Yes. Watched first two so far. Agree with your view on it.
It’s an anxious watch, mainly.

My other half stopped watching for that very reason. When the young lad is left with the baby 
I couldn’t cope with the first series - every cop show cliche in the book plus “faux Mod sprinkle” Martin Freeman who just annoys me these days for no reason.

If you fancy a laugh, watch About the Young Idea, The Jam documentary, and marvel at teeny tiny Martin Freeman walking down the street trying to look cool. I watched it on my phone coming back from NY last week and I woke the girl up in the seat next to me laughing 
EDIT. In fact here’s a GIF I made of it

Starting The Jinx Part Two on HBO tonight.
I genuinely can’t remember what happened in the first series, it’s been so long.

The Baby Reindeer interview last night
Exploiting a clearly deranged human being, just for the purposes of entertainment.
Shame on you YouTube for not getting Piers Morgan the help he so desparately needs.

All Good Things with Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst is pretty much based on Robert Durst’s story. It’s a decent enough film!

I finished Shögun. That’s going to come top of all the end of the year lists, I’m sure. Beautiful, poetic and quietly affecting. The production values were top quality. I just loved the atmosphere of it, and without going into spoilers it didnt wrap up the way you thought it would. l’ve seen it be accused of being frustrating for that but i thought it was the correct choice and in-keeping with the tone of the show. Really brilliant series and so well done

I’m not that much of a poetry person, so I was surprised at how much I enjoyed some of the haikus and their use at key moments to set the scene.

Totally agree. Will go back and watch end to end as I felt I missed some nuance watching one episode a week.

Yeah stoked! We have just re-watched the lot, so perfect timing.
Attack On Wembley. Netflix
I’ve said it for years but there’s nothikg like football for bringing out the whoppers en masse.
How a few lads having a day out on the sniff turned very ugly indeed. Raises some disturbing questions about backwards attitudes just under the surface of our society, and while a mob of Neanderthals were definitely the cause of this chaos the doc doest ask any questions about why there were so many weak spots at the stadium for an event like this, or why there was such a low police presence until it had already kicked off.
