Joe Pickett on Prime... slow start but gripping in the end. 10 episodes and set up for a second series. ( I think it's been made but can't find it as yet).
A spy amongst friends. Afraid I lost patience with it after enduring two episodes. Very slow and wasn't gripped by the story.
A friend mentioned it to me yesterday. I thought it looked like a series I'd be interested in but I don't like those extremely slow series or films so reading your comment I guess I won't like this one either...
Enjoyed Strike. The book is over long with many threads, so they did a good job of changing the timeline around to give each episode it's own story, even if some bits seemed rushed.
White Lotus is a weird one for me, its definitely got its moments and just falls to the right side of the usual style over substance shit Sky put out. I preferred this series to the first, just. I laughed out loud at the "I've got this" toward the end and found a lot of the Italian dialogue most amusing. If I'm honest I might have stuck with this one to see more of Simone Tabasco and Audrey Plaza rather than to see where the bodies came from
Watched first 2 episodes of Strike. Good to see Daniel Peacock in something. Been a while but boy does he look old
always enjoy the Strike adaptations.. I am also a big fan of the books which are usually VERY long and complicated .. seeing what plots and dodgy characters have been left out or amended is very interesting

Watched half of the first series and gave up, which I don't usually do. Just didn't really get what it was trying to be
I have to say I’ve enjoyed previous series of Strike but this one left me totally bored. Gave up half way through second episode. Just couldn’t get into it.

What's happened to his leg/limp now ? First series he is moaning & groaning if he had to walk more than 100 yards & even took it off (its false in case you haven't seen the series) to rest his leg. Now he is practically running everywhere & no hint of a limp.
Then again I doubt you'd be limp if you had to act opposite Holiday Grainger. (One for the innuendo thread)

without 'spoiling' ... that occurred to me as well .. aside from that, the books must be VERY hard to abridge and adapt, for me this was not a particularly good adaptation of the book .. shouldn't affect his stump though .. agree about Holiday, a real yummy yum lol

Based in Vancouver, a University professor recruits staff for Canadian MI5/6 equivalents.
Two series, 20 episodes in total. Excellent fare if you like spy programmes like Spooks.
4 part series.
Watched 2 episodes last night and the other 2 this afternoon.
Very good, as they all have been.
Absolutely incredible and a must watch if you’ve never seen it.

Looking foreword to another in this lovingly crafted series.
