Don't tend to watch many documentaries on Netflix as they drag on forever but 'American Nightmare' was good. Only 3 episodes and a crazy story.

[Elite]

Really enjoying 'Godless' in Netflix halfway through the mini-series. Quality western TV show.

True Detective 4/10. Utter shite.

 

If this is an example of 'woke' then the Gammons may have a point.

Woke, in what way? 

Having female leads and a female-centric storyline is not woke.

It was the whole females = good, males = bad bullshit. Plus it was preposterous regardless.

Five series according to IMDB. Four to go.

I also enjoyed Underbelly from Oz if you haven't seen it.

Yep , 5 series. I'm on the fifth now and as Tommy says it's gone off on a complete tangent, I'll stick with it a while and see how it goes.  First 4 though were excellent.

Finished Griselda on netflix. Definitely worth watching. It said based in a true story and some of it was so ridiculous I thought it was mostly fictional. Was quite surprised how much of it was true after googling it at the end.

I've just started series 3,the prison setting. Very funny so far.

They should probably let it die at this point. The first series captured lightning in a bottle, the next two were mediocre at best and it sounds like the last one is a complete turd, despite some rather desperate positive reviews from 'professional critics' which look to be more based around culture warring than the actual quality of the series.

I’m on my own in thinking series two was decent.

I don't think her character in it came across as hard as it's made out she was in real life though. hard faced yeah and clearly a murderer but she seemed to spend most of the series begging for help.

It's OK, just a disappointment after the first one.

[Torvald Utne]

Started watching Criminal Record (Peter Capaldi), only watched the first episode so far but it if the rest is anywhere near as good, should be a cracker

It was shite.

[Anubis]

It wasn’t, it was decent, but the ending just felt very rushed.

It certainly sounds it. I've started rewatching the third series, I just couldn't get going with the second. It's actually a lot better than I remembered, although I'm sure I recall it sagging badly about halfway through and being too long.

Series 2 and 3 were decent after the original was a cracker. 4 was simply not even in the same universe.

Just watched the first episode of Sexy Beast. mainly because I walked past Croxteth Hall a few times when they were filming it. They had a big Marquee on the grass field next to it for all the make up artists etc. 

 

So far not that good, I'll keep going. It might help if I stop looking for comparisons to the film which is excellent.

I'm not sure the pacing of the ending was the issue. More the Scooby Doo nature of the police work and a level of logic more akin to an episode of Midsomer Murders.

[polymerpunkah]

I pretended the two leads were male from the start, so it was just a string of the usual boring cop-show cliches capped off by a slapped-together, ill-thought-out ending.

 

SPOILER

 

The idea that they'd all just get together, get their guns, and kill all those people without actually trying to figure out which, if any of them actually killed the victim is ridiculous. 

 

As bad as series one was good, and the longer it lasted the worse it got.

I gave up after episode 4, it was fucking shite.

I loved the film. But it seems to me if ever there was a movie that didn't need a prequel or a sequel, that was probably one. You don't need to know anything about those people.

It all hinges on how Dons character turns out.
