TV series discussion {'ware Spoiler Alert}

Came to say that we just binged watched Dept Q. A "tartan noir", based on a cold case police drama. Give the first episode some time but I wasn't hooked by the end of it.

We loved it. Can't wait for the 2nd series.

Sorry. I meant I was hooked. Off to edit

Edit. I WAS hooked

Same here. Started watching it travelling last week and binged the finish on the weekend. Thought the first 2 episodes were slow and then it was great.
Thanks for whoever made the first recommendation for it here

The Better Sister on Prime was much better than I expected

I am bingeing it now
I anticipate a twister in the final episode

Phew. We have two episodes to go. Spacing out the suspense.

I can’t bring myself to watch Squid Games. Am I missing something?

Can't answer your question.
Even if I am missing something I can't bring myself to watch it.

I can’t bring myself to watch Squid Games. Am I missing something?

The first season was fun. I started to watch season 2 on a flight and never got back to it as Id forgotten who some of the people were due to the 3 year wait between season 1 and 2. I will get back to it at some stage, probably need to rewatch season 1 first.

Personally, I am looking forward to Dexter Resurrection (Paramount +) next week and season 2 of Wednesday (Netflix). My guilty pleasure recently was season 3 of Ginny & Georgia (Netflix).

For some light comic relief I also enjoyed season 2 of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee.

I enjoyed S1, but have held off watching S2 as - per my understanding - there wasn't a conclusion as such, and it will instead be concluded in the 3rd and final season. S1 did reach a conclusion, so you can watch that one in isolation for now to see if you enjoy it.

If you enjoy dystopian thrillers/dramas, you'll likely enjoy Squid Game.

Cheat review – a chilling drama, perfect for a cold snap

This box-ticking thriller sees a Cambridge university lecturer and her utterly believably threatening student locked in mortal combat over – what exactly?

I binged it a few days ago whilst the east coast low was raging outside. It pleasantly filled a few hours.
I also rewatched Douglas is Cancelled and enjoyed it the second time around.

I passed this recommendation on to my daughter, as she has to deal with AI at NTL Uni.

Sadly Australian actor Julian McMahon passed away from cancer today. He was excellent in The Residence (although I did think he looked unwell).
RIP
