Finished True Detective Season 3. A very satisfying piece of television. The thing I always forget about TD is that each season is only eight episodes long. The multi-decade timeshift worked beautifully, as did the denouement, leaving so much solved and so much up to interpretation at the same time. A masterwork.
Fleabag series 2 starts Monday. Hope its as goods the first

Think I mentioned the first series of Trapped. Itās set in Iceland. This one covers far right issues and too many murders for a small town. Loving the Icelandic jumpers.
Itās on BBC iplayer and I shouldnāt have started watching it at midnight.

Dag! Enjoyed the first series, but not had a chance to start on series 2 yet and needs concentrationā¦ with all the Nordic Noir I have watched since The Killing and The Bridge, I can pick up quite a bit of Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, but Icelandic and Finnish still unfathomableā¦

This is the only Nordic Noir Iāve watched. I may have to.try some more.
Dunno if anyone has mentioned Turn Up Charlie.
Netflix. Idris Elba.
Wonāt do a spoiler but itās watchable and made me do a few laugh out louds.
On episode 3 back to back so it canāt be bad.
Just watching the last ep of Trapped. I worked out the killer 2 episodes ago.
Has anyone else realised that Idris Elba is shit? He was ok in The wire but come on. Luther? Dogshit. Absolute derivative shite with awful acting.
But Iām enjoying Turn Up Charlie. Either Iām not the TV critic of your undoubted calibre or Iām enjoying shite TV.
Iāll give you the latter

Not sure if it goes here
Just finished watching The Dirt on Netflix
Mƶtley CrĆ¼e biopic a la the Queen one.
Quite enjoyable - lots of nudie stuff as to be expected. Learned a few things I didnāt know, lots of questions unanswered but a good easy watch.
With that, itās goodnight 
Iām surprised you have time to watch anything. Iāve seen your Twitter feed.
shudders

One great thing about Netflix is that it allows people to see shows we may not see (restrictions/rights/timing)
So having missed so many of his great works weāve just started Our Planet.
Donāt think our gobs have ever been so jointly smacked by such camera work.
Total HD Heaven
āI think you know how to love better than any of us, thatās why you find it all so painfulā
Fantastic line from a perfect piece of television
In Fleabags time slot is Back to Life about a woman released from prison and trying to get along.
I enjoyed it, not maybe as laugh out loud as other stuff but felt it was well acted.
Only issue I had was I donāt think she would have got 18 years and do a full sentence.
