Agree re The Dear Hunter.
Have you ever watched Six Feet Under? Very good too.
Don't worry. It's about death. So time will wait for you.It's on the list! That and Mad Men.
Given my current rate of finding time to watch, should be done with them in about 2025......
I’ve recorded it and I am looking forward to it.managed to catch up with the first episode of ITV series The Ipcriss files (reboot/ reworking / revisitation/ remake of the 60s Michael Caine film)
( which annoyingly clashes with the final series of Peaky Blinders on BBC at the same time on a Sunday evening !)
Well produced, well acted and obviously decent funding behind it too.... don't know if having seen the original 1965 spy thriller film several times in the past was a help, but it was reasonably enjoyable.
that said, with actor Joe Cole playing the role of Harry Palmer ( Michael Caines role in the 60s film) , I couldn't help spontaneously running the theme from Joe 90 in my head, on loop, after about ten minutes of viewing
All episodes now available on ITV hubI’ve recorded it and I am looking forward to it.

Funeral in Berlin? , Billion Dollar Brain? .... 60s films with Harry Palmer ( played by Michael Caine) as the lead character/spy .... both, along with The Ipcress Files, based on books by Len DeightonI hope looking at the reports on the programme that a 2nd series is commissioned.
And I’m sure there are other Harry Palmer novels.Funeral in Berlin? , Billion Dollar Brain? .... 60s films with Harry Palmer ( played by Michael Caine) as the lead character/spy .... both, along with The Ipcress Files, based on books by Len Deighton
yep ... but not, as far as I know, that were also films made in the 60sAnd I’m sure there are other Harry Palmer novels.
I'll give it a go as I enjoyed Hinterland. Cheers.3rd series of Hidden on BBC4. All 3 series and their episodes are on the BBC iPlayer. Well worth a watch (from series 1 if you haven't seen any) as the storylines are excellent as is the acting.
We've done the first 3 of that, getting into it.Ipcress file
