I also like Doug Henshall. It was a little hard to find. The torrent I found only has 1 seeder & 1 leacher, So the download took ages. One other thing is that although the audio is English, it has hard coded Dutch subs. I will send the link via PM as soon as I have posted this. 

I got it going now. Only 2 seeders. Will be about hour and a half or so if they stay connected.

 

On a side note newest season of Shetland will start on 11 August. Doug Henshall is good in that series.

I Just Killed My Dad   -- crime / doco....RARBG...3 episodes  IMDB 7.2

 

IMDB User review --Maybe a good story, but this documentary is so poorly made, handful of boring people trying to tell the story without a break and put whoever is watching to sleep after getting a headache. Netflix needs to improve their program quality, no wonder Netflix is struggling.

I'm into the third episode and think that it's not too bad. The kid strikes me as a bit of a sociopath, so will be interested to see what kind of time he gets, if any.

Thanks for the heads up. I was in two minds as to whether to DL it or not.

 

I copied this one instead from Youtube.

Contained a few inconsistencies that I wasn't aware of.

I'm currently watching season 1 of State of Play (2003). It's very good IMHO and well worth watching. It's got a decent cast, including Bill Nighy, Kelly Macdonald & James McAvoy. I got it from TGx. Not many seeders/leechers, so it took a while.

There's a 2009 movie with the same tifle, also excellent. Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Miren. Remake of the tv series.

Currently  watching Code 404 a police comedy  with lots  of potential  and plenty of over acting. Some patches  of good dialogue but clichéd women characters. It

stars Stephen Graham and Daniel Mays -  both of whom should have laid  off the C whilst shooting.

I watched seasons 1 and 2 and thought it was okay , season 3 has just dropped so will give it a go.

Yeah it was OK but could have been better. Yes season three has been 'released' and its watchable but there are obvious flaws that a more critical writer/ producer  would have addressed. I assume the two lead actors  were too busy to wait for rewrites and reshoots.

In the two shot reverse  angles you  can see the eye lines don't match especially  Graham's. Such camera  work is not acceptable

I'm half way through Black Bird season 1 and it's pretty good so far IMHO. Well worth a look. I think it's was mentioned by @Will27, so thanks for that. I got it from TGx.

https://tv.apple.com/us/show/black-bird/umc.cmc.30gx1y8nwthydkrvhqu156p3

 

Completed it on Monday night. It gets a bit slow, and could perhaps have wrapped up in 3 or 4 episodes.

 

Really enjoyed:

Slow Horses https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5875444/

 

The Old Man https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5875444/

was good, but then a bit obvious at the end, or anticlimactic, or both, I can't remember.

 

The Lincoln Lawyer https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13833978/?ref_=tt_sims_tt_i_7

is good

 

Redemption https://www.amazon.com/Redemption-Season-1/dp/B0B3WG7HCQ

is excellent

The Emperor's New Clothes and Better Call Saul.

Anybody else a bored with BCS? Anybody else lost? Anybody just doesn't care or is it  only me who thinks Better Call Saul could have ended about three episodes  ago?

Ever since the restart after the hiatus I've lost interest.

I definitely  don't like those big breaks  after seven episodes. Either way- The thrill has gone!

The Caliphate  is a Swedish 2019 production but actually  based on the story  of three  Muslim schoolgirls from East London who left their homes  to join ISIS in Syria. The story was  considered  too sensitive  for the BBC to make the  drama about their  flight and subsequent events. An excellent  production, gripping, dramatic with very good casting and storyline construction.

I have just finished  watching  this an can highly  recommend  it. It's not just scarily topical but the suspense is pretty stressful.  It's a great  viewing experience  despite the subtitles.

I also enjoyed Slow Horses & The Old man. I've downloaded Redemption and will be watching it soon. I'm currently downloading The Lincoln Lawyer from TGx - thanks for the recommendation.

When a season is released in 2 parts, I always wait until the complete season is available before watching it.
