Trust, about the John Paul Getty III kidnapping, has been excellent.
Donald Sutherland does a very convincing JP Getty
Just finished season 2 of Snowfall, well worth a watch.
On the BBC again ?, 1st series wasn't bad.Quote:

Louis Theroux - Choosing Death.
A difficult watch and it throws up all kind of moral questions but it's a fascinating documentary and it's respectful and gentle given the subject matter. Theroux is still one of the best at what he does; of course there are better documentary makers out there but his empathetic style, his willingness to let others be in the spotlight and his ability to inject humour to often dark subjects make him very watchable.
Really enjoyed Informer but, the ending completely wrecked it, it's absolute nonsense! 😡
Other than Attenborough which is a given then Theroux has been my favourite documentarian since his original wild weekends. As you say his ability to bring humour to even the most serious of subjects is what makes it, he seems to have gone for more and more serious subjects over recent years but he still brings his sarcastic and light nature into itQuote:

I’m sure someone has probably posted this link before, but if not, I strongly suggest you check out some of the amazing content on Truly Scottish TV:
http://www.trulyscottishtv.com/
Navigation is a bit of a pain using the playlist button at the bottom right of each page, but the Scotland Outdoors (CH 4), Music (CH 6), and Cooking (CH 10) channels are awesome :-)
Finally watching Luther!
1 ep to go, continues to be excellent, I could listen to Florence Pugh talk forever! 😍Quote:

Very easy on the eyes as well. Took me a few episodes (without googling) to recognise that one of the actors was in True blood and another was in Boardwalk empire.Quote:

I have just started watching Get Shorty. Very entertaining.
Spotted True Detective on the Sky Box Sets, was great to rewatch. Highly recommend season 1.
I am enjoying the new series, where are you watching it, i have to fire up kodi to see it? :confused:Quote:

Just watched Blood as well
Decent drama, worth a watch
Just watched the last episode, another triumph for BBC Drama, excellent viewing. 👏Quote:

Darren Gibson gets filmed absolutely steaming doing a full regional accent which is quite entertaining.
The cars that players are cutting about in are ridiculous. If there were ever a way to display how ridiculous English football money is it's that.
Condor, The Sinner, Acceptable Risk, Berlin Station & Shades of Guilt all very good.
Watched the first season of the Sinner, really good watchQuote:

Just added today, is a recording of his one man show in New York, great stuff.
I'm REALLY late to this party, but I've just started The Man In the High Castle (read the book years ago), and it's superb.
Dark, uncomfortable and aesthetically remarkable, I'm hooked!

It's actually more of an an extended short story, hence the intrigue.Quote:

I've been listening to his stuff for 30 years, got everything he's ever recorded. I absolutely love his music but few of my mates do, there's this perception of him as lacking subtlety and intelligence, maybe because of a misinterpretation of Born in the USA. If you're in this boat I guarantee you'll change your kind after this film. It's all country acoustic interspersed with everyday life anecdotes that would bring a tear to a stone.Quote:

She wanted to watch Torville and Dean last night so I thought I would sit with her since it’s Christmas. Have to say I enjoyed and it’s really well done, especially their portrayal of Cristopher Dean.
Maybe it’s because their Olympic gold was one of those sporting memories from my childhood. I recall it was a huge deal back then and is now considered an iconic moment. That song, their outfits, the ending...I think it will always be remembered for decades to come.
Bandersnatch, Charlie Brookers latest Black Mirror is an outstanding bit of TV and total game changer imo
My son messaged me earlier and said he wasnt coping with it because he couldnt choose a cereal. :rolleyes:Quote:

I got the Games of Thrones boxset for christmas. Looking forward to getting stuck into it.
Just watched escape at dannemora and sharp objects over the Christmas and New year, both well acted and great storylines, definitely worth a watch
New Luther series
Specifically Ruth Wilson.Quote:

I’ve come late to this. I’ve only seen half a series before but I’m enjoying (on second thoughts not sure if that’s the right word) this series.Quote:

Hilarious but kinda touching also.
Brilliant - we now know who Ricky Gervais based David Brent on.Quote:

I've now watched ep2, Lilly Collins is magnificent. Just found out she is Phil Collins daughter.
Loved the interactive aspect. Certainly something I'd like to see more of. Watching this got me into the Black Mirror series which I hadn't noticed before. Now on series 3. Brilliant.Quote:

Just finished watching Manhunt on STV. Thought it was really well done, really fascinating how they managed to tie all the cases together in the end.
Few episodes into Shooter enjoyable so far.
I got through S1 of Shooter quite quickly. Struggled to keep that going though and never really bothered with S2 in the end.Quote:

On the subject of Best TV, the first episode of the Sopranos was aired 20 years ago this week.
20 years.
Just sat and watched the 3 episodes of Manhunt. Just like Little Boy Blue (about the Rhys Jones murder) it was very good and interesting to see how he was caught. Must be incredibly frustrating when you know someone committed the crime but can't prove it, and clearly take it's toll on your family life.
Just watched the 3 episodes in a wunner.. thoroughly enjoyed it ! Like you say it's incredibly frustrating knowing they have their man but can't convict him as easy as it looks ! Martin clunes was excellentQuote:

And 12 years since it finished. I was shocked to read the last episode aired in 2007.Quote:

Not sure if previously mentioned but watching Tin Star, it's dark but very good. On more 4, new series on Sky Atlantic so I will need to wait to watch it.
Just watched tonight's episode, final half, even too much for me. Weirdo's. 😯Quote:

It seems pretty funny, easy to watch tv. Bit similar in style to Chuck, in that it combines geeky characters with top level governmental ones.
In the state's "roasts" are really popular.Quote:
