Crossing Lines 2 has come off the 'pay to watch' matrix, so that will get watched over the coming days also as I really enjoyed the first series.

That has gone on my 'record series'.

It gets so annoying when you watch a first series and it either switches to another provider or becomes pay to view for the subsequent series.
I have been lucky in that my son has Netflix and I usually do a catch up when staying with him for a few days.

What a difference from the first series but amazing TV, best thing I've watched in years.
Seen all series 2, a good watch again but slightly underwhelmed tbh, not so different to series one except more vulgar in places (the Brian hoarder guy and the shrink needlessly so imo) and lead character still stuck exactly where he was wallowing in videos and red wine. Less humourous than series 1, quite a bit darker too. Convincing portrayal of grief though.

Series one was the anger phase, series two was the depression phase. Depending how they want to use the curve, series three should be acceptance.

Almost finished "Ashes to Ashes" now on Netflix as well as iPlayer. Without giving the final plot away, there are things I have noticed watching this time round that I never saw before that give clues to the overall picture. I did figure it out before the very final episode first time round but there are definite hints right through the final series.

"OK come out with your hands up, you're surrounded by armed batsards" Gene Hunt, 1973 and 1982.

I watched the first episode in the middle of last night and was going to immediately watched the second but as it was 4am I thought it really was time I tried to sleep again as the pain killers had finally kicked in.

I love this sort of of what? Sci fi conspiracy thriller.
We finished DEVS this evening. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Really thought provoking...

I suggest not trying to understand it too deeply but just enjoy the basic plot, sets, special effects and soundtrack. And some of the aerial views of San Francisco are stunning...

Bosch finished, Looming Tower finished, which left me hanging a little, back to Blacklist now as there’s been about 3 added, still on the hunt for some new material.

Van der Valk - remake with Marc Warren.
enjoyable so far
I've not been to Amsterdam but it made it look lovely. The cynic in me thinks they only actually ran around the same 3 streets all episode as they were beautiful and so typical of the pictures you always see of the city, but i could be wrong. Some of the acting was a bit stodgy, it ground along but I'm happy to have a traditional Sunday night, 2hr detective show on again.

One big plus, the British actors didn't bother trying to do dodgy Dutch accents ?. We didn't need them, we didn't need to be distracted by them. Other shows please learn a lesson.
