I'm going to give another mention in favour of Jack Taylor. I'm up to date now and they're on Netflix. Bizarrely it says season one, when wiki says the episodes cover two, even though the airing dates suggest a one off and then two short seasons.

It's always nice to see new regular locations, like Galway in this case and Shetland in...Shetland. so for the same reason I'm also going to give another shout to the Varg Veum series from Bergen (that should please Stinky )

I've recommended the Norwegian former child services worker, now PI, on the "Broadchurch" thread over on MBTTUK a few times.

Speaking of Shetland, I watched the first one of the last (third) season tonight. The same high standard.

Cold Feet
I loved it when it was last on and the 1st episode after a 13 year hiatus was definitely not disappointing

I bought the whole thing on DVD about three years ago and I've yet to rewatch it.

I should do that before catching up I think.

Fed Up. It's a documentary about childhood obesity in the US on Netflix and It had me spellbound from start to finish. It has even (partly) persuaded my husband to give up his Coca Cola habit! The kids were really admirable mostly and I wanted to smack their parents.

I've just also loved "Addicted to Pleasure" on Netflix too, a very enjoyable 4 parter on the history of Heroin, Sugar, Whiskey and Tobacco. British documentary at its best.

I managed about ten minutes of this nonsense. It was just unattractive people spouting simplistic and boring cliches about being middle aged. If I wanted to listen to that rubbish I'd go to one of HID's staff parties.

It is a marmite kind of show

Tangram

Isn't everything ?

Stinkypup

Not to the degree that it makes you spew

Oink

The programme didn't make me ill, its going to HID work parties and and having listen to the all the self-absorbed middle-aged prattle.

Stinkypup

Yes but I bet you smile sweetly and knock back the odd schooner or 7 of sherry

Finished up Fleabag today. It grew on me.

I shall give Crashing a go too.

Uncle is good- was recommended by a Canadian colleague but typically British. She described it as 'charming' - not sure that is the right description but funny nonetheless. Season 1 on Netflix, Season 2 I will stream

Gonna try Crashing, looks worth a look

I watched Our Ex Wife which was okay but Home from Home was hilarious.

First Contact: Lost Tribes of the Amazon. Interesting docu. Channel 4 if available.
