    Don't know about anyone else but I was pretty underwhelmed by the conclusion to the replacement last night. Predictable and far fetched, but maybe my expectations were unrealistically high after the first two episodes as they were very good.

    Watched the final episode last night & felt exactly the same. Great series but a very weak ending

    Was one of many that said before how only 3 episodes was a good idea and better than drag it out over 6 or 8 weeks, however the last episode, specifically the last 15 minutes felt very rushed

    PWR... Second Series of Bernard Cornwell's "The Last Kingdom" is on BBC 2 tonight @ 9pm.

    Also being shown with Netflix this year.

    Loved the first season of Billions but the second is so dull . I hope it picks up or I'm ditching it.

    New series of The Get Down starts next month I believe.......

    Cheers, didn't know that. Not sure how the last series went down (ha) with everyone else but I enjoyed it. Not sure it's a lot of people's cup of tea but I love disco and hip-hop.

    Really disappointind with season 2 - 4 episodes of tedium. The only thing keeping me interested is The Doris who plays Wendy.

    Prime Suspect 1973 is very well done but seems a bit of a non-event after they did it with Morse first in Endeavour.

    It has been so unbeliveably boring.

    Just watching the first 3 series of Line Of Duty before number 4 comes out. Missed these first time round. Absolutely excellent despite Martin Compston's desperately corny English accent.

    I've fallen asleep before the end of every ep of billions so far this series.

    Replacement ending was disappointing. How did she go from nearly dying to hot wiring a car?! It was all a bit quick but then spent 10 mins filming the women staring at each other across the office.

    Big little lies - watched ep 1. Hate them all but intrigued to know what's going on. Need to know the crime early on in ep 2!

    Kettering incident watched ep 1 - blimey she's stunning- intrigued to watch more.

    Broadchurch still holding interest so far. Again, they're all dodgy suspects. Still don't like the vicar from last 2 series!

    Just finished the O J Simpson doc on iPlayer, very long but very good, was baffled that some people still defended him when it's obvious that he did it.

    Gitvthrough the first three series of Line Of Duty. Brilliant stuff. Third series not quite up to the first two IMHO. Trying Safe House on Netflix with Christopher ecclestone. Finding the first episode hard going.

    Having finally bought into Netflix and just finished watching the final episode of Series 1 of Stranger Things, I concur that it was indeed my kinda thing , with knobs on.

    Reminded me in places of ET, IT, X Files and other similar films but although somewhat confusing at times , especially at the end, I thoroughly enjoyed being glued to it over the past few days. Really looking forward to Series 2 which is airing some time later this year.

    I googled the actors & found that the lad who plays Mike , Finn Wolfhard, will play Richie Tozier in Stephen King's IT which is due for release in Sept 2017. This is one of my favourite SK books & I did watch the film made for TV several years ago which was pretty poor. So, am excited to hear that, as I assume it will be a much enhanced version later this year.

    Fanny's getting that old tingle again.....

    Really liking SS GB (watched 3 so far).

    Saw them filming it at the V and A storage building at Olympia ages ago, remember swastikas all over the place.

    Just watched the 1st five episodes of Iron Fist - quite enjoyed it, the fight scenes are not the best but its easy going TV

    It is easy going, but you are bang on the money, he is an awful fighter. Probably the worst Marvel TV series but essential if you are looking forward to the Defenders.

    New series of " Line of Duty " starts on Sunday, previous series have been excellent and stars the equally excellent Vicky McClure, what's not to like ?

    Finished second series of "love" on Netflix. That last episode had me stressing the fuck out for mickey.

    Great series though, realistically portrays a relationship

    Just started this, and watched S01:E03 last night. Not generally a fan of Judd Apatow's stuff but decided to give this a try as it has E out Eels in it who are one of my favourite bands. I don't think he shows up until episode 4 so I haven't seen him yet, but after a slow start the show is growing on me.

    A very different vibe to Love but Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is also pretty funny.

    Have finished Iron Fist. Not as good as Daredevil, Jessica Jones or Luke Cage, but if they can get the scripts right for The Defenders, he'll be a good character.

    Just caught up with Broadchurch. I'm liking this series. It's bubbling away nicely, with lots of possible suspects.

    I don't think it was Lenny Henry though, he would've taken her to a Premier Inn!

    Anyone been watching the tv series of Snatch?

    Didn't know a thing about it just happened to chance upon it tonight. I've watched one episode and not quite sure , will give episode 2 a go I think.

    Watched the first episode of Midnight Sun tonight, thought it was really good.
    The Danes/Swedes etc really do make some great TV

    It reminded me of when they did the lock stock tv series . That was pretty poor.

    It's on Sky Atlantic Thursday nights, (although I watched on kodi)

    Body is found in small Swedish mining town (with for me a new way of killing someone), turns out the body is French so the Swedes/French police departments team up to investigate.

    Its an 8 parter from the writers of The Bridge I believe so I'm expecting a few twists along the way

    Just completed The Swingers Dutch drama available on More 4. 10 parter of 45 minutes duration. Was very good with a strong story line. Two young couples, 2 stunning women who both get their kit off, a pervert with a telescope and a bent drugs cop. Whats not to like.
