Yep, finished season 1 - dunno if that's the end or just the end of the first book as I haven't read them. It's well made with a biggish budget I suspect so pretty good overall - good cast with some...

Apparently season 2 is in the works, with Tom Hiddleston reprising his role as Jonathan Pine.
Don't watch GoT, but I recognised her from The Sandman where she played Lucifer Morningstar.
Yep, loved it, every second. I normally don't care for teen fantasy stuff - Twilight et al, but this is an absolute joy. The script is very clever with Wednesday delivering some killer one-liners,...
There's no doubt that the series is well-made and well-written and Bill Pullman plays the dogged but messed-up detective to perfection. But not really my cup of tea. I watched the first season and...
Actually now in its fourth season.
I've some bad news I'm afraid. Season two ends on a cliff-hanger with lots of unanswered questions, but France Télévision cancelled season 3 due to low viewing figures, so unless it's picked up by...
Talking of old series, the first seven seasons of Columbo are on Amazon (at least on Amazon France) and I have been watching them one by one from the very first episode - which was directed by...
Raquel from Coronation Street, 30 years later!
Still in pre-production, but one that I think will be worth watching when it comes out - The Contintental, a spin-off from the John Wick films.
Anybody tried Counterpart? It's original if nothing else - a sort of espionage/cold war/political machinations/science fiction tale. It stars JK Simmonds - the nutty music teacher from Whiplash. ...
That, right there, is among the soundest advice ever posted on this forum. I'm not squeamish, but flipping heck...
By the way, did you know that nurse Lucy is Bono's daughter?
There was an Anglo-French reboot of The Bridge called The Tunnel, with the dead 'body' found at the exact mid-point of a service shaft for the Eurotunnel. The French detective is played by Clémence...
A couple of other Scandi detective series I've watched and enjoyed recently are Deadwind (from Finland) and The Valhalla Murders (from Iceland).
Also a Spanish series filmed around Galicia...
When Hodinkee published LVMH's press release announcing that Frédéric Arnault had been named CEO of TAG Heuer, a witty post in the comments called him Roman Roy. His older sister Delphine, who...
I really enjoyed that and, oh my what a babe.
After Life season 2 now on Netflix.
Yep, I finished it. Not bad, but not great - a little unsatisfying, perhaps trying too hard to be different.
Fun fact - the original graphic novel it is taken from was written by the vocalist...
Halfway through a couple on Netflix-
Freud - a Netflix Austria original series. Well odd, all I can say is if you liked Penny Dreadful you'll probably like this. The main actress even bears (and...
Westworld season 3 is out. If you watch episode 1, don't bugger off to put the kettle on when the end credits start - there's a final scene afterwards.
Loved series 1, gave up after half an hour of episode 1 of series 2. Difficult to forget you are not watching 'Falcon' from Ironman and Kovacs instead (yes, they changed the actor).
Dracula just turned up on Netflix France. An interesting take on the story, not entirely faithful to the novel and the portrayal of the count seems to owe more than a little to Tom Ellis's Lucifer...
It's a thing called an oxymoron.
Also Doom Patrol - it's just started on the Sci-Fi channel here.
I'm 3 episodes in 'Better Than Us', a Russian Netflix series, which is shaping up quite nicely. It deals with Asimov's 3 laws of robotics and if you liked Humans, Westworld, Ex Machina, Blade...
