Just finished the second series of the Norwegian political drama Mammon, which is available on All 4. Really excellent 8 parter, although the plot is relatively complicated.
Also on there is an excellent French police series about serial killers called Dead Beautiful starring the deputy cop in the magnificent Spiral.
I did don’t realise season 2 had started......need to catch up.
Is this a repeat of the series shown last year / earlier this year - it was about the policewomen coming back to where her child disappeared years before & investigating about the disappearance of another girl. As its on ITV encore I'm expecting it to be a repeat & not a new series.
The Deuce is quality.......but I am really struggling to understand a lot of the dialogue. Amazing how they captured so accurately 1970s New York street life. A lot seems to be shot on location with whole streets taken over with 1970s Cadillacs and other cars from that period.
Just watched the first episode of season 2 of stranger things. Glad it's back!
We've just watched the final 3 episodes & in fact all of them over 3 nights.
Absolutely my kind of thing ....well, stranger thing.
Loved the actors & the darkness but also the humour that surfaced at times.
Lots of parallels with "It" - both story lines using young teens battling against the forces of evil with both sets of characters well drawn & captivating in their own way.
Rumours of a 3rd series which I look forward to eagerly but with the hope that it doesn't disappoint.

I love stranger things but when does something cross the line from paying tribute to other things and just become a rip off? The trick or treat thing was very E.T and the party was very similar to the one in 13 reasons why.
Surprised they've put it on BBC4 I know that's where it started but they recently repeated Series 1 and 2 on BBC2 and got decent viewing figures. Thought they'd put it there.
Fantastic series though. One of my favourites the last few years without a doubt. And I'd never have known about it without this thread.

Totally agree, Steve. One of Mr F's favourites.
Currently watching the first 3 episodes of Mindhunter on Netflix....certainly different !
For those who like quirky comedy the new series of The Detectorists is on BBC 4 next Wednesday at 10pm.
Reminder for Detectorists fans Tonight at 10
From the clip I saw the other day it resembled a grown up version of The Inbetweeners & more suited to the 14-21 age group than a 50-something has-been like me.
