Anything good on telly?

[Slinger]

Well, is there? Any recommendations?

I'm currently watching The Hack, on ITV, and it's brilliant (imo). David Tennant, Toby Jones, Robert Carlisle, and a stellar supporting cast. If you were around during the phone-hacking scandal, you might be surprised at how much you actually did not know at the time. It still manages to be both quite gripping, and informative, despite already knowing the story. Apparently, opinions are split on the use of "breaking the fourth wall"; personally, I think it works well.

Recommended.

Just did the first episode of The Hack. Very watchable

Am also following the Hack as well as the latest series of Alone on the History Channel.

Shrinking (Apple TV) - very easy watching, occasionally laugh out loud.

Borderline on ITVX is not bad. It's set across the border between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Two cops, chalk and cheese, forced to work together, blah blah blah... The two leads are quite decent, if a bit histrionic at times, but it does me fine while I eat my lunch and solve my puzzles. There are six episodes in total, and the stories each span two episodes.

Saw the first episode and thought it was quite good.
