TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Stumbled across Inside No 9 last night. Not sure what it's all about but immediately reminded me of Tales of the Unexpected. Kind of funny and indeed an unexpected ending.

You'd love Mindhunter. Understanding the psyche of a serial killer, what makes them commit the crimes they do and how they justify it to themselves is basically the concept behind the show, it's based on a book detailing the criminal profiling of a series of serial killers completed by the FBI. It's fascinating viewing.

Thanks for the recommendation, will keep an eye out for it.

Is that the one where they go around teaching cops the mindset of serial killers?
Watched the first three or four a while ago and was very impressed, need to get back into it.

Yeah, so they go around interviewing serial killers to try and understand them and complete a study to see patterns in their behaviour, starting with Ed Kemper. It's so good.

Great programme, have watched most of these, the guys from League of Gentlemen certainly have cornered the market in Dark Humour

Got stuck into Mindhunter last week and god damn it's good. 8 episodes into Season 1 now and loved it. One of the best shows I've seen for a while, the portrayal of Ed Kemper is utterly fascinating, captured him so well.

Have you watched Unabomber yet Dan? It's a natural follow on from Mindhunter. They came out around the same time last year, unrelated other than the same network but the stories almost follow on. Unabomber is based on a true story of an FBI 'profiler' chasing a serial killer in the 90s

S2 of MH is on my list to get going in the next few weeks

I haven't, but someone at work recommended it to me today actually, so have heard very good things and it's next on my list to watch after Mindhunter

Top boy S3 starts this week on Netflix

Enjoying the return of Peaky Blinders but it's bordering on style over substance especially Polly's character, oh and the Scottish accents are terrible, why have actors who are not good enough to perform a decent accent when there are plenty of good Scottish actors

It changed in series three into a more American feel show, lots of slow walking through smoke with rock music in the background.

Couldn't get through the first episode of the latest series. Liked it up until this season, but switched it off and deleted from planner, not at all interested in carrying on with it.

Just started two different series, Copper (2012) on Amazon Prime, enjoyed the first episode and will continue. Then Russion Doll on Netflix, it's a take on Groundhog day, 3 episodes in and quite enjoying it.

Russian Doll was really enjoyable, quite short episodes at 30 mins each but a clever story.

Now on to another Netflix series from Australia - Wanted. First episode set up very well.

Unbelievable on Netflix, based on true events in the US were a serial rapist went undetected until 2 female detectives made a link. Brilliant TV.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Second episodes of A Confession and A Capture. Confession is bubbling away and keeping the interest going but a Capture is excellent so far - hope it doesn’t going a too overboard.

Great to see that the second series of Jack Ryan starts soon

Binge watched last 4 episodes after the Golf, just brilliant, long time since I found myself shouting at characters in a TV programme.

Well the attempts at a Brummie accent have been terrible right from the outset.

Finished season 1 (only 6 episodes), very good and enjoyable, Onto season 2 now, recommended.

I watched the full series of State of the Union, with Chris O'Dowd & Rosamund Pike, last night. Written by Nick Hornby & directed by Steven Frears.

Excellently acted and written.

It's only 10 minutes long, and features the two of them playing a married couple who are going through problems, and they are shown in the pub having a drink just before they go over the road to see their marriage counsellor.

Not a series but just watched Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii. Utterly outstanding in such haunting surroundings.
True genius at work, RIP Rick Wright.
