baddie in this one.

I was curious about this simply because it’s got Vicky McClure in it. Stephen Graham is great in basically everything he’s in. It’s definitely not just like The Bill?Numbers wrote:Line of Duty started again yesterday, this is excellent drama imo, it should be good as Stephen Graham is playing the main baddie in this one.

If you're keen to watch it you'll need to start from the beginning, the series' are not stand alone.
It's fundamentally about police corruption and the unit that investigates it, it makes for some compelling viewing.

It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
