Brilliant show that was. I seem to recall Millie saying something about being glad not to watch it with her teenage son present.

We watched it in original language Norwegian and German. Not sure if there is a dubbed version.

I started watching this last night, based on true events. I like it so far.

I started to watch ‘Gormenghast’ again. BBC fantasy series that came out in 2000 featuring a very young and evil Jonathan Rhys-Myers.

On episode 3 of ‘The Ripper’ on Netflix - all about the murders of the women and the botched police investigation that ultimately lead to Peter Sutcliffe’s arrest and conviction.

I absolutely love these crime documentaries on Netflix. ‘Murder Maps’ is another good one

Son and I watched last episode of season two of the mandalorian tonight. Very very cool end to the season, plus a little extra after the end credits too.

The Secret.

We just finished this on CBC Gem. Quite gripping true story based in NI in the 90's until 2010.

I was sure that the masked figure would turn out to be Jar Jar Binks...

Wife, daughter and I watched episode 1 last night. I explained a lot of the background to them as they weren't in the UK then. I was about 11 when it started. The police cars looked so small and slow and parts of Leeds didn't look too promising.

I binged "The undoing yesterday". It was very good, but I did think the end was a little underwhelming, I was expecting more of a twist.

sadly I find many of the UK series like that.

I am saving The Undoing to watch at Christmas.

Ohhh, never got round to finding that on a streaming service. I'll have to look to see if season 1 is on there. Thats's right up my alley that is.
If you have apple tv then I can recommend the Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound" as well.
