Started watching Roadies on Amazon. As the name suggests it's about Roadies, on tour with a stadium size USA rock band. Even though the groupies shagging the crew and bouncing around naked have been limited to the pilot ep it's still a good watch. Each ep is loosely a date on the tour and features a performance by the "support" band plus a few other performances inc Reignwolf, Lindsay Buckingham, Eddie Veder, Halsey, Lucius, John Mellencamp & Robyn Hitchcock.
Can't search on my phone and can't remember most of this thread without going back through. However, has anyone seen The Fall? BBC serial killer drama set in Belfast, great little series and we'll worth a watch. Gillian Anderson is excellent. IMBD rating from UK viewers is 9.6, I've watched first two seasons in a week on amazon prime and now up to date via iplayer.
Watched the first series, personally found it 3 out of 5 kind of fare, but then I have always found Gillian Anderson's mono-expression face irritating. I've always thought her pretty wooden.
Pretty disturbed by Damned. An office full of low paid social workers in a poor part of London. Only one ethnic character who is the butt of everyone's jokes. I like Brand and Davies but what were they thinking? If it were on Beeb the tabloids would be all over it.

Enjoyed the first couple of series but starting to drag now and a bit far fetched. Though I hear there is talk of continuing the Gillian Anderson character (Stella Gibson) in a new series. Not sure if it is Anderson or her character I find irritating. Why no-one in the PSNI hasn't told her to clear off back to London I don't know. She is such a know-it-all. Mind you, it has just occurred to me that if there was to be a new drama set around a failing London football club that has a female CEO she could could play the part to a (K)T.

Her boss with the grey beard winds me up. He's always got that stupid look of dispare . Also is there only one hospital in Belfast ? How does the accused and the victim end up in adjacent rooms with absolutely no security and then they give him a nurse who looks just like his victims . It's laughable
This last series of The Fall was mind numbingly boring and so is Gillian Anderson with her botox stuffed expression less face. The most wooden actor since Ken Barlow/William Roache.
Just started Black Mirror. I thought the first episode of series 3 was rubbish but the second was much more enjoyable so hopefully it keeps getting better.
The Young Pope. Watched the first episode. Two hours. Way too long. Lavish production but Jude Law's Pope comes across as an utter Chunt. I guess that's the point. Will give it episode 2 but not hopeful.

I saw some clips of this on Gogglebox. Looks very weird
I'be watched a few episodes of Designated Survivor with Keifer Sutherland. It's a kind of mix of 24 and The West Wing. If you liked those two shows you will probably like it.

Halfway through series 3 at moment.

Just finished it last night and really enjoyed it.

Really enjoying The Missing
Charlie Brooker, creative genius.
(The last episode was good).

Visually stunning.
Attenborough is a genius in engaging the audience.
What an amazing place
