…I’ve just watched the first season of Slow Horses…

Spoiler:

…it’s actually very good, fun characters and gripping storyline…

….also…

Spoiler:

….The Folly that Hassan was taken to in the last episode…?…..is somewhere I’ve been quite a few times…/…Wimpole’s Folly in Cambridgeshire….

[bitontheslide]

yes, i felt to talk about it doesn't do it justice, because it's just so different from what you would expect, and the acting is great

…I wasn’t sure that I’d like Gary Oldman’s character at the beginning but Lamb really grows on us, doesn’t he…….

Spoiler:

…although the ending of season 1, I did have a feeling from the first flashbacks that he had killed her husband…/…I hadn’t figured for Cartwright’s grandfather to be part of it though…

Spoiler:

…yeah that…did that just happen…but starts right at the beginning with the Stanstead security alert and chase etc when the wrong clothing details were given by MI5…….EXCUSE ME…!!!!!!…it was a a few episodes before they revealed it was all a training exercise……I liked that lightness of it because the storyline itself was very dark so it created a great balance…I was sad when Sid died, though…was Sid her name…

Spoiler:

Ahhh ... you missed something. The young tech guy said that all trace of her had been wiped out from records. The implication from that is that she is not dead

Spoiler:

I started watching Loudermilk last night and am enjoying it, it's very funny

[Ammi]

…I’ve just begun to watch season 2 of Slow Horses…

[bitontheslide]

enjoy!

[Ammi]

…..hmmmmmm….

Spoiler:

…so is this going to be their thing/the series thing that in each season they pick a favourite character to kill off…?…that’s not good at all and if that’s the way of them then they can keep their heartbreak right now and Season 3 can sit on its own in the corner….no one needs that…Min…

Spoiler:

no, that's not how it goes in the global scheme of things

[Ammi]

Spoiler:

…I have a few spy skills myself and have noticed a pattern in the last two seasons…they’re killing off characters whose first names only have three letters…Sid/then Min…if they drop the b from Lamb and start to call him Lam or shorten Cartwright to Riv then I’m switching off and they can keep their global schemes ….

Spoiler:

Just remember, Sid is not actually dead, it just looks like she is

Although, i think season 3 will have you shouting at the TV

I'm currently watching the Netflix series 'One Day '

I've never read the book nor seen the film ,but it's got me engaged fairly. The characters are messy and annoying at times,but I guess that's to show the issues & struggles
they're going through in life,and how they're trying to fill some void.which I guess should be sort of relatable.

Spoiler:

I didn't expect Emma to be having some random affair with her married colleague at the
school she works at ,seemed out of character. I think it's showing how unhappy she is,as she split with boyfriend ( who is also a very annoying character ,and I cringed when he kept the keys to the flat ,and invaded her privacy) dysfunctional character.

Dexter is a weird one , I find him exhausting and annoying, we're meant to sympathy a bit with him. But I just find myself rolling my eyes at his broken behaviour. Hopefully he has growth later on.

I'm watching 'Kin', a drama about a Dublin crime family. BBC1. It's really gripping...

[Ammi]

…Ive just started to watch Deadloch….I saw an online review/description that says it perfectly so I’ll use that and their words…


Deadloch is the Feminist Crime Parody You Didn’t Know You Needed
This delightful Australian import, originally called Funny Broadchurch, starts off as a spoof before blooming into an addictive, hilarious thriller that stands on its own.


….sometimes horrifying, sometimes hilarious and quirky as all heck…/…I’m loving it…

Kin is great and I believe there will be a 2nd series.

I am watching The Dry, very witty and superbly acted

…I’m liking it a lot, I might finish it later or tomorrow…it’s different to anything else really, isn’t it…I mean, the humour isn’t dark humour as we would generally associate with this type of dark storyline because it really is very dark in content …it’s a silly, almost childish humour…(…with very non child appropriate language……)…but just silly humour so we’re literally laughing out loud and then in a breath it’s…oh wow….

[Ammi]

…they’re funny old people down under, aren’t they……
