Have just finished the first series of Slow Horses and agree that it’s superb. The fact that the Oldman character looks, sounds and behaves like an ex-colleague adds to the enjoyment.

I'll admit to some bias as the subject matter is rather close to my heart but I can recommend a new series on Neflix called Translantic. I'd advise some perseverance beyond episode 1 - it's...
We've just finished that and thought it was wonderful. I think the portrayal of Noye evened out over the six episodes and, having read the various Wiki entries, arguably they went very soft on...
A one off rather than a series but I recommend an RTE documentary currently showing on BBC4 about the restoration of Shackleton's shed.

Following a tip off from a colleague before Christmas I have now taken delivery of the DVD box set of The Sandbaggers. Very much enjoying it so far - every episode is standalone so it lacks the slow...
I'm quite enjoying that one as well. It's technically quite fascinating and they've obviously been successful in picking out some interesting characters. It's also quite interesting to work out if...
I didn't make it to the end of the 1st episode - I often struggle with historical dramas because they frequently take liberties with the actualité but this takes it to a completely different level....
Having just finished the Michael Palin Erebus book I find this quite intriguing.
Thanks for the heads up. Interestingly, they've released all of the episodes at once rather than rationing them out, two at a time.
I think John Hurt is absolutely on fire in these - I might have to watch the series for the 3rd time.
I'm very much enjoying the current offering from Shane Meadows on C4 - The Virtues.
It's probably true to say that I'm enjoying the streaming experience from C4 rather less.
I've only just caught up with this whilst on a business trip. I find the whole thing to be very sharp and the inversion of the 4th wall conceit in the last episode is very cleverly done.
We're...
Since when has a North American re-make of anything been better that the original?
All three series of The Bridge are on Iplayer at the minute.
How are you getting on with Modus; we switched off half way into episode 2? Ridiculous plot, poorly written characters and particularly badly-written dialogues. Clearly everything Scandi isn't always...
It is, isn't it.
Earlier in the week we watched The Miniaturist on Iplayer. An enjoyable two-parter with the fragrant Anya Taylor-Joy in the principal role and some beautifully designed though agreeably austere...
We're currently working our way through the original House of Cards (Netflix have thrown another 30 day trial at me) and it's every bit as tightly-written and performed as I remember it. In the light...
