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.

Dunno if it’s been mentioned on here but just finished an 8 parter called Under The Bridge

Adaptation of a book of a true story from late 90’s in Canada
Some interesting diversions off from main story and quite shocking all this could go on in fairly sleepy towns. Also made me realise the whole world has had feral kids and nutters in it for decades

Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

I know it's a film, but has anyone seen the Conclave yet? Any good?

Yes. It's brilliant and can see Fiennes getting the Oscar.

I haven’t but Mrs Sheen loved it.

On other matters ecclesiastical, Wolf Hall had a happy ending with that thieving Putney heretic getting it in the neck. Fantastic writing and performances.

Surely, the unwritten rule of this thread is that you don’t mention the ending?

Perhaps, but he’s a historical not fictional character. Not much point having a spoiler alert on Julius Caesar.

Agree with you, I thought it was brilliantly scripted and acted.
The scenes in the last episode where Cromwell runs rings around his accusers in the kangaroo court while knowing all the time that no matter how right he may be he’s doomed anyway, were absolutely riveting.

Landman on Paramount + is superb. Another Taylor Sheridan project (Yellowstone, Special Ops: Lioness, Tulsa King) and it's been fantastic so far. Worth watching just for Billy Bob Thornton chewing up scenes as he continuously puts out fires in his day job running an oil company for a billionaire played by Jon Hamm. Superb cast - Ali Larter looks great as Billy's ex-wife - and the hook in the first episode is one of the best I've ever seen. Hopefully it continues to be this good throughout.

Finished Wolf Hall on Sunday.

Easily the best thing I've watched this year.

Mark Rylance as Cromwell is magnificent.

I can't think of a better actor currently working than Mark Rylance. He hardly needs to say anything - his face and eyes are so expressive. Thomas Cromwell was cruel and vengeful yet as portrayed by Rylance I felt sorry for him.

Yes, very much so. I've binged the first five episodes and now waiting for the last five to drop. I love the interweaving of the story through different viewpoints and the plot holds together well.

I have recently been binge watching Portrait Artist Of The Year and I have found it fascinating to see how the artists work and interpret their subjects.

Started watching Mr In-between. On series 2 atm, excellent TV, so good. Cant believe the guy, also wrote and directed it but hasn't done much else( unless Ive missed it.)
It's kind of a mix of Dead man Shoes, Chopper and a Ken Loach film.
Some of the plots are slightly convoluted but Ray's savage but honest, unhinged but principled charisma carries the story through.

Just done the first series of Bosch : Legacy

I put off watching it after previously binge watching the excellent Bosch; reason being I thought his daughter, Maddie, was going to be the lead role in these spin off series. Thought she was the weakest part of the original shows, thankfully she’s not the lead but is more prominent.

Very enjoyable and Harry Bosch is a cool old dude

Another vote from me, I thought it was superb. We need to see Ray a lot more.

Just binged Lockerbie- The Search For Truth on Sky.

Very impressed, very moving. Have to say, one of Colin Firth's finest performances IMO.

I'm one episode in and while it's taking a while to get going I'm impressed so far.

P.S. Agree that Firth is very good. Fine actor.

Just finished American Rust on Prime. It's a slow-burner of a crime drama set in the decaying post-industrial landscape of Western Pennsylvania - the rust belt. Starring the excellent Jeff Daniels as the small town chief of police, it's dark, atmospheric and twisty as feck. Recommended.


PS - for some reason you have to pay (not a lot, 6.99 I think) for season 1 - I took the punt because a friend recommended it - but season 2 is free. However, after enjoying the entire first season without adverts, I just couldn't take their gaudy intrusion any more and coughed up the extra couple of quid for the pleasure of watching without ads. Perhaps that was part of their fiendish plan, but I have to say it really improves the watching experience.
