Just watched first three series of Line of Duty, and start series four tomorrow. Ordered first five series of Homeland on Amazon so should have plenty to watch over the next couple of weeks.
betamax or VHS?

Sunderland till I die. What wonderful tv. Like watching a 9 month car crash.

The Test on Amazon prime. Follows the Australian cricket team after the sandpaper incident up to the end of the Ashes last year. Really enjoyed it

The first series of that was awesome, I've just noticed they've done a series 2. Adding that to my list!
The Tunnel on Sky Atlantic. 4 episodes in and very good so far.

Unusually, for us, we've found something we can watch together... Watched first two series of Homeland and started the third...

Stated watching The Accident which was a Channel 4 things on recently. Cracking cast but you do spend the first 20 minutes going, that's Terry from the Thick of It, that's Pete from Gavin and Stacey, that's the PM from Borgen, that's the police chief and fancy man from Keeping Faith. And once I'd got over all that it was again too depressing for me in current times. Last 2 series I've watched (Deadwater Fell was the other one) have involved dead kids, this one had domestic violence thrown in for good measure. Laugh a minute.......
Also started watching the BBC Dracula thing that was on over Christmas. Trouble is, if you've watched 'What we do in the shadows' which is an superb vampire comedy film and TV series, you can't take people doing fake Transylvanian accents seriously. So after 10 minutes of me laughing the wife switched it off and said she'd watch it without me at a later date. I'm hoping for better luck tonight.

Didn't even bother taping it after the last series, as whilst I acknowledge the quality of cast and acting, it was just too bleak. I'm assuming series 2 hasn't turned into a fun fest.
The first two episodes of Dracula were excellent, the third was a huge letdown. Watch the first two, don't bother with the last and make up your own ending. I guarantee it will be better than the actual episode.

We finished The Stranger last night, ah well.
Continuing with The War of the Worlds - even after the 'siblingial' twist that HG Well hadn't considered and that has left me wondering why?
And we are a few eps through The Nest OK I suppose

Was it just me or was the climax really quite poor in contrast with the previous episodes building up to the event.
No, not just you.
Tieing up a series seems to be the hardest thing. Quite often I really enjoy a show right up until the last 30 minutes / full episode. Writers can pull you along but the real art, so it seems, is bringing it all together in a really satisfying way. It seems to have happened quite often with a number of recent shows.
