    Secret History - The Troubles. BBC4 6-parter on The IRA (mostly) from 1969 onwards. Gives a big fat lie that Gerry Adams & Martin Mcguinnes were just Sein Fein......

    Agree that Spotlight The Troubles has been revelatory in what it exposes really good documentary by the BBC

    Please forgive me if this has already been mentioned but just finished binge watching all 10 episodes of City on a Hill - Sky Atlantic.

    VERY good, with a sleazy FBI guy played by Kevin Bacon as one of the two main characters. 

    All episodes can be downloaded now. 
    I watched the pilot some weeks ago and really loved it. I didn't like waiting for an episode every week so I didn't follow the series. I'll definitely pick it all up next month.
    Think you'll enjoy it, Jessie.

    ( Hope you are well ! x)

    Not started it yet but 'Unbelievable' on Netflix is getting some rave reviews.
    Just watched the first episode after having read some positive reviews. It's really depressing. Very good series and I'll keep watching.
      We're 5 in now. It's harrowing and very good at the same time.

    The Troubles documentary is excellent.
    Putting it out now in the light of current politics is an interesting decision.

    A while ago when Series 5 of Line of Duty came out I admitted that i had never watched it, and @Chizz urged me to try and watch all the other series first. Best bit of homework anyone ever set me! So before i settle down to get to the end of Series 3 tonight, I thought I'd share with you this great Marina Hyde article that reveals that  Met Police head honcho Cressida Dick does not care for Jed Mercurio and all his works. Unfortunately for her, Mr Mercurio isn't intimidated by plod, and provides a highly robust response.  Mind you I did think that the police commissioner in Bodyguard was obviously meant to suggest Ms Dick, good lord, he even got Gina McKee to talk like her. 

    Well worth a read.

    Just finished Temple. Gonna contradict myself here, but found it weird and predictable.

    Also, has anyone watched Das Boot? Watched a couple and thought it were quite good.

    Also enjoyed the 3 series of The Tunnel.

    I really liked the tunnel, I have never seen Stephen Dillane do a bad turn in anything 

    Clemence Posey was excellent too, in fact everyone in that was good 

    Watched the first couple of Das Boot and got bored

    Caught up with Temple last night. Missed the first 30 mins of the first episode but just about got the hang of it. Suspending disbelief that you can just drive in & out of a tunnel that is within a working tube station.

    After watching Capture, A Confession is proving slow and hard to watch.

    That’s a great article, superb responses by Mercurio.

    A Confession is based on real life......it actually happened. I thought the last episode when they were at trial was harrowing.....as was when the FLO had to show the family the pictures of her in the ground. Made me well up......

    Advice. If you watch Charlton play again like they did on Saturday, and then follow it up in the evening by watching a series finale of Line of Duty, do not expect an early night's sleep. I wouldn't know but I imagine its much the same effect as knocking back three Jaegerbombs and a line of coke.

    Copper is set in New York in the 1860′s and revolves around Kevin Corcoran, a tough yet decent police detective, who returns from war to find his wife missing and his daughter dead, on Alibi.

    I like a bit of factual, 'real' stuff .. new on BBC2 on Mondays: 'What Britain Buys and Sells in a Day' .. fascinating and some jaw dropping stats .. Ed Balls is surprisingly good as a presenter
    Also still enjoying the odd episode of 'Who do You Think You Are' as well as the 2 fictional 'Cs' .. The Capture and The Confession

    I think 'Dark' might be amongst the best things I have ever watched on TV
    @Leroy Ambrose thought you'd like it.

    It has a certain 'Lost' quality don't you think?
    Well that's put me off right there.

    Take a half-baked idea, add intrigue, promise and disillusion and simmer relentlessly until completely baked
    Nothing like Lost. Time travel, yes - but not remotely formulaic. Season 1 was great - season 2 is an absolute mindfuck and - unlike Lost, you can clearly see that its been written to last three seasons, as lots of what happened in S1 that was pretty inexplicable now makes a lot of sense. Its extremely clever - but the acting and story elevates it above just 'clever for the sake of it'. 

    Just rewatched S1 and S2 and more of it makes sense on the second viewing.

    Up there with the best TV series I've ever seen. 
    Just finished binge watching series 1.
    Yep, I'm hooked - will launch straight into series 2.
    3 series is probably about right for this sort of thing imo, otherwise it ends up like a soap opera or they run out of ideas and botch the ending.

    Cos he made a tit of himself in not knowing it was a true story and is now trying to cover it up.
