Black spot is good. Think it’s been cancelled with a few questions unanswered mind you

Oh I just finished "For All Mankind" as well. Up to season 3 now.
Great "what if the Russians reached the moon first?" set-up and a glimpse of how the space race would have continued right into the 1990's, to Mars and beyond.
Interesting strong female elements to the cast and story and some nice cold war tension. Smart soundtrack as well as it moves from the late sixties right up to modern times.
Great special effects and the level of thought put into the technical side of the show is just terrific.

cheers, i'll prob give blackspot a go at some point. I started fauda but it bit too intense/fast paced. I watched the first series of marseille, trashy fun (which i think was the point) but i didn't go back for the second series, i don't think Depardieu's rape charges helped.
caliphate looks interesting.
The shows kind of all blend into one another over the years so i can't really remember what's good about what show so can't give much of a rundown about any sorry lol
Suburra Blood of Rome is fantastic too and comes within a whisker of being as good as Gomorrah.
It’s is a very brave piece of tv, the way it weaves in homosexuality and racial divide into the story lines too.
The Mire is also a good foreign TV show on Netflix. Spotless as well.

To be fair I like lots of foreign stuff and I still miss loads. No idea how their algorithm works.

In the run up to Halloween... Anyone remember this?
The Mad Death (1983)
A BBC Scotland produced horror series I saw at far too young an age and it absolutely terrified me.
A woman smuggles her cat into the UK without rabies screening or quarantine, and the unfortunate moggy goes onto infect a wild fox, who then spreads the horrible disease amongst the human and animal population. There's panic and the army is called in as the epidemic spreads across the countryside and starts to reach major cities..... There's a boss bit when a raging German Shepard rampaging loose in a shopping centre menaces a family...
It's all terribly middle-class (as the BBC was and still remains) in terms of cast and setting, but it features some nervy uneasy moments, some horrible hallucinations suffered by rabid human patients, some jump scares with foxes cats and dogs, and a sense of fear throughout. For years it made me wary of people's pets, that's how much it messed with my fragile young mind.
The woman who sleeps with the infected bloke who seemingly playfully bites her lip and then of course infects her, leaving her foaming at the mouth...
Truly nightmarish.
At least it was until I started working in a vet's school and was in contact with all kinds of pets, from horses to snakes, and of course all different breeds of cats and dogs. So that was kind of therapeutic!
Also the intro music, with a child whispering "All things bright and beautiful" whilst images of snarling animals are distorted by ripples of water is memorable.

I thought Caliphate was excellent, can recommend that
Just finished the last episode of Shtisel over the weekend. Bit of a slow go at first but really enjoyed the series. An interesting look into ultra-Orthodox Jewish society, the role of an artist in society, etc
