I finished the Prime Suspect series, I highly recommend this series.
Agreed.
Haven't seen them all, but I thought that the programmes I did see were excellent.
Some recent stuff I've been watching and enjoying include, House of Cards (superb), Bloodline and Narcos. All 3 on Netflix. On Sky, Game of Thrones, Banshee and the surprisingly good 11.22.63. I say surprisingly good as I'd read the book (Stephen King) and enjoyed it but I thought the TV show was equally good, if not better.
Started the Walking Dead. It seems a little bleak. There are tons of memes about it, but does it get any better?
Currently watching Master Chef Australia season 7. Before that binge watched Orange is the new black on Netflix
Football tonight. European Championship.
Currently extra time, which is very likely going to penalties. Great for the neutral like me, but terrible if it's your team that go out.
Just because I hate Ronaldo, I'm supporting Croatia.

While I agree with you on the topic of Cristiano Ronaldo, I would have liked to see Croatia defeated as well. Pity they both couldn't lose.
Re-watching the Brit version of House of Cards. Seems more and more appropriate for these times.
How close do they parallel or are they seperate stories with a common basis? The Spacey version is brilliant giving the viewer a realistic feel of political maneuvering. It feels real, while knowing it's fiction.
Murder, She Wrote with a rather young Elliott Gould.
"If Randall was alive enough at the time to talk to his wife …" "Where's that gun now, Mrs Randall?"
"This is mistake. You're both wrong!"

Well the British shows from the mid-90s are actually a trilogy (House of Cards; To Play the King; Final Cut) based on novels written by Michael Dobbs. To me they’re mesmerizing political drama even when watched again.
The American version has been billed as a remake of the British one, but it was a remake only in that it assumed intrigue at high levels in American government, in context of American culture and politics. And dare I say (since it came along around 20 years later), it also and naturally enough assumes a 21st century American television audience.
Personally I have preferred the British series; in fact I haven’t finished watching the American "parallel", which isn’t to pan it, exactly. I just haven’t found that as compelling as I did the adaptations of Dobbs’ novels. His experience as a political journalist lent great depth to the works.

Oh, gosh.
Well, I remember that TV series 'Top Cat' - from my childhood; actually, I thought it was brilliant and so did my brother.
Hope you enjoy it.
Watched the scientist Brian Cox on the BBC - as always, interesting, erudite and clearly thrilled to be in a position to talk about - and share his enthusiasm for - science in a way that is accessible and wonderfully interesting.
