IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
I'm enjoying this. Apart from a hugely silly decision from one of the main characters, but its defo compelling
Why would the vicar cover for the paedophile?
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

If anyone hasn't seen this, I can't recommend it highly enough.

I binged series 1 of that a little while ago and it left me feeling a bit betrayed tbh. After all the shit she's seen, she just accepts that argument that revealing what's going on would be damaging and agrees to go over to the other side? Nooooooo. You blow the world up or you get killed trying to.
I don't mind it being far-fetched. I do mind that ending. So she's back in series 2 now clearly an insider. Don't care. She lost all my respect in series 1.

When the world came apart, where were you?
Based on your recommendation, I watched it.
When I say "I watched it", I managed to force myself to watch half an hour of trite, stereotyped, predictable-as-fuck rubbish

You may not have liked it but no need to be so nasty about it.Based on your recommendation, I watched it.

I mean loads of people have recommended The Wire and Breaking Bad, I didn't like either - just move on, no need to be so aggressive.

I'm not being aggressive. I'm telling you what I thought of it.
Is this worth watching?

I’ve just started season 2, it’s in a way quite different from season 1 but I’ve enjoyed the first episode
See I've tried a few times with that and not gone back to it.
It's brilliant.
Actually I am starting to like Am I Being Unreasonable but it's taken till episode 5.

Couldn't get into either of them. I've been told it's because I've never lived in a village in the middle of nowhere, but it seems to be popular with more people than could possibly live in small villages.
Nothing against Daisy May Cooper, either. Thought she was great on Taskmaster.
I just watched the first episode the new series of Cunk on..., and quite enjoyed it, even if she doesn't evolve too much as a character.

Yep I'm a Londoner born and bred and I loved This Country

Too different to be particularly comparable IMHO
The comparison is the writing of Daisy May Cooper. I would say This Country was brilliant, he new one good. I know they're different, but This Country had great character development whereas I'm still not sure why Jen was such a nut as nothing came of it.

I've been told that I misunderstood this ending. Too subtle for me.
May give it a go after all.

Just watched episode 1 of series 2. Safe to say I misjudged the ending of series 1.

worked it out now!
Philomena Cunk on Earth -I was channel hopping last night & 3rd episode was on BBC2. Was just the laugh I needed.

Reply to your spoiler.
Because the vicar had clocked the scars on the weird verger's wrists/arms, realised the verger had previously self-harmed, so the vicar realised that if verger was outed as looking at paedo porn/images, he was at risk of self-harm even suicide. So he felt an obligation to protect the verger who he perceived to be at risk of suicide, and vicar didn't want to be responsible for verger's self-harm/suicide.
Vicar was in difficult position of not being able to provide alibi/prove it wasn't his son's flash drive with dodgy content unless he threw verger under the bus, but he didn't want 'vulnerable' verger's self-harm and potential suicide on his conscience and felt professional obligation to maintain confidence of sort of a confessional.

I get why most of the characters acted why they did, if you look at it through the intended lens of "what good people are capable of when they are pushed/cornered/etc",
What I didn't get is why Janice instantly believed that the child porn was Ben's when she seemed to know him pretty well and also that everything about his behaviour seemed to say that he had no idea what was really on the memory stick. She never for a moment thought she might have got it wrong.
