Wonderful. Thank you for the recommendation, I’d have missed it too otherwise.

Thank you :)) It'll take us ages to watch it as I agreed not to watch it unless J is here :verm:

I’m 3 episodes in and can’t see any other outcome so far other than he’s guilty. It’s so weird that back then he had cameras following him around like that though. And 13 episodes! Obviously there must be something more to it than initially appears to string it out that much.

Yes, it was excellent. You described it perfectly.

I've jumped on the Nanette bandwagon and it was fantastic - funny and emotional and breathtaking. Thank you Santa.

Rillington Place is good. It's the BBC 3-parter with Tim Roth and Samantha Morton.

Oh yes, I saw that when it was on the BBC. Very creepy.

The new Nailed It has annoyed me a bit as some of the people seem a bit too good, and some of the challenges (like the snack stadium) aren't baking but there's still been some hysterical moments.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Jessica Biel is a woman who apparently stabs a complete stranger on a beach for no reason and Bill Pullman is the cop trying to help find out why she did it. It's good and, even better, only 8 episodes.
P and I started this last night as he had a shift swap and watched the first 4 episodes. He's working the next two nights, the selfish bastard. :mad:

I am pushing for Rillington Place next, this recommendation might help convince Mr G.

We're watching Wild, Wild Country, as recommended way back there I think by Del. It's fascinating, but each episode seems to go on forever when you're really uncomfortable because it's too hot.

The three parts focus on Edith (his wife) then Tim Evans (his neighbour) then Christie himself so whilst it is a linear timeline , the focus shifts so it's not just murder, murder, murder, murder (etc) from Christie's perspective.

I tried Wild, Wild Country but couldn’t get into it.

I’m finally finishing Ozark off after a long break, and that’s coming back next month. And Season 2 of GLOW is good.

That sounds an interesting way to do it. I remember seeing a clip on Gogglebox and being a bit gripped just by that.

Oh, my friend has just recommended this too, I'm going to start it next, I think. It really is so annoying when you are watching something together and you are desperate to carry on!

We are currently watching Luke Cage Season 2, it's been excellent so far. Even the brief appearance of Iron Fist hasn't managed to spoil it. :lol:

I’m watching Cargo at the moment and it’s excellent. I haven’t seen the end but I’m hoping it’s going to be a good one.

It’s the film based on a short from a few years ago where a man is bitten by a zombie and needs to get his child to safety before he turns.

Waaay behind everyone but I've just binged on 4 episodes of The Crown today. Love it.

Nanette was fantastic. I've re-watched it umpteen times.

Has anyone watched Good Girls yet, great female leads a bit far fetched but well paced and darkly amusing.
