Vienna Blood on the Iplayer . Really enjoyed it , maybe a wee bit cliched but very enjoyable , a wee bit disappointed that there will be no more episodes
At the same time as I've been watching this I've been listening to The Rest is History Podcast series about the murder of Franz Ferdinand , his wife and the subsequent events that lead to the breakout of WW1 .
It was strange to hear about real events ibeing mentioned in both fiction and factual programmes at the same time
Until I kill you, drama based on the true story of Delia Balmer's life with serial killer John Sweeney. I just watched it on the stick but, I think it's being shown on STV starting tomorrow night. Anna Maxwell Martin is very good in it.
Just finished the final season of Hightown, ridiculously over the top but, great entertainment.
Started the new season of FROM. Hoping it starts to give some answers and doesn’t go down the route of Lost which I gave up on.
Anyone watched Dark Winds? Watched the first episode and it was decent. A little bit bit of a True Detective vibe with hinting at a supernatural element.
Just watched the first episode of “ Fear the walking dead “ and enjoyed it .
Until I Kill You. Very good. Great performance from Anna Maxwell Martin.
Watching this as well enjoy this show need answers though like you saidQuote:

Sounds more like a mixture of Ludwig Motherland and Line of Duty with hints of Bristol and Ireland
I think she is an excellent actress btw
Not my usual thing but Colin Farrell in The Penguin :top marks
Must get some awards absolutely outstanding
The whole series is very good
Her accent sounded sort of Irish to me.Quote:

I gave up on it at the start as well I have since gone back and watched it all, I think From is heading in the same direction without giving anything away, probably best to be watched as a binge rather than week to week as you want answers rather than a drawn out process full of questions twists and turns at least when binging a full series your aware your going to get that the quicker you watch the showQuote:

New series of Shetland starts tonight on BBC1
Really enjoyed the last season with Ashley Jensen definitely a lot more action a vast improvement from the self absorbed boring long silences from Jimmy PerezQuote:

Scotland -The New Wild , on the Iplayer . Absolutely stunning stuff with some superb photography and camera work
Its a miracle theres anyone left on Shetland the pace of the murders that take place. They really should make folk write a will on arrival.Quote:

Not sure there are many teenagers that would go in a huff because one of their parents didn’t go to a parents evening at their school [emoji1787]
