There’s a 4 part drama starting tonight on ITV in the UK about the Litvinenko poisoning back in 2006 and starring David Tennant as Litvinenko - looks like it will be worth watching but I’ll give feedback in due course.
It came out a while ago, last year I think. You can see it on ITVX. It's very good.
I had a feeling that it had been on TV before, so they’re obviously showing it this week as a repeat but not mentioning it!!

Yes I reviewed it last year and I seem to recall giving it a 9/10

I've just downloaded some more episodes of Silo, which I'm enjoying. I've also downloaded season 1 of Ark.
Silo - very good. Ark - awful.
Ark is a decent, though hardly original, sci-fi concept (colonisation spaceship develops problems en route, bla bla), but it's clearly aimed at teens, appears to have no one over 25 on board, and there doesn't seem to have been any kind of psychological pre-assessment of either crew or colonists, who are constantly squabbling and throwing tantrums. Hugely irritating, watch this at your own risk.
Maybe I'll jump in and try season 6 then. I watched S1 Ep1, the one with the pig-shagging PM, all the way through, mainly because I couldn't quite believe what I was seeing, and never bothered after that.

Yes, I was a bit non-plussed with that first one but I'm glad I stuck with the show. Some hits and misses but overall very entertaining and great commentary about how fiction may/will become reality.
C'mon DM forget all those dystopian/Marvel/space shows
