Has anyone persevered with Taboo, I lasted about 20 minutes and it was a tad odd and I couldn't get into it, worth sticking with?
About to watch it on the train on iPlayer. Will report my findings.
Thanks to my train crawling along I've managed to watch the entire first episode and I'm only at London Bridge. Thought it was absolutely excellent. It has the potential to get really weird but it's extremely well done and Hardy, Pryce et al are terrific. Looking forward to part two.
Enjoyed the first episode of Sherlock last week but thought last nights was pants. Lost the plot after about 20 minutes and interest not long after that.
never got the adoration for this overrated (imo) series .. gave the latest one a look see .. gave up after 10 minutes ... looks like it was made by bored people on speed (or coke) who are fed up with the whole project

by a similar team that made Peaky Blinders with the added impetus of Ridley Scott .. one day they'll make a series that is not set totally in the dark .. not impressed with this .. just as with Peaky Bleeders it looks to me like a melodrama that'll be stretched to breaking point .. Tom Hardy does his usual mad but sane hardman act .. waste of a good talent ?

this week's episode was brilliant, explained a lot about why the most recent episode was seemingly so rubbish and fractured - it was dropping hints for the most recent episode
I think its very rare to be hooked from the first minute with a show, and i don't think you should ever judge a show like that, the best shows (sopranos, the wire, mad men, boardwalk empire etc) are growers
Quite enjoying The Halcyon. Not my normal thing but it's something that me and Mrs SB can watch together. Steven macintosh is his usual excellent self. A bit cliched in parts but an easy watch.
Been watching "The OA" on Kodi and we had episode six on last night. Anyway it finished after only half an hour instead of the usual around an hour. The Mrs thought it was because it was a "moody version" and we'd missed something.
Turns out that the makers had decided that as it was based on a book that the epsiodes would reflect the length of the chapters so they're all different lengths.
Guerilla starts tonight on Sky Atlantic , that looks decent.
Struggle at times to follow but love No Offence. Viv is a masterpiece of acting as is the forensic guy.
We record it. Either it's because we're getting old or because the dialogue is spoken quickly and with a northern accent, but we have go back over bits now and again to work out what was being said. However, it's a must-watch in the AA household.

Confused me too, I had to google it before we went on to the next episode!

aha, that explains a lot. still a lot about that programme that isn't explained though
Seems the fourth and final series of the The Bridge won't be ready until next year. The next Spiral may be sooner, but as yet no air date even in France. Not sure how I am going to get through the winter, but am having another look at the Walter Presents package.

I recommend, Framed, Magnifica 70, Locked Up, Tony's Revenge and Cenk Batu. If you like French comedy, the second series of Kabul Kitchen is very good.
Just watched the second episode of Sherlock and thought it was woeful, as was the first. I enjoyed the first couple of series but they've lost their way.

It feels like Dr Who to me and is far too quirky for it's own good.
