Tv - Must Watch Shows

[Kathryn Magson]

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.

Excellent news, I was hoping they'd do another series.

when I started watching the very first episode, I thought WTF somebody's gonna say “Bada bing, bada boom,” and I'd be outaa here'. Pleasantly surprised, it was really enjoyable.

Just watched the 1st episode of season 2, looks promising..............

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.

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.

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.

If you enjoy drug/gang type things then I can highly recommend Power Book IV: Force.

It's really good.

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. 

Does it get any better?
