Mind Hunter is good, it did a good job of replicating the era with their 70's look. The best bits are when then visit the serial killers in prison.

Stuck with Mind Hunter for about 5-6 episodes. It's sooooooo boring.

It looks great, and you're correct, the detail is amazing, but it's so slow.
Each scene is either; 2 people sat* on a plane, talking. 2 people sat in a prison, talking. 2 people sat in a car, talking. 3 people sat in an office, talking.



*Yes, Dougie.

If not, then I cannot recommend it enough.

I would put it up there with Father Ted, Curb, Partridge, The Office, Spaced, Larry Sanders, it really is that funny. Not so much the last two seasons, and the first one, though they are still good. But when Danny Devito arrives in series two, then things just get better and better and better.


Watched a couple, thought it was shite and binned it. Same with Brooklyn 99

At home, I had no option to watch both Grey's Anatomy and The Good Wife and thoroughly enjoyed them both.

As stated in another thread, Fauda (Arabic for chaos). An Israeli show about a counter terrorism unit tracking a notorious Hamas terrorist who seemingly can't die. It's quite brutal and relentless but also a very balanced look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. One of the best TV shows I've seen in a long time.

Just finished mindhunter, it was fucking good, apart the main character being a piece of shit and his girlfriend being really fucking annoying, but I think the first season is just mainly setting the scene, because youve got the BTK killer in the intro every episode, so season 2 should be a lot better I think.

I managed to avoid the first series of Poldark, (I can't stand thing set in that time period) then the missus insisted on going to Cornwall on holiday to see some of the locations, we went to a place called Charlestown (pictured below) and had a look at the harbour, I thought to myself I'm pretty sure what I'm seeing hasn't changed in 200 years so I'll bet they made it look great.

When I got home I thought I'd have a look to see what it looked like, it looked amazing but more surprisingly I found the programme was bloody excellent, I'm totally hooked on the whole thing.

Same goes for "The crown" I would never have watched that but it's fantastic, created real drama out of events in British history around the time she was crowned.

Looking forward to the return of both.

American Vandal

A kid with a penchant for drawing dicks onthings is expelled from school for spray painting penises on the teachers cars - but was it really him?

Filmed as one of these crime documentaries, the actors play it totally straight which makes it very funny in places. I thought it was great

I agree .
I watched Poldark reluctantly but enjoyed it.
The bad guy George is a bit of a caricature, though.
And is it just me, but I don't get what's so attractive about Demelza.
The other women are generally more attractive, but one of them has just snuffed it.
