Modus finished last night. Thought it a decent thriller, not much more. Next week in that slot, a new Danish drama, including at least one actor who appeared in Modus.
And more importantly, no sign, no word of "the Bridge". I cannot understand what the BBC are playing at. If by some piece of luck an illegal stream appears with English subs, I think as many people as possible should download it and shake them out of their island complacency.
Meantime here is a nice little video clip where they discuss Saga's Porsche.
Seeing as our game was postponed I had a blank Saturday so managed to finish of the last 2 episodes of Spiral that I had recorded as well as recorded episodes 5 & 6 of Modus just in time to watch the final 2 last night (so around 5 hours of silence at home as most is subtitles). I admit I missed around 10 mins of Modus so was a bit confused at the end what the motive was, therefore...........spoiler alert.........
why was the arab bloke involved - was it to do with his brothers death (and was it The President he dated & if so why was it never mentioned before) or to do with the fact his security company was being binned ??

Yes, pretty confusing, wasn't it. I am not sure if he dated her but he had contributed to and supported her campaign. Probably better not to say more for spoiler reasons, not that i am 100% sure anyway of his role. There might be some blog on it somewhere which might tell us, I will post it up if I find one.
Enjoying the little nods to other programmes in "Endeavour". In last week's the aristocrat was Lady Creighton-Ward, and in the previous week's they visited Crossroads Motel in Kings Oak. Also enjoying the "left wing" storylines that would have certain people frothing like billy-o had it been aired on a certain other TV channel...
especially when one of the characters mentioned was Amy Turtle !!

Found Save Me a frustrating ending but very well done and realistic. Guessing it will lead to a second series, there were a lot of open ends.
The pool hall scene was so unbelievably tense, and the bit with the truck made me jump! Good programme - Lennie James is a fantastic actor, as it Stephen Graham.

Did anyone on here watch Westworld when it was out? I thought it was brilliant, second season has been announced for late April (22nd?). Counting down the days.

Oh nice one didn’t know that, will get that series linked
The giant big black cat in Catford featured in Strike last night. Never quite worked out why!
You're lucky if that was the only thing you couldn't work out in Strike. I had no clue what was going on with the whole show!
Not the whole show but the ending really. I thought I must have missed something in the first episode or I had forgotten something as I couldn't work out who the bloke was who did it. I know there was 3 "perps" they were chasing up, but lost the plot with the 3rd one. I would have been best to simply have it as a 2 hour mystery/thriller like Mores, Lewis, Vera, Endevour etc.

The book goes into quite a lot of depth on the 3, I did wonder how it would translate in only 2 hours. Haven't seen the second episode yet so will have to see!

I did wonder if missing the previous series wasn't helping me. A bit like Line of Duty, which I only got in to after the latest series and had to go back and watch the old ones to figure out the long story behind it all.

Think each series is quite standalone, apart from the recurring policemen etc. I suspect it's just a lot to fit into 2 episodes.
In the book there are intermission chapters from the point of view of the killer which also gives extra clues and helps the big reveal at the end make sense.

That's a relief, I'm not losing my marbles after all. I usually end up having to explain what is going on to my mum with these sorts of shows, but I needed somebody to explain it all to me first!
Enjoyed strike. Wasn’t entirely clear what was going on half of the time but was fairly compelled by the will they won’t they relationship between the two main characters. I really thought he’d get his leg over (I can only apologise) but it wasn’t to be.
Black Mirror renewed for a 5th season. Great news but really surprising, Black Museum felt like an ending to the series
I'm glad its renewed, one of my favourite shows, was slightly disappointed by S4 though. Curious to hear why you thought that felt like the end of the show though?
I think they were pushing it trying to get the 3rd book into just 2 episodes.
Agreed, caught up last night and despite it being my favourite book of the three, I think it was the worst of the three on the TV. A also because the twist is telegraphed a mile off on TV whereas it's not at all in the book given the lack of visuals....

why was the arab bloke involved - was it to do with his brothers death (and was it The President he dated & if so why was it never mentioned before) or to do with the fact his security company was being binned ??
Still been really good so far - I've seen 3 episodes.
Hearing what this Jack Jones bloke done, Jesus Christ. Tough to watch.
...and I'm an emotional wreck !
'Nuff said if you haven't seen either or both.
