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.

Blimey, I’d forgotten just how good this was, S1 I’m giving 9/10

Watched a couple of episodes, nothing of note happened so have binned this as too slow.

Then tried ‘The Expanse’, but was too cheesy to stick with

Next I’m trying ‘Future Man’…

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.

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.

Will still watch it though!

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.

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

Very glad we rewatched the lot, first class tv, we were fully engrossed in the multiple overlapping storylines….I’m going 10/10 for the set Image

Steve Coogan was very good, but was not keen on the last episode !
