Ok I'm obviously pretty dim, but last episode of Bodyguard. Poooooo stinky.
:::
What the fuck? Of course the Arab is the baddie and masterminded a shitload of complicated stuff from in the slammer.
Oh the boss of the bodyguard meekly gives up and confesses all, while having no motive for either fucking everyone over nor confessing? Riiiight.
Confusing as fuck and all over the show.

That aside, excellent series

@mikethesnow yeah it was brilliant, real let down in the final episode, edge of your seat stuff.

Bodyguard has smashes rating record for the last decade for a drama on UK TV.
I thought it was a wonderfully old-fashioned thriller in the style of Hitchcock or Agatha Christie where suspence came first and slick presentation next. Too many dramas in recent years have focused too much on the motives of the villains and been bloody boring.

I have the finale of Bodyguard to go...up until now has been very good
-
I know @jegga is a big fan of Strikeback, but I gotta say S6 is a bit pants with even more unbelievable storylines and narrow escapes (in one ep, while in the Middle East, one of the agents calls on a Warlord who he had previously crossed, to honour thier cultural 'guest rites' and give them a safe place to stay over night after a shootout, in another, they survive a bunker buster missle while only 50m outside the bunker)
The 2 main characters (Scott & Stonebridge) are replaced by a new team, and most of this series has a cartoonish feel to it.
First couple of eps are your usual sex scenes, may be another 1 or 2, but not 1 per ep.
2 of the females in the team are worth watching it for, but overall is down on prior series until final 2 eps when Scott & Stonebridge make an appearance and it made for a better show.
-
Finished Bodyguard, I thought final ep was good enough, overall very good series.
It seems many TV series really struggle with a season finale, but I was happy enough with that one.

Season 2 of American Vandal done

-

Just started "Maniac", a medical trials thing (close to my heart, hello Glaxo!) and see now it hasnt been renewed for a second season. Bummer as it looks to be very well done. The Fukunaga guy from True Detective S1. Lead chick is an intensely horrid spoilt shit of a woman who I hope gets killed off quickly but I know she won't. Lead guy is fat guts Jonah Hill who must've shat out a tapeworm to get that skinny.
Really enjoyed it. Didn't 'get' it. Will wait for the discussion.

Upstart Crow. brit comedy written by Ben Elton with David Mitchell as Shakespeare before he got famous. Shades of Elton's form in Blackadder, the writing is so good. Shakesy does the doth thou shit then switches to lines like "I'm not going bald. I've just got a big brain."
Holy shit. Huge fan of both Elton and Mitchell, will have to check this out
