Will have to give treadstone a go. Watching The Fix at the moment, decent enough US legal drama.

Next weekend will be spent binge watching Picard if it is released in one go

There is never any real evidence, it is nearly always circumstantial.

I think you are looking too deeply into this programme. It is light fluff in the depths of winter over here. Show it in April and people would slaughter it but in January we just want to see somewhere with sun and warmth. I agree the joke PC is plain annoying but I can nearly forgive them that mistake due to the introduction of the new detective ?.
The best acting is done by the lizard, and he is 100% CGI.

Exposed: The churches dark secret
Just watched both parts of this. Extremely disturbing about the whole cover up of abuse by Peter Ball. The hierarchy in the Church were so intent on keeping the image of the Church clean that they had no concern for the people who had been abused. And the fact that this monster was protected by not only the Church but also by others high up. This is not a reflection on the Church of England as I know similar things have happened in other religions (and, sadly, are probably still happening). As is often in the case in these situations, the victims are made to feel like they're in the wrong.
You have to have nothing but admiration for those who were interviewed on the programme and those who stood up to declare what was going on. A pity nobody did anything about it.

Totally agree.
What gets me is the lies told from people who are in a position of trust and the fact that the cover up goes right to the top.
Robster, have you seen Spotlight or the Murder of Sister Catherine Cesnik?

As suggested by the post by F&D on the Films thread, we watched the first episode of The Outsider (Sky Atlantic) last night. Wooo. Now that was very good - and we are ensnared. Stephen King...what do you have in store for us...!


Enjoying this so far, only annoying thing is struggling to see proper due to being shot a lot in the dark.

We plan to watch The Outsider, but we're waiting until all episodes are complete so we can binge watch. We enjoyed Messiah too. I hate it will be at least a year before season 2, if they have one.

Isn’t that the whole point of acting?

And have you heard Stephen Graham’s accent?
His accent is distracting, Mark Addy is going in and out as well. Both of those are really good actors, I like watching them, but they don't need to put on the accent of the person they are portraying. It adds nothing and usually detracts, as it is here.

Don't even get me started on Vera ??.

I'm on episode 3 of Messiah, enjoying it at the moment.

I've seen spotlight but not the other one. I'll have a look for it. What angers me as well is that none of those people who were part of the cover up were punished.
