Strike. Do all private eyes have to have quirky names. Cormaran Strike! Nice plot, and only 2 episodes. Not too taxing.
Nice chemistry between Tom Burke and Holiday Grainger, who both turned in good performances.

Gotham (S3) - signed up for a free month on Netflix to get this as Channel 5 still aren't showing any signs of airing it. Loved the first two series of this and S3 is just as good. Three episodes in and I'm hooked (again)
Im a huge Batman fan but really struggled to get into Gotham. I watched most of season one but it went on hiatus and I didn't go back.

I really enjoyed most of Strike, but the overcomplicated plots grated a little. It was almost like it was trying to be a bit too clever.

I genuinely think it's one of the best shows on the box, but we all like different things. Up to Ep.8 now. :okay:

Glitch, the Australian supernatural/bad-science thing turned out OK, a third series could happen, but I wouldn't mind if it doesn't. The finale of series two wrapped everything up quite nicely.

Also watched a 70s kid's ghost story called Come Back Lucy; low budget, poor production, bad acting, zero SFX yet still managed to be a bit creepy.

I felt the same way about the first two seasons - far too concerned with foreshadowing the origins of the characters. But season 3 is a step above, imo, even finding a way to parlay the endless repetition of Bruce's origin story into a plot point.

The Crown. On Netflix. OK I have a crush on Claire Foy but I'm watching on a sort of "Know thine enemy" basis, given either Phil the Greek or Her Madge will soon shuffle off and the whole world will go mad as a result.

Tin Star - continuing to watch, up to Ep 5 now and I've got to say it's gone off the boil a bit. Hopefully just a mid-season blip and it's been good enough so far to justify sticking with it.

Also watched the first of the new run of Escape to the Chateau and much as I liked the original series this one isn't working. A bit too much manufactured drama with crisis in the offing but averted at the last minute - phew! Worth another look next week I suppose.
