I didn't know Detectorists was back, thank you! Been watching too much Netflix stuff.
Speaking of which, I watched the first episode of Punisher. It looks wonderful and I did enjoy it, particularly the sense of isolation, but I can't help thinking Netflix are starting to push their luck a bit with The Defenders.

Just finished Stranger Things 2 - it's very good
I know all the D&D references too! Woot!

Working my way through a number of older series recently, episodes of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Castle, Highlander: The Series, and Hornblower.

Any good?
I watched the other 2 series and have been waiting expectantly for this one.
I've got it on record for a mega-binge watch on rainy days.

I know what you mean - on paper Peaky Blinders should have been right up my street but it just didn't work for me.

The Good Place (Netflix)
A woman dies, and finds herself in, to all intents and purposes, heaven. However, she didn't live a particularly good life, so what happens now? Beginning with her trying not to give the game away (and so be sent to The Bad Place), this snappy little comedy spirals out further, with more people being drawn into her dilemma.
Stranger Things s2 (Netflix)
A worthy sequel to the first series, I think. Will has returned from the upside down, but keeps slipping back into visions of it. Is that flashbacks from the trauma of his experiences, or something more sinister?
Outlander s3 (Prime)
I'd forgotten about this for a couple of weeks - catching up with it again, the action returns to 18th century Scotland and, I'd argue picks up as a result.
Mr Robot s3 (Prime)
The first rule of Hack Club, is you do not talk about Hack Club. The second, is probably something about very dark frames. I like this series a lot, but the murkiness of most of the shots, and the denseness of the dialogue make it difficult to binge - I'm still only one episode in!
Detectorists S3 (iPlayer)
A setting up episode, more or less, reintroducing us to the characters and outlining their challenges for the series. Still funny, gentle and in some indefinable way, very British.
Creeped Out! (iPlayer)
I wrote about this in the thread already - suffice to say that it's a decent twist in the tale horror anthology, made for Children's BBC. No gore, and the ideas stand or fall according to the concepts the writers have dreamt up. very good so far.

Yes, Detectorists was brilliant. I like off-beat humour like that and also really enjoyed Our Country which, with very different subject matter, was in the same vein of homour.

Just caught up with Traffic Cops on My5 - is it just me, or is Jamie Theakston morphing into Alan Partridge? I keep expecting him to finish his ever so serious bits to camera with "Crash, Bang, Wallop!"

'Worlds Greatest Bridges' last night, after work
It was the Brooklyn Bridge programme
I knew a lot of the story before, of the Roeblings

Sleep got the better of me last night so I have only been up about 10 minutes, catching up on some news.

Season 2 coming soon.
I’ve watched the first two episodes and thoroughly enjoyed both. Bernthal does a great job showing the internal war within Frank Castle.
