^ couldn't agree more re: hard sun. McMafia, although not great, is certainly better than that.
Although Silent Witness is still the benchmark for absolute claptrap

Have you never watched game shows or blind date ????? There is far worse than Silent Witness believe me
They made Hard Sun look worth watching with the previews! Glad I wasn't the only one who fell for it.

Pretty sure he meant in the drama genre. I mean you could sink pretty low if you include all categories of TV programme. Bottom of the heap: Naked Attraction. 😆
No, but game shows/blind date aren't masquerading as anything besides light entertainment.
Silent witness pretends to be a serious, high-quality police procedural - in reality, its a pound-shop CSI, written by people who have never read any crime fiction, other than to blatantly plagiarise it. There was one last season (maybe before) that was just "strangers on a train", and I've lost count of the number of times that I've been trying to figure out who dun it, only to have a new character introduced in the last 20 mins.... turns-out, it was them. Utter garbage.
Is blind date still running?
Edit: Hey Duggee is the highlight of the BBC programming at the moment
Is it the Silent Witness episode next week where they all bugger off abroad, abandoning any forensic service in London to go and meddle in foreign police investigations?
I hope they all get thrown in a skanky jail with no hope of parole this season.

Channel 5, with Lily Savage instead of Cilla. Still awesome.*
*not watched it
As soon as I thought Semiyon Kleiman (David Strathnairn) sounded like Sergei the Meerkat I was out!

I thought he was Eddie Jordan.

That's all I was following, TBH
Not sure why we need to follow the trafficked girl
Because it added in another 3 locations to go on holiday to for the BBC film crew 🙂
Bit of an odd ending. Setup nicely for series 2 though.
The last 2 were really good. Very tense. The lead actor though, can't even remember his name, he's so non! When he was running for his life - I bet the director untucked his shirt after the first take because otherwise he would've just looked like he was jogging for a bus. So expressionless. Definitely can wait for the next series.
yeah, I would have liked to have seen Alex have a bit of a rumble with Vadim - bit of a wrestle on the carpet then brain him with an iron bar. Then Alex gets on a fishing boat and sails off to Ankara to open a Turkish Bath / casino / crypto-currency laundering shop.
Thankful for no stupid ending though (despite having stupid ending written all over it), just an ascendancy to top-dog in his 'new economic world', walking over his Mexican mate in the process and heeding Vadim's call that he needs to isolate himself.
walking over his Mexican mate
Was he ever his mate?
