    It doesn't go back that far in time (plus the actor who played Hitler is from Stuttgart)

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Title: Craith (Hidden)

    Genre: Crime/Drama

    Network: S4C (Welsh with English subs available)

    Craith (Hidden in English) is an eight-part series created by Hinterland/Y Gwyll co-creator Ed Talfan and Hinterland/Y Gwyll writer Mark Andrew. Dark, broody and compelling drama.

    One of the best series I've watched in a while. If you liked Hinterland, you'll like this.

    Genre: Dark Comedy
    Cast: Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino "This is America"), & one of the actors from 'Get Out'.

    Title: Bodies (BBC 2004-2006, 17 episodes)

    Cast: Max Beesley, Patrick Baladi, Neve McIntosh, Keith Allen, Tamzin Malleson

    Genre: Dark Medical

    Description: From Jed Mercurio (who writes Line Of Duty) based on his own experiences as a Doctor in the NHS. Dark and graphic gritty Medical drama following the realities and politics of life on the front line in the underfunded front line of an NHS Obstetrics and Gynaecology ward. Went under the radar at the time but stands up as an absorbing and revealing drama series.

    Binge watched 'The Order' on Netflix and was a quite an enjoyable supernatural show, hope it gets renewed.

    Season 2 of Marvel's Cloak & Dagger started last week on Amazon Prime with 2 episodes.
    Solid start so far. Very poor marketing from Amazon for what is a very good show.

    Title: The Other Two

    Cast: Drew Tarver, Heléne Yorke, Ken Marino, Case Walker, Molly Shannon and Wanda Sykes

    Genre: Commedy

    Description: An aspiring actor and his sister Brooke, a former professional dancer, try to find their place in the world while wrestling with their feelings about their 13-year-old brother Chase's sudden rise to internet fame.

    Links: TVMaze, IMDB, Boards

    Watch this if you like:

    Excellent comedy from Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider with a great cast written and executed well. Wanda Sykes and Ken Marino are adding star power to it but their roles are really fun. The characters are well defined and have a great arch through the season with some over the top comedy balancing out some dark element. Overall this worth the watch.

    There is also a short aftershow in which the creators and the cast talk about the show.

    Title: Babylon Berlin

    Cast: Liv Lisa Fries (she pops up in Counterpart also).

    Genre: (neo-noir) Crime drama (switches up to more of a thriller in series 2)
    Description: It’s an inter-war crime drama, set in Berlin where nothing is ever quite what it seems. A detective, ostensibly trying to break a porn ring, stumbles across a conspiracy. Its grimy Berlin settings are contrasted with its Burlesque night-life, adding to the neo-noir feel; with an interesting story and excellent acting, it makes it a well-crafted series. Series 3 coming late ’19.

    Title: Happy

    Cast: Christopher Meloni (Law & Order), Ritchie Coster, Lili Mirojnick, Medina Senghore, Patrick Fischler

    Genre: 'Live-action/adult animated black comedy/action-drama'

    Description: 'Disgraced police detective Nick Sax (Christopher Meloni) lives as a social outcast, filling his days with heavy drinking and substance abuse, moonlighting as a hitman to feed his various habits. After sustaining a massive heart attack, Nick comes into contact with a small, blue, winged unicorn named Happy (an animated character voiced by Patton Oswalt) that apparently only he can see. Happy explains he is the imaginary friend of a little girl named Hailey, who has been kidnapped by a deranged man dressed as Santa Claus ("Very Bad Santa").'

    Links: IMDB, Wiki

    Watch this if you like: Dark comedy, gory-ish scenes (more punishment than The Punisher, albeit some accidental), bat-sht crazy ideas, one of the best fight scenes where there's no movement (S02E07), a stunning performance by Meloni. 18+, regardless of the flying blue imaginary unicorn. Anyone I've recommend this to has been well impressed by it. Need to be willing to suspend disbelief, especially for season 2.

    Description: 6 Part 1994 BBC Scotland series about the patients and voluntees at a fledgling Hospital Radio Station in a Glasgow Psychiatric Hospital. Funny, poignant and thought provoking as it deals with the realities and dreams of all who spend their time with "fellow loonies"

    The Line Out on Virgin Media One, rugby focused entertainment show for the duration of the 6 Nations.

    A fun light effort.

    Genre: Drama, Humour, Quirky

    Description: Feeling as though there's something missing in their lives, four ordinary people stumble across a puzzle hiding just beyond the veil of everyday life, and their eyes are opened to a world of possibility and magic.

    Dispatches From Elsewhere centers around four ordinary people who feel there’s something missing in their lives, but they can’t quite put their finger on what it is. This diverse foursome is brought together by chance – or perhaps it’s by design – when they stumble onto a puzzle hiding just behind the veil of everyday life. As they begin to accept the mysterious Dispatches from Elsewhere challenges, they come to find that the mystery winds deeper than they imagined, and their eyes are opened to a world of possibility and magic.

The eldest sisters Hannah and Nina (Played by Nicola Walker and Annabel Scholey) and the mother are divorce solicitors, specialising in high profile clients.

    Just watched episode one of a series called Bás nó Saoirse/ Death or Liberty on TG4. It is subtitled as well, so if you don't have Irish you can enjoy it.

    It history thing all about the British transport ships to Australia in the 18th century/19th Century.
    Focuses' on the fate of Rebels against the Crown, who were sent there. Gives them a good back story and includes people from Wales. Ireland and America. Well done and informative.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.
