    Finished watching The Tunnel, Sabotage last night and loved all of it. (Love The Bridge too of course). Otherwise I don't get to watch much TV :-(

    Love The Tunnel. Elise is a brilliant character, some very funny lines as well.
    So does the Tunnel 2 try to borrow the plot line of The Bridge 2 (as was the case with the Tunnel 1/Bridge 1, or does it have an original plot line this time? Question for anybody who has seen both, as I wasn't mad on the Tunnel 1.
    I've not seen The Bridge, Prague.

    Without giving away any spoilers, as the trailers already did that, Tunnel 2 involves a plane crashing into The Channel. Is that similar?

    That's that sorted then, thanks, I will give it a go.

    Forgive my laziness, but it's Sky, right? Can I watch it on a web catch-up without a paid Sky sub? Or will I have to look, er, elsewhere?

    Thank god season 2 of better call Saul has finished. What absolute pile of shite. I kept willing something of substance to happen, but it never did.

    Absolute crap.

    I'd be surprised if they were going to go ahead with a season 3 . It really was dull.
    I thought it was absolutely brilliant. Great acting, great script, great soundtrack and in no rush to push the plot so the characters are given space.

    Been disappointed with Undercover in fact I fell asleep watching it last night. I understand that to get a good drama you have to often suspend credibility but this stretches it too far, also with all the flashbacks I am struggling to know what is going on it is too messy. Shame as it's a good cast but the premis is a mess.

    On the other hand have been enjoying The A word Christopher Ecclestone is great as the foot in mouth dad.

    All this......Hope they continue with the A Word characters and do another series as they have enough about them to make a lot of interesting stories.

    Excellent start to The Five on Sky 1 last Friday. Very promising with a good cast.

    Yeah, the space is starting to pay off like few other shows. I can't think of many characters I have grown to hate as much as Chuck. Loving how they are slowly building the betrayal to come. Brilliant motivation for Jimmy, who to now had always done the wrong thing for the right reasons, to completely lose his moral compass by Breaking Bad.

    I can understand how some people find it too slow. Most of the finale was just two people sitting in a room talking, but it paid off beautifully imo.

    Yes, it's the same character arc as Walter in BB, but rather than a specific event triggering the moral decline, it's a mixture of Jimmy's inherent shyster talent and his very complex and interesting relationship with Chuck.

    Johnny Cochran, Marsha & her junior council (can't remember his name) were portayed brilliantly. Travolta and Cuba Gooding Junior were odd.

    I read somewhere that John Travolta played him that way because that is the way he is & was confirmed by a number of observers who were there at the time.

    Cuba Gooding just wasn't the right man to play OJ - OJ was a taller & leaner - more like Denzil Washingtom

    Watched the new C4 comedy "Flowers" last night. Great start. Completely nuts. The whole series is on in one week.

    Know it finished weeks ago but thought the Night Manager was very average. Pretty to look at and Tom Hollander was great but found myself a bit underwhelmed by it all

    Just watched episode three of 11.22.63 and this episode was a real disappointment - seemed to fall into cliches (and they skipped two years through a 30 second musical interlude).

    I'm enjoying it but that skipping of two years did feel very lazy.

    Think it is a classic example of trying to get a book of hundreds of pages into an 8 part series. In the book he arrives in 1958 so by starting in 1960 they have squashed it in even more.

    Really enjoyed Better Call Saul but seems opinions are divided here. Also started watching Narcos on Netflix and well worth a watch.

    Just started watching the comedy Camping on Sky Atlantic.

    Some genuine laugh out loud moments and cringey at the same time.

    Narcos is brilliant. Looking forward to the 2nd series

    Have watched all 12 episodes of the first season of Billions over the last couple of days. Really enjoyed it. They have already agreed to make season 2.

    Anyone watch Marcella to the end? I have rarely seen a drama with so many loose ends. What happened to the taxi driver who broke into her house? The couple who had the Polish lodger who hung himself? Why did she put a bag over the killers head? The bit at the begining where she was in the bath covered in blood and mud what happened there? Didn't get it at all and just found the ending frustrating.

    Presumably nothing happened to the taxi driver as Marcella didn't say anything.

    The husband of the couple, will presumably be investigated in due course for murder.

    She put a bag over the killer's head, because that's what he did to his victims.

    She moved Grace's body from the flat & buried her in the woods, during one of her "episodes/blackouts".

    That's why she was covered in blood. Presumably she went to Grace's suspecting an affair and found her dead.

    There will almost certainly be a second series.
