It's not a series but I watched the late 1980s documentary "Fourteen Days in May" on BBC Iplayer based on Louis Theroux's recommendations of must watch documentaries that had influenced him.
It may not be for everyone but I found it to be a very powerful and moving film showing the building tension in the days and hours before an apparently innocent man's scheduled execution.

Just discovered AP Bio on Sky, laugh out loud funny with one of the fellas from Always Sunny playing a lunatic of a teacher. Only one series so I'm having to ration ration myself
Thanks for the tip! Always Sunny is so brilliant it’s difficult to put into words adequately.
So clever my foot fell off.
Watched the first couple of episodes of Locke and key on Netflix, really good so far
Thanks, been looking forward to this wasn't sure when it was on
I read the comic/graphic novel written by Stephen King's son and it was excellent so have high hopes for this
I saw the trailer for that on Netflix last night - looked promising, although I don't know too much about it.
Have also watched a couple of episodes of The Stranger - that is pretty good so far.
Enjoying The Stranger, 3 episodes in.

Very, very good - complex plot (which I have not quite worked out yet!).
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Not a new one, but I have just watched 'After Life' with Ricky Gervais.
I am not generally a big fan of RG's stuff, but this one I thoroughly enjoyed. Well worth a watch, it was very well done.
Have now watched 5 episodes - very good, but still don't know where it is going!
The Mrs and I have just stormed through season 1 of Evil, whilst not perfect by any means it's offered a couple of genuine shocks and posed the occasional philosophical question...like a lot of these shows imho the first 3 or 4 episodes tend to be better, tighter then you get a bit of 'filler' in the middle and a return to form towards the end, if you're lucky.
Apparently Evil was confirmed for a second series after the first 4 episodes were aired, pretty good, novel for a new show I think. The leads are well acted, the chief male protagonist was in Marvels 'Luke Cage', where he brought a quiet dignity to the role, not usually associated with the Super Hero genre and he does well as a somewhat conflicted priest in training tasked with proving/debunking possessions and miracles in this.
Not a new show but just finished watching The Fall with Gillian Anderson.. was a very good show, enjoyed it.
Just starting Homecoming , few episodes in and looking good so far.
Chris.
tbh, if I hadn't seen the titles, I couldn't believe Harlan Coben had anything to do with it. The story line is appalling and has holes you could drive a lorry through. Perhaps I was falling a sleep at key points but some of the aspects of the story are, frankly, beyond belief. For example how did the bent copper get the lanyard off the missing teacher. How on earth did he also think why the 'missing teacher' would get hold of a gun with a silencer and shoot someone in a cake shop? What the heck? Also, after he found out what was wrong with his daughter, why did he still continue a killing spree when the reason given for this in the first place was to safeguard his employer who was paying him so he could do expensive private specialist for his daughters illness? I could go on and on but you get the idea....
The Aaron Hernandez series on Netflix is very good, especially if you’ve not heard anything about it on the news.
Really enjoyed The Stranger on netflix and would highly recommend.
Agreed, never knew anything about this, bonkers story for a guy that had everything. Worth a watch indeed.
We all watching Picard?
Has its own thread: https://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.p...ar-Trek-Picard
Fantastic. That will be a monumental yes then. Enjoying it.
Home Land with Old quiver lip is back on as well for those that can tolerate her lip quivering
Binged on the whole series over the last few evenings and thought it was great fun, really enjoyed it and thanks for heads up.
Schitts creek. Gets funnier and funnier. Who’d of thought Macaulay culkins mum could be so funny.
I had a week off and did the same. I then had a two day business trip this week and have watched almost all of Kiss Me First and October Faction on the plane there and back. Both really good.
In the middle of tanning Travelers at the moment, decent enough and well made. Will have a go at those 2 afterwards thank you!
On Netflix? It's not showing on mine
Watched The Stranger yesterday
Very good show,, well worth a go.
Chris.
Really enjoyed the first 2.. especially the first one.
Will definitely be giving the 3rd a go.
Do you mean Travelers - the time travel sci-fi series?
If so, it is excellent.
So clever my foot fell off.
The very same, really enjoying it too.
The Outsider on Sky. Just started watching episode 3.

I’m four episodes in to Locke and Key and it’s warming up nicely.
Anyone watched the last season of The Affair. I’m 3 in and have given up.
Same here - very good so far & pretty sinister!
We didn't even bother. The previous season was poor.
Yes, not bad at all. I wasn't sure I'd bother having read the book, but it's pretty good.
Yellowstone is pretty good so far.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
About 4 episodes into S2 of "Castle Rock" (on Starplayz via Amazon Prime).
The first season was ok with a typical Stephen King creepy vibe but this second season seems to have taken a slightly weirder turn (and for the worse imho).
Will keep with it for a few more episodes...
If anyone’s interested in Starplayz on Prime, it’s currently £0.99 per month for 3 months.

Altered Carbon Season 2 on Netflix next week.
Fan of the books , lukewarm on season 1 , be interesting to see it nonetheless ; seems to be a possible amalgam of the second and third books .
The Godfather of Harlem, quality watch 4 episodes in.
Also the Sky Entertainment deal on NowTV is on offer for £1 for 2 months, Sopranos is getting watched, again.
Keep an eye on hotukdeals, I’ve had Sky Entertainment since October which currently runs until May, and thanks to there its cost me the grand total of £2.
Just started watching Hunters on Amazon. Not sure if we’ll stick with it, but will certainly give it a couple of episodes to decide.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
I take it back. The middle episodes (mainly focusing on Annie - no spoilers) brought it back on track and the link to S1 was nicely done too.
Thanks for the heads up. 2 months for £1. Bargain.
Looks like a binge watch of Game of Thrones.......
Been bed ridden the last couple of days so got through Hunters and Locke and Key.
Both of which were entertaining enough.

Thanks for that, really quite enjoyed the first season, it was a while ago now though so might need to watch the last episode again to refresh what happened.
Cheers..

Better Call Saul - Just brlliant
Locke and Key on Netflix is well worth a watch
The Virtues. Yes I know this was broadcast 8 months ago but we only just got around to watching it. What an incredible mini-series, superbly produced and acted and with a harrowing story that I am still mulling over days later. Certainly the most powerful TV I have seen in a very long time. Even the soundtrack is worthwhile with PJ Harvey contributing 5 original songs that saw me buying the record too.
It is a must watch.
Shane Meadows has long been a hero of mine. This interview is incredible on his inspiration for The Virtues, although far from easy to read:
