Anyone watching 'The Way'?
Im 2 episodes in and while it's a bit weird it's chilling to see how easy it could be for things to turn to shit.

I’m re binging the blacklist. I only saw the first couple of seasons on original release so will soon be in unfamiliar territory.

Still very enjoyable and James Spader is ace.

Yeah, it’s a bit over the top but the touch of normality makes it feel a bit real.

Expats on Prime - one very much to avoid. Ten hours wasted

 

[Tredman]

Ah, had that queued up, looked interesting

Expats on Prime

Sounds like a documentary Channel 5 would show

"We follow a group of ex-Pats in Benidorm as they go in search of an over priced novelty drink"

It's painfully slow paced, which I can cope with if you can build an emotional attachment with the characters but they're all just pricks. My other half enjoyed it, but then she's got very questionable taste

The way, nonsense.

Used to watch it religiously and agree Spader is excellent (in fact the pilot is one of my favourite episodes ever) but after five/ six seasons I lost interest, plus Megan Boone started doing my head in

Exactly this. Same with Person of Interest. American series often seem to take it a season or two too long (though Snowfall avoided that error).

The fact she's your other half clearly demonstrates this.

Just watched the first episode of Shogun. Pretty bloody good. Very faithful to the book, in lots of ways. And my little brother's ship is the opening scene!

 

[Dire Wolf]

Episode 2 of Shogun is brilliant. The acting, the production, the faithfulness to the book, and the tension are all superb.

Agreed. I watched E1 and E2 last night. Top stuff.

Thoroughly enjoying the completely made up adventures of Dick Turpin. Really silly stuff

I don't watch much telly but watched The Jury on Channel 4. Having never done jury service I've no idea if that's what it's like, but found it very interesting

I'm doing it in 2 weeks, I watched the first episode and found it unwatchable. If that's what it's really like I think I might be the other side of the court a couple of weeks later

Just remember your fate would be decided by a collection of people whom over half decided Brexit was a good idea.

(Obviously not everyone voted but you get my point!)

It was really worrying! Some people on the jury didn't even know what they were deciding on.
