This new series is masterful, mystery, material [Like what I did there?]

The acting is out of this world. Mark Gatiss triumphs again.

Is it on Netflix or Sky or wha?

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) is out 'on the internet.'  It's almost 3 hours long but once it gets going, you don't notice the time passing.

I saw both Dead Reckoning and Final Reckoning in the cinema - BRILLIANT.

Crime drama on BBC 1.

Drugs, Crime, Paramilitaries, etc.

We just finished series 3. Excellent.

The Diplomat:

4 and a half stars on Rotten Tomatoes is a good enough recommendation for me.

Really enjoyed it.

Criminality and dodgy lawyers in Denmark, deadly.

Super Pumped: The Battle For Uber

ITVX on demand.
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Obituary:

Probably the only Irish produced programme that doesn't have you cringing behind the sofa.

Hilarious and well acted:

We finally got Netflix back.

I was a big fan of Scandi fiction writer Jo Nesbo.

There have been a few versions of his books, this one is by far the best:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31810018/

Detective Hole [pronounced HOO-LEH!]

Brilliant performances by all the cast.

It's sub-titled, but don't let that put you off.

Five stars all the way.

If darts on TV is too exciting for you,  Streaming channel for pets launched in China.

Quote
Clips of a duckling swimming in a bath or two happy pooches patrolling their neighbourhood are examples of the curated programming on "PetTV".  The new channel on Tencent Video - China's most popular online streaming platform - is meant to keep pets company while alone or can act as an activity for animals and humans to enjoy together.

Would an Irish dog understand a Chinese dog or would they need sub-titles?
