The Cleaner:

Is this series very much sub-par? Or just us ...

(this week's was just a series of "Oh, he's going to spray that all over himself, just before that woman walks in, creating hilarious misunderstandings!" <repeat> )
Sticking with it. For now ...

I agree, this series of the Cleaner isn't as good as the previous series.
Just finished watching the ITV drama Until I Kill You.
Thought it was fantastic in a hard watch kind of way ! Fantastic acting by Anna Maxwell Martin who I love.Based on a true story which made it all the more harrowing to watch.

I've got the last episode of Until I kill you to watch.
Pretty good for ITV.
Shetland was also good.

Yeah yeah, harrowing, acting, blah blah ....

WHAT BRAND OF BIKE DOES SHE RIDE? I CAN'T SEE THE LOGOS! DO WE NEED A BIGGER TELLY?!?

I was trying to see the make, and at one point I thought I saw Raleigh on one of the down tubes. It was a mixte frame.

Too much time on your hands if you're trying to spot the make of bike...in fact when she was trying to escape and taking the bike I was thinking leave it ffs....just run.
Could of had a clicky hub and woke him !

We've just finished the first series of "Supacell" on Netflix. Set in South London, it features a number of people who discover they have various special powers; the individuals being variously low level gangsters, a delivery driver, a nurse and so on and in the background a dodgy and ruthless secret spy organisation trying to get control of them. Granted this has been done before (many times) but this one is particularly well done with great script and naturalistic acting which helps suspend disbelief at the ridiculous premise. Couple of appealing things - mostly black cast, but this is for a genuine plot reason which emerges, and I liked they way some of them had decided Jamaican accents so a white boy like me had to concentrate.

Only a few mis-steps which didn't really matter at the end of the day, was how a delivery man and his social worker fiancee have a brand new Beemer and what seems like a £10M flat overlooking the Thames and likewise the unfeasible prosperity of you people doing ordinary jobs in London. Fair enough if she'd been a "quant" in the City or whatever but not a van driver and social worker. Similarly the spy headquarters and their behaviour was very corny though redeemed somewhat by the always excellent Eddie Marsden as one of their chiefs.

Anyhow we enjoyed it a lot, and we are looking forward to season 2 in due course.

That sounds like a rehash of the excellent C4 series 'Misfits' thought that was a more teenage/YA audience. I'll have to give this a go :okay:

Oh I didn’t realise Hope Street was available yet. Is this the second series? I watched the first and enjoyed it.

Watched the final two episodes of Mr Loverman. I hadn't read the book and so wasn't sure how it would end although a lot of it was predictable. It was interesting to see how some the character's relationships ended up, and how much we 'agreed' or not with their points of view.
