I stuck with it as the story line was interesting but boy did the wife and daughters drive me mad...those voices!

Thought Cheat was decent,but ending was a bit poor.
Decent ending to Shetland. A couple of twists I didn't see coming and one I expected but thankfully didn't happen. It's become a really strong show for the BBC. It doesn't make me want to go there though, blimey it looks bleak.

Yeah, was a good final episode. Dougie Henshall plays the part of the grizzled copper rather well!

Cleaning Up was awful all round. Dreadful TV.

Binge watched Afterlife on the Friday it came out.. Absolutely genius writing (although if you follow RG on Twitter then you'll recognise most of the themes/lines). It's up there with "Derek" as his best work.
Umbrella Academy was a great watch. A little bit different from the usual Superhero fare.
Shetland was average at best. Poor direction and about 2 hours too long.
On a positive note, I've managed to stop the better half from watching Designated Survivor, meaning that I don't have to watch some of the worst TV made!!!

Watched 3 episodes of Afterlife back to back last night - very unusual for me to "binge" watch anything but it was so funny yet moving and poignant. The ending of the episode we finished on though (druggy pal taking an OD) was a bit too much sadness.
Designated Survivor - 4 episodes in and can't decide. I so wish whatshisname from 24 would talk properly and not whisper everything. Will stick with it for now...

DS is well made/produced. It's glossy and shiny. However, the acting is average and the dialogue is sub-Sorkin. It so wants to be a sharp, strong pointer to the Hollywood version of New America. But Sutherland is a personality vacuum. All the main characters are under 30 and it twists the story violently just to get it finished in under an hour.. It's also so far removed from the actual New America that it might as well be made by Disney! Other than that it was alright
Oh, and the Druggy Pal character in Afterlife is pure genius. He puts the RG character right in his place when he tells him that at least he gets all the sympathy about his wife dying.. I loved that plot (and I cried at it as well.)

Afterlife is tv at its very best. It appears to be much less polarising than Gervais' previous shows. An uncomfortable subject matter which is addressed with equal amounts of poignancy and humour. The soundtrack is equally as brilliant. I really enjoyed it, as did my Mrs who usually doesn't 'get' Gervais.
I've been enjoying Sons of Anarchy, which is somehow missed previously. Although now on season 7 it's becoming a bit of a slog.
Just gearing up for Line of Duty starting, one of my favourites.

Watched the 2 part documentary James May did on Hornby. And it was charming. I've never been into Airfix or model trains but it was a funny and affectionate look into that world. Well worth a watch.

Who tipped the traffickers off though with the text to tell them it was a set up?

Exactly. That wound me right up. It was a convoluted plot device to set up suspicion of the girlfriend that they forgot to tie up!!!!!

I enjoyed watching this also...
Found it easy to identify myself with the older gentlemen working at the visitor centre...
I'll PM you both. Don't want to spoil it for others

Agree with you - We binge watched Afterlife too.
Brilliant 6 part series.
I'm not usually that big a fan of Gervais, but he was excellent. Funny, poignant, sad, compulsive viewing. Highly recommended.
