Watched all 6 Black Mirror episodes now. Had to stop at episode 3, too much Charlie Brooker is bad for your mental health :laughing:

Little bit disappointed with the first and last one. The finale seemed a bit too meta and playing to his online fans. Maybe the Netflix influence? Ep’s 2,3, 4 and 5 were just incredible. ā€œCrocodileā€ ep 3 just killed it. Andrea Riseborough is just great.

BBC’s McMafia shows promise. Main criticism is that being a mainstream terretrial channel, they always have to tone down the ā€˜gritty reality’ /realism to make its suitable for a brorder audience, so whilst acting and production is spot on, it lacks the real horror that the story and enviroment demands.

Interesting stuff though and will keep me watching

I’ve watched 4 episodes so far. The 4th one was my favourite! About the Dating. It was v.funny & interest. When that one guy is going down on that bird and he comes up and makes the AH drinking noise! That made me lol srs.

I didn’t like the one about the woman and the insurance memory woman though. Is that the crocodile one? I didn’t make it to the end of that one cos it was Annoying me the things that woman was doing I didn’t buy it.

Ok… honest truth: is ā€˜Dexter’ worth an 8 series binge?

Worth a watch until the woman (I think his sister) becomes a running addict. Soon as the bitch starts running, switch off.

While I enjoyably bumble my way through ā€œit actually isn’t shit Sherlockā€ (Elementary) and get to the delights of not on Netflix yet DVD’s we picked up on hols (The 100, Outlander) I see the Beeb have done a what to watch in 2018 article

Interesting that JJ Abrams is turning Stephen King into a ā€œMarvelverseā€ that could really get messy…

Obviously you already have some of these coming your way.

More importantly the resumption of Discovery happens tonight!

We haven’t managed to get past first episode. Please tell me it gets better?

Struggling with Little Women. Finding it a bit tedious. Have the Miniaturist downloaded for holiday travel.

I would say stick with it. Though it’s more a history of how profiling developed than a traditional detective whodunnit

Watched the first two, the human trafficking angle was really upsetting.

I have expressed my love of Elementary after hating the entire concept when I first heard of it.

I have subsequently struggled to define why and how I have learned to love it.

Mrs D_P nailed it tonight. Johnny Lee Miller is superb. He’ not Benedict but he is something else. He is ā€œa mad Dr Who or he is Houseā€

His journey and that of Watson (Lucy Liu) is a great story.

It’ NOT Conan Doyle but even with the limitations of a 45 minute show, the back story makes it superb TV LIGHTWEIGHT and DEEP at the same time.

Johnny Lee Miller has won awards for it. I see why.

Park the prejudice bus, dig into the darkness and become an addict

I’m enjoying Travelers (sic) on Netflix - first season was good and its improved in the second which I’m half way through.

Decent if slightly mad premise, slightly gritty sci-fi and mostly unknown actors usually go down well with me (only one I’d seen before is the main guy who was/is Will in Will & Grace) but this might be a bit too far fetched for some

is it a bit like ā€˜sliders’?

Just watched latest Star Trek - Me & Mrs C_S mightily impressed - bodes well for rest of season!

Nw catching up with latest Lucifer for light relief

Vikings later

Yeah there are quite a few similarities, but Travelers has less of the ā€œknock off Quantum Leapā€ aspect which bugged me with Sliders
