    @Mary Ann Sweeney: the 2nd season isn’t great. Pretty much a rehash of the 1st.

    @Ed: only one episode in and already i am hooked ed, some people might think there’s too much violence but I think it adds to the drama. It’s a whodunnit, and plus colm meaney is in it.

    If you haven’t seen them The Platform and The Raid (1+2) are on Netflix and are very good. If foreign language films aren’t your thing have a watch of these- you’ll forget your reading subtitles in no time.
