Money heist grew on me over time. Actually preferred the second season to the first. Enjoyable hokum. White lines I stuck with, without ever coming to terms with the basic premis of a hedonistic northern knob apparently having so much charisma he sucked in a whole swathe of population including all the local mafia family. Total bollocks
I found Unorthodox on Netflix to be excellent. Different and refreshing, with a good sense of completeness to the story, and some great performances. Illuminating. A four episode series.
I'm with you on this except for the sense of completeness. I think it cries out for a second series, although as the series is based on her autobiography maybe that's not possible.
I'm watching Cardinal on BBC2. A Canadian policeman dealing with murder. Lots of snow. It's series 4 apparently. If you enjoy the Scandanavian detective programmes you should like this. Available on i player. 8/10.
Just finished Mr Winner. Hilarious in parts, the piano one was genius.
Spencer Jones is a surreal character. Have you ever seen any of his stand up or that Herbert Clunkerdunk show that he did on TV. Very weird......but funny.
I would imagine a pint or two with him and Noel Fielding would be an experience......

We saw Spencer Jones at the Soho Theatre. the funniest thing ever. As is Herbert Clunkerdunk. I often find myself walking along singing his songs. 'Bullshit' for example. and Jonny Wallop is the best character.

I have watched the previous series on BBC4, but thought I had only seen 2 - perhaps my memory is going. Thought last night's two episodes were good.
I finally got round to watching the third series of Fauda and thought it was the best of the lot. Finished White Lines yesterday. I found it entertaining, but so many holes in the plot and thought it nose dived after episode 3.
Think I will give up after 3 episodes of the Last Dance. I don't like Basketball and I wasn't really getting it like so many others.
Would be interested on views of some series I may start - Bad Blood, Wanted, Lost Girls, The Inmate and When Heroes Fly.
Finished Defending Jacob last week and thought it was quite good despite a couple of questionable plots.
Watched all 12 episodes of Normal People yesterday. The first two episodes were decent but the rest I felt were quite self- indulgent. A few hours wasted. The lead actress is very pretty and looks very much like Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson, which was partly why I kept watching the series....
Quick shout to overseas users who use VPN for BBC. Which are reliable for you? I have finally lost patience with Zenmate. They keep being rumbled by the BBC ( and C4/ITV).

Agree totally on Normal People, nicely shot but could have been a film. Self indulgent sums it up.
I didn't realise there were 12 until the 6th episode finished and no sign of a conclusion.
Really enjoying caliphate, the Swedes do make good TV.

Spencer Jones lives in Plumstead and was my brother’s neighbour. In the episode ‘Jingles’ he got my brother to play Tubby Taylor!
The sound effects and kiddy feel was getting to me, but will give it another go and if doesn't cut the mustard, then revert back to watching the daily Govt updates!
Just finished the Lees and Falconio murders doc on C4. Disappointing ending. Thought there would be some new news. Defo something dodgy going on that they haven’t got to the bottom of not likely ever will.

Series 2 lined up for tonight's entertainment.
