Watched all of unforgotten last week. Enjoyable and an emotional watch. Personally I don't see the need for a new character. I'd rather they promoted from within and gave us more time exploring the lives of the existing team.
On ITV this week. First episode was tonight / last night (depending on when you read this). Thriller staring Samantha Morton. Rather interesting first episode
Emily Watson (The Book Thief, Apple Tree Yard) takes the lead role of Dr. Emma Robertson, while Denise Gough (Paula) plays the manipulative Connie Mortensen.
Thalissa Teixeira, whose recent credits include Two Weeks to Live and the BBC Two love story Trigonometry, plays Connie’s so-called best friend, Ness Jones.
Other cast members include James Sives, Risteárd Cooper, Chizzy Akudolu, Karl Johnson, Eileen Davies, Nina Wadia and Paul Chahidi.
I’m always happy to watch anything with a western theme, but have never heard of this show, will add to my watchlist.
Jack O’Connell is an astonishing actor.
Watched it over the last two nights, very good indeed and highly recommended.
Jack O'Connell, as always, is excellent, as is Jeff Daniels, Michelle Dockery and Merrit Wever.
Hadn't realised that the writer/director also wrote and directed The Queens Gambit, as well as doing the screenplay for Logan, Minority Report and many others. Talented guy!
There is a 2nd series planned for November this year.

Good to know. Will start watching 1st series this weekend.
Wholeheartedly recommend The Tunnel (French/UK) version. Thanks to those that championed it. Spent my week of lockdown bingeing it. Now on season three. Excellent.
Dipping in and out am currently in the middle of series five of Schitts Creek. There is the advantage that each episode is only about 20 minutes long. I didn’t think I would like it, but the standard of acting is very good indeed, it is diverting and amusing, and it deals with ‘issues’ very well, with genuine heart as opposed to a box ticking approach. There is a kind of Detectorists (which I think is better) approach that looks at people in a rounded way warts and all, but with respect and affection. Reccomended.

Definitely one of my favourites over the last few years
I wanted a new gangstery type series and tried the first episodes of Sons of Anarchy and Narcos Mexico. Preferred Narcos I think though the acting in Anarchy was pretty good. Anyone seen both and have a view.

All I would say is that Narcos is far superior to Narcos Mexico, which is still excellent.

I enjoyed both but Son's was a bit silly at times.
I agree with @bolloxbolder Narcos is better than Narcos Mexico.
If you like Gangster TV series try
Suburra , Gomorrah or El Chapo .
Another really good series is Fauda which is about the Israel Defence Forces .

Sons of Anarchy doesn't hit its stride, until the third season for me. The first two are good and lots of seeds are planted but it becomes terrific s3 onwards. Genuinely one of the best series you can take on
Yeah I love Sons, recently rewatched it all. Is a bit silly at times but also a bit different to your typical gangster series. Think Carter is spot on that as long as you dont hate the first two series stick through it as it gets better and better.
I've just binged al six series Loved it; Martin and Jim could be two of the great comedy characters of recent years.
So, what next? Anything else with similar humour? Thinking of Peep Show as the writer was involved.
I suppose comedy is all personal taste but I loved
Friday Night Dinner Peep Show Spaced Inbetweeners
They are all slightly different though
I've watched the first couple of series of Peep Show. I like it but haven't found it bingeworthy though there a few laugh out loud moments. I'll finish it but over a period of time. Meantime I've started watching Green Wing and after ten minutes I wasn't sure but I'm hooked now. Dr Statham's recorder scene is one of the funniest things I've seen on TV in years! Also, to whoever suggested Fresh Meat, thanks. Great characters and some very funny bits.
Watched The Morning Show last week and was really impressed, a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
Now watching Defending Jacob which is also on Apple TV+ (making the most of my trial), 2 episodes in and really enjoying it. It seems quite similar to Your Honor but without the mob boss element.
Nice to have a break from subtitles, Gomorrah dragged for me and we only just made it to the end of series 3.
Know a few people have mentioned it on here but really enjoyed watching Bosch so far on Prime. Just started series 4. Like the fact it doesn't going into that loose cannon parody of the hard bitten detective
40 mins into Viewpoint on ITV and the ‘unrealistic’ vibes are through the roof.
You’ve got surveillance officer that doesn’t carry a charger, then a nosy neighbour that didn’t pick up the other camera she’d already been using or think about taking pictures on her high resolution smart phone.

How he wasn't spotted at the building site last night is beyond me.

How is he not spotted, standing at the window that has no curtains, looking through his surveillance camera all day?
Gonna guess the woman whose flat they are using is heavily involved in the disappearance
As usual several years behind but just finished Detectorists. What a lovely series, funny and charming and unmistakably English
One of my favourites. So gentle. Every character is so well thought out.
Tony Jones absolutely kills it, in fact all of the cast do they are magnificent and this sort of comedy amazes me how they can pull off the comedic effects as they must be pissing themselves half the time at the lines.

I do love her 😊
