Thanks for that...it looks interesting. Looks like the UK air date is 10th Aug...although some say June.

So rather enjoyed the end of Scott and Bailey...though one the person in the car chatting on the phone, didn't realise the UK had relaxed the laws on using a phone while driving.

Anyway, good one that and hope it comes back for more.

Life of Crime was also a good 3 parter, though the last episode, whilst pretty good, was a little weak and I thought perhaps could have been done as a two parter. Still, it tied into the first episode nicely and was a good progression of the characters career.

Might work with another series this, which might not be a bad thing.

Scott and Bailey is the best series on UK TV for a long time IMO. Didn't think much to Life of Crime...in fact most of the mini series I have seen recently have been disappointing. They are too slow and there's nothing endearing about the characters.

This has probably been asked and answered many a time here, but the search function is down so please bear with me. I was using tunnelbear but it quit working for me, so looking for another VPN. Any suggestions for something reliable, including decent support? Ta.

Last ever episode of Shameless is airing tonight. I haven't seen it for ages, since whoever was showing it over here stopped. The most recent series' I saw weren't as good as the earlier ones, but still quality TV. I'm glad Fiona is back for the end, loved her and Steve.

Think I might have to do a catch-up on Netflix over the next few weeks, maybe I'll start again from the beginning.

Case Histories, with Jason Isaacs, back for a second series. Pretty good too, but been a while since the first series.
OOh I loved this. Wonder when it will hit BBC America

Probably just after it airs in the US I'd think, it was like that last time anyway I thought.

It's a different actor, right? Not David Suchet?

No, it's him....looking older and not so good.

I've tried watching it three times already and keep getting distracted so don't actually know what's happening.

We liked it. Little weird, but has a lot of potential. Only seen the first episode though.
