    What do you guys think is the best show on Netflix at the moment? My favorite things are Elite, The Rain, and Black Mirror.

    The Sleepy Hollow situation...it was all kinda confusing about what happened to Nicole Beharie.

    Now we know the details and they're difficult. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/19/movies/nicole-beharie-miss-juneteenth-sleepy-hollow.html

    Wtf? That's awful. This is the first I'm hearing of that; I did drop the show after season ... 3 I think, Beharie was still there mind. Had heard something about her abrupt departure. Was this a known secret she has only just confirmed?

    It seemed abrupt alright and at the time I wasn't sure if it was on her own terms, or more so the studios doing.

    I had no idea she was sick.

    Jaysus, very depressing stuff. TV production seems a bit Draconian at the best of times but by all accounts Beharie sounds dreadfully treated.

    On a lighter note it has reminded that Sleepy Hollow was a thing. Good show for precisely one season but Fox had no idea how to keep the energy going. Really fell of a cliff quality wise from season 2 onwards.

    Ken Barlow is Ken Barlow to me not Bill Roache.

    I even call his son (Linus Roache a very good actor in himself) the son of Ken Barlow when I can't think of his name.

    Was recently reading about this Irish emigrant from Portadown in the 19th century, Robert Boyle. Thought I was looking at Rufus Sewell for a moment.

    Is Miracle Workers with Daniel Radcliffe worth watching, just seen a trailer for a season set in ancient times, looked fun, I see Steve Buscemi is also in the cast

    It is an odd show, parts of the first series were entertaining and then it seemed to run out of steam for me.

    The second series apparently has the same premise but set in the dark ages with the same cast. I haven't seen that yet, I will give it a look when it comes on Sky Comedy next week

    A good video that makes for a sad, if kinda true summation of SyFy as a channel: functionally moribund at this stage really, upstaged by other Networks creating better (and better budgeted) SciFi - but also SyFy's own decisions both historic and current (going by its current stable of shows). The Expanse did feel like a particularly boneheaded move. Truly SyFy had a "cancel culture" long before the term itself appeared :)

    Excellent- thanks Harry Palmr- they've shown The Sweeney, The Professionals, Kojak, Columbo etc to death at this stage so good to get a new old one

    Dempsey and Makepeace was a favourite as a teen.

    BTW all- vote regularly and often on the FINAL of the most KICKASS TV Cop/Detective show- Columbo and Bodie in the final (along with some other dude :P)- if there are fans of 70's shows here, do vote for your fav- if not, then ignore link below :D

    Voting over in less than 24 hours so get voting :)

    Sapphire and Steel is being re-shown on Forces TV at 11 PM-12 PM Monday to Friday. The first series is on at the moment but now they have the rights it'll be repeated pretty quickly. Never saw it at the time.

    When it came out first, I couldn't get my head around the fact that the Invisible Man was appearing in this "English" show :P

    I remember it, but didn't warm to it at the time- no idea if I have that particular channel either.
