Presumed Innocent stsrted yesterday starring Jake Gylenhall as a prosecutor about to get involved with the death of a fellow colleague. So far looks ok.

I watched all 3 and can’t get past the fact he deliberately brings suspicion on himself where actually explaining would help. Disappointed

Sorry to whinge but too many spoilers in this thread too soon after release of new shows.

dark matter was spoilt before the episode even aired!

Haven’t got that far yet. One thing I did notice was how soft the ficus is.

Drops of God.

French - Japanese wine tasting/family/inheritance drama.

Very enjoyable. 8.5/10 Chateaneuf du Papes.

Can't see where anyone has discussed the story.

I’m about halfway through the Dark Matter book and it’s cracking along at quite a pace so it’s disappointing to read here that the adaptation is another Invasion style snoozefest…

Shame because it seems the sort of story that would translate well to the small screen…

The pacing felt better suited to a film to me.

Dunno if I can arsed to be mired in befuddlement for 8 hours in search of an eventual payoff at the moment.

I know it’s highly regarded here but that’s what annoyed me about Severence…

I'm with you on that. The way they drag it out just makes me think about how the producers of Lost strung people along for years when they clearly had not idea how to finish it.

A vaguely repeat post but slow horses is a great show. Just watched season (series, please let’s be English) 3 and it was great.

It makes me sad for the bbc and the licence fee as that is exactly what I expect them to produce. Awesome drama.

thing is the BBC can produce something like this (BLUE LIGHTS for example) but its few and far between, and then they flog it for all its worth on every single part of the BBC (radio, player, one show, news etc etc) so you end up getting sick of it....

the sooner the bbc is subscription the better, i'd happily pay a reduced license fee for some Radio and News, and another subscription fee as and when i want to watch something on iPlayer.

I’d much rather have that option. At least it’s my choice

Dark Matter - episode 8

I don't know how I feel about this. Either it's a stroke of genius (possible) or the writers have just taken away the single thing we were all rooting for.

This is an exceptional series.

Thanks for the mention

[CoolHands]

Watching presumed innocent which is kind of ok (1/2 way though Ep2) but problem is I can’t warm to Jake Gylenhall so he just isn’t really believable to me, and I don’t / can’t care about him :/ so not a good combo as don’t care if he gets shafted or not!

[rider73]

tbh i've just cancelled apply - i've had it for a year now and watched everything and nothing seems to be coming back in a hurry that I like - the new stuff seems pretty generic and when I start something new, it doesnt grip me..... or i discover when i click WATCH NOW i have to pay for it - i find netflix has a broader range of stuff that i can dig out and discover and know I dont have to pay anything else.

[funinhounslow]

That’s exactly what I do - I’m currently “taking a break” and will jump back in when the latest series of For All Mankind or Slow Horses comes out.

Then scour this thread for other recommendations

I don’t mind the slow rate of new releases as long as they keep the quality up - which they seem to be doing…
