The Disappearance of Madeleine McCann is now available, which I’m sure will generate a little bit of debate elsewhere on PH.
Watching this now. Dogs don’t lie wink

Turn up Charlie - don’t bother. I’m going to have to rewatch five seasons of Luther if I’ve even a vague hope of rekindling my bromance with Idris Elba. You could have been Bond and you chose that? Piper Perabo remains as smoking hot as ever mind.

Black Earth Rising.

Only up to ep. 4 but absolutely brilliant Greene/ Le Carre esque political thriller.

Can we have a Ricky Gervais thread elsewhere?

I can't fking stand him or anything he's in.
I don’t like him as a rule but Afterlife is fantastic TV. REALLY funny in places and incredibly heartfelt in others.
+1

Verging on the thought provoking at times.

I binge watched the Formula One series last night, still got three episodes to go.

The first took a while to get going, but the subsequent episodes were really good and informative.

I had the good fortune to work as a secondment to Team Lotus back in 1992, how things have changed....

I stumbled across that on Friday and ended up watching the lot. Felt like it had moments of Kevin & Perry. Pretty sure the Ibiza apartment is the same property.

Idris wants to get into music though. He actually has a song out... https://youtu.be/huaE85-V8u4

Watched about half some really strong episodes and a few not so, but really entertaining, some ones you could make a series off

Dirty John - not really feeling it. Like watching the OC. The wife can't act for st (every time she is confronted about John's behaviour she just does this same confused/sad look). Eric Bana is decent but he can't carry the whole thing for me.

A lot of you seem to love it, so fair enough!
If you listen to the Podcasts, I think Connie Britton actually plays a decent part, the real life Debbie seems very naive in terms of being streetwise and too trusting (obviously!) so maybe she has the character down to a tee.

It's worth sticking with until the end especially if you don't know how it turns out, and again having listened to the podcasts, it seems pretty accurate to the actual events.

Agreed Gary. I watched the documentary immediately after the last episode of the dramatization, and it struck me as remarkable how well the actress had played the part of Debra, even down to mannerisms. And this is the whole point: it's hard to believe someone is so naïve and trusting in real life, but she was. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Formula 1 drive to survive

I maybe very late to the party, the best documentary I’ve seen on F1 in recent times. Insightful and thought provoking.

Watched Triple Frontier lastnight...

Good soundtrack, but I think Isaacs was miss-cast...and it's difficult to empathise with characters who make some increasingly bad decisions in various situations, not what you would expect from decorated and highly trained ex-military (to my mind at least).

The ending also really didn't sit too well with me.

Watchable, but has a few flaws.
This

Enjoyed it though, passed a night.
It takes 45min if rubbish to get going. Rest us decent.

I watched this earlier this evening. I liked it at the time but the more I've thought about it the more a lot of it didn't make any logical sense. A bit like The Game with Michael Douglas.
