"Trespasses Beast in Me Pluribus All very recent, all very good." I've been looking forward to Pluribus. I think I'll wait until all episodes have aired before I watch. | |||

"The absolute best thing i have ever seen and I've seen loads is Disclaimer. I'll watch that soon, there are some decent actors in it." The sex scenes are phenomenal but also integral to the fascinating story which is unlike anything I have seen before feel like I should buy the book and read it as well. | |||

"For All Mankind. It's an alternative history series starting in 1969 when the Russians landed on the moon first instead of the Americans." Thoroughly enjoyed that when I watched it earlier in the year. The Expanse was also fantastic | |||

"Currently midway through season 2 of The Sopranos" I've watched it 2 or 3 times. Considering it's 25 years old, it hasn't aged very much. | |||

"Just finished season 4 of Babylon Berlin. Fingers crossed the season 5 dvd is released soon " Good isn't it, did you spot Bryan Ferry making a cameo appearance performing in the cabaret club? Das Boot is another well-produced series from Sky Germany. | |||

"Decided to watch Shetland as a new series was starting and I had never seen it. Up to season 7 now and must admit I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Seems an awful lot of murders for such a little population " Bit like Midsomer - small closely knit community populated by homicidal maniacs. Fantastic clear-up rate, though: just as well the police force is on the ball. | |||

Line Of Duty ... "Jeezuz, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey!"
The Killing - the Swedish version, with Sarah Lund in the wooly pully.
Red Riding ... it was even grimmer oop north in the 70's
Engrenages - English title Spiral. French police drama series.
And dipping into some real nostalgia:
Inspector Morse.
Columbo. | |||

Columbo."I like the ones that actually have some accuracy, and Morse doesn't fall into that list. Focussing on detectives, NYPD Blue is one of the best ever. | |||

"Red Riding was fucking brilliant. Grim for sure but good grim, I really loved how they got the 70s atmosphere so right, you could feel and smell it " Previously unaware of this but I looked it up and will be watching soon. Right up my street, anyone growing up in the late '70s will know how much the Yorkshire Ripper story gripped the nation. | |||

"Red Riding was fucking brilliant. Grim for sure but good grim, I really loved how they got the 70s atmosphere so right, you could feel and smell it " It has parallels with another series that i will have to turf out of the stack to revisit: "Our Friends In The North". That one was far more based on real-life events, which i believe caused quite a bit of apprehension among BBC lawyers. Met Police corruption was in the news in the 70's, following the fallout from Operation Countryman and prosecutions of officers in the Obscene Publication squad. Both revealed collusion between criminals and corrupt police officers. Malcolm McDowell plays a memorable role as a menacing Soho club owner and porn king, alongside Daniel Craig as a naive youngster who gets drawn into his web, only to be discarded when he crosses him. | |||

"Just finished watching Say nothing, it was good, brought back memories of those times." Very good, I watched it earlier this year when it first came out. It really shines a light on Gerry Adams and his long-alleged involvement in terrorist activities. I wonder if he'll sue. | |||

GBH is excellent - Robert Lindsay as Michael Murray, corrupt Liverpool Council leader. i remember Derek Hatton whining "Everybody's saying it's me !!!"  | |||

"I've now watched the first two episodes of Red Riding and, to be honest, I'm finding it a little far fetched. " You probably won't like the appearance of the psychic woman who has visions, then
Yes, there is a certain degree of fantasy in it. But I would suggest that much of the police behaviour - including a brutal interrogation to force a confession from an innocent, vulnerable young man - are not far removed from reality.
