We liked that to begin with but it seems to be about 2 episodes too long.

Not sure if you mean that specifically as the story does (sort of) end with 2 episodes to go. That is, one knows the outcome. Those last 2 episodes fill it some useful, and much needed, info - not that they answer all questions. It's one of those programs where it's best not to think too much about it - as it'll do your head in! You've got to just 'let it lie'

The Gone... an Irish cop goes to NZ to investigate the disappearance of two Irish tourists.

Thanks for the pointer. I started with this one last night. It's okay, watchable certainly, though some of the plot and motivation has me thinking 'um, why??' Usually it's a bit of a death knell when I start thinking like that but we'll see. I'm content to look at the landscape, wooden houses and verandas.... all very nostalgic for me.

Bodies, on the other hand, is a decent not to mention mind bending watch.

We enjoyed it on balance, but it did get very silly and a bit cliched in the end. Worth it for the journey and acting though, even if ultimately none of the conspiracy plot made any sense at all

On Netflix, Unknown, Cave of Bones.
The discovery of the Homo Naledi, humanoid bones deep deep in caves in South Africa. Seemingly inconceivable the lengths they went to 250,000 years ago to bury their dead.
Really quite good
 

I remember reading about this years ago

Weird thoough it may sound- there is a trade newspaper for IT professionals - i.e. programmers, system analysts and the like not just "a bloke who knows about computers - called Computer Weelkly
I used to get it for free as a professional programmer
They got several awards for investigative journalism - beating big Nationals such as the Telegraph or Daily Mail
One was this Post Office stuff

I read articles about it for several weeks running - being mostly for IT people it went into details about what happened and what the tried to get away with

This stated the whole scandal off - but it was several years before it all came out and the company was forced to admit that it knew about the faults all along and just let the victims lives be destroyed rather than have the company profits and share price be affacted

Personally I think some of them should be tried for manslaughter and chucked in jail

anyway - I would think it is worth listening to!

Yes we watched 1st episode last night. Very good, quite a quirky style, like a mix of Tarantino and Fargo.

Also enjoying Three Little Birds on ITV X

As a Software Engineer myself, that's exactly where I remember reading about the scandal first. :okay:
