TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Great show. Tom Davis was very good in it. Depends a lot on the guest. I really enjoyed the episodes with Dermot O’Leary, Chris Kamara and the guy from Made in Chelsea.
Yeah - episode one was the Made In Chelsea guy and it was funnier purely because he couldn't keep a straight face. I think the less professional the guest is, and the more the break character and laugh through the scenes, the more funny it is really. It's just infectious.
 
Great series. Having worked in pharma it makes me feel glad we have the systems we have in place in UK and Europe.
I really like the way they intertwine the pharma/regulatory story with the real life example. Very clever

The series was very accurate to real life as well, judging from the Wikipedia pages on the topic. Showed just how corrupt the US legal system is, with them basically paying everyone off, plus getting things approved by the FDA by offering people jobs!
 
We just watched THE DEFEATED. It's eight episodes on Netflix. It's a drama set in post WWII Berlin. An NYC police detective is sent there to help the Germans rebuild their police force in the American sector. Pretty grim and sad, but I'm guessing it accurately reflects how things were back then.
 
On BBC4 - Sunset Song (1971).

I would rate the Lewis Grassic Gibbon book (the first of his A Scots Quair trilogy) as probably my all-time favourite book. This will be the first time I have watched the BBC series since it was first shown way back then, and I watched with my parents.

Despite many readings I still well up as I read the closing chapter as we read of the Mearns community remembrance of their menfolk lost in the war - I read it every year on Remembrance Sunday.
 
The Rings of Power, Episodes 1 & 2.
Excellent so far, think it could be one of them were you are better watching close together with so much going on.
Time will tell.
 
Just finished The Sandman and really enjoyed it. Episode 6 is just one of those episodes that will stay in the mind long after it has ended.
