What TV are you watching?

Call the midwife and Trigger point were both good tonight and I think they were both last of current series

I’ll need to watch them on catch up this evening as I was watching the athletics.

The Bain Family Murders. Channel 4

Although I found the pace a little slow, in hindsight I appreciate the time taken to show in detail this very strange family and how difficult it must have been to try and work out what has happened. If you don't know the case then don't look it up but its the tale of how a family of 5 was murdered in their home with only the eldest son suriving. It happened in New Zealand in 1994 and is a very famous case over there though I'd never heard of it.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Shogun last night on Disney+. Not really grabbed us yet.

I recently happened across an 80s drama called The Franchise Affair... set in post war Britain, a woman and her mother are accused of kidnapping and beating a 15 year old. The final episode of that had all the twists and turns of a truly great drama. Faultless, in my book.

Presumably a dramatisation of the novel by Josephine Tey.

Just finished The Long Shadow on Itvx - good drama and you'd like to think that a Yorkshire Ripper style killer wouldn't last 5 years now - but then you see the mistakes that let the killer of Sarah Everard loose in the police for years...

Box 21 ...a very grim yet gripping Scandinavian crime drama. Unpredictable, to say the least.

I've watched The Wire so many times I know it word for word ! Daughter hasn't watched it yet so could be another reason to binge it again.😁

Shiiiiiiiiiiiit. S2 or S4 is my favourite, 2 might edge it I think.

That could be a whole thread discussion....it's a tough choice.I think season 4 is generally regarded/voted as the best.But for me season 1 takes it.Im not sure I've ever seen such a perfect opening season !
If I think of the Wire I think of this, probably my favourite scene out of the whole series😍

Flipping around the channels & I saw a familiar looking faceDiagnosis Murder, with a (pre 'Star-Trek : Voyager') Jeri Ryan, in a main role

Whilst having a quick look to find it on YouTube, I did see Marina Surtis (Deanna Troi, in Star-Trek : The NextGeneration) listed for a different episode

Just watched Blue Lights after seeing it recommended on this thread (thanks). We enjoyed it and await Season 2.

I’m thinking about watching it but I really struggled with the book

I read the book when I was a teenager and enjoyed it as I recall. We've stopped watching it at the moment though.
