The comments section of any Argus article is good for some OTT drama.

Reflecting on that, the one good thing about GDPR is that it led me to consider the value of reading their website and reaching the conclusion that it wasn’t worth another second of my life. I have not read it since.

This is the right answer, and has been the best ongoing series produced in the UK. Killing Eve might prove to be a rival.
I'm a big fan of all the Scandi noirs that feature in the Saturday night BBC4 slot, and am delighted to see that Trapped is now back. First two episodes didn't disappoint, and it's well worth acquainting yourself with the first series too.

Spot on re: Trapped. Great S1 and S2 looks promising. Nice to see main man Ólafur Darri Ólafsson appear (briefly) with Søren Malling as baddies in the recent Gerard Butler movie The Vanishing.

I must admit that I was all prepared to be disappointed by "Better Call Saul" as it was "only" a spin-off, but I'm well into it and enjoying it very much.
Yep, great show, and a new series due sometime this year.

In total agreement with CS here. Thought this re-make was pretty awful and an insult to the original which was, in my view, a masterpiece. if you want gut wrenching, claustrophobic underwater terror watch the original. If you want a watered down part submarine, part resistance , part romantic drama, then watch the re-make.

I watched the film after the series and now agree - what an epic, heart wrenching story. Series has too much about the French resistance and their relationships.
