If anyone's considering "Bay Of Fires" (on ITVX) I thought it was fairly decent, with not as many laughs as I was expecting, but definitely as many two-dimensional characters.

At last some proper Scandi noir to watch - Jana is streaming on iPlayer. It's about a young Swedish prosecutor with a deeply traumatic past coming back to haunt her. Liked what I've seen so far, good production values. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001z7p0 |

I'm not sure about Jana yet, good start but there are hyperbolic elements and some quite unnecessary effects with water symbolically bludgeoning us with how disturbed she is.

Lol - yes they overdo the water FX a bit - it's never going to rival the best but an entertaining watch for me thus far ...

Dark Matter E7. This one's a doozy, getting more twisty and beginning to become quite difficult to tell 'them' apart.
The build-up is great and the ending is right on the cusp of the main event in the book where things get REALLY complicated.
A superb episode.

Sugar - Apple TV
Pretty good. A private detective specialising in finding people is contracted to find a missing woman
There are 'things going on' that are not clear. More is revealed as you go on
The last couple of episodes reveal way more than I thought
No spoilers ! so can't tell you more

Enjoying "Travelers" series - Netflix Quite special How a good series is made and performed. Raised the bar hugely for the lesser series We watched that a while ago. Not bad. We're watching Truth Seekers - with some of the 'Shaun of the dead' crew. It's on a Doctor Who level with a bit more gore. Can't say I recommend it, but it's filling the screen 🙂 Not a patch on SoD, Hot fuzz, Paul etc. But they were films.. |

I quite enjoyed "Truth Seekers" and I thought it improved as it bumbled onwards.

The Americans Nigh on perfect Never have anti-heroes been so good to watch. As with Travelers, it's all about the characters. |

Something I'd started watching, or re-watching to be more precise, is "Sleepy Hollow", on Channel 5 / My5. Tons of spookiness, horror, etc. and a great sense of humour, plus a strong cast. Jeanette and I watched it ages ago, and it's coming back to me nicely. I'd forgotten quite how much fun it was.
