Whether that means they'll eventually show the as yet unaired in the UK final series... we can only hope.

I got quite into that but missed a few episodes then never caught up. Will have to give it another go.

Enjoy!

The Deuce, Even if with James Franco

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.

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

I was even more impressed when I found out it was Ben Stiller directing it.

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

Aye, the backstory episode was much needed.

Watched it there great acting and good show, lyle was great

Del Toros character killed more than 1 person must read up on sweat

Sweat doesn't appear to be much of a person either unsurprisingly

Arquette did a pretty good job as the burnt out town bike.

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.

Seriously pissed off that this is on Sky as I've only got the cooncil satellite.

3 identical strangers, this ruined my evening. Rotten Jewish psychiatrists conduct amoral social experiment. Really good but not nice

Vice - dick Cheney is a thundercunt

Heard this was good, but equally disturbing.

Downloaded and will check it out tomorrow.

American Gods Season 2 starts today on Amazon Prime, I quite enjoyed the first run.

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?

No, not like The Bill, Martin Compston is no Reg.

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.

My word they've started with even more of a bang this time!
