we saw the last episode (of 10) of "Kommissarin Heller". Winnie Heller is, or rather was, a female cop in her mid-thirties. she was highly eccentric, gruff to everyone and an extremely tough cop. she even spent some time in a psychiatric ward in one episode, and rightfully so; she clearly was off the trail in that one. all episodes were about 90 minutes long.

in her last case she had to deal with underage prostitution. young men befriending underage girls and then telling them some cock-and-bull story about owing money to someone and asking them to do "a favor" for them. and she got the top criminals in this case too but then was, most unusually, killed by a flash of lightning. we will miss her; it was one of our favorite cop shows because of her uniqueness

Just finished The Serpent about the 1976 arrest of Charles Sobhraj. 8 one hour episodes and I watched all of them over 3 days . Not many famous actors. Tim Mcinnerny and Jenna Coleman were the only ones I recognised. Probably the most seriously addictive drama 'based on real events' since Chernobyl.

Not sure in the end how I felt about it. The inclusion of Malcom McDowell in the cast is massive for me but somehow the whole thing lacked wit and punch. No bad but I'm not really that desperate for a second season.

Pennyworth has just started back up. I've got 3 in the queue. We try not to watch a series till we have a full season for the most part. Once we're invested...we want the whole enchilada.

Me too.   Good stuff, sort of Mad Men meets Game of Thrones but not really.

Same here. Binged it last week. I enjoyed it.

^ other way round in less you are literally comparing the respective fortunes then I'm not sure Smile

Just finished The Act on Starzplay. Great acting from Joey King and Patricia Arquette but a damp squib ending unfortunately hampered by being based on 'true events'. Worth a watch though if you are fed up with the 'same old same old'.

Just finished season 1 of Succession.  Maybe a poor man's Billions.
Brian Cox shines as the patriarch of a family owned world wide media company.
Yes, there are all kinds of comparisons to be made with family Trump but this is not a clone or put up on their life. Rather, a glimpse into a world of backstabbing and power playing as son seeks father's throne. We start season 2 tonight.

I'm glad to see other Zoo "watchers" here....it's a bit complex at times, but the storyline keeps you stuck in your seat !!!

I keep getting nagged by my Brother In Law to watch this , but I'm not a Star Wars fan and don't want to re-watch a bunch of Marvel films so no point in subscribing to Disney + as far as I'm concerned.

My favourite subscription service is Starzplay at the moment. Enjoying the following especially:
Godfather Of Harlem
Ghost: Powerbook II
Veronica Mars Season 4
The Act
Perpetual Grace Ltd

^Not sure about the deep fake scene towards the end of the final episode (no spoiler) but I'm hoping it picks up a little in the next season. It definitely appears to be written for a younger audience.

Just finished first season of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. A departure from the original Penny Dreadful series but still features Rory Kinnear. Set in late 1930's instead of late 1800's and the story revolves around the 'chicano' community in LA. Natalie Dormer plays multiple roles. I preferred the Victorian setting from the previous series but there are some highlights to be seen here.  The original was 3 seasons so I'll wait and see where it goes before declaring my love or disdain for it.
