"crystal it's only recently been announced it's not being renewed by the network, so the showrunners wouldn't have known and TBH it wasn't exactly wrapped up considering the file that HD took to Nadine. Netflix may be picking it up like they have recently picked up Lucifer and Designated Survivor."

Trevor B Yeah Jack Ryan was OK but of that 'genre' I preferred Condor. Half way trough Iron Fist season 2. Not impressed.

Sat through the first two episodes of Killing Eve. On the iPlayer. Really enjoying it. But anything with Fiona Shaw is worth watching.

Started watching Queen of the South on netflix this week Another cartel style series but with female lead. Main Character's bf gets killed by the cartel then she is sucked into working for the cartel before working her way up to leader of that cartel not quite narcos level but still a good watch

"nurse, no she looks like her but the actress is some bird called lisa emery watched a decent first episode of a doc/drama called real detective. each episode is based on a real life case using actors to dramatise the crime/investigation and the actual detective that worked on the specific case narrating in between scenes. its surprisingly good"

"Re Janet McTeer: there is a very little known film called Hawks that she is in. If you get the chance to see it (it seems to have disappeared and it was never released on DVD, unless I'm mistaken) I recommend it."
