Reilly, Ace of Spies-- miniseries about the man who inspired James Bond. First few episodes are slow, but picks up. Good series. Sam Neill is the third best Bond.

I saw that when it came on Masterpiece Theater in the late 80's.
When I saw the ds on TV ofr Jurassic Park I shouted "Reilly is going to kill some Dinos!"
Man Reilly ended sad, good thing for a pre-teen to see.

1990-- mid 70's series about a distopian future where bureaucrats run wild. Think 1984. Good characters and dialog, and Edward Woodward is great. It starts slow and it's very British, but a good series.
Available on Youtube, not sure about anywhere else:
Remember the first time I was in Glasgow and heard a policeman speak.Had to ask my dad what language the policeman was speaking and to my surprise it was english (sort of).

I want her like no other. Thanks for the tip.
"The Fall" was very good. And Scully is a naughty girl.

Jack Taylor-- not limey, based on an Irish detective series. Ex-cop with issues solves crimes. Series is darkly but well shot. Lots of one liners from the main character's internal monologue that seem like they were taken directly from the books. Taylor is damaged and vulnerable, but likeable. Standard noir stuff with a Irish twist. On Netflix streaming. Well done series so far. I like it.

The voiceover bugs a bit but overall very good I thought.
Say...you run across Hit and Miss?
It's a EZ special starring Cloe Sevigny as a transgendered hit(woman) with a bunch of quasi foster kids. Gut check warning..full frontal prosthetic cock in the first couple scenes of episode 1.

Inspector Morse took me a bit to catch onto but, yeah..better than Lewis. Great character development and character acting. Clealy closer to a book in the overall feel.

Saw the first couple of episodes, thought they were ok. Will have to give them another look now that they're on Netflix streaming.
Thanks.

This is embarrassing...but I'm watching one now,and I've taken to writing down the character's names because they click though so many and then kill them off before you know their last name. Also was enjoying Smiley's People on your rec. but NF was sending thrashed discs.
