Never mind the subtleties, it's the subtitles that make it easier.

It looks a bit 'rubbish' - shan't bother even though I like Star Trek.

Finally finished GOT.
Done in now. Not a massive fan, it's OK and feel like I've lost hours of my life... hang on, I have.
At least it's been streamed when the weather has been bad.

We liked that one too. Although I wasn't as keen on Derry girls. I tend to think generally that celtic based dramas are often grittier and more entertaining. Maybe it's because I'm Anglo Saxon and the southeast-centric ones seem a bit samey
Only watched the first episode of Small Prophets at the weekend as a family, and we liked it very much.
Nice to see Palin on screen in n acting capacity.
Two brilliant foreign series I must bring to your attention.
On C4 we have The Ring - incredibly good imho.
I was initially surprised it was 10 episodes, and couldn't figure out how they were going to make it last that long, but it was a very complex and well spun web of mysteries, intrigue and deceit.
HIGHLY recommended.
After about the 6th episode, I formulated a theory I was pretty confident about, as to who the culprit or culprits were, but I was completely wrong
I genuinely did not see the ending coming, but I may be on my own in that respect.
Actors were top notch I thought, as were the characters, and the script.
Significantly different from your average police drama.
9/10 for me.
Next up we have on ITVX a French drama this time, one I had seen mentioned a while back in other countries, but it would seem has only recently become available in the UK, and that is Piste Noire, or black run.
Only two of the 6 episodes in so far, but really enjoying it, beautiful scenery, and plenty of intrigue and shady goings on.
The Mayor is a well known French actor, and has been in MANY series on WP, and the pro skiers wife to be is also the Duchess from the Invisibles series which I may have mentioned further up this thread.
The main actor (Constance Labbé) is utterly brilliant in her role, self assured, feisty, and can totally look after herself.
She's also unfathomably beautiful, she just has something intangible about her, for me at any rate.
It could be a bit irritating the relationship she has with the embedded and father figure style older cop, but it's done very well I feel, and to me comes across as really natural.
8/10 for me so far.

Never seen it but if the protagonist is still a rookie after 8 series, they should consider a career change.

And a whole lot of very short, very similar actresses.
Totally unrealistic but watchable with brain in neutral.
