Don't know if previously posted but Labyrinth of Lies is an outstanding film, explaining the German silent conspiracy to understate the Nazi atrocities in particular those at Auschwitz. All the more powerful being made in Germany with German actors.

The story set in the Sixties, expands the horizons of a young public prosecutor given the task of bringing to book concentration camp guards and the obstacles he has to overcome in his task, not least of which is lack of knowledge of what happened at these camps.

I was unaware of this "silent conspiracy" and the film was educational, entertaining and inspiring.

An excellent watch

i liked LOL as well, very interesting.

in a naive way you think things that should be straightforward are not undertaken.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but started watching Designated Survivor. Kiefier Sutherland is in it. Can see bits of 24 in it.

Really enjoying it so far. Shame it's only a episode a week though.

Someone at work suggested I watch it, and I've now caught up to the latest episode. I find it very watchable, although it's easy to see the plot points comming a mile off.

We watched a 3-parter that was originally aired on ITV called The Widower, with Reece Shearsmith. It was very good, telling the (true) story of this guy who married and killed his first wife, and then attempted to do it again with two other woman over a 16 year period, for their life insurance money.

Worth watching if you haven't already seen it, it's only 3x45 minute episodes.

Fauda

Israeli drama series. Follows a special ops team hunting a Palestinian terrorist.

It's good. Plays it well from both sides of the fence.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency has just appeared. Not sure about this one yet...
Bit odd, trying to like it, but Bart Curlish is superb.
It's very 'out there' but I'm hooked after 3 episodes.

Agree about Bart - she's awesome smile

The AO - Just finished the series. Quite thought provoking. I think it deserves its own thread on here to discuss in finer detail.

A bit late to the party I know but I am 3 episodes in Narcos.

I feel in danger of giving up. It's a bit, um, dull at the moment. Should I stick with it?

Im sad to say I gave up about half way through the first season. Didnt hook me at all despite everyone else going mental about it.

For me it was high quality, solid, informative entertainment...the same from beginning to end, no real lows or high points. It's not high energy 'must-see' TV IMO.
If you think it's dull now, it won't get any more exciting.

I normally love stuff like that (eg. Breaking Bad), but for some reason it didnt work. Perhaps I wasnt in the mood back then and will re-visit over xmas smile
