    Yeah - enjoyed it.

    I wasn't sure which one would turn out to be the psycho bitch until the last few mins.

    Was watching it thinking "this is good but it needs to speed up a bit"
    I knew before hand it was a 3 parter and not 6 or 8 so I expected it to get going sooner.

    However the ending was completely unexpected and now I can't wait for next week.

    Just caught up last night with The Replacement, looks very promising. Agree @MrOneLung , Vicky McClure is great in everything see does, In The Line Of Duty, This Is England etc, probably one of the best female actors on British TV.

    Not sure if Broadchurch has been discussed, but I thought it was a decent first episode.

    Just finished the first 2 episodes of Leigon, wasn't sure what was going on in parts but it became clearer as it went on, enjoyed it and will stick with it.

    Really liking The Team too, I think there will be plenty of twists in it.

    In a bit of a rush last night looking for a new netflix for the train.
    They recommended a series called Cleverman so I downloaded a couple of eps. Looked like a humans vs mutants super hero marvel type thing.
    Failed to notice it was Australian. Everyone sounding like crocodile dundee and saying strewth cobber.
    underwhelmed

    Any one see Inside No9 ? It's a bit different, sort of like the old Tales of the Unexpected series from back in the 80's , can be a bit gory though.

    Really enjoying Legion. It's very different and nothing like your normal Marvel/DC show. Well acted and some great visuals

    Haven't got round to watching the new series yet but looking forward to it as I loved the previous episodes

    Just finished season 1 or Bloodline on Netflix, it took a while to get going but glad I stuck with it. Just started season 2.

    Also blizted season 1 of Sneaky Pete which is on Amazon, enjoyed that. Someone at work has been raving about Quarry, strong rating on IMDB. Trailer looks good.

    New Prime Suspect .. similar early years territory to that covered by Endeavour .. not usually my kind of thing but I thoroughly enjoyed this first episode

    Anyone seen "Love" on Netflix? Not as good as master of none but similar in tone... just on the west coast. Season 2 is dropping in a week

    can just imagine the first episodes of Taboo Series 2 ..
    the Royal Navy stop Delaney's vessel in the channel, capture all on board and a cover up ensures that they are all transported to the latest British colony, Van Diemens Land .. a k a Tasmania and Delaney ends up as king of the aborigines

    Finally watched the last two episodes of Taboo. Thought the first three or four were brilliant but I've gradually lost interest. Stayed till the end though. Overall I enjoyed it but it was a bit of an anticlimax.

    Almost at the end of season 2 of Homeland and beginning to lose interest.

    The Israeli program Hatufim (Prisoners of War) was said to be the inspiration for homeland. It's very good if you can find it (and don't mind dealing with the subtitles).

    Last week was good, tonight was a masterpiece. Jagged edge type thriller.

    And followed by another gem from the genius of Pemberton/Sheersmith, one of the best night's tv in a long long time.

    Never ever fuck with the BBC.

    OJ Simpson: Made In America.
    Easily the best tv I've seen in years. It's on iplayer now. The first two parts are so skilfully put together. The last part is less effective but as a whole it's compelling. Well worth committing to the 9hours running time!

    Caught the first prime suspect 1973, very good, very much like life on mars.

    I thought episode 2 was unbelievably boring. Pretty much zilch happened until the last 10 mins.

    Yes, really good. Looking forward to the conclusion next week, certainly a brilliant series, if a little short.

    Yeah. I'm holding judgement on it. Has the potential to be a complete turkey.

    The fact it is only 3 episodes is a plus point for me.
    Enjoying it.

    Broadchurch falls into the trap of dragging a 5 episode storyline into 8 episodes.

    I know they like it to be a slow burner but TOO MANY EPISODES !!!

    Makes a nice change though.
    Usually a series over 6 or 8 episodes gets reviewed as "could have been a bit shorter".
    In this case there is less pointless filler and more actual drama rather than what we often get, a half decent 55 minutes with a thrilling last 5 to get you excited about next week.

    I know what you mean, you don't want it to drag on too long, but probably could be a 5 part series without too much effort, although we'll all see how it ends up.

    Has anyone been watching This is Us ?

    A US drama with some comedy in it - not sure what channel it is on but my mum recommended it and streamed first two episodes last night.
