It's brilliant!! Hope you enjoy it.

Watching Bad Education at the moment - 2 episodes in to season 3 (only 6 per season). Little bit of nostalgia from catching the odd episode when it was first released, but I haven't seen it all before and absolutely loved it so far. Sense of humour just really tickles me, and there are bits of the writing that just remind me of my own school days so much. Have to say season 3 feels a bit different to 1 and 2 - different style of dialogue and jokes maybe, a few political references, and I'm not quite so keen on it. Still enjoyable so far.

I just finished Clarkson's Farm and have to say, it's actually a really good watch. I see S2 is filming now too.

I've only watched episode 1 but I was surprised how good it was. Some great visuals in it.

That 2007 series was later made into a 4 season US version called "The Killing" (2011) - we watched and enjoyed those. Not see the original tho, will need to take a look at that one.

The original one is absolutely stunning in comparison to the American one.
So much better in every single way.

Thanks
We remember watching "The Bridge" that also was very good. There were several remakes of that, from various countries.
We now have "The Killing, 2007" bookmarked to watch on the iPlayer. I do wish that they would note how long they intend them to be available for. I suppose we had better get on with it.

Just finished Season 1 and thought that was really good.

I find it hard to watch remakes if the original is good. Also they tend to make far worse versions 9 times out of 10. The US version does get good reviews though, so I might check it out at some point.

I started with the American The Killing and then discovered they were showing the subtitled version.
When I switched to that, there was basically no looking back!

Just started watching the new BrianCoxorama, 'universe'. As with most Brian Cox programs it's pretty disappointing what a cursory view he gives of the subject matter, with the focus of the show being on looking pretty and watching Brian walk around a rainforest in slow motion etc rather than explaining things properly. Still, Tbf, the visuals are generally nice.
I think this one takes the BrianCoxification of things a bit further than previous documentaries though, with more 'poetic' bumf in the script talking about how stars are gods and we don't need any made-up gods as a result (that bit did actually surprise me how bluntly he said it), and music and art give the universe meaning etc.
I'm pretty sure there were some misleading statements / factual errors in episode 1 too.
Part way through episode 2 now, will probably watch the rest as casual viewing when I can't be bothered concentrating too hard on anything.

Usually I lets shows finish a season and then watch them all through, but I'm following along with a few things are the moment - The Blacklist, New Amsterdam, SEAL Team, Succession, Foundation but now Narcos Mexico S3 has dropped, so will blast through that.
I'm using this as my comedy at the moment, but wasn't overly impressed by S1. Glad you say it gets better each season, so will stick with it.
