I've just started watching Gotham, it's pretty good and written (some episodes) and produced by Bruno Heller the guy behind the Mentalist.
S1 was very good - especially the cinematography - but I got bored of S2. It would have worked better as shorter 10-12 episode seasons as it did feel very dragged out.

Still on season 1 myself, but so far so good, I like the fact it's not too "super hero" heavy and more of a crime drama (light), it's got a decent level of maturity, killing etc, so not aimed at kids. I also like to try and guess whose going to end up as the "named Dc characters"

Just watched T Rex...documentary about Claressa Shields, USA female boxer who competed at London 2012 at just 17. If you like sports documentaries you'll love this.

It is better in my opinion. It is 1080p has far as I know and on my TV it looks far superior to Sky and Freeview HD.
I don't have Sky so can't comment on that but I agree with you that the HD on Netflix is better than the HD on Freeview. It just depends on what you are watching. Netflix is as good as the HD channels on BT TV and some of them are a little better than the Freeview HD channels. I will say though that wildlife documentaries look fine in HD on the BBC.
70% of my TV viewing now tends to be HD.

Designated person (?) ft Kiether Sutherland looks good - slight nod to 24 so if you like 24 this might be worth a watch. Terrorists, presidents, politics etc...

Not sure in the nhs / jack duckworth glasses though

Has anyone started watching the new documentary about Amanda Knox? There is a lot of controversy surrounding it. Documentary receives mixed reviews

Watched two brilliant films this week, The Big Short and The Siege Of Jadotville.

Didn't really have any expectations for The Siege Of Jadotville but it was fantastic.

I watched The Siege of Jadotville last night. Great film! Though, I was more amazed that I had never heard about it before considering it was based on a true story. Hopefully, Ireland and their forces will get a bit more recognition for their actions after this.

I've also started watching Designated Survivor, mainly just because I was a huge 24 fan (Kiefer Sutherland). Despite there often being slightly 'cheap' moments, I'm enjoying it and would recommend. I think it's far from being a top show but it's an intriguing storyline, and a very easy watch.

Need some recommendations for things to watch on Netflix please. I have recently enjoyed The Killing, Bloodline, Narcos, Breaking Bad. Also watched the documentaries Holy Hell, Who Took Johnny and the Amanda Knox one. Don't like sci-if or vampire stuff.

Anyone seen The Good Wife? Was thinking of giving that a go.

Thanks in advance.

As you seem to be into crime stuff, Dexter (but don't bother after season 4), Hannibal (more crime based than horror based, but don't watch if you're squeamish) and Making A Murderer.

Maybe you give the whole scandinavian crime series a chance.
I havenīt seen one of them but always read good Reviews.
Lillyhammer is an Netflix, maybe one could tell us his experience with that Show.
Iīm not so convinced from that scandinavian Shows.

Thank you, was thinking of giving Dexter a watch so will definitely put that on my list. Hadn't thought of Hannibal, I'm not squeamish in the slightest so shall try that also. Have seen Making A Murderer already - can't get that one out of my head, had me shouting at the TV in disbelief!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Yeh it does that, and every episode is good so far.

Actually I didnt like Dexter lol....thought it was a bit OTT.

Another good one know one talks about much is Skinwalkers: The Navajo Mysteries. Its basically 3 films, detective native american, kind of grisly in bits lol but great viewing.
