I started watching Delhi Crime last night, jaysus it's dreadful but I kind of want to know what happens!

Feck, I was looking forward to this, thought it might be decent.

Could be just me now, it's a decent storyline but so dragged out. Also subtitles aren't working properly so you have to watch it in English.

Missed Bodyguard on the Beeb last year. One episode in and it’s a cracker!!

It's no line of duty, it's a bit OTT to say the least but still fun and gripping for me.
Keeley Hawes was Fab as per usual.

I'm so glad I follow this thread because I didn't get any notification that Bodyguard was up there. So looking forward to it. Thanks Pete for your updates.

Finished The Dirt last night. Loved it, thought it was way more fun than other music biopics, including Bohemian Rhapsody and Straight Outta Compton. OK, none of the actors in The Dirt held a candle to Malek as Freddie, but a movie about MC is never going to be Oscar material.
Easy watching, solid fun with a few tug on the heart strings moments.

Someone conveniently forgot to log out of netflix in my hotel and Ive gone through 4 episodes of Altered Carbon. Pretty outstanding stuff, can't remember something so polished in the Blade Runner style made for TV

It's good but gets a bit too dark for my liking.

Not dark enough for my liking....

Afterlife is really worth a watch.
There's a lot more to it than it being a 'comedy'.

Sweet and funny,but also caustic in places and surprisingly touching.
Gervais' best work since The Office imo.

I really enjoyed After Life but would still put Extras above it in Gervais work.

What I liked about After Life was that while some of it was quite melancholic, those scenes were offset by scenes of comic relief. The relationships around him keep a degree of balance.

Laughed my hole off at times - doesn't feel like it was a stretch for Gervais to play the role - and cried at times.

Main criticism is the last episode was over sentimental and wasn't really in keeping with the previous 5 episodes but it had done enough by then to get something of a pass.

Enjoyed Bodyguard, despite some nonsensical parts, right up until the last episode where I thought it went very silly.

I think the final scene which I suspect was written by Nigel Farage just ****ed me off immensely,, just odd really.

Wow ok. As a female I found some scenes very difficult to watch. The theme of misogyny was portrayed too graphically and the level of violence was unnecessary for something that's supposed to be entertainment.

Started Bodyguard last night and watched 2 last night and 2 this morning!! Love it. Please don't ruin it for me by saying the end is disappointing. Can't wait to get back to it.

I could give this a go actually
