Yeah, 6 pm is surely a tad too early for most people with daytime jobs. In fact that is why I posted it in this thread, because the only way I can ever watch it is on the iPlayer.
What's currently good on the BBC iPlayer?

As a teacher, I used to rush home many years ago to catch Countdown (sad bastard), so 6PM is not too early as such, but it's more the case of wanting to do other things (gym etc) before getting home, because sitting down to watch a TV show is very settling in for the evening. It really got me through lockdown, so really have a soft spot for it for that.
I watched some last night, very good.
The whole of The League of Gentlemen, apart from the film, is up there at the moment. Good to break up the day, if you're a job-seeker.

This is excellent - really places Kahlo in context as well as telling the fascinating and moving story of her life:

Becoming Frida Kahlo
A look into Frida Kahlo's world, revealing an artist driven by politics, power, sex and identity, with her epic love affair with Diego Rivera at the heart of it all.

I did wonder at how they were going to stretch the horror out to 4 hours, but it's been very good, very informative.

I highly recommend 'Blue Lights', all 6 parts are up, it's a fast paced drama that follows rookie police officers working in Belfast, bloody brilliant IMO.

Finished that this afternoon, really is excellent.
That's what I came on here to post about. Watched the first one last night. Already know a fair bit about her like, but it's great seeing all the photos etc.This is excellent - really places Kahlo in context as well as telling the fascinating and moving story of her life:

This is excellent. A very welcome change from the usual procedural/murder mystery, cop show.

Magpie Murders. It’s corny in a good way. A whodunnit inside a whodunnit. What’s not to like?
I’m really enjoying it! My kinda telly and Death in Paradise although I’m not so keen on the new series set England

Just finished this. It's enjoyable, for sure. it's very well done. But it ticks just about every cop procedural cliche box going. These coppers over here are good. Those coppers over there (the higher-ups) are bad.
Everyone gets redeemed in the end, even the shit copper. It's well-paced, well-acted, contains terrific character development, great script and dialogue.
But we know who's going to get killed. There's a bloody foghorn signposting it. It contains not one single surprise.

Finished it tonight. One of the best cop shows for years. Great finale too.
Hopefully lots more seasons to come.

I struggle with police shows but made it to the end of this one, cliché ridden as you say but well acted and far far better than the awful north sea drug smuggling fisherman tripe I was forced to watch last week

meh
I’m slow to the take up but this is a fantastic series. The cinematography is beautiful. Proper revisionist western with a cavalcade of awful charactersThis is great
The English review – Emily Blunt’s sweeping western is a rare, sensational masterpiece
Hugo Blick’s revelatory series is a gorgeous, glorious new take on the old west – a lawless land where no one can hear you, or anyone in your way, screamwww.theguardian.com

Exasperated, not angry.
Only just caught up with this weeks. Totally agree re Zainib, she’s wonderfully mean. I think you’re a but harsh on straight bro though. His attitude combined with a passing mention last week that he’d just moved back in with his mum makes me think he is actually clinically depressed or that something shit has happened to him.Loving Race Across the World so much! Zainib is so fierce. That’s my kind of woman. I have an age-inappropriate crush on her. Mrs LR does too.
The two brothers, though! The straight one is such a negative energy. My god, I’d slap him.
Glad we had the question of whether they’re allowed to buy rent cars answered.

Ah, you make a good point.

I've started season 1 of Race Across the World, on Netflix.
Great tv but there's a drip of a kid called Alex who keeps crying and whining. He needs a good shaking (or just sending home).
Otherwise, really enjoying it.

I quite liked that, but the plot annoyed me by the second half. Stop making such shit decisions

I didn't make it to the end of that.

I suspect they have some clause about not breaking any (serious) laws, or buying an 18 year-old Toyota would be the best option. The catch being good luck getting it insured being a foreigner without your credit cards and whatnot. Then you could give other people lifts to recoup gas money. I was amazed they managed to rent without any cards!
