I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.
Anyone else love ‘Still Game’? Legendary Scottish sitcom, on iPlayer and Netflix. Just watched the last episode of the 9 series, wonderful characters and the ending was quite emotional.

Always wondered about it, but you're the first person I can remember talking about it.
You obviously love it.
"The opposite of love, after all, is not hate, but indifference."
I've only watched one episode but found it glum, as you;d expect from True Detective, but without the wry humour. As you say, most characters are kind of pathetic, so it's hard to have any empathy for them. I haven't been tempted to go back.
To be honest the first season of True Detective was one of the best things ever made for TV, so everything that's followed has been a fairly pale imitation.
Although I quite liked season 2 in a bizarro way. And having Rachel McAdams was a big plus.

I do! I can also do a passable impression of Isa
My favourite Scottish comedy programme is "Two doors down," though, that is superb
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
I've been watching a Netflix show called Ganglands. Very familiar in a lot of ways, but some great performances, wild action sequences on location in Brussels and Antwerp (!) and some improbable plot-twists...nothing as crazy as braining a canoeist with a rock though. The first police officer is seen about 30 deaths in.
The BBC is showing this and the episodes I have watched so far, have been tremendous.
It's pretty intense and gruelling, though, you might want to watch a couple of episodes of "The Clangers," with some chamomile tea, afterwards, to cheer you up and help you relax

Speaking of plodless environments, been watching The Gentlemen.
It's a fun caper and typical Guy Ritchie where everyone speaks slowly, painstakingly but very eloquently ("Well, my felonious friend, you say 'hello' and I genuinely do appreciate that, but it's put me in something of a quandary vis-a-vis a decision as to whether to return your facilitations, ergo, you can fawk right off...etc etc").
Murder, weapons and drugs are rife, as ever, but all the shenanigans are acted out in gentle time with no-one, and I mean no-one coming face-to-face with a copper.
Never one around when you need one, eh?

I hated myself for watching that. The toffs-and-geezers shtick is so tired, but they put so much time and effort into it. I didn't recognise Joely Richardson at all, bit of a shock there.

My all time favourite comedy. BBC never really promoted it outside Scotland.

Guy Ritchie really is a bit of a one trick pony.
I've just finished it, and I find it hard not to think I'm watching bits stitched together from his previous efforts or, shamelessly knicked from other films.
Another one here for the 'Octopus Murders'.

"Ukraine: enemy in the woods" - BBC documentary consisting of interviews and helmet cam footage from a battalion of Ukrainians tasked him holding a stretch of frontline during the winter. Unbelievably intense and sobering, but well worth a watch. I couldn't cope with the cold, never mind the constant attacks and having to try and kill people.

That’s extraordinary. Drones add an extra layer of terror to the misery of being a foot-soldier.
It’s so easy to get bored by the stalemate and turn away from the waste of lives and assets, but the resistance of the Ukrainians and the callousness of the Russians can’t be ignored.
A bit late but I'm 3 episodes into Once upon a time in Northern Ireland. Incredible stuff. I need a bit of a break after each episode, it's a tough watch at times and gripping.
Growing up in an Irish Catholic family I know a fair bit about it but there has been stuff I wasn't aware of. First hand accounts from ex IRA and UDA members is fascinating.
Some of the scenes with the participants as children are heartbreaking. The hunger strike episode especially.
