I started The Night Agent, awful stuff. Lasted 15 minutes. No doubt it will be renewed within the week.

Wrong side of the tracks I thought was a decent watch.

Main character is from Unauthorised living which was a great series.

Watched the 3 Waco episodes last night in one sitting. Really good

added to disney plus last week too

Meanwhile over at Disney….

Each to their own, I wanted to enjoy it but it was moving so quickly to set up the mysteries and I knew it wouldn't be half as quick to solve them. It felt like they had a checklist of certain things to explain and characters to introduce. I stopped at the home invasion scene when your one came downstairs and asked "what are those papers", just one example of clunky dialogue and poor acting.

From looking at the trailer it seems like a similar concept to The Recruit from last year which I also gave up on after 30 mins

Really like BBC dramas so flicking through I came up with one I hadn't seen - You don't know me. A four parter. Gonna give it a shot.

Good stuff, I'm getting stuck into watching. Happy Valley is something I never watched. The name seemed stupid and put me off. But I did hear it was very good so might check it out next.
