"Watching Les Rois Maudits on youtube. French TV dramatised it twice, and both are available, both with or without subtitles. It's about French history at roughly the same time as the Wars of the Roses. If you don't like Gerard Depardieu, he gets burnt alive half an hour in. The books were supposed to be one of the influences on Game of Thrones, but I've never seen GoT, so I can't comment on that view. I'm watching the 2005 version."

I put the subtitles on English programmes due to the horrific mumblyness of modern thesps. That won't bother me.

I watched Tin Star season 3 yeah. It's turned into an utter utter farce. It's somewhat enjoyable but you have to just go with it as they've basically all turned into assassins running around Liverpool shooting guns everywhere with absolutely no consequences from the police who all seem to not care. Weird season

Is Your Honor getting a bit far fetched? I'll stick with it though. Through esp 6 so still a bit of catch up.

"Up to the end of series 3 with Line of Duty. Of course it is good, but I wouldn't class it as real top draw, and is a little repetitive, will have a break before the 4th series. Glad Dot is out of it, fucking vile cսnt. I note they never use the term 'the nick' but I suppose that's all a bit 80's, Regan, Burnside, etc. Gonna watch this 'Spotless'."
