Just turned into BBC1 to watch Cuffs. I must admit I was peeved to discover it was not indeed 'Are You Being Served?' set in Woolwich but a police drama!
I liked river, but not because of the whodunnit angle but the characters and their relationships. I like Eddie Marsden but in this he added nothing, and for me was jarring even though I know what they were trying to do.
Watched the first episode of The man in the high castle. An Amazon made series set in the U.S but if the Nazi's and Japanese had won the second world war. Very promising.
Hmmm. River was pretty good, but I had worked out whodunit very early on...
The problem with River was the Character was 10 years too old and surely he should have been on sick leave, or is it acceptable to dance in the middle of the road when your sober and punch walls and talk to yourself all day while your trying to crack a case.
The only likeable characters were the Jewish/Muslim detective and the Counsellor who could hold my hand and yet not judge me ?
Nicola Walker is a superb Actress, but Unforgotten was less pretentious and had a better story line.
At times i thought River was a Parody of a Dennis Potter Drama.
Enjoyed River because it was a bit different; Unforgotten even better. Pick of the bunch for me is the new series of Fargo. Rivetting and even better than the first series imo.
I've been enjoying The Coroner on iplayer. On BBC during the afternoon but quite good and an easy watching drama. Enjoying The Last Kingdom, which I didn't think I would, and London Spy is good drama too.

Never heard of Detectorists until I read it on here. Love it. Watched the lot over a couple of days . Looking forward to the christmas special in a couple of weeks
Excellent. Something to look forward to on television over Christmas. Hopefully will be on in time, so I can save it, just in case for after the Bristol City Boxing day Charlton away game.
Mr Robot was enjoyable, if ludicrous (I saw that someone in Anonymous praised it as 'the most accurate depiction of hackers ever'. I'm sure he fucking did - they were all edgy, bright young things operating out of a disused fairground employing zero-day exploits, as opposed to fat blokes who stink of piss wearing iron maiden t shirts sitting in the bedrooms of their mum's house using metasploit)
The Leftovers is definitely worth a look, although it is extremely depressing and can't decide whether it wants to be a mystery show or a show about people dealing with a mystery. The end of this season was great - built up really nicely.
Thanks Beds. Saw the original C4 trailer and thought it looked shit. Watched this one and thought I'll give it a go. Two episodes down of series one on All 4, that's my day sorted! Right up my street.
Anyone watch Capital? Found it extremely enjoyable and intriguing. However, as usual these days, the ending was disappointing. The bit about the £100k in cash was actually annoying.

I miss Martin but the new series has started promisingly.
If I ever get to visit Denmark/Sweden I will be very disappointed if it is sunny.

I havent watched last nights, but i thought the first 2 episodes were excellent.
I'm wrestling with the fact that everything Marvel make is utter dross and everything David Tennant stars in is good.
What's the outcome? So far its alright
Also enjoyed "Mr Robot", although I had no idea what was going on half the time.
