Wednesday Series 2.
Excellent black comedy with some deliciously dark moment. Great fun spotting the big stars - Steve Buscemi, Joanna Lumley, Christina Ricci, Thandiwe Newton etc. Loads of Tim Burton in-jokes as well.
Humour in a jugular vein.

8 great episodes with a frankly preposterous and disappointing finale
A real shame

@MiketheSnow ah fuck, think we're on episode 6

Sorry
Still worth watching

In 1992, three years after the conclusion of Magnum, a script was written for a potential crossover with Donald P. Bellisario's next show, NBC's Quantum Leap, in which Dr. Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula) would "leap" into the body of Thomas Magnum. It is unknown whether any original cast members from Magnum were slated to appear in the episode or how far production had progressed, though test footage does exist of the attempted recreation of Tom Selleck's famous fourth-wall breaking "eyebrow" shot from the opening credits with Bakula in the role.[citation needed]

Finished and enjoyed it, yes after such a great cat and mouse build up we do get a very soft almost like a cop out landing, but not enough to ruin the series. Still good, but agree a decent finale would have had everyone talking about this

I watched the first episode of King & Conqueror, a dramatised story of the clash between Harold Godwinson and William the Bastard that led to the Battle of Hastings.
This has been preceded with a lot of hype and what have you, so it was no surprise to see plenty of historical inaccuracies in both the story itself and the costumes, buildings, towns etc. What was not anticipated though was the disjointed production, the inept dialogue and the gloomy camerawork.
Hopefully the story telling will improve once they have set up the historically inaccurate premise and they can get on with telling a more interesting story, so perhaps I will persevere a little longer.
This is a story that has been surprisingly ingnored for something of such importance, so I was really looking forward to it.
We shall see.

@Catogrande I saw one gripe that "your majesty" didn't exist until 5 centuries later?
-
@Bones Lots of stuff like that. It's really annoying when something so easily got right is got so very wrong. The writing so far has been really piss-poor.

Also saw some comments on the

If any of the reviews are anything to go by, the reviews are more entertaining than the show itself.....
"A poor emulation of EastEnders set 950 years ago"
"Looks to have been filmed during an energy crisis"

@Victor-Meldrew I liked "Not many kicks in 1066".

I had another go at King & Conker and suffered through episode 2. It really is just shite.

Shook my head in disbelief at the "writing". E.g
"You alright William?"
Fuck me.
