And you look like an astrology casualty.

My kids have commandeered the TV for the most part. The last show I was subjected to was Fireman Sam.

I've been on a documentary kick of late. The last series I watched was Trial 4 on Netflix.

AP Bio is a funny series. It feels like a spinoff of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which certainly isn't a bad thing.

I always like watching journalism in action and especially the emotional entanglements between the characters were well done
You both have seen the original House of Cards, yes? The BBC one?

It’s perf.

I guess my problem with Coben is the Netflixy feel of the shows. As though it was produced by AI… he’s a Jersey guy and the shows are set in Britain and France, sans any local flavor. Whereas Morse could only be set in Oxford, Cracker is a deeply Mancunian affair etc. And the dialogue is not exactly worthy of Le Carré (my gold standard is TTSS with Alec Guinness)
Yeah this may be where we differ. I watched one episode of Morse and it didn't do it for me, at all. I watched Frost and was an instant fan. I found Cracker just drove me mad. Really wanted to like it, after all I had heard about it, but ended up hating it. Life's too short to try to get into TV that doesn't speak to you from episode one or at least two.

You’re spot on about the centrality of reporting, I think in that it’s the Blair era update of All The President’s Men. The twist we’ll agree to disagree on, I bought it hook line and sinker! Knew you would love KM! For me the milf wife is the eye candy. What a performance from Bill Nighy as the editor!



Wasn’t crazy about the first season, I thought even Scully looked a bit bored…
FYI Kelly is also in a Black Mirror ep I just watched, season three episode called "Hated in the Nation". Just sayin'. Have you seen her in The Victim? A powerhouse performance, recommended.

Just watched Mr. Men last night! MIS-TER BUMP! MIS-TER BUMP!
Nothing wrong with kids' TV.

I haven't, I never watched that genre of series until jadis convinced me with the argument of Scottish accents

Okay well if you like
a) political intrigue
b) investigative journalism and
c) Machiavellian plots it's well worth watching. No Scottish accents I'm afraid, but highly recommended. The Kevin Spacey one is a poor American rip-off.

I'm a big fan of Ian Richardson (he's every bit as great as Guinness in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) but this one wasn't for me. A bit one-note, the note being "oh look at me I'm so evil"...
