We're just getting into North Shore on ITV/ITVX, which stars Joanne Froggatt - two episodes down, 4 more to watch and probably going to binge tomorrow.

Have you tried The Twelve? There are two series, both starring Sam Neill, courtroom dramas that are very involving, especially Series 2.

Yes, I can recommend North Shore.

Just watched the Pope’s Exorcist with Russell Crowe
Oh dear, was it not good?
Russell is a very versatile actor but I'm not keen on psychological dramas.

I posted this recommendation for The Breakthrough a few days ago, it is brilliant. (Subtitled).

I've just finished watching Hidden Assets on BBC I player. Two series set in Ireland and Belgium.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed that series too

You can't beat Slow Horses on Apple. Brilliant performances all round.

Just watched the Pope’s Exorcist with Russell Crowe - horror but it’s a bit dull- don’t think it comes anywhere near the original film The Exorcist from the 70s - Don’t think Russell will do a part 2… it was soo bad
But hopefully The Conclave will be streaming soon as do like some of the actors

Have seen the Twelve - very good
Day of the Jackal- fantastic
Cra- great
Will give North Shore a try

If you don't mind subtitles we have just watched Cra on iplayer. It's an Irish language crime drama. Enjoyed it.

We have just finishing watching The day of the Jackal . Absolutely amazing 10 episodes in this first series and a second one to come. Eddie Redmayne is the Jackal and the detective chasing him is a black actress who I didn’t recognise but she is brilliant too

Any recommendations for a bit of escapism or good nail biting dramas?
Have just watched MISSING on Netflix ..very good with a daughter using her tech savvy skills tries to find her mom who goes missing on a holiday with a new boyfriend…
