I like it. Nice mix of serious and humor. I like the ironic ending of the pilot. This is one show where the disclaimer about no animals being hurt is actually necessary, given the chicken fighting (silly sensor) and the dog getting shot. I think she was right to shoot the dog, it did seem to be attacking. Was surprised she had a gun though.

Got "Trial & Retribution" and "Hustle" which looks like a British version of "Leverage" in my Netflix queue. I dindn't know Robert Vaughn was still around, somehow got the idea in my head he was dead. Don't know why, the other Man from U.N.C.L.E. is still with us.
Still my favorite scene in NCIS, Gibbs is asked what "Ducky" looked liked when he was young and Gibbs replies "like Illya Kuryakin" leaving his younger colleague who never saw the Man from U.N.C.L.E. confused.
Speaking of references to other shows, 3 times in an episode of Columbo in which he's a spy Patrick McGoohan tells other people "be seeing you" which the catch phrase from "The Prisoner", which he created and stared in.

Is anyone else watching the Detective series. 'Inspector Frost'. My friend and I are on season 14. First seasons were about 6, 45 to 1 hr episodes, but the last seasons are double episodes (2 for the whole story) and last about 1 1/2 hours each. Wow. Fun stuff. He's pretty good, funny yet determined.

New series out from Australia...WINTER. A lady detective, surrounded by lots of antagonistic males, in a crime drama which started out with a young mother's death and lots of mystery about her 'best friend' who also got injured the same night, but who no one really wants to talk about. Continuing story. Looks good. Already 2 deaths and one serious injury and all very intertwined.

Just watched Trial and Retribution first two episodes. I still don't know if they got the right man. Can't believe the jury convicted him on such slim evidence. They never established a motive. Being a victim of sexual abuse himself doesn't automatically make him a child abuser/killer. Seems to me the boy friend was passed over too soon and too easy. Especially as he managed to get rid of the second unwanted child by talking the mother into handing him over to the government. I think the boyfriend framed an innocent man. Good series but depressing.

Love David Tennant! And all those actors who were in Dr. Who. Some I didn't recognize until now. Fun to see them. Can't wait till the next season of Broadchurch IF they have one.

I should have guessed.... Trial and Retribution story number 2 guilty man is found not guilty. Thing is, quick verdicts are usually guilty rather than the quick not guilty in this case, but anyway it just had to be given 1st episode possibly innocent man was convicted. Nice twist at the end though, were his wife realizing he's guilty, mutilates herself and frames him for it after trial. Was foolish of him to pick up the knife. Sad to see the surviving victim went back to being a prostitute. Odd too, given what he did to his victims, I wouldn't think she'd be capable.

Hmm seems my last post vanished into thin air. Try again....I finally watched first episode of Broadchurch series 2. I agree with Joe Miller on one thing and one thing only, no one in this town is innocent. Other people having guilty secrets doesn't justify him killing a young boy though. . I can see season 2 going to be even harder on this town than the first. And apparently there is a third planned.
