Good telly.

Because I'm kinda behind with everything, I only just managed to catch up on episode 2 of The Shadow Line (a sophisticated conspiracy thriller in seven parts). Please tell me that there are other people out there watching it? So, so, so, so, so, so good. Just... everything. Writing, acting, direction, cinematography, everything.

(For the shallow: Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the main character, Detective Inspector Jonah Gabriel. And he wears a lot of suits.)

I am not but if Chiwetel Ejiofor is in it I probably will! :- )

Oh do! It's flawless! :)

(I mean, one reason I started watching was certainly Chiwetel, but honestly every single scene has me spellbound.)

That is a good reason to start watching! I have loved Chiwetel in everything I saw him (after I first fell for him in Frears' Dirty Pretty Things), even when it was as bas as 2012. He is always excellent. Such an underrated actor.

I've downloaded the first episode. ;- )

I'm watching. :) It's so good! And how good is Rafe Spall? He plays the role of Jay Wratten so well! Excellent stuff.

Darcy is not one to flail, but he does rather flail over this - esp Jay Wratten and the mysterious guy in the hat.

Did you ever read [livejournal.com profile] the_royal_anna posts on S1? I particularly remember her talking about the way he wears a doorway... :)

Never read the posts, but I do agree with her on the wearing of doorways. *looks at your icon; drools at distant silhouette*

Here you go - not that many, but oh, she has a way with words... Mmm, Doctor + doorway. <3

Ooh, so glad I saw this. I've had the first two episodes downloaded I just have been putting it of for some reason. Going to watch it for sure now. :)

Definitely worth your while. *flails*

Well, anyone into amazing tv is watching the Good Wife these days. The last half of season two actually had myself and a lot of others I know jumping off couches, yelling at the screen and quoting for days afterwards.
Plus I am finally figuring out a bit more of the American political system. Very complicated.

Ah yes, I've heard a lot about that show. Dunno if it's on over here, and also it's long... Seven episodes I can cope with. ;) although in theory I'd love to see it!
