Watched the first 2 episodes of Paula on Iplayer. Grim but gripping with the last episode on Thursday. 

 

Also watched the first Episode of Broken, Jimmy McGoverns latest offering. This is also very grim but I think i will be drawn into it. 

 

Finally, Hinterland, BBC Wales crime drama. Watched the third series of it and really enjoyed it. 

 

Iplayer is worth the license fee on its own

7.5 out of ten.

 

Good but the poorest season so far. Not many TV shows can keep the level of shit hotness as the first 4 seasons.

 

Hopefully it won't be one of those shows that jumps the shark.

I enjoyed it. Agree with others that it wasn't as good as previous seasons though

It was on channel 5 (I think) last year but there seems to have been a new series in the US that has not appeared here yet.

Halfway through current season of House of Cards and agree with what's being said. 7.5 so far but nowhere near as gripping as previous seasons.

 

Also watching Better Call Saul and it's been great.

 

Still haven't got a ****ing clue what's going on in American Gods. Made the mistake of starting it thinking they were all available so have to wait a week to compound my whata****ery.

Just finished " OJ Simpson Made in America"... Its a 5 part documentary about him and his notorious life. It really is outstanding.  It looks in depth about his football career, then race relations in the US and his  " Uncle Tom" image. 

 

He was/ is one ****ed up man and there really is no doubt he killed Nicole and Ron Goldman.  Its a classic domestic violence scenario which sadly ended with those murders Some heartbreaking interviews with the deceased families especially Ron Goldmans dad who persue a civil case against the scumbag OJ.

 

Its currently on BBC iplayer as well as Kodi.

Finding Hitler on the History Channel. 3 whole series of 'experts' trying to work out if Hitler didn't die in his bunker and he survived after all, and it's all real. Ofcourse it's an American show

I happened across a Canadian crime drama on iPlayer called Cardinal. About a small town cop trying to find a serial killer. Pretty good.

Broken on BBC1 really tackling big subjects like people living in poverty because of difficulty with benefits, police cover ups and child abuse by priests. Really strong story lines by Jimmy McGovern and well acted. Gripping television

If you want "gripping television" why not watch the news. Personally the world being the place it is I like to be entertained not depressed by shows. The BBC are ******* at doing the entertainment part nowadays.

I'm still watching Better Call Saul but it all just seems sort of aimless. It's still slow as a week in the jail it takes ages to tell any story. His brother chuck is an annoying knob and jimmy just doesn't seem the same character he was in Breaking Bad imo.

 

Watched the new Prison Break :rofl: what a piece of nonsense that was.

You upto date with Saul? I feel like we are beginning to see the sly and scammy side of Jimmy/Saul. His brother must have a big part to play here and I'm quite enjoying the Salamanca/Gus storyline.

 

Not a bad series in my opinion but Vince Gilligan loves drawing story lines out

Changed my mind on current season of House of Cards. Last few episodes were brilliant. Francis back to being a right evil dirty ****er. Really enjoyed it.

Agreed on Riviera. What a backdrop too, absolutely stunning.

 

Started on Brockmire, 3 or 4 episodes in and it is incredibly funny.

First full season of El Chapo available on Netflix. Anyone watched it yet?

I watched the first two it feels like a cheap version of Narcos.

 

It's all subtitles not that I mind that but so far I'm not really into it

Watched the first season of American Gods and I think I enjoyed it. I think. Very confusing, but very well made and I will definitely watch season 2

I didnt think much of " Paula"...I thought it didn't make much sense and the ending was pathetic.   I do like " Broken". It is grim but realistic.  The scene were Father Michael confronted his abuser was shocking.  The acting was really powerful.  Im going to try " Cardinal" which is on Iplayer. Its had good reviews.

Why did it take me so long to watch Gomorrah. Jesus its good, arguably the best series Ive watched to date

The sheer amount of backstabbing in that show certainly keeps you on edge.

Started watching Grimm.

 

I had no idea what to expect but into the 2nd season just now and I'm quite enjoying it.

 

It's not amazing but it's decent.

Absolutely Series One was unreal the pace of the drama slowed down in Series Two imo, Ending was amazing. Not sure if coming back for Season Three though :(.

I felt the last episode and particularly the ending let Paula down. It minded me a bit of the League of Gentleman!

 

Loving Broken. Sean Bean has impressed me in it (never thought I would say that about Sean Bean!)

 

Cardinal is well worth a watch. 

 

I think I missed some earlier episodes of Hinterland so catching up on Netflix. Wee fact - on Iplayer quite a bit of each episode is in Welsh with subtitles. Netflix they are all in English.

First 3 or 4 eps in season 2 were slow but after that it kicked off massively
