Just finished a trio of British crime dramas

Irvine Welsh's Crime Seasons 1&2
Set in Edinburgh and stars Dougray Scott as a detective who is hunting a notorious serial killer while dealing with all sorts of personal issues. It seems this was envisaged just to be 12 episodes which is a shame if the case. Dark, brutal and brilliant. 9.5/10

After The Flood Season 1
If you are prepared to ignore just how silly some of the scenes are (one with a baby especially) then this is very entertaining stuff. Stars Philip Glenister (Life On Mars) and Sophie Rundle (Peaky Blinders) 8/10

Trigger Point Season 2
Bomb disposal drama from the producers of Line Of Duty. I liked this better than Season 1 although it's still stretching credability to breaking point at times and the last of the 6 episodes seemed very far fetched. That said still very enjoyable. Stars Vicki McClure (Line Of Duty) 7/10

We finished The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon tonight (only 6 episodes). You know what, I'd pretty much given up expecting anything decent from The Walking Dead anymore (TWD, FTWD etc.). But this series actually had a lot going for it. It's the first time since maybe the first 2 or 3 series of TWD that I actually felt some suspense and scares from the zombies. In this they seem different and the setting in France certainly adds another dimension. I think there is another series too, so hopefully this level can be maintained. Unfortunately, from what I've read, The Walking Dead: Dead City (Negan and Maggie) isn't as good, but we'll see.

^ Good news - I've purposefully not read much about it. 

I was getting zombie withdrawal symptoms so started on The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon last night. It has a really different feel to other TWD series and a European setting adds to that; though it's not been shared yet how on earth he ended up washed ashore in France.

apparently you won't have to wait too long for True Detective as it's season finale is on Sunday.

Fool Me Once.
British series on Netflix. Murders, cops, bribery, cover-ups, etc.
Really good. Good story, great actors, very well done and all that.

The Killing Season 2. Finishes off the story that started in Season 1. Great stuff. I love all the layers and twists.

Just through the first 5 episodes of Halo Season 1. Defintitely a case of 'don't listen to the naysayers', this is top notch sc-fi. Looks great and I'm well invested in the story and the characters.

Watched the currently available episodes of True Detective starring Jode Foster. This doesn't seem like anything before in the series relating more to the 2015 Sky series Fortitude than a detective drama (the connection is further reinforced by the fact that Fortitude starred Christpoher Ecclestone and he pops up in this as well!). There is even a homage or 2 to John Carpenters The Thing and Japananse horror like The Grudge.  Weird and all over the place, no idea where it's going but it's HBO so it's a must watch!

^ Aparently it was intended to be partly a serious legal drama, but the writers couldn't work out how to do that so it became about female empowerment instead. Personally I rated it about 4/10, massive missed opportunity. The lead is good and the special effects very good but typically Disney shallow rubbish writing as well as 'throwing away' some great actors such as Mark Ruffalo and Tim Roth was disappointing to me. Glad you liked it though Wink

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law I've had this to watch for ages now but with not much else to watch I fancied, I eventually gave this a shot, with not much hope of it being any good tbh. You know what though it's actually OK. These things are always better when the main focus is humour (see Deadpool, Peacemaker, Loki) and this has lots of funny moments. Each ep is its own story too and relatively short at 30 minutes or so. The reviews are poor but it's miles better than some other recent super hero stuff (see Aquaman) 8/10

Percy Jackson and the Olympians

As a HUGE fan of the books, this show was a bit disappointing, but still really good. 7.5/10

Caught the first few of Special Ops:Lioness based on the female U.S. soldiers placed with regular troops in Iraq who ended up in combat & intelligence roles.   Nothing wrong with this well-made and suspenseful action drama but in recreating the cold brutality of the Iraq war and dehumanizing of the characters, it left me wanting less.

Binged the entire first season of The Killing (13 episodes) in 2 days. Might be the most addictive crime drama I've ever watched. This is set in Seattle and is based on a Danish TV series of the same name when 'Scandi Noir' was all the rage. This has tons of depth in the writing and doesn't just focus on solving the crime but takes a good look at how the loss of a loved one impacts a family and the grieving process they inevitably go through. Decisions are then made as a result that can't be taken back. I particularly like Joel Kinnerman's rough round the edges cop along with the always excellent Billy Campbell as a politician who is running for office but then becomes implicated in the murder that is under investigation. Onward to seasons 2-4.

I wonder if anyone watches Wynonna Earp? It's a fun fantasy/sc-fi series that has now got to 4 seasons. I've just picked it up again after a long break. Something different from all the 'heavy' stuff!

We've just finished the last series of Fear the Walking Dead. Man it was bad - but that's it for now (until we start on all the other WD spin offs), I need a break from zombies.

I'm in - the final season (8) of Fear the Walking Dead. It really is dire now, but I feel obliged to see it to a conclusion. I think the producers just wanted it done too. Only 12 eps though, thank God.

I recently finished The Fall of the House of Usher and The Haunting of Hill House.
Both were really good, but I found Hill House to go on for a little bit too long. Still, really good.
And I finished The Haunting of Bly Manor. Which, also, was really good. Even though, just like Hill House, Bly Manor went for a little bit too long.
