If you like a creative knockout show - which I do! - you'll love it

Fashion designers in teams of 2 have 2 days to create a look for a runway show. 1 team is knocked out each show. Presented by Alexa Chung and Tan France who I've just found out is from Doncaster which is my home turf so I love him even more. The boy done well!!

One of the teams is a woman from China and a woman from Korea - I am LOVING their stuff. And there's an Italian guy called Angelo who is just fabulous and I'm GAGGING for his designs! He seems so lovely and so creative.

Time: The Kalief Browder Story

Heartbreaking documentary about a young man wrongfully arrested, then remanded while awaiting trial for 3 years on Riker's Island, the majority of which he spent in solitary confinement. Unsurprisingly he is very damaged by the time he's freed :(
I’m sure this will already have been mentioned in this thread, but just want to give a thumbs up to The Staircase, a documentary following the story of a man accused of murdering his wife by pushing her down a staircase. Fascinating, troubling and entertaining way beyond my expectations. The “did he, didn’t he” factor is immense, as the picture seems to change with each episode.

It’s a series which seems to divide opinion, with as many thinking he was innocent as those who think he’s guilty.
It's pretty profound watching these back to back. Two people who are given the most diametrically opposed qualities of justice under (supposedly) the same system. It makes you shudder. Especially when you consider what they were each detained for.
 
I've finally watched all of Skins. It was good, although the last two of season 7 were a little disappointing.

Now I've started Sex Education. It seems OK but not really grabbing my attention. Is it worth continuing?

The US version of Project Runway hasn't been quite the same without Tim Gunn, so I may give this a try for my reality fashion fix. I'm just worried because I've read it's all team challenges and those I always find the worst.

I haven't seen Project Runway for aaaaages. Is it even still on UK Netflix?

It's teams of 2 for the first half of the competition but goes down to individual challenges as it progresses. They are still knocking 2 out per episode so it's racing through the contestants. The show are a bit fast. I would like them to be an hour long but you can't have everything!

I think they've only ever had the first couple of seasons of Project Runway on Netflix anyway, so I torrent it. Still hanging in there, it's the type of programme I have running in the background
 
I've had 'Safe' on my list for aaaages now, so decided to give it a go last night. Massively addictive binge tv - totally hooked into it. Watched 3 last night and forced ourselves to go to bed after that. Guess what we're watching later? :D
 
As an aside. The Stranger Things Secret Cinema has been on in Canning Town the last cpl of months and it's quite cool seeing everyone dressed up for it when you come out of the station the evenings it's on.
 
Finished second series of Ozark. Excellent telly. Second series maybe even better than the first. Proper character development, good story arc so far. Extra bonus that as I'm so late getting on it, I've only got to wait til the end of March for series 3.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the next season. Have Homeland and Better Call Saul before then to get me through though.
 
BCS is brilliant.

Years ago my wife and I watched season 1 and 2 and half of season 3 of BB, recently I watched season 3, 4 and 5 of BB, then El Camino, followed by all of BCS and then season 1 and 2 of BB again.

Perfect.
