^ yep , if you like that then check out Ghost: Powerbook II. Very enjoyable if not quite as 'serious'.
Top of the Lake was mentioned. Season One featured the great Scottish actor Peter Mullan who was also very impressive in Ozark . He makes everything he's in better!

Season one of The Godfather of Harlem. Excellent series, a sort of combination of Boardwalk Empire, The Godfather and Black Caesar.

DCs Doom Patrol second time binged, a brillian and one of a kind tv show.
DCs Swamp Thing season 1. One of the best superhero shows out there. Edited by Icarium - January 15 2021 at 08:50 |

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.

Tonight's pleasure...DES David Tenant absolutely nails 80's Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen. Three 45 min. episodes for a tight little mini series. Great Brit Drama.

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. |

Watched first season of Truth Seekers on Amazon Prime. Good to see Nick Frost and Simon Pegg together again. At 20-30 minute episodes, it makes for a quick watch.

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