The Woman in the Wall (BBC)
The much-hyped BBC thriller based in Ireland using the Magdalene Laundries as a backdrop and starring Ruth Wilson.
Very dark (but that's just the bad photography) and slow-paced (because it's in rural Ireland). It's got modern BBC production values (the hero lead detective is black with a poor-kid-made-good background), honest (the stereotype local cops are thick as pig-shit) and makes a social comment (It has strong Irish accents).
In short, disappointing, formulaic TV.

I wish I was - looked forward to it as Ruth Wilson is brilliant. So disappointing.

That review sums it up brilliantly.
Starts good, rapidly turns to unwatchable, boring shit.
Play a drinking game and have a shot for every time they say “Calling”
I know this cos the other half is stubborn and watched the whole series after I gave up.

I only just got through the first episode. And then finally learnt how to delete a show from my watching list on Netflix to get rid of the second episode.

@Nepia fucken share man!
I think it's player dependent - I have an Apple TV, IIRC I had to hold down long enough for a menu to come up that allows you to remove it.
Netflix is the worst for removing stuff. Stan, Apple, Prime etc are all pretty much self explanatory in comparison.

I'm catching up on some oldish shows.
Snowpiercer: I'm near the end of the first season. Quite like it. I seem to remember it being criticised on here, which I think contributed to me delaying watching it.
Only Murders in the Building: Also near the end of the first season. Who would have though of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as trio to carry a show? Well the first two yes, but Gomez ... I'm enjoying this too, easy watching later at night.
