Channel 4 drama Suspect starts airing this week, and it's looking like it will be one not to miss.

The series has a cast stacked with British talent and a thrilling premise, which is based on an original Danish series called Forhøret.

This Channel 4 version stars James Nesbitt as Danny Frater, a veteran detective on a mission to find the truth after his estranged daughter dies.

Suspect begins 9pm on Sunday 19th June on Channel 4, meaning there's only a matter of days now to wait.

The series is made up of eight episodes, each lasting half an hour. Channel 4 will air two episodes back to back nightly, meaning we'll get episodes one and two on Sunday, three and four on Monday, five and six on Tuesday and seven and eight on Wednesday.

NBC has officially closed on a deal to revive Magnum P.I. with the action-packed series set to run for 20 more episodes split across two seasons. This welcome revival will bring the rebooted show’s total episode count to 96, with NBC also holding the option to order further episodes as well.

Have you seen the Welcome to Racoon City movie that came out last year? Very good. Looking forward to the series myself.

Binged The Lazurus Project over the weekend, really enjoyed it, hoping for a season 2

Binged on the last season of Ozark.

I want more!

Watching the Netflix doc on Woodstock 99, absolute carnage!

Also finished Resident Evil which was dreadful

Watched Wheel of Time recently, that was very good

Obi-Wan Kenobi was disappointing

Fleabag excellent

Think that's it

Also finished Resident Evil which was dreadful

I rather enjoyed it. Sure it has little resemblence to the games and the acting is ropey but its better than I was expecting and its criminally underrated on imdb. 

The one criticism I'd have is with such a great IP they have with Resident Evil, it's bever been done justice on the big or small screen. Something that would seem quite easy with the right team.

I think it peaked in the 3rd season but a good show

[ShaneU]

The Sandman is excellent

[Sephiroth_Dude]

The Sandman is excellent

Never read the comics but seeing as Gaimen wrote the comics and was involved  in the show , I may resub to netflixs just to watch it, huge fan of Gaimens books as well, in particular American gods and neverwhere.

[E.N.]

The Sandman is excellent

Watched the first episode last night, clearly just an introduction but it definitely caught my attention. Looking forward to getting in to it properly

Under the Banner of Heaven is a very good, if you liked True Detective that dark compelling tone, I'd recommend

House of the Dragon is on Sky Atlantic on Monday August 22nd (Game of Thrones Prequel)

[Necro]

If they can recapture the magic of the initial few series this could be brilliant. And tbf, the reason the original series dipped towards the end was they ran out of source material which isn't a problem here as of yet.

Speaking of source material, Martins never gonna finish the books is he? 😔😔

[Sephiroth_Dude]

Just watched the first episode of North Sea Connection, was decent, looking forward to next weeks episode, also Lydia McGuinness is

I've been really enjoying this Irish Dramedy. It's showing weekly on Apple TV...

Saw it mentioned on gogglebox last night, must check it out

JP is utter detestable and unlikeable, a hated ba$tard in Bad Sisters

Sharon Horgan is such a talented writer creator

The comedy is on point without making me cringe (I struggle sometimes when I feel like I can see it coming, not so here), darkly humourous, and I'd like to kill JP myself...

BBC 1 tonight at 9pm

It's got David Tennant?! I'm in!

[Necro]

I'll just leave this...here.

[ari101]

That gives me Mimic vibes 😅
I don't do scary, without the music played over it I imagine I'd be shitting a brick 🤣

Pedro Pascal seems to be everywhere but no complaints for me

[Neowise]

think i'll give that one a shot.

Been watching Graham Norton's new season, there is something about that couch... the great dynamic is back and it's been a great laugh. Something about the distance of the chairs just didn't create the same atmosphere (IMO).

^ I like all the guests on together interacting

Stephen Graham was great last week, a humble gentle scouser, top actor too

Neighbours is returning

[ShaneU]

Finished 1899. Very good even if it does borrow a lot from certain sci-fi movies
