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
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 watched it too. Thought it was ok but definitely felt a bit short changed at the end, think it had the potential to be better overall.

It was good, but the book was a lot better. It felt rushed especially in the final episode.

Yep. Agree with what you say. Watched the first 2 back to back and was really look forward the the final part. Really dissapointed with the ending

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.

Have you seen series 1?
Yeah, brilliant. People don't really go around watching a series 2 before they've seen the first do they? Crazy.
I love both seasons of Fargo, but there was a moment in episode 9 of season 2 which tested my loyalty to the limit. Won't give away a spoiller but it really pissed me off (much more than a TV show should)

Presuming it is that, yep it’s outside the norm and I’m not 100% for it, but it did sort of work and it wasn’t a total surprise. I liked the line on the balcony which followed it.
I think it has surpassed season 1 for me now, but I understand why people may not appreciate the above moment. Apparently season 3 will take place after season 1, so some characters may come back.
Just seen that there are new episodes of Julia Davies' Hunderby starting on Sky Atlantic at 10pm tonight. First series was bonkers so hoping for good things again.
I watched the whole series of London Spy and in the end wished I hadn't bothered. Beautifully produced as always from the Beeb, but self indulgent bollocks as far as content goes. I never even got to understand what Alex had done, and on whose behalf, that caused the Establishment to bump him off in such an elaborate way. Those who produced the peerless BBC adaptations of the Le Carre novels must be turning in their graves.

Errr, spoiler alert.
Oh sorry. Never occurred to me that anyone was still planning to watch it. But the bumping off happened in the first episode. The series is all about why. Or at least, it was supposed to be.
I nervously ventured over to the Guardian comment section below the review and was mightily relieved to find it wasn't just me. Loads of people slaughtering it.

In that case I might give it a miss. Struggling to find time to keep up with The Bridge as it is and I'm weeks behind on The Last Kingdom, not to mention about 30 other shows I've been meaning to watch!
Speaking of the Bridge, how are people finding it? I'm very much enjoying it, but definitely feel like its standards have dipped a bit from Series 2 (which was sensational tbf). I'm struggling a bit with the meddling in Saga's private life that is going on, but outside of that it is very good. Although her new sidekick's beard is ridiculous.

Well, I must say that I am loving the Bridge as much as ever, but maybe it has got to the point where it can just do no wrong in my eyes. Saga's private life is unsettling to watch because she is an unsettling personality.My wife can't watch her. It seems to me that all the Danish series fearlessly take on issues and emotions that we Brits might not wish to confront in our mainstream TV drama. I'm finding it difficult to keep up with all the different characters but trust the Bridge to bring them all together in the end (unlike the execrable tosh we've been discussing above). I really think the actress who plays Saga is delivering one of the greatest sustained small screen performances I've ever seen, and we are probably not enjoying it fully because I bet the way she delivers her lines in Swedish is part of the enjoyment of an extraordinary portrayal. Somewhere there's a video of Sophia Helin talking about how she delivers all this, but I lost the link. I'll be bereft when it ends.

Watched this and felt more than a bit underwhelmed at the end. One thing I did notice was global warming must have advanced as it was mid summer during Christmas.
Not series but two excellent documentaries on the BBC iPlayer are the build up to Tim Peake's launch into space and also Professor Green's struggle with his fathers suicide.
The last is not an easy watch but it's definitely worth a watch. Know who he is, never knowingly heard one of his songs but have huge respect for the man for raising awareness of suicide.
The scariest fact of all comes quite early in the programme. Suicide is the biggest cause of death in all males under the age of 45 in the UK.
Finally started the latest series of Peep Show last night. Only one episode in and thought it was a little but slow getting going but after about 10 mins it hit its stride and was as good as it's always been. A strong contender for my favourite ever comedy show.
In the end I’d give Fargo Season 2 a 9/10. It was excellent and I’ll definitely re-watch it but the ending wasn’t quite good enough to be amongst the best seasons of TV I’ve seen (cough, Wire).
I watched the new Luther last night. It is fun and I like Idris Elba but all of the villains are REALLY cartoony and the whole ‘edgy cop who flouts the rules but gets results’ thing has been done before.

Thought it was finished brilliantly

I'm also watching series 2 of Borgen, a Danish drama set in/around Parliament. Good programme.
