Kathryn Magson Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I think The Game (Cold War spy thriller set in the 1970s) on BBC Iplayer is well worth a watch. I've found quite a few decent dramas on there recently. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pleasantly surprised, it was really enjoyable. Just watched the 1st episode of season 2, looks promising.............. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Twoshoes Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Binged watched the French crime series Sambre Anatomy of a Murder based on a true story about a serial rapist. My only downside being it says the series is meant to be a tribute to the victims and not factual. This led to discussions between myself and Lou at various points as to whether this or that actually happened as some instances of police incompetence and indifference were astounding. One scene in particular led to lengthy talk on surely someone in the station would have questioned or had second thoughts, if you watch the series I'm pretty sure you will recognise this scene in particular. That said excellent acting, gripping story line well worth a watch. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

That said excellent acting, gripping story line well worth a watch. I'm halfway through it & had pretty much the same thoughts - police incompetence etc. I reckon a bit of dramatic license makes for a more dramatic story-line - bit like some of the British press! Gripping series & well worth watching none the less. Have to say I do like to watch the French programmes - not only are they usually very good, they also help me to keep up with my French! Also just watched The Hunt for Raoul Moat (old series that was repeated very recently) Well worth another watch - it's easy to forget just how horrific it all was for those involved & also for the residents of the area.

Gripping series Yes I get that, watching the last episode today after which I will look up the case and hopefully get some perspective on truth and fiction. Gripping as you say. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Peter99 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 If you enjoy drug/gang type things then I can highly recommend Power Book IV: Force. It's really good. Peter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'm struggling to get past the very cheesy/tongue in cheek beginning - switched over half way through Sylvester being in the cannabis shop when he arrives in Tulsa right at the start.

Jessie Pinkman Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 I've just watched the first 2 episodes of Monsters. The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story. on Netflix. I kept thinking to myself surely this can't be true. Well recommended. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Kathryn Magson Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Did anyone watch "Till" on BBC2 on Sunday night? It's based on a true story exposing racism in 1950s Mississippi, when a 14 year old boy was murdered for paying a compliment to a white woman. Very sad story & well worth watching. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Woodbutcher Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 "Paris Has Fallen" , french made spin-off series extending the "Has Fallen" franchise..

Mike Posted October 13 Author Share Posted October 13 Threads BBC 1984 The news article linked below led me to re-watch the BBCs 1984 Threads https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2dp8197y3eo A television drama about a fictional nuclear attack on the city of Sheffield had a profound effect on many who watched it in the 1980s. Now it has aired once again, we spoke to some first and second-time viewers to gauge their reaction. 40 years on, forgot how harrowing it was at the time I'd say alltime must watch tv but for the wrong reasons anyone else re-visited it? 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
