    Canal+ has a few interesting French series, apparently quite good

    Braco, Engrenages

    Also quite liked "Les Hommes de L'ombre", but probably too French for non locals

    I've watched the first two, which were excellent. You have a link for Les Hommes? With hardcoded Eng subs?

    A new Scandinavian offering from Sweden, "Modus", currently airing on BBC4 on Saturday nights. There are 8 episodes, and appears to be a 'why dunnit' rather than a 'who dunnit'.

    First 2 episodes from the reliable 'Sno' here:

    Only two to go. After the last few reveals, I'm rather intrigued to see how they wrap.

    Westworld E09 was excellent almost trippy, worth putting up with a few weak episodes for ..
    Even Anthony Hopkins played his part well

    and Delorus was as lovely as ever .

    A 3 part offering from the BBC, "Rillington Place" is a biography-drama about 1940s serial killer Reg (AKA John) Christie begins as a grim two-hander, looking at his gaslighting and intimidation of his wife Ethel, who deduces he is a deviant but can’t find the courage to report or abandon him.

    Tim Roth is superb as the calmly brazen manipulator, with Samantha Morton also strong in a difficult role: the stark direction and script leave Ethel’s underlying psychology – which prevents her from saving herself – indistinct.

    More of the background to the circumstances here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Christie_(murderer)

    First episode download:

    Watched the first episode....Compelling viewing. The hanging of innocent Timothy Evans, is one which will always haunt the British legal system.

    Got about halfway through Anthropoid. It was hard work or maybe I was in the wrong mood.

    Anyway got to the assassination scene and the escape on a bicycle and I thought "Wait a minute I've seen this before"

    And I have Operation Daybreak (1975). If one enjoyed Anthropoid one might consider watching it for comparison.
    Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
    I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.

    ^ I would have thought the assassination of Heydrich should have received attention long ago.

    Along with Derek Bentley and Ruth Ellis, his execution led to the abolition of the death penalty.

    I'm sure the pikey is quite aware that plenty of other pikies would have been swinging from the rafters otherwise, and with good cause.

    Episode 3 of the Grand Tour available on PB.
    A good show. IMO the best yet.

    I watched 'High Rise' this afternoon.




    Adapted from the novel by JG Ballard.

    All well done, but a rather predictable Ballard dystopia.

    Quality acting from the likes of Irons and Hiddleston though.

    7/10
