Lucky Man on Sky. Two series in. Very good, especially the climax in series 1.

I'll give it a watch, Geoff-o. Nesbitt is always good value on screen....I've dropped off movies, TV and football this past few years due to a change in circumstance. Might be a combo of living in an odd time zone, being outside a lot and transitioning into middle age. Ive only just finished watching Narcos :rolleyes:

Funnily enough, the fact that James Nesbitt is in it is the very reason I haven't watched it.

It's subjective, Colin. I stressed 'on screen' ;)

he's very good in the first series of The Missing, though I found the second series to be even better.

I found it all a bit far-fetched. Watchable, but slightly too bonkers at the end. haha.

Absolutely. I don't like Billy bob Thornton, but despite that I thought Goliath was excellent and I'm enjoying Fargo.

The Walking Dead - I have some issues with this show but am still on-board.

Westworld - brilliant show - looking forward to the next season.

The Leftovers - Super heavy drama is not my thing but this show does it for me with a bit of mystery intertwined within the narrative and
just wonderfully bizarre at times. It's depressing but so well acted and filmed.

I'm positive the premise of the leftovers is the same as something I've seen before, but for the life of me I can't remember what it is.

A new series of Count Arthur Strong starts on Friday. Somehow the radio version is much better,

Absolutely, I only watched 1 episode and found it appalling.

I watched OJ: made in America last night on BBC4. Think it's on each night this week, 90 minutes a time. Absolutely riveting account of the OJ story set against all the civil rights stuff of the 60s and 70s. Even as ayoung sportsman he came across as a piece of work, and he hasn't nicked anything or near-decapitated anyone (allegedly) yet!

Timeless from NBC (shown here on E4) has got a second series after initially being cancelled. Great news.
