    Fargo is great, River is really good, Unforgotten ain't bad, Returned 2 is a disappointing mess and From Darkness was surprisingly tosh.

    Have given up on Homeland. I know it's early in the series but I've been finding it so boring and don't really care about any of the characters now.

    Agreed. Unforgotten on ITV is good too. Just started catching up with Arne Dahl on iplayer, not quite as dark as the first "series" but still enjoyable.

    on the verge of giving up on Homeland, not bad but feels a bit pointless

    Been watching it but not really been impressed with it.

    The whole ghost thing is crap - why does he not just ask her what happened ?

    Must say I really enjoyed Arne Dahl last weekend, whereas I thought the first series was pretty mediocre by the high standards set for Scandi series. Then they keep running trailers for the return of The Bridge. Anybody know the start date yet?

    It's not a documentary.

    People with no imagination shouldn't be allowed to go near fiction. :wink:

    Anybody seen the TV series of the Evil Dead. The first episode was one of the most enjoyable things I've seen in yonks.

    Got it saved on my list, will give it a few eps before I binge watch. I've heard good things though.

    Watched the first episode of The man in the high castle.
    An Amazon made series set in the U.S but if the Nazi's and Japanese had won the second world war.
    Very promising.

    final episode of Unforgotten was rubbish, unfortunately they seem to have remembered they were ITV!

    He has hallucanations, he doesn't see ghosts. He was being followed by a guy who was alive, albeit in a coma, in episode three or four.

    Detectorists is an absolute gem of a programme.

    He called them manifests.

    Still think writer thought need a quirk, he needs a quirk. I know, dead people.

    Fargo is just brilliant. Better than the first series (and that takes some doing). Bokeem Woodbine is fantastic in it - although all the cast are superb, and the direction, storyline and script are wonderful.

    For me it's not quite as good (yet) but I'm really enjoying it, and I like that it's gone more Miller's Crossing.

    And yes, Mike Milligan is a great character. Episode 5 ups the ante a bit, I'm going to be gutted when it's over.
    You might be right on that. Maybe I need to re-watch the first series. I loved that so much, might just be the immediacy and novelty of having a second series that is great that makes me think it's 'better'. I think I'm pissed off that they killed off Joe Bulo - Brad Garrett was brilliant, and I was looking forward to seeing how it all played out between him and Mike Milligan.

    It's brilliant nonetheless

    I've read the book .. series/movies made from P K Dick stories are usually MUCH better than the original written material
  • Not new at at but ive just watched the original House of Cards, its only 3 episodes but they are great.

    At the moment it's close for me, they're both great but for different reasons. The latest episode is built around tension, it's a far cry from Season 1 and Lester but both have their merits. However, given the last 2 episodes (I've just watched 6), this season is building up to something huge - that will tip the scales in favour of Season 2 for me.

  • Hmmm. River was pretty good, but I had worked out whodunit very early on...

    Just turned into BBC1 to watch Cuffs. I must admit I was peeved to discover it was not indeed 'Are You Being Served?' set in Woolwich but a police drama!
