Not surprised as they were only two episodes each - hardly a series?

Sorry to be pedantic but Cuckoos Calling was 3 episodes

but your general point re 'series' is most valid

You two are clearly just lecherous old gits. My feelings are much more refined; I'm talking about love. It may not be exclusive, but it's generous... and pure...

EDIT: Morena Baccarin... <sigh>

She was indeed. She was also in Firefly, Deadpool and Gotham, among others.

But she's mine. SHE'S MINE, DO YOU HEAR??!!!

Ok, you can have her.

She's stunning but she's too big for a little lad like me. Got that amazonian athletic figure

Natalie Portman for me

How many more of these posts before we get told off by the Thought Police! ImageImage

I'm flitting around at the moment. I got bored with Viewpoint. I think I've got so used to binge-watching that I'm looking for something that really grabs me. Anyway, I think I've found one. Coincidentally, it's another one that stars Noel Clarke.

Bulletproof (Sky One)
Detectives Bishop and Pike fight crime together on the streets of East London, sharing a similar moral code despite their drastically different backgrounds. Bishop grew up being passed around foster families, desperately looking for a father figure, while Pike's father was the first black police commissioner, whose expectations he is struggling to live up to. Their deviating approach to life has been shaping an almost unbreakable bond between the two men, and their friendship is finally put to the test.
In some ways it's a bit like a London version of Bad Boys. 3 series, 17 episodes. Of course, they've stopped working on series 4 because of Clarke's alleged indiscretions.

EDIT: I haven't fallen in love yet, but I'm quite taken with Christina Chong's figure.

Another couple of "slow burners" from ITV drama.

Deadwater Fell When a seemingly perfect and happy family is murdered by someone they knew and trusted, cracks appear on the surface of a supposedly idyllic community.

Too Close A forensic psychiatrist has to assess a woman accused of a heinous crime, who claims she can't remember a thing.
