Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Will have to look those up. We gave up our cable TV - and saved $100 a month which goes towards the going back home kitty! So I don't watch any US TV anymore. Even my previously favourite show - Mad Men - doesn't interest me anymore. Only thing I do miss is baseball, but we could fork out for MLB tv online if we really wanted to.
I have little interest in the US programs and I am being quite sincere about that. There isn't a single one that interests me. I did like the Discovery channel and HGTV but that's about it and I refuse to pay all that money just for a few channels. Nowadays, I have a ball watching the iplayers
And, as you said, there are better things to do with the money these days.

Really enjoyed the last episode of "The Syndicate". Finally got around to watching the first episode of "The Ice Cream Girls", very enjoyable.

Politicians Wife was good and I think it will have some good stuff to look forward to.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
Watched the last episode of The Syndicate last night. Why did it have to end so soon. 
Struggled through episode 4 of The Village. A very disappointing series...very tedious. I thought there were only 3 episodes then saw a 4th had been shown this week...so I thought I may as well watch it. How many more episodes are there? Please tell me none.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
The Ice Cream Girls reminds me somewhat of Unforgiven. Don't know if that 3-part series is still available. Just saw it a couple of weeks ago. Like them both.
I am sticking with The Village, although it is a struggle at times. The best part for me is the the fate of the daughter in the family of the manor. Always interesting to see how privilege did not always mean happiness.
As for Mad Men we did see the first two episodes of this season (which we were able to watch online) and it was dreadful! Last season it had already started to go downhill but I hung in there until the end. I am beginning to see the virtue of the 3 or 6 part series (although not The Syndicate - didn't want that to end at all!)

Yes, it could be that she was what made the programme as good as it was. Ice Cream Girls will most likely turn out to be similar in predictability - but hopefully not.

Re: Broadchurch and Other UK TV Programs
That is what I should have done with "Broadchurch". I did lose a bit of interest in it as it seemed to drag in places. "The Politician's Husband" got a very good review (not that reviews are always credible) so I am hopeful that it will be enjoyable. It is written by same writer as the "The Politicians Wife"
