Finished Lockerbie yesterday. Strong start, but it tailed off quite alarmingly imo. Ended up watching the last episode simply because I'd watched the previous 4.
Watched Lockerbie and thought it was good.....have a personal attachment as my wife is American and we were living in London in 1988 and her good friend came over to visit his brother who was doing a semester abroad in London from Syracuse University....we met up with them and the brother was going back to the USA for Xmas and was unfortunately on the Pan Am flight that was blown up.....very sad
Just binged the last part of Cobra Kai after it was released on Thursday (Netflix)
One of the best nostalgia shows to be made... Felt that Part two was the right time to bring it to an end, the writing whilst its always been cheesy felt stale... Part Three though raised the bar just a little bit better than P2; really ended on a nice note
Just catching up with lastest series of Unforgotten. Some very clever and brave social commentary going on in the background. Particularly enjoyed the piss take of GB news

It's all social commentary and very little plot. In fact the plot barely moved at all in part 2, it was too busy cramming in little people, boat people, replicating GB News and Shamina Begum, gay men ad infinitum.
Even The Guardian said so. It's no wonder the wonderful Nicola Walker chose to jump ship after series 4.

Interesting take in the Guardian review. Only seen first 2 episodes but enjoying it and looking forward to watching the rest of the series. The social commentary makes it all the more interesting from my point of view.
I like Dhand books. New Virdee TV series was slated by critics, but I'm hoping it was trying to flesh out the characters rather than rushing into gore and car chases.
My favourite Bond book was 'the Spy who Loved Me' where the action didn't start until more than halfway through the narrative.

New one I read is The Chemist, first of his I've read but really enjoyed it - all about a pharmacist who has regulars getting methadone getting dragged into turf wars.
Thought the first episode was very slow but I agree worth sticking with to see where it goes.
Sky Atlantic are showing Homocide - Life on the streets. Is it as good as The Wire? Worth a watch?
No. Nothing's as good as The Wire anyway, but this is a bog standard By The Numbers cop procedural.
Thank you Leroy.
Shame others just decided to take the piss out of my spelling 🙄 It's spelt murder really & it fecks me off we've been americanised in our police forces.

depends on your point of view on the various issues and the objectivity, or otherwise. I want to watch a drama, not be lectured on the about various issues in an unsubtle, one-sided way

This weeks episode of Virdee was 100% better than the first episode. Glad I kept with it.

Obviously the second part of the game got very dark and am wondering whether the series will follow the same path.......

Homicide is the term for the everyday killing of a human being lol

Was a massive story in the US around 2022. Not sure if it made news in the UK.
