I haven't decided yet what to watch next: Singing Detective or Twin Peaks season 3. A friend of mine told me that Detective is not as bleak as Pennies. I hope he's right!

Bodyguard on BBC 1. Not as good as it's hyped up to be but still fun in a "Let's use loads of jargon-filled depictions of police procedures to ground the story in reality and stop viewers realising how implausible all the preposterous plot-twists are" kind of way.

I watched Quatermass (1979) for the first time in forever. It's rougher than the previous Quatermass serials, but even Kneale on an off day is somewhat amazing. I love how the satellites in the fields seem similar to the inscrutable ancient standing stones central to the story. A looming mystery for future survivors akin to Walter de la Mare's vats or Lovecraft's alien monoliths.

I finished Avatar: The Last Airbender and Tron: Uprising; both were fantastic, but I am still unsure about watching The Legend of Korra. I definitely need to finish The Corner and The Wire first.

I'm about half way through "The Terror" and, so far, it's a very good series. There is a palpable feeling of dread throughout and the acting, set/costume design, and photography are phenomenal. I'm hoping the strong first half continues, as sometimes TV series kind of peter out as they progress (although this being a limited event, I kind of doubt that happens).

Anyway, I'd recommend "The Terror" to horror/thriller fans.

I finally watched The Corner years after deciding not to, due to the bleakness of the first episode. It is without a doubt the most depressing TV show ever.

Catching up with Line of Duty. I'd only seen series 1 and 4 but have just finished series 2. And series 3 starts a repeat run this week.

Twisty-turny plotting, unexpected character deaths, and a ton of moral murkiness. Although the best bit in any given episode is the way the theme music gradually builds in intensity and volume during the final scenes before exploding all over the end credits. It's a simple trick but it transforms even the most mundane of events into the world's most nailbiting cliffhanger. Seriously, they could end an episode with a bloke picking his nose and I'd spend the entire week thinking "Oh my God, when he withdraws his finger will there be a bogey? If so, will it be hard and crusty? Or soft and gooey? And, most importantly of all: Will. He. Eat it?"

I watched The Haunting of Hill House. It was great for the most part, but the last two episodes were kind of a let down and it barely managed to stick the landing

The Rosa Parks episode of Doctor Who was surprisingly great. Exactly what we need right now.
