Edinburgh looks great in it and it's got a cracking soundtrack which helped.
An easy watch, 7/10.
Just noticed Star Trek: The Next Generation is on Netflix. Obviously not new telly but a classic all the same.

Watched that with the mrs and enjoyed it far more than I’d like to admit, soundtrack is brilliant as you saidQuote:

Oh I much preferred Season 2 to be honest! Think Bren really added heft in more ways than one and Frank is much more believable.Quote:

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair is very good, a superb performance from Patrick Dempsey.Quote:

I would tend to agree with this, extremely unlikeable character but, the guy plays the part well.Quote:

Agree totally just started This is us is exactly how you describe. Excellent show characters and storylinesQuote:

Looks like a few have been watching Kin recently and both seasons have been on a par for me, really like the Bren character and hopefully we get some more seasons.
Now started The Bear on Disney channel about a failing restaurant in Chicago, if that depicts true form to how kitchens are I would be sacked within days.
The Bear is brilliant. There’s 2 episodes in season 2 which are amazing (fishes and Forks).Quote:

Enjoying Ken Loaches The Old Oak on Netflix about Syrian refugees moving into a Newcastle mining town and ex miners shunning them other than the pub landlord who goes out of his way to help them
The Push on Channel 4 was pretty harrowing viewing. Seemed a real culture clash between people who were very modern in their outlook and people who wanted things very traditional.
As horrible as the subject matter is, it's fascinating watching how methodical the legal professionals are during cases of this nature.
Watched it last night, that must have been not only quite harrowing for the jury but difficult to come to their guilty verdict. I cant imagine how things could have turned out if the accused’s ex Wife had not journaled his behaviour throughout their marriage and lived long enough to provide a statement to Police before she sadly passedQuote:

He was a cocky ******* though wasnt he, as was his big pal outside the court too
It was his dad that got me.Quote:

Her mum is such a brave woman.
Yeah his Dad was a bit of an arrogant tosser too, Im actually surprised or unless I missed it but the accused used his Wifes phone thinking it was his own (although he denied having his phone) and phoned his Dad, Im sure they said they didnt have the recording. There was no mention of his Dad being questioned in relation to the callQuote:

Very interesting watch, not to mention harrowing. Thing that struck me was seeing how emotional the judge got at the end when thanking the jury.
I was surprised that we got to see so much of the proceedings, but it made for terrific viewings.
Never heard of it before , will give it a go . Thanks 👍Quote:

It's a 6 season drama about the rise of Crack Cocaine drug dealers in South Central LA in the 1980s and how the CIA helped facilitate that to fund war in Nicaragua. Great characters and storyline, Excellent reviews but seems to be under the radar a bit in terms of profile.
I'm on series 5, and will be gutted when I finish it.
The main man that plays Franklin is actually English, he is brilliant in that role.Quote:

Really like Exterior Night, an Italian thing on Walter Presents.
It's about the kidnapping of Aldo Moro, the former Italian PM, in the 70's.
Almost everything I've watched on Walter Presents has been well worth a watch.Quote:

You've got to wonder who is in charge of commissioning Channel 5 dramas, Love Rat hot on the heels of Finders Keepers, both absolutely terrible.
Coma looks like it could be better next week but, I'm not holding my breath.
Catch me a killer on Alibi looking good after a couple of episodes.
Good shout this one.[emoji3516]Quote:

Fisk on itvX. Really enjoying this as my light comedy half hour before bed, especially after watching some dark Scandi drama.
Watched American Nightmare last night, 3 part documentary from Netflix about a serial kidnapper/rapist. The woman and her boyfriend get blamed for a hoax only for another cop on another case to crack it. American police and justice system is corrupt to the core.
Slow Horses. Gary Oldman is utterly brilliant and hilarious as the boss of a dysfunctional MI5 team
Great watch so far
Shogun on Disney plus. A right ripsnorter of an historical epic.
It really is excellent stuffQuote:

Girl in the Basement on My5, a film based on a true story, not a pleasant watch. Fine performance from Judd Nelson though.
I've enjoyed twisted metal. Simple, enjoyable watch
Not bad soundtrack as well
Just binged all of Modern Family, one of my all time favourite TV series. It tails off a little in the last couple of seasons but the early stuff is just fantastic.
I've just started the 3rd series, a vastly underrated programme, I hardly know anyone who has watched it.Quote:

Black bird was fantastic, Paul Walter Houser was really good in this, first role I’ve saw him play where he wasn’t some comedy after thought type and he played his part very well.Quote:

Watched the first couple of episodes of Passenger, not sure what to make of it at all.
Only seen the first one so far, will keep going for now.Quote:

I generally think Matt Berry is more miss than hit, but tried the first episode and didn’t quite make it to the end thinking it was poor. I did however see a compilation of “Hi Steven, it’s Clem Fandango. Can you hear me”. Running jokes like that are very much up my street. Will give it a few more episodes to see if it lands, or if I still don’t like it.Quote:

I really want to see that but Disney just feels like a subscription too far - have Netflix, Prime, Sky, TNT, Viaplay, Apple TV already…Quote:
