Just started watching 'Forged in Fire' on History Channel .. a US competition revolving round making and testing medieval weapons using old forge/blacksmith techniques .. interesting
I hope it's more interesting than it sounds !
I actually quite like the programme especially when they are testing the weapons.

I've seen a couple of these. It is good, all be it Americans are a little different to us. I have a friend who has two daughters (6 and 8) and the three of them sit and watch it all day on a Sunday.
Don't know if anyone on here has seen it but started watching bloodline the other day on Netflix, I have been enjoying it but 4 episodes in and I still don't feel like I have a clue what's going on, guessing that's intentional?
I catch and episode of Shed and Buried when I can. It's repeated ad infinitum on freesat - Travel Channel, I think - so not hard to find another one to watch. You could argue it's basically the same every week, and Henry Cole's delivery is annoying, but some of the bikes they turn up are wonders to behold and the mechanic, Sam, seems to be a bit of a genius with a spanner. I particularly liked the time he made a tyre for a penny-farthing front wheel.

Takes a bloody age to get going. Wasn't bad. However,I didn't bother with the second series.
Anyone else watch The Trial tonight on 4? First episode today and on every day now up to Thursday.
Interesting programme, clever idea. Real judges, random people in jury but the actual case is fiction.
Loads of people talking about it on twitter, the majority simply asking "is this real" over and over. To be honest it is set up like a documentary but it also explained the concept at the start.
Enjoying it. Though a couple of jury members are irritating and the defence barrister also comes across a bit knobish.
Not a new series, but just seen First Dates on C4 - cant believe that Sara Rowbotham, the whistleblower from the Rochdale "3 Girls" case was on it. Also didn't realise (not that it matters) that she was gay - and that Maxine Peake did her a favour !!

Finished Spin, the French political thriller, on More4. I highly recommend it to anyone who relishes that kind of theme. Among other things it teaches you how the French presidential system works
Started watching the OJ doc, thanks to the recco above. It is interesting, although overlong IMO (5 x90 mins). Sometimes you wonder "why did they include that bit?".
Need a decent new Euro-drama. Preferably not on All 4 catch up though, buffering and long ad breaks drive me nuts. Any ideas?
I thought he was not guilty. I thought the boyfriend's alibi was hard to believe. He said he missed the bus, was late, so decided to walk there, which took an hour. Why would you walk for an hour if you were already late and put your phone on flight mode ?
I've just caught up in the second season of Stan Lee's Lucky Man.
It's not terribly intellectual but it is well written and it is the kind of show that you can watch back to back from start to finish without and repetition.
If you haven't watched any of them I'd give it an look.
Designated Survivor Netflix series - I haven't been hooked on a show since breaking bad. Starts fast and doesn't ease up. The worst episode was the finale in my opinion.
I'm also re-watching the peep show. Absolutely hilarious!
Better call Saul series 3 - a bit slow but it's just starting to kick off

Apart from the disturbing, sad and very important isssues, as a piece of Television it was excellent.
The acting, direction and writing were amazing.
Didn't really know what it was about when I started watching it, but remembered the case when I did.
At first when I saw the cast come up on the opening credits I thought, here we go, what's this going to be like.
In the last episode I had a few tears down my face on a couple of occasions.
I thought it was a fitting dedication to what happened to these girls and hopefully helps to prevent these things happening again.
Fascinating viewing and well worth watching .
It's available on catchup on All 4

I'm a big fan of the Marvel/superhero genre so maybe it's just more my bag.
