Re: Great TV Series
Yes, its quite good just got ep.6 to finish [IMDB 7.1] Emma Thompson is great. although this was another touted as Slow Horses - esque, but for me its more Utopia - esque [2103] especially with Adeel Akhtar being typecast in his usual role.

Then tried ‘The Expanse’, but was too cheesy to stick with
Next I’m trying ‘Future Man’…

Re: Great TV Series
For anyone with Netflix, and an interest in true crime, I heartily reccommend the Crime Scene documentary series': The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, The Night Stalker and The Times Square Killer.

The Death of Bunny Munro [IMDB 6.7] Written by Nick Cave and produced by the makers of Baby Reindeer.
2nd episode in it's very good.

Re: Great TV Series
Enjoyed the book (and audio book with NC soundtrack) but can't really see Matt Smith in the role. Too good looking and 'cool' however he slums it down.Stena Bib wrote:The Death of Bunny Munro [IMDB 6.7] Written by Nick Cave and produced by the makers of Baby Reindeer.

Will still watch it though!

Re: Great TV Series
On Pluribus which is great btw another Vince Gilligan quality series it got me thinking I wonder if they’re doing the podcasts like BB/BCS and sure enough they are. Just started E1.

Re: Great TV Series
I presume you don’t mean Vince Gilligan, as Hove Albion’s a fair way from Albuquerque…

Legends [2026] IMDB 7.9
Steve Coogan was very good, but was not keen on the last episode !
