The Hour with Dominic West and Romola Garai.
Re-watch after about 10 years. Awesome
-
The Long Shadow - Good ITV series about the Yorkshire Ripper, which highlights the errors made by the police and thier narrow focus that very likely saw the Ripper at large for years longer than he should have been.
-
@taniwharugby yeah was really well done. I'd seen a couple of docos but had no idea it was that long and that much of a fuckup. Pretty frustrating watch eh.
-
Did either of you watch Red Riding? It was a 3 part drama series about corruption in Yorkshire and beyond which had implications in re the Ripper. Not based on fact but a bloody good watch.
-
@Catogrande it's even got George in it!
-
George?
It does have Daniel Mays in it, who is also in The Long Shadow I see.
RR is a real melting pot of very good actors. Peter Mullan, David Morrisey, Paddy Considine
-
@Catogrande I thought Morrissey plays George in Long Shadow?
-
The Reckoning. BBC 4-parter on Jimmy Saville and his serial sex abuse.
Horrifying, believable, anger-inducing and hard to watch all at the same time. Steve Coogan gives the performance of his life - mesmerising.
-
@Catogrande no, but will give it a look cheers.

Brave role to take on.
I loved him so much in this role…..

He's an excellent straight actor. Outstanding in Philomena.

The fall of the House of Usher
One episode in and looking promising. It’s a bit like Sucession ( complete with the arsehole rich kids bickering ) with Supernatural shit thrown in.
Carla Gugino looks disappointing, not sure if it’s her age or they’ve done it deliberately ?
Compelling enough to watch more though.

This popped up on my Netflix feed and I couldn't make out WTF it was and whether it was worth watching. Keep us updated as you go along if it holds up please.
I recently watched Who's Erin Carter, which is a switch off the brain Netflix Brit show set in Spain. I'll admit I only watched it because I liked the look of the actress. Was watchable but silly, lots of fight scenes (guys who can't handle seeing women winning fights need not bother watching), a bit of a thriller premise that you'll probably work out pretty early, but only 7 episodes.One thing though, it was extremely annoying that the main character speaks about 3 words of Spanish despite the fact she's lived in Spain for about 6 years.
I started watching One Piece last night, first episode was fun in a world building kind of way. I haven't read the manga so it's all new to me.

It’s worth a watch and can confirm Carla Gugino gets considerably hotter the more she is in it !

I haven't watched it yet but The Fall of the House of Usher is another series from Mike Flanagan. I enjoyed both The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor so I am assuming this will be good too. A lot of the same actors appear in these including Carla.

I've never heard of those two shows. A look at his IMDB and it appears he's a horror guy, I don't watch much horror.
