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

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...

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.
