    Not sure if it's been mentioned on this thread already but I've been watching 'Power', it's brilliant if you like Gangster/Drug Dealer Crime series, exec producer is 50 cent.

    Only on the first episode of season 2 myself but I think the series is nearly concluding on live tv, 2 episodes of this series left I think.

    Definitely worth a watch. Very positive reviews in the US.

    New series of 24hrs in police custody has just started. Well worth a watch.

    I watched that, thought it was great and why we need the BBC

    Hmmmm, any more tips for lighter stuff, more like that recent languid British comedy gem, "The Detectorists", or the wry "W1A"?

    Just started watching Banshee . Very graphic . Quite ridiculous at times but thoroughly entertaining. All four seasons are available on catch up.

    Anybody seen Black Sails, showing on the History channel? Watched the first two episodes and finding it pretty good. Very graphic and definitely not a Pirates of the Caribbean version of how pirates lived.

    I watched the first one and have the second one to watch. it's a little too cute for my liking and the CGI of the boat on the water was very poor but i will give the second episode a try.

    Penultimate True Detective last night. It's got good at last and finally I started to care about the characters.

    The first one was tons better but this one is having a go. 90 minute finale next week

    Its a bit Enid Blyton in terms of naivety.
    Caught up with The Interceptor, dear oh dear, utter pony, from the scripts to the acting and as for casting Trevor Eve as the Mr Big Nasty, please!

    If you've got on demand - Scrotal Recall is good. I also loved Broad City on Comedy Central but it won't be to everyone's taste.

    I stuck with Interceptor to the end.
    The thought that The Trevor Eve character would Knife his right hand man who had been loyal to him for 20 years on the say so of a young punk who had been around for 5 minutes was so far fetched.
    The unit ? couldn't they come up with a better name than that.
    The Craig David look a like was a flaky leading character but i seen worst, and they left the young punk free, so a 2nd series in in the making.

    I do hope not, it was so bad all the the way through, I watched it hoping it would improve.
    Now in the Autumn the next Peaky Blinders is due to start, that is a series worth watching.

    I enjoyed it despite not having an inkling of what was going on at times.

    Like the first series it got better as it went on. The last 3 eps were great!

    Anyone watching Witnesses, the French police thriller on Channel 5. Absolutely compulsive viewing imo.

    Wet Hot American Summer on Netflix - starring some big A-List names (Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Kristen Wiig and loads of others) is really very, very funny. A comedy based on US summer camps in the 80s (and of the original film) and totally ripping the genre to pieces.

    Yes, we're fans of that one, bb.

    Oh dear oh dear, lasted 10 mins with that rubbish imo - It must have improved, or maybe just not us?

    (One episode of) "Broad City" was irritating, so gave up - thought we'd like it as we did say, "Girls", but not clever or funny imo. Watched the "Scrotal Recall" trailer, passably amusing. Will get it off "the high seas";)

    At the risk of sounding like Riv on an RIP thread - A listers?

    I have heard of Cooper. When I look down the cast list, I see Amy Poehler who I know from being one of the three people in Europe who watched Parks & Recreation. This also made me realise that I should have known Paul Rudd too, but A listers, GWE? Really? :smile:
