    I highly recommend the police procedural "Bosch" which is on Amazon Prime if you have access to it. Based on the books of the same name written by Michael Connelly. There are a number of seasons and the main star, Titus Welliver is cold, broody and perfect for the role.:D I was gutted when I finished the series!:(

    If half as good as the books then definitely worth a watch.

    I thought it was excellent. I hope that if they can't make more full series, some once off movies would be a treat.

    * This is not a criticism of Bosch, just a general view:
    Everything these days seems to be series series series but some stories work best in 90 - 120 minutes.
    In the 80s and 90s we had the opposite problem, of books being shredded to fit into film length with no time to breathe or develop complexity.

    "Us" - adapted from David Nicholls' book - starts on 20 Sept on BBC One.
    With Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves.
    I have read the book only about a month ago and enjoyed it - wonder if it will do it justice - I will be watching it

    That David Tennent series, 'Des' starts next week on Virgin Media One. It looks very good, albeit chilling!

    I know theres a few David Tennant fans on here so his new drama 'Des' about the notorious serial killer Dennis Nielsen starts tonight at 10.00pm.
    Its probably already been on ITV but havent seen it yet myself, looking forward to it as I tend to like David Tennant's stuff.

    Yes because similar to BGT it took a break before the live shows in case COVID was going to go away. But that didn’t work....

    Each to their own. I like the light entertainment shows nothing too heavy I find they help me switch off and relax without having to be too invested in them.

    Normally im not either, but with so little new content atm any port in a storm.

    Actually enjoying the masked singer atm, we watch it with the kids and get a laugh from it. Normally I'd never bother.

    Am like this at times as well. Not a reality tv fan either so that's why I like things like Death in Paradise. Is easy watching and you don't have to concentrate too hard.

    I caught the end of the Christmas special and thought was only a once-off.


    Also saw that This Is Going To Hurt has been adapted for screen and will air in BBC Two, release date still TBC although I saw it as: early 2021.
    Would def watch it as loved the book.

    Read his other one 'The Nightshift before Christmas' before Christmas (that sounds odd as I write it) and its a great read.

    Haven't read the first one but have it on my tablet, so must get around to it soon.
