Vigil had its first episode available to stream in Australia last night. This BBC 6 part mini series has only 6 episodes and after watching the first, I am now annoyed I will have to wait for the remaining 5. Believe writers from Line of Duty were involved (could be wrong, havent done any due diligience but seem to remember reading something like that), as well as starring martin compston.
A good start and very watchable. Spoilers from the first episode so wont say anything.
Think this would be best binged watched back to back from what I have seen so far..
You are getting it close behind release by the looks. The second ep has only just shown this morning (NZT) in the UK.
If the show is done to support watching as a serial it can be a good thing to have to wait. Mare of Easttown and Line of Duty always had episode endings that set you up for anticipation and that was a good thing.
We mentioned 'Deceit' above which was released week by week on TV in the UK and on streaming in NZ but the whole series was available on C4s platform from the start.I find that a bit weird tbh.

Episode 2 will be available here today and then its week to week..so we must be following the UK given what you have said.. given we havent had the final season of line of duty, I suspect programmers are admitting they may have f$$ked up underestimating the audience for this and jumped on what they hope will be the next thing.
Good start anyway

BTW it is a Jed Mercurio production so except a ridiculous 'twist'. As long a you go in with eyes open it won't be as disappointing.

I am ok with that even the series preview sets that up
-
@bayimports I saw that pop up yesterday, could be good.
Anyone looked at The Empire?
Has potential, Historical Fiction based on the books Empire of the Moghul by Alex Rutherford, that I have read a couple of (being slated on IMDB, although possibly more due to the historical aspect, although comments re poor SFX too)

Excellent start to Vigil
We had two episodes back to back here because it was a Bank Holiday weekend

I still find 'Bank Holiday' such an odd term. Like it's only the banks on holiday? Or you all get a holiday because the bank says so?

Initially it was just banks etc that closed back in the 1800s, the name stuck even when it started to apply more widely

@nevorian should still be on Amazon Prime, where I watched it last year

Confirmed by Justwatch. Prime is the place to stream, other avenues have the series to purchase.
@Nevorian justwatch.com is a useful site/app to track down shows. You can change your country as well to see if it is streaming elsewhere and use VPN

Another watching Vigil, I enjoy it, but I struggle to let go of the plausibility at times with many of these cop shows. But it is a well made, well acted mystery with twists and turns, very similar to line of duty. Have to say it was funny seeing Podrick from GOT playing the bad guy.

we started "ony murders in the building" on disney+ with Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez, its fun, generally getting pretty good reviews, not exactly high action but i want to know what happens
