4 eps into Paradise, S2.  Takes a while to get going but a decent watch, if you've watched S1.  If you haven't, you wont have a scooby as to what is going on.

No stick with it. Lots of thing unravel ref the murder and old school connections. 

Btw on Wiki it says Moyer supports West Ham. That's my boy. 
I just saw it as a "Was it him or was it her set up" with the victims husband thrown in for good measure. 
I'd say you are maybe on the right track. I'm only up to ep 4 so nothing clear yet. 
Just finished the series of His &b Hers and a good ending.

What I do recommend is His & Hers a really good murder thriller set in the Georgia woodlands.

Yes he's a very good actor. Claire Danes was a bit manic and OTT as usual like she was in Homeland again. Overall though good TV.

Dirty Business on C4, a drama doc about how our water companies are killing fish, wildlife, and children, with their dumping of sewage.  It's up there with the Post Office scandal.  Corporate greed is more important than lives.

I live right next to the river in question and I had no idea as to what was being put in it, but it perhaps explains why my dog has two heads.

Seriously though, give it a watch and then refuse to pay your water bill until they become responsibly compliant.

Karima McAdams is very beautiful. 
Will have a look at that, first one was OK and am a fan of Alba.

Half way through Industry, still find it slow but enough good 'bits' in it to just about keep my interest. Yasmin is a bit of a sort.

Swiss. wrote: 09 Feb 2026, 16:28 btw The Knight of The Seven Kingdoms is a total yawn fest. Rather watch paint dry. 
Thought they're actually quite funny, only watched a couple so far though. As long as you're not expecting it to be Game of Thrones in depth and action you'll probably enjoy it
I'm not expecting GoT but I still want to be entertained.
