Anyone started Altered Carbon? Trailers looked amazing but it’s had some average reviews
Nine episodes in, really enjoyed it. I think it has successfully captured the cyberpunk look in places but looked cheap at times, surprising considering the money Netflix have put in to it. I have enjoyed the story and concepts but it is very poorly cast, Joel Kinnaman is a charisma sink and the two other actors playing the lead character are far superior. I am going to go buy the book off the back of this series.
I've just binged the first two series of 'Into the Badlands'. It's a flawed show but it's quite fun. Whoever decided to sign up Nick Frost as a Kung Fu master deserves kudos for the most left field casting of the year.
Anyone on here seen Love Sick? Only on Netflix, I think, but gets good reviews. They filmed some of it in our Glasgow flat but I've not managed to watch it.
I'm now 4 episodes into altered carbon. I'm still a little confused about what the hell is going on but I'm really enjoying it. his backpack is amazing
Watched all 10 episodes of Sky'sRiviera. God knows why I didn't bail out way before the end but what a load of old tosh.
Abysmal wasn’t it. I’d have rather watched 10 hours of the view of the Riviera than see her face and hear her saying ‘clios’ again. Didn’t like a single character in it. No idea why we stuck with it.

Have stuck Colateral on the old SkyQ planner. Heard the trailer on the radio tonight and sounds promising. Also the new ITV drama starring the excellent Adrian Lester starts on Monday too, series linked.

Lol . That’s a curse i seem to be stuck with . I hate ditching a series half way through in case I’m missing something but life’s too short sometimes.
McMafia went on too long. Next of Kin - am I the only one who thinks Jack Davenport looks and sounds like a young Steve Coogan ? Silent Witness is past its sell by date.

Starting to agree re silent witness. Plot lines are getting pretty tedious and wtf was that bit about last night where they were interwoven into the scene to show what happened in the crime?

All seemed a bit too much like Sherlock.
Totally agree, SA.
Like the series generally but last night's finale was crap.
Just started watching Inside no 9. Three episodes into the first series and I'm completely hooked. Very clever TV
a properly superb programme
it's rare that the BBC pull off comedy but this is right up there with the best
each episode is very different but all are great, I can't think of a weak one. the first episode of series 4 is, imo, one of the best episodes of any programme ever made
Making my way through the latest series of Black Mirror. Enjoyed USS Callister the most so far but just watched Crocodile.... it surely has to be the worst BM episode made? I know it's dark show and I like that but this was bleak beyond bleak, and that ending... I mean, it was just laughable.
I must admit that McMafia was waste of a huge budget, some great foreign actors and beautifully filmed locations.
On the other hand, I caught the first episode of Collateral on BBC2 tonight and thought it has a lot of promise. It's written by David Hare, so there is a bit of an agenda underneath the storyline which is fine by me but might grate with some.

The last two episodes were good but I think in reality it was a 4 episodes drawn out to 8 . Apparently a second season has s already been commissioned for 2019.
John Simm had two new series starting tonight at the same time on different channels.
Collateral on BBC2 and Trauma on ITV
Went with trauma. Decent enough so far
Not impressed to be honest.
Collateral ok, but Trauma a bit meh. I know that people react in different ways in times of grief, but don't believe anyone would act the way John Simm's character did.
Also, does John Simm have something written into his contract about having to have lesbian relationships in his programmes ??? Strange that both have this as a major part of the plot..........

Nevertheless it was London, which is good.
