The Firefighter programme ought to be very interesting, as his brother is (was?) a retained ‘ff’

Always meant to watch that but it goes back 20 years or something. Is there a good season to start at as a beginner, or would I need to watch from S1E1?

Similar thing here we only started watching this last series.
I suppose start at series 1 but I guess you could start anywhere as not sure if the series have a continuing story line or not?
 
Virdee

Detective series set in Bradford, mixing in some Hindu/Muslim conflict with a mixed marriage. Only watched the first episode so far but enjoying it.

Bradford Interchange Railway Station seems to have grown a through line and a tunnel though lol 😁

Spare yourself.
It's a pit of self indulgent tosh.

They are techies, anoraks and sensibly kept in the background.
There's a reason for that! They are total analists, and deserve to be in the beige uplands of non ness

Finished Virdee tonight, really good. Has some well thought twists/plot points (better than some attempts at subterfuge I've seen in recent cop dramas). It's all based on a book series I'll be getting now and hopefully they'll adapt some more.

What you shouldn't watch is Departure on Netflix.

Plane disappears from radar from JFK to Heathrow. They don't quite know what happened apart from one girl got sucked out at 30,000 feet and fell into the ocean to be recovered by search vessels - in her dinghy.

Only watched the other 5 episodes for an answer on how that would be possible and they just ignored the situation. Absolute bobbins.

Don't fall for it !

SWMBO just binge-watched series 1. We were hooked.
Spoiler alert
A few things -
- we assumed that the plane had descended to a much lower altitude before the girl fell out the plane
- the hole in the side of the plane was never explained
- we did not believe that a submersible would have no alarms going off as it approached its critical depth
- the geography of London is all over the place - they seem to be able to get to an inner city hospital and back to a remote location instantly
- Archie Panjabi has numerous inexplicable wardrobe and hairstyle changes between scenes

But on the whole, if you suspend disbelief, it’s gripping (or we thought so).

Thank you
Another excuse for not having Netflix.
