Half way through The Haunting of Hill House. Best series since Gomorrah, although completely different. Great script and brilliantly chosen cast. It’s a horror but there’s a really well constructed narrative that’s heartfelt and sad in places. Don’t watch it at night on your own though. No gore but jumpy as fook. 9/10.
A Dangerous Dynasty .. the Assads .. a bit drawn out but very interesting, taught me a lot about the middle east crises .. ep1 on iPlayer, ep2 tomorrow (16/10) and final ep3 next week
Will definitely watch this - Mediterranean(BBC) the Simon Reeve series also did some interesting stuff on problems in Cyprus and the Middle East.
Thats where I am with The Cry at the moment - it's so tedious. I literally couldnt give a shit who did what to who (hopefully nobody comes back to say its based on a true story).

If you want really really really shit tv drama try Wanderlust(BBC) - utter garbage with a script written by a 12 year old.
I've watched most of the first season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. It's very Mad Men in its attention to detail (i.e. recreating 1950's Manhattan) and both the scripts and the lead are very sharp. I'm genuinely surprised that the show hasn't got more of a buzz about it.
I loved Mad Men, so will deffinately check this out.

Not based on it exactly, but it's got huge overtones of the Madeleine McCann case.

said exactly the same to my missus whilst watching it Sunday night

Exactly my thoughts
Why?, did the McCanns cover up the death of their child ?

Half way through The Haunting of Hill House. Best series since Gomorrah, although completely different. Great script and brilliantly chosen cast. It’s a horror but there’s a really well constructed narrative that’s heartfelt and sad in places. Don’t watch it at night on your own though. No gore but jumpy as fook. 9/10.
Caught up with the entire series of Informer tonight & thoroughly recommend it to everyone that enjoys a plot with several twists & turns and a finale that wasn't predicted 80% of the way through.
However, I wasn't totally en song with the last 5 minutes or so but will look forward to the views of other Lifers once the series ends.

Started Black mirror - Netflix a few days ago, 3 episodes in quite decent with a few futuristic things, not quite sure what the theme is eg. Thriller/ comedy, goes between a bit of everything, quite enjoying them so far.
LOVE Black Mirror, one of the few series I get really excited about when it comes out. Some of the best TV about, the ep with the young lad and the troll face at the end is brilliant imo.
THERE SHE GOES(BBC) - comedy drama that anyone who has raised a child with learning disabilities will be able to relate to. Stars David Tennant and Jessica Hynes. On IPlayer.

Just started watching this - very informative and some of the footage is pretty shocking. Doesn't fill you with any hope about the Middle East.
The very opposite of a new series but we've been rewatching Seinfeld from the beginning on Amazon. Utter, utter genius and George Costanza is easily in my top three comedy characters of all time. It has stood the test of time remarkable well too. Treat yourself, if you've never seen it.

Started this last night and am halfway through. It's brilliant and really quite chilling at times.

9/10.
Quite getting into this, although last one this week. Quite a few twists already, left me very confused end of the 2nd episode.
If it was a pet, I'd put it down.
However, I wasn't totally en song with the last 5 minutes or so but will look forward to the views of other Lifers once the series ends.
Very good actors too IMO.
Stars David Tennant and Jessica Hynes.
