Is anyone watching this new Disney+ series Shardlake? I think its supposed to be like Sherlock Holmes in the 16th century or something like that.

Books are excellent.

If it’s any good I might sign up to Disney plus again for a while.

Anyone seen it?

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

Hacks is back tonight. The first two episodes are already out. You know where to look.

Oooh thanks! Really enjoyed the first two seasons of this.

Finished the latest season of Blue Lights last night - thought this latest season was brilliant. Hope it comes back for more.

Already renewed for two more seasons.

[Ciara (with a capital "C")]

it is extremely similar to Hijack in its process, but not as good. Incident on a plane, played out in real time (countdown shown each episode to when it's supposed to land), cutting to the Home Office dealing with the incident on the ground. Carbon copy with a different scenario on the plane. I fully expect a show called something like Dry flight soon, where they haven't stocked enough alcohol and everyone is going nuts fermenting alcohol in their sick bags, but there's one shady character who has a hidden stash, with the Home Office trying to stop the flight landing in a country that's banned alcohol.

I didn't mind Redeye at all - thought it was probably 2 episodes too long, could definitely have been condensed but for something easy watching it was ok.

Something to put on your list if you like easy, 7/10 shows you don't have to think too much about.

Amazing news!

I watched the first two and enjoy it. I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know how it compares. But you can a lot of care has gone into it.

Watched ep1 last night - nothing spectacular but really solid start. Carrying on with it later. The fella who plays Shardlake is well cast.

Books were fantastic but how sad is it that Sansom died three days before the series aired.

[Ycuzz]

Sugar. End of ep 6

 

Took some turn!

Spoiler

So, alien? Ooor.. drugs? Either way, the whole thing flipped on the head!

Leaning to alien. Would explain alot of earlier things. Metabolism. Reflexes. Weird looking syringe. And so forth.

Can never be too careful, it should be shouted at any opportunity how much of a c*nt he is.

[TepidT2O]

Series 3 of Clarkson Farm. Which manages as ever to harness all Clarksons best bits and leave behind his bad bits.
It’s silly sometimes but is really about the countryside and farming in a way other programmes have never managed to capture without being utterly dull, or totally staged (and dull)

Bloody hell ! Great stuff. Great TV

[meady1981]

Every single Christmas special of a comedy show that has been finished for a number of years has been utter utter utter dogshit. And you can’t change my mind.

22 - Detectorists, that was 5 years after it ended.
96 - Only Fools and Horses (Heroes and Villains)

By and large though, yeah.

[Statto Red]

Welcome to Wrexham season 3 is now up, first 2 episodes are quite good, seems to be more focused on dressing room stuff, particularly from the first match of the season & the Swindon match both of which were wild.

Hm. I thought I remembered the OF&H one being only a couple of years after the show 'stopped'.. but I'll give you that one.
Detectorists though, despite being a MASSIVE fan, I thought the special was pointless.

They don't mention it much, but the stadium is now sponsored by STōK Cold Brew Coffee.

Finished Under The Banner of Heaven last night. Very good. Based on true events a fairly grisly tale. Definitely worth a watch

[bradders1011]

The 2000s OFAH specials are disgraceful and should not be considered canon.

I went on a run of that sort of show last year. If you haven’t seen them, check out Black Bird and Love and Death.

We watched Black Bird when it came out. Agree that was very good too.

Not seen the other one so will look that up cheers

First episode of the second season of The Responder is a cracker.  It's all on iPlayer so I might blitz it later.

[keano7]

This is already out on various sites, full season.

Two episodes in. It’s really good but tough to watch more than one episode at a time as it’s so harrowing (and very graphic).

[Buck Pete]

Yeah was good. Really intriguing plot already

Chris (Freeman) is a great character.  You can just feel his pain.

Ahh didn't realize all eps were up.  Great will watch it all this week.

[Bangin Them In]

A Man in full - Netflix
Jeff Daniels in good form

[Baby Huey]

I watched this a few weeks back, and loved it. If you've not got BET it's a bit difficult to find.No matter the circumstances, breakups are often gutting and can cause the people experiencing them to spiral out of control. Created by Diarra Kilpatrick, “Diarra From Detroit” centers on a heartbroken school teacher, Diarra (Kilpatrick), hiding out in her childhood home amid a three-month-long separation from her charming but estranged husband, Francois (a suave Morris Chestnut). Unable to confront the fact that her half-decade-long marriage has come to an end, Diarra’s anxiety and anguish have manifested into insomnia and rage. Exhausted by her own bullshit, she goes on a surprisingly euphoric Tinder date with a guy named Chris (Shannon Wallace). Yet, despite a sex-filled evening culminating in eight hours of sleep, Diarra gets ghosted. Unwilling to be cast aside by yet another man, she embarks on a quest to get an apology. However, instead of confronting Chris, Diarra finds herself on a hilariously chaotic misadventure involving an infamous 1995 case of a missing young boy.

Is a 'half-decade' long marriage, the same as a five year one?

[stevieG786]

Anyone watched KIN?

i've just binged both seasons this past week. amazing series..with series 2 being better then series 1.

Great series, and features the late Bernard Hill. It's also one of the very few examples of non-scousers pulling off a fairly decent accent, without sounding Welsh/Irish/Geordie...

Watched both series, brilliant. I like the way the characters get a fair share of screen time, there are the key players but every individuals story gets some time in the spotlight and is well portrayed.

Yep! i hope there is a season 3, from what i've read the america company that produced it has gone out of business and there isn't any plans for a 3rd series

That would be a shame as there's so much potential with the different storylines.

Spoiler for those who haven't finished S2, but

Spoiler

Birdy could be the one to step up with Bren and Frank now gone. She was a strong character with a fairly closed back story that could be explored more.
