Started watching Luther as every fucker was talking about it. First series was great, second series not great, third series I'm bored. Shall I bother continuing to watch it?
The relationship between Luther and Alice Morgan was brilliantly conceived and written. Alice is such a compelling character you find yourself empathising with her even though you know she's a psycho killer. I spent the whole of series 4 desperately hoping they didn't kill her off.
I read recently that the writer has written a spin-off series about Alice and was given the green light by the producers. This was supposedly 18 months or more ago, since when nothing more has been heard.

Bring it on. I want more Alice.
I actually found the Alice storyline a bit tiresome in the latest series.
I'm enjoying the first season of Patriot. The show has a Wes Anderson feel that isn't usually my thing but the pacing and dark humour had got me hooked.
Started watching Cleaning up, not really sure about it. Not that bad as i dont mind Sheridan Smith so will probably stick with it, yesterday half watched in the background so not a good sign.
Next new series been told Luther so will probably give that a go soon
Thought Manhunt was excellent. Martin Clunes is a mighty fine actor. There was some artistic licence as characters and events were invented for dramatic effect, we were told this. However the biggest thing from this was that although dear old DCI Sutton was an old school detective who relied on methodical police work, taking the long and laborious route to collect evidence we all know that 99% of all serious crimes are solved through information received. A great TV drama nonetheless.
Watched it last night. Not really a fan of Martin Clunes but really enjoyed this. Agreed, great TV drama.
My brother and his other half raved about her book for years, I get it now. Great watch and revoluionsary imo.
My missus read the book and started doing peculiar things with her sock drawer and then when this came along she made me watch it, doesn’t hurt that she is just a smidge gorgeous too eh..
Anybody watched the new series of Star Trek Discovery? I thought I'd give it a chance to see if they'd learnt anything from the train wreck of the first series and tried to fix it. If anything, it's even worse. Michael Burnham is even more of an objectionable and insufferable know-it-all. I didn't think that was possible.
Has anyone watched “Britain’s Youngest Football Boss” on BBC3/iPlayer? It’s a documentary Netflix style aabout David Sullivan’s 18 year old son’s attempt to be managing director of West Ham Ladies. I was half way through episode 2 before I realised that it wasn’t a spoof. I’m speechless.

Yeah he doesn't have a clue does he?. Episode 3 is available atm. Think they beat us in a cup competition so may feature in future episodes.
Watched the first series of Tin Star but was clinging on by my fingertips towards the end. Really just wanted to see what happened. Got three quarters of the way through the first episode of season two last night and gave up. Utter nonsense. Absolutely no empathy with any of the characters. Won’t be bothering with the rest.
Has anyone watched F is for Family on Netflix? I’ve ploughed through the first three seasons in record time. Kind of like a ruder King of the Hill animated series, really enjoyed it.

Agree with that.
Persevered to the end of the first series, but only just to see how it finished.
Wasn't intending to even start series two, and by the sound of it that seems like a good plan!

Thought the third series was weak in comparison to the first two. The scene where Bill is under the bed while his parents are at it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

If you're a fan of FIFF, I recommend Big Mouth
I’ll give it a go!
Re FIFF, because I watched it all back to back I didn’t really notice when one season turned into another. Don’t think a fourth season has been approved yet?
the Sheridan Smith thing really is dross but I've watched the first four episodes so will stick with it for the last two. Death in Paradise has had it's day now and it's gotten too ridiculous for words.
Anyone else watching ‘American History’s Biggest Fibs’ by Lucy Worsley on BBC4? A very insightful potted history of, in the main, America’s political development. In 3 one hour episodes with the final part next Thursday.

She'll do any programme,as long as it gives her a chance to dress up in period costume.

Still would though !
She is a bit weird and as you say likes to ‘dress up’ 😉
I do find her programmes very watchable and this one is particularly good especially given the current state of US politics (not that ours is much better).

I've watched the first episode and thought it was very good. I know next to nothing about American history, so it's a learning experience for me, but shocking how much of history is just basically bollocks that someone has made up.

Second episode is even better. Covers the Civil War and the undercurrents that exist today as a result.

Your loss.

Series 1 was definitely something special but this is looking very promising IMO.
Next new series been told Luther so will probably give that a go soon
This week’s episode had a 10 minute section that was as stated above.
It’s painful.
Persevered to the end of the first series, but only just to see how it finished.
