Just stumbled upon what looks like a cool series on Sky Cricket (UK) called Mind Games. "A compelling exploration of the mental side of cricket, covering aspects such as confidence, self belief and mental strength."

Looks to feature loads of players.

Expect better from BBC.

I don't.

In the last few years and much of the stuff they churn out is rubbish considering their guaranteed mega-budget. Perhaps that's the cause.

Poldark sucks arse (well the last 2 seasons anyway)

Next season: "Ross Poldark discovers a strange Martian cylinder in Wheal Leisure....."

@Victor-Meldrew while he and George Warleggans argue over ownership of said Martian cylinder, and Ross's pigheadedness ensures they can give whatever the current storyline is, more legs!

Ah ok, ordinarily I think BBC stuff is well done, but then I havent watched as much over the past few years.

Can't think of much "must watch" BBC stuff in the last few years TBH. Nothing edgy, just safe costume dramas - nothing like Luther or The Hour.

@Victor-Meldrew line of duty? Dublin Murders is decent so far. The Capture was decent.

[Victor Meldrew]

@Bones

They are OK but pretty formulaic. Nothing edgy or fresh like Stranger Things or Breaking Bad. which they used to do a few years back.

Dublin Murders

watched 1st ep of that last night, looked good enough to proceed

[Mokey]

Watched S2 of The Hookup Plan. Complete garbage. Definitely one of those shows that needed only one season.

[scribe]

2nd episode of Dublin Murders reinforces it. Have also just started watching BBC’s Giri/Haji - Yakuza drama set in London/Japan. Pretty good so far.

[Toddy]

Anyone watch the first episode of The War of the Worlds?

After watching El Camino, I'm working my way through S4 of Better Call Saul.

[taniwharugby]

@Toddy see a few posts above

Watched The Detour episode last night where they went to the Destiny like church, gold!

[Toddy]

True! Cheers.

Hopefully BBC do a better job on His Dark Materials which is released early November. I think it's a joint effort with HBO.

Also watching Dublin Murders... Enjoying so far, has a bit of a broadchurch feel.

Living with yourself. (Netflix) Paul Rudd, some funny moments, quirky little series!

[Crucial]

Finished Goliath S3. Quality show even if this one started to get a bit out there and was verging at times of being like True Detective S2. Luckily the acting chops in Goliath were able to carry it off way better than Vince Vaughn could ever dream off.
Seriously the cast was ensemble quality. Not often you will see a TV show with the likes of Billy-Bob Thornton, William Hurt, Dennis Quaid and Beau Bridges all at their best

[taniwharugby]

came across a series called Treadstone, which is based on the super secret project that created Jason Bourne.

Watched ep 1 last night, looks like it'll be ok, nothing special, but then I am sucker for the genre so, theres that.

[Bovidae]

Watchmen

I've never read the graphic novel so my only reference of this world is the movie. A promising start to the series with an unexpected ending in the first episode. A cool score by Trent Reznor.

Who Killed Garrett Phillips

The documentary examines and chronicles the years following the 2011 murder of 12-year-old Garrett Phillips and the subsequent trial of Clarkson University soccer coach Oral "Nick" Hillary.

Really good (and also infuriating) a bit in the mould of Making a Murderer.

Really Oral? No wonder he wanted to be known as Nick
