Yes, you're right Simon. She did have an affair with the brother so perhaps I'm in with half a chance? But then again perhaps not. Ah well. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Twoshoes Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Total Trust on iplayer, truly frightening documentary on how China uses and continues to increase its use of technology to monitor and control its people. CCTV taken to the extreme. I was left with mixed feelings about the civic pride aspect of the programme, it's one thing to monitor litter, parking etc but when again taken to the extreme it was rather worrying. I know a few people who would only be too happy to take on the power some of the people in the programme had in watching and reporting on their neighbours. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'll have to look that one up - sounds interesting! Thank you Just watched it - I've always known that the Chinese government were extremely controlling, but this is another level!

My thoughts at the end where once you've gone down that road that no matter what happens politicaly in the future there would be no going back. That was a frightening statistic, 400 million more cameras in three years. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulman58 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Starting to watch the West Wing again and it stands the test of time pretty well, given the cast. I cant help but wonder if Jed Bartlett stood as an independent now, if he would beat the 2 old codgers who are likely to be gong head to head again.

Kathryn Magson Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I've just watched Doing Money on bbc iplayer - from 2018 I think, so not a new drama - but I've only just found it. A true story that makes for compulsive viewing - very well-acted but also extremely sad, disturbing & thought-provoking. Well worth watching.

This is one of those that has been promoted ambiguously. I expected it to be about 2-tone music, early 80’s youth culture etc. There is very little music of the time, it’s actually more to do with dysfunctional people / society who happened to be involved with the IRA activities in Coventry at that time. Not a bad story once it gets going, just don’t expect The Specials etc, to make a cameo appearance. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I gave up after about 15 mins, as above not what I expected. As for things being a bit off I tend to think the writers of some dramas take a particular political stance and often ignore a more balanced view of events. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Peter99 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) There's a few bit's of stuff floating around our screens then but nothing that appears to have been really rated by many of us. I'm currently watching Bitter Daisies season 1 which I'm enjoying, happy to recommend that. It's a Spanish crime thriller on Netflix. Bitter Daisies (TV Mini Series 2018–2020) - IMDb score 7.1 Peter Just finished Season 1 - it get's better and better, so now, I'm giving it "Highly Recommended".

I liked this series, it became apparent it was made for Teens really, with the way they interspersed the relationships, but overall a really good Sci Fi series. I think the start of the series was better than the end, they managed to set the story out over several episodes, which really keeps you gripped. Wasn’t sure about how they tied the story up, but that’s inherent in allot of great stories, allot of times Hollywood doesn’t bother with a Noir ending, where actually it suits the story better... It was great how they shot the mother who was key to the story, in plain sight, she's there, but doesnt get explained until later, you would have to watech it, but a master stroke.. Ripley is good, to be honest it’s become excruciating by episode 3, which is a good sign 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
