Counterpart is from Starz but I thought it was available on Prime. Is there yet another level you have to pay for?

So far as I know, yes.
Think Starz is a separate entity
Yes can sign up free, but I know what the boss would demand as we watched their stuff.
Cutting down on TV where I can. Music not TV in afternoons now when the boss is around. Much less TV for me when she is out

Thanks, Paul. Not know much about Prime I hadn't realised.
Better not hit purchase as my pseudo-stepdaughter might complain!

I got to watch Black Mirror's Bandersnatch on Netflix today - you can't watch it on a PC, you need an interactive TV. I watched it on our large LG set. What a strange experience it is, with decision points all along the way. Some seemingly appear inconsequential (the breakfast cereal or music choices) while others are significant branches. The whole thing is an interesting experiment which, for me, is not in the end very satisfying. I did enjoy hearing Phaedra all the way through, but mostly I want my entertainment to follow the writer's path and don't want to be making the decisions all the way through.
Very clever, but I wouldn't want to be interacting too often like this.

Possibly the greatest line in the history of Dr. Who was delivered by Bradley Walsh as "Graham" tonight...
Sorry, but it came completely out of the blue and it cracked me up.

Elementary
the modern day take on Sherlock Holmes, Brit lead actor, set in New York Always pretty good. The last few episodes at the end of series 4 went to new heights
Recommended
No spoilers but this take uses his father as a character

CobraSky drama set in modern time when a country wide power outage causes the government a headache with Robert Carlyle as the PM. You have to follow it to avoid losing track, but I thought it was excellent and hope that they do a second series. IMDB link

Sex Education S2 on Netflix was just as cringingly funny as S1, great ensemble cast and wittily written scripts. Some of it reminds me of Teachers from long ago, but this one is from the perspective of the students.

We gave up on Wisting after E5. The writing is poor and some of the acting (the daughter) excruciating. Carrie-Anne Moss is wasted.

Is anyone else watching "The Trial of Christine Keeler"? I'm quite enjoying it. We watched the first episode this evening. Very well done, Sophie Cookson is gorgeous and very believable as Keeler. Those times were quite sickening, from the maltreatment of women to the entitled class in their protected bubble of sex and political manouvering.

I heed your warnings on Wisting - only done ep1 thus far ...

The boss has yet to be persuaded to watch Christine Keeler. I will nudge again

The only thing I'll say against "The Trial Of Christine Keeler" is that it could probably have been done in four parts, rather than six. Meanwhile, Picard starts tomorrow.

Picard, mmm, is that going to need extra payment on Prime?
