Just finished Stay Close, the latest Harlan Coben 8 part series on Netflix. Contains James Nesbitt, Jo Joyner, Richard Armitage and Sarah Parish. I wasn't convinced by the main female character. A good watch imo.
I also enjoyed the film Don't Look Up and Death to 2021.
Nearly finished Maid. Really didn't think it was my sort of thing but it's really good. The lead actress is excellent but Andy Macdowell as her eccentric bi-polar mum really steals the show.
Really is excellent. It wasn’t until I finished the series that I discovered that the lead actress is Macdowell’s real life daughter !
No one has mentioned "Anne" on ITV. Yet it's all over my Twitter feed, huge plaudits for Maxine Peake in the title role. I guess people are avoiding it because they know it will be a tough watch. I'll have to take a deep breath myself, I still have a copy of "Hillsborough -never Forgotten" saved to remind me how furious and drained it left me. Hope ITV Hub works for me so I can watch it - I find it the worst streaming hub of any I use.
Quite enjoying it, a nice easy watch and Luci is very easy on the eye - didn't recognise her as being from Our Girl
She was the newer woman in the last series of Line of Duty too, the one who did all the work while Steve worried about drugs tests and Ted scowled at people over a bannister.

Hillsborough fatigue - had enough misery porn, we all know the story and there have been others dramas based on it already.
Book of Boba Fett has just sated my appetite for all things star wars related that Disney plus can throw at me
Really love the way they have expanded the universe in this and especially the Mandalorian
Thought the first episode was a bit slow and I'm not sure about the lead actor
Can't say the first 2 episodes have done much for me. The Mandalorian improved as it went on son hopefully this does the same
His stupid shiny dentures shone their way through the desert and he can’t keep his hat on for 5-minutes and his black “under suit” because he’s much fatter than old Jeremy was (RIP) are making this look like an expensive flop to me…..

Enjoyed ep 1 but was a bit short, thought ep 2 was better again, at least partly because it was nearly a full hour instead of 30 minutes. Interested to see where its going!

I have recorded 'Anne' and will probably watch at the weekend, as have been watching Four Lives this week.
Four Lives and a subsequent documentary on the police failings in catching Stephen Port made me so angry. I'm sure I'll be feeling the same after watching Anne.

I do understand that take - it was my first instinct when I read about it. But I gave it a go last night, just e1 so far, and it is every bit as good as they are saying.
And they still have not seen justice, have they? Which is the best reason to watch.

I understand Hillsborough fatigue but Anne is a series that should be watched if for nothing else but the acting of MP

New series of The Sinner out this month on Netflix.
With Afterlife and Ozark coming too, it's a decent start to the year.
ladyromford and I only discovered The Sinner just last week. Only tried it because she likes Bill Pullman. Swept through season one in no time. Very good. 4 episodes into season 2 now. Glad there’s another 2 seasons to look forward to!
A Very British Scandal. Has there ever been a programme with two such detestable leaders figures? Well acted Foy and Bettany but you just wanted them both to go down in flames.

The acting was superb but as you say two truly detestable characters.

Just finished watching Four Lives - police investigation was a disgrace.

Didn’t disappoint.

Channel 4 have been promoting it for ages.

Still highly addictive though and ended well, was more enjoyable than the previous season and film.
Also, Beavis and Butthead is back this year:
Great little series.
Have seen @vff mention it a couple of times.
What an absolute pile of shite. That’s six hours of my life I have wasted.
