The Horror of Dolores Roach

I'm three episodes in and can't stop, I'm going to be up late tonight. Chilling, and freaking me out a bit!

^^ Freaking out? Come down with some nice gentle SF (maybe not so gentle in parts) in Foundation series 2. Now playing.

I thought I should add a warning, some parts are pretty gory...

Pretty gory, and pretty silly IMO. It's not for me.

I’ve watched the first two episodes of Sixth Commandment and it’s quite surprising that it’s based on fact - unusual but quite compelling!!

Don't know how this one slipped under my radar. Perpetual Grace, Ltd (2019) starring Ben Kingsley, Jimmi Simpson and the excellent Damon Herriman(Dewey Crowe in Justified).

James, a young grifter, attempts to prey upon Pastor Byron Brown, who turns out to be far more dangerous than he suspects. A cast of Coen brothers-type characters complicate their plans to outplay each other. imdb



All of Season 1 on Yoo Toob apparently, I downloaded from PB. :cheers:

Another interesting point is that it’s a great advert for the oldies, featuring Anne Reid at age 88 and Sheila Hancock who is 90 - both still going strong!!

Just watched series 1 of Departure.
When Flight 716 disappears over the Atlantic Ocean, Kendra Malley of the TSIB is selected to lead the team investigating the crash. Still devastated by the recent death of her husband, Kendra isn't sure she's up to the task. However, with the whole world watching, her team must race to find the missing aircraft and rescue possible survivors.
6 x 40 minute episodes. Like all such dramas it has some holes, but it has a few twists and turns and I found it entertaining enough to binge. I'm about to start series 2. Available on PB (series download) and eztv (individual episodes).

What did you think of Severance?

I've just completed it. Early on i thought it wasn't for me, but I persisted and in the end I found the storyline to be good. And in terms of the overall production I'd say it was very good.

A strange storyline but well put together and worthy of a watch IMO. 8/10
Just watched the first 2 episodes and can't decide if I like it or not. TBH it's creeping me out a bit...

Just started The Terminal List and the pilot was pretty good so will continue with it.

Enjoying Hijack at the moment though not looking forward to my next flight!

Terminal list is decent stuff

Hijack - I hadn't realised it was currently showing on TV so I'll have to wait to binge the final 4 episodes. I think they show on Wednesdays
