Anyone else watching?

Must say I am very, very impressed so far and it has received excellent reviews.

I think you'll love it. Brooding and atmospheric.

Did you like the Night Manager? Similar sort of vibe in some ways.

Really enjoyed it.
According to an article in todays Guardian it's a very accurate portrayal of how money laundering works which is quite scary!

Yeah, up until that point I was considering letting my daughter watch it.

Highly recommended it, Daz.

My missus says the Russians in it are famous actors over there for the most part.

Really well acted and quite gripping.

there has to be a certain amount of risk involved in delving that deeply into these peoples affairs! I wouldn't bother myself!
2nd episode was very good as well. Looking forward to next weeks.

How did you do that exactly?

When I looked in iPlayer it only had the three episodes that have been shown. Didn't see any boxset option.

I think that's what he meant Otis, he binged all 3.
If he comes back and tells us they are all on there that's my evening sorted!

Yeah, it was just the 'whole lot' that threw me.

It's the sort of show I could binge watch and view back to back, cos it simmers and brews as it develops.

Thank God for that.

Had drafted up a 23 page angry letter to the BBC complaining as to why the box set wasn't available in my area!!

Luckily I didn't press send.

Wow! Tension cranked up to 11 on a. Spinal Tap amp.

Great episode where not that much actually seemingly happens.
