Just finished power, was fucking brilliant

Anyone watch Protection, typical police drama, watchable but  nothing special. 
 

Leading woman just not that credible in the role I thought. 

Spot on this. So-so series. Poor casting for lead actress, great though she is in the right role.

Started the Cardinal series again. Started once before but got distracted. Further in now and getting more interesting. Four series' to get through with Canadians saying 'oat' for 'out'.

The victims are a bit on the 'graphic' side. Might give a certain kind of loon ideas.

No one has mentioned 'This City Is Ours'. Thought it really good. A BBC drama free of social comment or political 'influencing' is very refreshing. When they do this, no other drama production company comes close IMO.

Shouldn't have said this. A multi ethnic gay club with Nancy Pelosi posters everywhere is likely to pop up in a coming episode.

6/10 for protection. Could have been a lot better. I’m currently watching Gangs of London and that’s less far fetched than protection!

Oi @bolty58 I mentioned it before it started 

Also enjoyed mate, really good. 

Could see a second to with how it ended 

Does Sean Bean put on a Scouse accent?

Bang on the money. We said the same. Watching her running and being a bit “action woman” was all a bit shite. Plus her hairstyle bugged me. 5/10.

Season 3 is flat in both instances! Storyline not been as good as previous 2. And all the birds are titless.

Got going a bit the other night. Sibling wank action. Plenty of shagging. Guns, etc.

Missed it pal. I must apologise. I'm usually watching like a hawk for recommendations from the good people of WWays.

One of the funniest men alive, Bob Mortimer.

The show is very funny, but there are bits that aren't that funny where I think the participants are faking trying to not laugh out of politeness.

I watched the whole series today, well apart from the 2 episodes I slept through. 
 

bit disappointed tbh.

Was thinking the same. Seems a great bloke. Funny? Not that much.

Watched third series of True Detective this week , enjoyed it but not sure it needed 8 episodes. I know it is an oldie. 

watched the 1% club last night, why have I never watched this before? 

I got pretty far in to, might apply for it

Best 'quiz' type show on TV. Lee Mack brings an extra dimension.

By comparison, the Aussie one is pants.

I stumbled across Tenable with Warwick Davies on Challenge the other night

Never heard of it before, seems to be about 2018/19

Similar vibes to Who Dares Wins 

Love it

Had to re-read it to be sure that you hadn't stumbled over Warwick Davies.

Sickened.
