I Fought The Law is alright. Story of the lass from Billingham who got murdered and how her mam fought to change the double jeopardy law so her killer could be convicted. It's Sheridan Smith who pulls off a very good teesside accent for the most part.

Is it full drop or a week by week ballache ?? (I'm expecting ballache).

 

Great show, been consistently good/great.


Sadly week by week. I think episode two drops today. Have seen Ep1 already and it's still as good as the previous seasons.

Yeah, Slow Horses is great. I’m going to save them up though and watch them all later this month. I think it’s a 6 part series again. I think they’ve already started filming series 6. Tooj was telling me the books are great too, including a prequel set during the Cold War which tells the back story of Lamb, Taverner and David Cartwright

The books are really good (another one just got released). I have to say though, the TV series is a really good adaptation.

Ditto on the books :thumbsup:

Started Counterpart last night. Mint concept and the first episode was very promising. 


Several episodes in and I have to agree. Phenomenal airbags on the assassin. :lol:

Aye I googled it. I do remember enjoying it. Can't remember the assassin's baps though. Help us all out please.

I mean in these times that sort of material is unavailable to me and words would really not do them justice. :lol:

The Ed Gein series on Netflix is canny messed up. But they've done a decent job of highlighting the blokes very fucking up origins and schizophrenia. Don't think I've ever felt sympathetic towards a serial killer before, but that sick cunts story got me in the feels.

i just started it last night based on your recommendations. not sure why exactly as i don't recall having similar tastes to either of you but i was looking for something new - enjoyed the first episode. jk simmons is always worth watching. looks like it was cancelled after a couple of seasons though so no idea if they wrap things up, or leave it open

Been watching a Sky Documentary on an investigation into the murder of John Palmer - the bloke who smelted the Brinks Mat gold. 

The same team previously looked into the 'Essex Boys' murder which was also a decent watch. There's a lot of thought that they're all interlinked and the Brinks Mat heist is the source of the rising drugs industry in the 80s / 90s.

We watched the Mexican morgue nine bodies thing on the iPlayer. It seemed good, cracking opening theme tune/graphics but I had a sneaking feeling they'd stretch it out or do some real unrealistic bollocks at the end and although I guessed it at the end I still didn't think I'd be right as it was too far fetched. Worth watching if you've got nothing to watch at the minute, it's only six episodes I think so won't tax you. Just be prepared for a bit of a mediocre ending, a damp squid you could say.

Btw, @Christmas Tree ,  top tip for you. I just found out, if you search Google for gifs, for some odd reason it doesn't block any porn out. Ahem, dunno how I found this out. Anyway, as long as you don't mind your porn in 3 second clips, and that's enough for anyone right, you're sorted. 👍

Fucking OUTRAGEOUS patter to be lumping me in with CT in terms of taste. 

 

I honestly can't recall if I even watched the second series so can't help you I'm afraid!

It was perfectly wrapped up. Another season would  have spoiled it.

I’m not saying you like wham, musicals and romcoms 😂

 

I just remember you recommending a couple of series which I tried and didn’t enjoy

The first task in The Celebrity Traitors was compelling viewing. Not exactly sure what they had to do but I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

Said the same to our lass. When they were all helping each other she asked who would you have helped? “Charlotte” immediately
