    He was subsequently released and the police arrested one of her neighbours, who subsequently confessed to the crime.

    This two-parter covers the arrest and the following events, which became front and centre in the Leveson Inquiry into phone hacking and media ethics.

    The performance by the lead, Jason Atkins, is simply stunning - he could be the bloke's twin.

    Well worth a watch for that alone.

    It won two BAFTA's, for best miniseries and best leading actor (which must have been a shoo in).

    8/10

    Just excellent! Atkins is phenomenal, and the 8/10 is well-deserved based on his performance alone.

    You must be confused. It's about (as in future time) to be incorporated.

    Well, other than sneaky betting activities I certainly wouldn't want to watch any movie or tv downloads on my mobile or even yours.

    Works on tablets. Handy to watch sport when you're out of the office or house.

    And anyway, Browsec in Chrome is easy for getting round blocks on the PC.

    Opera is a pile of shite.

    Could be right there. But if it's free and fast might be a useful addition to be used when the occasion requires.

    Finally some decent comedies: Veep & Silicon Valley are back. I watched 'em both last night & they were funny as fuck. Veep has been paticularly excellent the last couple seasons IMO.

    It hasn't even started filming yet, but I'm recommending this because the wankers on Fox and Friends were almost crying.

    Deadpool is on YIFY. Worth a watch if you turn your brain off and if you're a juvenile like me.

    I started watching it with very low expectations. But, it's not bad. The plots and subplots develop well, and there are some interesting twists. Kind of a female OZ. 6.5

    Just watched this season's 2nd episode of Game of Thrones. Once again, all black...nighttime, dark rooms, dark dungeons - really sucked. That's 0/2 for this season. I'm throwing in the towel.

    Whoever recommended 'Triple 9', thank you very much. I thought the film could have been a little longer but a good film anyway.

    I know I was a bit late to the party but I just finished watching 'Making A Murderer' on Netflix last night.

    Fascinating and gripping documentary series.

    There are also WAY too many completely separate plot-points to keep up with- we've got (excuse the spelling) Tyrian's, Daenerys', Cersei's, Arya's, Sansa's, Ramsay's, Bran's, Jon Snow's, Ironborn, House Martell/Dorn, and I'm sure a few others I'm missing, all crammed into a 10-episode (of about 45-minutes each) season.

    I'm still going to watch, but they've got to pull it together a bit. I'm sure that's the goal, but it makes for a plot that's way too convoluted and disjointed- I want more than a couple of minutes each week with Arya's plot-line, i.e., but that's all we've (literally) gotten so far.
    There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

    A (small) part of the reason I stopped watching it to save up for an epic binge-watch.

    Maybe easier to keep up that way.

    ^ I love GOT. It is all that depth that makes it so good to watch. You have to pay attention and its not a bad idea to rewatch episodes for thing you may have missed.

    ^

    I'm fine with the 'in depth' immersive aspect, but there's just not enough time to devote to each storyline (the season will be less than eight hours total to advance at least ten complicated plots)- episodes should be closer to two hours each, though that would likely be prohibitively expensive for HBO. What I don't like is the 'two minutes here, three minutes there' approach that's been indicative of the first two episodes of this season.
