Yes, really good. Looking forward to the conclusion next week, certainly a brilliant series, if a little short.
Makes a nice change though. Usually a series over 6 or 8 episodes gets reviewed as "could have been a bit shorter". In this case there is less pointless filler and more actual drama rather than what we often get, a half decent 55 minutes with a thrilling last 5 to get you excited about next week.

I know what you mean, you don't want it to drag on too long, but probably could be a 5 part series without too much effort, although we'll all see how it ends up.
The Replacement is great TV. I like the fact that's it's only a 3 part series. Too many of these TV Drama series are very good, but drag things out for too long. Broadchurch is a perfect example.

The worst example of dragging it out is Walking Dead. First few seasons were great. Now it's a bunch of pretentious acting scenes bolted together with some zombie killing. All you want from the current series is the fight with Negan's gang. But yet again they're draaaaaaagging it out with internal monologues and painfully long sequences between two characters.

And then they will have another mid-season/end of series break before it even happens...
Don't know about anyone else but I was pretty underwhelmed by the conclusion to the replacement last night. Predictable and far fetched, but maybe my expectations were unrealistically high after the first two episodes as they were very good.

we were saying the same at work earlier, really disappointing ending

Exactly what we said at work this morning. Maybe the first two were too good. Felt a bit like the writers weren't sure how to end it maybe? Still a very good series.

Just finished series 1 and 2 on Amazon Prime of The Bureau, about the French Secret Service DGCS arm. Strongly recommended for fans of French drama series.

Seconded, although I am only on e.3 of series 2, which, as I read, is considered one of the finest French TV dramas ever, and this is the country that gave us Spiral.
Must say though that I am struggling with the new series of Follow the Money. I think the first episode, bringing back the old characters, felt pretty contrived. Not sure it has justified its second series. But let's see.

Enjoying it.
I know they like it to be a slow burner but TOO MANY EPISODES !!!

A US drama with some comedy in it - not sure what channel it is on but my mum recommended it and streamed first two episodes last night.
Also enjoying Replacement.
No doubt will watch a few episodes a week.

Still a very good series.

Shame about the last 20 minutes but otherwise The Replacement was great .
SSGB is badly written, sadly not a patch on Man In The High Castle.
Bellamy's People, brilliant stuff.
Also 2nd series of the Last Kingdom starts tonight
