    Endeavour Series 1 - 9.
    As Inspector Morse is one of my favourite British crime shows i was a bit wary of watching this but i really enjoyed it,Shaun Evans was brilliant as a young Morse and Roger Allam was great as Detective Chief Inspector Thursday,next up i'll be rewatching the 7 seven series of Inspector Morse followed by Lewis which i haven't seen before. 8.8/10.

    COMA ( Channel 5 ) 8.5/10

    Not normally a fan of these 4 x 1 hour shown in a week jobbies but this was excellent .

    Storyline sees some gobby youth , son of the local gangster terrorising a family , family hit back , father suspects , ol' Bill suspect , ol' man next door knows , lots of twists & turns , decent acting , a couple of minor oversights as in local gangsters would wear gloves when doing house break ins & wouldn't kidnap people in their own cars with personal number plates , then again , I am fussy but , a damn good watch .

    3 body problem - 7/10

    Average sci fi stuff, watchable but not great.

    I didn't even find it watchable, in theory it should be right up my street, but the first episode was so very, very boring I binned it. :(

    After all these years i've finally watched SOA right the way through. Thought it went for one season too long, and the last season dragged a bit but enjoyed it overall.

    I thought it was okay, apart from the episodes with Charlie Hunnam in them. :whistle

    Everything goes downhill in Northern Ireland ;) (sorry, Pork, for the bad joke )

    Yeah. I liked SoA very much. My favourite figure in it was Chuckie Marstein, the compulsive Masturbator :laugh:

    Agreed, too. First I watched 3 Body Problem only because of Eiza Gonzalez :ashamed but then got interested in the story, too.

    Actually watched the first episode of "John Sugar" starring good old Colin Farrell as private detective John Sugar. Has a "noir" feeling and so far not bad.

    I had a double take when Auggie came on screen (actually more than one). I thought Keira Knightley had gone through a time warp.

    Entertaining Japanese/British crime mini series. They handle multiple storylines unfolding in two different countries quite well, with likeable characters that you root for.

    One of the better things I have seen on the telly.
    Cheers for the recommendation @Jonny Ninja

    The dance sequence in the final episode was just bizarre. We already know what they were trying to convey with it.

    On a side note, Episode 4 was peak television.

    ah I’m glad you enjoyed it dude. It’s one of my absolute favourite shows of recent times. It’s the characters and the relationships that they form that I really love about the show

    And yeah the contemporary dance on the roof was a little out of place and felt a bit pretentious
