This week’s episode of Snowfall was fucking superb. Set up nicely for the season finale next week but it’ll be difficult to top that. Bodies dropping everywhere. 
 

Rapidly approaching the very, very top tier of shows, for me. I think they’ll get two more series out of it after this one. For anyone that hasn’t seen it, get on the first three series on BBC iplayer. It just gets better and better. 
 

Still blows my mind that the lad who plays Franklyn is from Peckham. He’s got that LA accent nailed. Superb actor. Only realised recently that he was in an episode of Black Mirror. I didn’t recognise him at the time because I hadn’t seen Snowfall. 

I keep forgetting about it, think I've got two to catch up with now.

Went back to Snowfall after stopping for some reason before the last episode of S3. Finally watched it the other day. As a stand-alone piece of TV it’s been highly rated. Now got S4 to work through. I agree it’s a top show. 


That’s the “What if?” episode, right? I enjoyed that one.

I never knew that. He acts very well. Reminded me when I found out Stringer Bell was English. They act the part so well, it truly draws you in to their character.

The Night Of- 9/10. Utterly gripping, grim, low-key, realistic, nihilistic, bleak, sobering, terrifying drama. Absolutely fantastic stuff with brilliant performances from a host of superb character actors. John Turturro, Michael Kenneth Williams (of course) and especially Riz Ahmed pull out the stops in this.

 

I won't say anything about the plot as it fully deserves to be watched blind, suffice to say you'll change your mind multiple times per episode. The squalor and decay of the NY locations, particularly the corruption at Rikers and Turturro's allergies, puts it almost into a psychological horror movie genre at times.

 

On Now TV, one of the few things worth watching on that. It's apparently based on an earlier UK series, which I'll be searching out.

Yeah it’s incredible isn’t it? The UK series it was based on was called Criminal Justice. It was on BBC iplayer not long ago. Don’t think it’s on there now though. The US version is far superior in my opinion. Worth checking the original out though. Pete Postlethwaite and Ben Wishaw play the main roles.

Thanks mate, that's the one. I was wondering if it's on BritBox, but it doesn't seem to be. I'm interested because of Postlethwaite, but only because the US version is so good.

 

I read around and it seems there was a vague idea of doing a John Stone series- I'm so glad they didn't, this was perfect and doing some sort of 'case of the week with an overarching story' would have ruined it. Plus I couldn't have handled his allergies, he was making me itch just by looking at him by the end...

Fucking kip of Jimmy Carr trying to look trendy on Sunday Brunch ..

Guess fleecing the tax man of thousands of pounds must be worth it to look that plastic

I know the cook one is a red and I don’t mind the ‘king of the tin’ feature but I find Lovejoy annoying. The wife has a pathological loathing for Jimmy Carr though, so I’ll stick that on in a bit (she records it), it’ll distract her from my shortcomings for a while.
