    anyone else watched Carnivale (from early 2000's)

    set in the US during the depression of a travelling carnival, but with a fantasy element to it as well.

    Interesting series.

    Carnivàle (TV Series 2003–2005) ⭐ 8.4 | Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

    Carnivàle (TV Series 2003–2005) ⭐ 8.4 | Drama, Fantasy, Mystery

    1h | TV-MA

    Also been watching Raised by Wolves (UK version) which is a comedy about a single mother in Wolverhampton and her 6 homeschooled kids with some funny and cringey stuff (not least the kids names :Germaine, Aretha, Yoko, Wyatt, Maria & Cher)

    Yeah - Carnivale was fucking good... except that it got cancelled, and therefore... just... stopped - with zero answers/explanations provided.
    So -yeah... sorry, spoiler, but don't expect an ending.

    Yeah - looked it up... they were spending $2 million per episode !?
    I now kinda understand why it got canned.
    But still - would have really liked to see where they went with it.
    I think it got cancelled around the same time as Deadwood ? - and I was spitting about both.
    Which reminds me - I don't think I ever got around to watching the Deadwood movie.

    In Limbo: Created by Lucas Taylor. With Ryan Corr, Bob Morley, Emma Harvie, Russell Dykstra. It follows Charlie and Nate as they face how hard it is to let go of those they love, especially when they are taken too soon and when they come back to haunt you.

    Excellent

    1992 UK TV adaptation of Georges Simenon's Maigret detective novels. Starring Micheal Gambon, which is almost too much to ask.

    Pilot double episode too slow. Much snappier after that.

    All available on YouTube.

    @Tim

    Yeah, we binge watched this a few months back. Faithful remake of the Rupert Davies 1960's Maigret - which is def. no bad thing

    Seen the Rowan Atkinson Maigret? Different vibe and characterisation but really, really good.

    Haven't seen it, but a friend said that it was "not bad".

    It's very different. Atkinson's Maigret is more cerebral and introspective - and his acting is brilliant. Slower pace with a world-weary Maigret (think Morse)

    Heed what the man says.

    Simenon gave great source material, the stories are just great. All three TV series were very well written, plotted and acted.

    Watch any of them.

    Quite simply the best TV I've seen in years. If it keeps this up, it'll challenge TTSS as the best of all time

    Just binged on the three episodes thus far and have to agree. It's excellent television.

    I don't remember Jack Ryan being this awfully cheesy in the first couple of seasons.

    Two minutes in and I get sight of a baddie. He's wearing a black turtle neck and a suit jacket, so he's definitely a baddie.

    The Lincoln Lawyer second season is good solid fun so far.

    Black Mirror is inconsistent.
