    Starting ‘The Accident’ on Netflix

    Liked the look of the trailer. Only 10 episodes so will fly through it

    Keep us posted! You seem to like a lot of the same things me and Mrs mbc like! So we’ll be waiting with bated breath. “Paris has fallen” was canny we thought

    Time

    Sean Bean is an teacher that knocks someone off of their bike and kills them, locked up.

    2nd Series is on now BBC now. Some fantastic acting in both series. Stephen Graham is in it so goes without saying its quality. I'd watch him wash the dishes. Absolutely fantastic actor

    Didn't know they did a second series!

    One thing that annoyed/confused about the first series is Sean Bean and his Yorkshire accent when it appeared he was from Liverpool?

    Very few new shows I like the look of so been looking at rewatches, started with the first series of Fargo. Been about ten years and it's almost like watching it for the first time. Martin Freeman and Billy Bob are brilliant.

    I have been watching the Silo on Apple TV. It's currently ticking along at 1 episode of series 2 each Friday which is a pain in the arse I wouldn't have started until they were all on there but didn't realise until I caught up.

    Enjoying it so far. Great to see Tim Robbins in something.

    A couple of episodes in and it’s been decent so far, an easy watch. Not too predictable either, which I like

    Brilliant isn’t he. I’ll definitely be giving it a watch. Short seasons do easy to dip into

    If you like Paris Has Fallen, you’ll probably enjoy Black Doves which is a series on Netflix. It’s very good and I’d highly recommend that one.

    I watched it last week, genuinely one of the best shorter series I’ve ever watched. Class I thought

    Aye, me and the other half loved it. Great cast and some superb performances, particularly from Keira Knightley, Sarah Lancashire and Ben Whishaw.

    My favourite character was the Irish lass played by Ella Lily Hyland. Hilarious one liners from her <laugh>

    I had a couple of late nights watching it, flew through it. Would’ve been great dragged out a bit with 8-10 episodes rather than the 6

    Definitely recommend

    Can’t beat Band of Brothers or The sopranos for best TV shows

    They've left it open to a second series too. Hope there is another series.
