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)
Thank you, dear Jean! I'm alright Hope you are well too
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.
I finished it last Sunday. I must admit I'm a soft person and shed a lot of tears watching this series. I loved the ending so much. The young actress who plays Marie did a wonderful job for the whole series I think.
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.

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.
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.

That’s a great article, superb responses by Mercurio.
After watching Capture, A Confession is proving slow and hard to watch.
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

Well it's a true "story". Look it up.
what in 'fiction based on fact' don't you understand ? .. I KNOW the background is true, but I, no more than you do know how much fiction has been added to give it dramatic credence .. end of .. get back to your discussions about Leko's performance and rating

Why do you feel the need to be so rude?
I was answering a response from @LargeAddick .. if you wish to avoid having your feelings hurt, keep out of other people's issues .. and.. you think that's rude ? .. you should hear me during our games
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.

Putting it out now in the light of current politics is an interesting decision.
Well worth a read.
Also, has anyone watched Das Boot? Watched a couple and thought it were quite good.
Also enjoyed the 3 series of The Tunnel.
Clemence Posey was excellent too, in fact everyone in that was good
Watched the first couple of Das Boot and got bored
