Once again it’s as you were this week, with one notable addition. Yes, Fargo, Twin Peaks, Fearless, The Loch et al trundle on (although it should be noted that Fargo has now moved to 10.30pm), but there’s Danish crime drama in the shape of series two of Dicte (above), which I enjoyed very much during its first run. Enjoy! Continue reading
From what I can see, there’s nothing new starting this week. So that means series like Fargo, Twin Peaks, Ripper Street, Fearless and The Loch rumble on. However, there is one noteworthy thing happening this week – Netflix’s Better Call Saul makes its digital TV debut on AMC this week. A prequel to Breaking Bad, many say it’s one of the best things out there. Enjoy! Continue reading
It’s as you were this week with new offerings from the likes of Fargo, Twin Peaks, Fearless, The Loch and Riviera, with a notable exception – the start of the final series of Ripper Street. This has already been on Amazon Prime, but we’ll be covering it across its BBC broadcast. Enjoy! Continue reading
Usually, summer is quiet in the land of TV, especially so in crime drama. But not at the moment. Last week we had the return of Twin Peaks, which was extraordinary (and you really don’t want to miss the next two episodes), and this week sees the return of another my favourites, Fargo. Also look out for new Candian series, Cardinal, on BBC4 and Bloodline, which I forgot to mention last week and is still available to watch on Netflix. Enjoy! Continue reading

I’ve not been able to dedicate as much time to the site as much as I would have liked in the past few weeks due to real-life work, and I kind of thought that this week might be nice and quiet. But no. There’s another harrowing drama based on real-life events (Three Girls, starring the fabulous Maxine Peake), and the start of the final two episodes of Inspector George Gently (which I enjoy, although I know others find deathly dull). There’s also the finale of Little Boy Blue, and, wait for it, Kat & Alfie: Redwater (Thursday 18th May, 8pm, BBC1), which didn’t make the final cut. Yes, you read that correctly – Eastenders characters Kat and Alfie Moon in their own spin-off drama series. Which turns out to be a crime drama. Make of that what you will. Continue reading
It’s a bit of a busier week this week, thanks to the series finale of Channel 4’s intriguing and dark Born To Kill (series review hitting this week), a new Belgian French-Language series (Public Enemy) on Sky Atlantic, and the start of series two of flashy US series, Rosewood, on Alibi. Enjoy! Continue reading
So, what is happening with Hinterland? Series three of the Welsh procedural premiered on S4C last year in its original, eight-part, Welsh-language version. For spoilery reviews, go here. A few weeks ago it appeared in its second incarnation – the eight-part, English-language version on BBC Wales. There is no episode this week on BBC Wales. Next Saturday also sees the premiere of the BBC Four version – four, feature-length episodes in English. Confused? Elsewhere, there are series finales of Midnight Sun and Murdoch Mysteries. Enjoy!
