What Are You Watching? 2025

Quicksand (2019)

Standard but reasonable 6 episode Netflix crime drama from Sweden. Traces the flashback of a girl accused of murder in a school shooting & the events between her & her rich boyfriend that led up to it. Heavy subject matter tackled including parental abuse & racial tensions in Swedish society.
 
Years and Years which I really enjoyed a few years back on BBC but went a bit under the radar from Russell T Davies is being added to Netflix with a bit of a push I see
 
Just finished Last One Laughing Ireland. Think I probably preferred the UK one overall, but that's quite possibly due to seeing it first, and being familiar with all the contestants beforehand. In the Irish one I didn't know or had very little knowledge of half of them.

Graham obviously > Jimmy Carr, and although Roisin Conaghty felt entirely superfluous, I guess she did serve a purpose in diluting Jimmy a little.

I did like the rule they brought in at the end of Ireland - booting out the ones who had caused the least laughter, as those three guys added the least to the show of the entire cast and I'd have been pissed off had any of them won. As it was we ended up with a great final two. So on balance perhaps I did prefer the Irish one after all.

Is the Australian version worth watching?
 
So last year I watched the first 1 or 2 episodes of Love & Death with one of the Olsen sisters on ITV that came on fairly late on a saturday evening I think, I then missed a few and could not for some reason log into ITV X so I had a hissy fit and BOYCOTTED it. I am now back on it and plan to carry on with it as it was really bubbling under quite well from what I remember. :disco:

It's absolute fucking filth.
 
Just Act Normal on BBC3. Excellent young cast, a very charming lover drug dealer called Dr Feelgood and a winning guest turn from Jamelia.
