I'm watching Roadkill at the moment (BBC iPlayer). It's not the best thing I've ever seen, but it's definitely worth a look. 4 x 1-hour episodes. Some excellent performances, particularly from Hugh Laurie. He's come a long way since his Fry & Laurie and Blackadder days!

On my list for tomorrow night...
Did anyone get on with Raised by Wolves?
I binned it after 40 minutes, and I like Ridley C Scott's work normally

This got absolutely slated on IMDB but I gave it a go and quite enjoyed the 1st episode.
Agreed about Laurie, he was fantastic in The Night manager.

Having finished Star Trek: Enterprise, I've picked up Discovery where I left off (the end of s1). I'm really enjoying it, but Jesus I have to concentrate - they speak so fast! It's much more than light viewing.
Watched the first episode of season 3 yesterday, even for a sci-fi freak it was difficult to keep up! You'll enjoy it!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but this is certainly worth a try: Schitts Creek
It's deservedly won numerous awards and is just fun. It reminds me of the comedies in the 70s - predictable, but good humour and a good laugh. It's also incredibly addictive when you get to know the characters.

Roadkill - Finished last night. I enjoyed it, easy to watch. Good production and acting (especially by the Prime Minister)
But ultimately the plot was a tad weak and lacked any real suspense. 7/10
We're about to start Sense8 this evening, which is categorised as Drama, Mystery, Sci-fi.
A group of people around the world are suddenly linked mentally, and must find a way to survive being hunted by those who see them as a threat to the world's order.
It comprises 2 seasons, a Christmas Special and a season finale (for some strange reason named Amor Vincit Omnia). An excellent IMDB rating.
BAD BLOOD (Netflix)
A Canadian Sopranos. I say that although I haven't got round to watching The Sopranos yet, so let's just say it's about a Canadian mafia family, based in Montreal. 14 episodes so far in 2 series. I've only watched the first 2 episodes, but I'm enjoying it so far.

How was Sense8, BB?
I will be sitting down to watch the final part of Season 1 in about 10 minutes. I intended giving a summary tomorrow. However, as you've asked, here goes.
It is a very good series, but concentration is essential. I have to switch my laptop off to avoid distractions.
Basically a cluster of 8 people all born on the same day all over the world who can totally interact with each other. I one gets into a scrape, one of the others with the basic skills takes over the body and kicks arse. Or course, there is a group of people who see them as a threat, and are trying to wipe them out.
I am enjoying it.
[Edit] It is such a weird concept, it takes about 3 episodes to really understand what is going on.
I'm watching WAKING THE DEAD at the moment on BBC iPlayer. 9 series between 2000 and 2011, but it doesn't feel dated. It's a London-based "cold case" story line. I've always liked Trevor Eve as an actor, and he leads a strong cast.
