Television, drug of the nation

Just started on The Assassination of Giani Versace (BBC2), excellent so far, has a feel of People vs OJ. Great cast too, one actor in particular I’d never have guessed.

Ricky Martin?

I thought Donatella would be made up with Penny Cruz playing her

The transvestite Donatella was much more convincing.

The Rain on Netflix.
Watching 1st episode and looks quite good.

Yep. Should have put a spoiler alert on this :)

How's the identity of one of the actors a spoiler?

I’m after a series recommendation. My wife like the Scandi-noir things, The Bridge, The Killing etc.
What else is like that? Doesn’t need to be Scandi.

If you've not seen it then Spiral definitely recommended

Arne Dahl?
A/some series were on BBC4, might be on iPlayer?

How on earth did I manage to miss hearing anything about The Expanse until ScyFi cancelled it?

Glad to hear that Amazon has taken it on though.

Just started Series 2 and loving the nerdy space combat.

'Oh we've got spaceships but in battles, we'll still just nuke you or fill you full of lead bullets.'

Same reason it got canceled; because nobody watched it.

Fuck The Expanse.

Bring back Firefly.

Firefly was so shiny

Bring back Firefly.

It's a tragedy. At least they also made a solid movie.

Fuck Firefly.
Bring back Clangers.

nah j/k lets stick with Expanse

Bring back Clangers.

They already did, didn't they?

Did you watch Under/Below/Beneath the Surface?

It was Danish and had a lot of the same tropes as The Bridge/The Killing - the fear of terrorism, the legacy of Danish military intervention, the role of the media, etc.

Whoever recommended The Terror: Thank You.

It's fantastic, isn't it? Thinking of rewatching it.
