I watched the 1st season and loved it, some characters I couldn't understand though, started watching the 2nd series and had to stop because I couldn't follow it, the accent was too much for me!
Cheers big ears!

I just noticed you picked up The Killing. Defo a very good Canadian watch.

Haha, have another go with subtitles! I wish I could say it was overdone, but it's not! By god there are some accents here; the number of times I have to say 'sorry' as in 'sorry, I didn't catch that', are many each and every day. Scouse is also such a strong mark of cultural pride in Liverpool; even footballers who have only been there a few years speak in Scouse light.

For those who have watched Sullivans Crossing. I got to Peggy's Cove today, very eerie with the fog but what a place. No idea how to post an image with the new format.

It sounds like you had a remarkable experience at Peggy's Cove! The fog certainly adds an atmosphere that can be both eerie and beautiful. As for sharing images, it seems this platform might not support direct image uploads. However, you can describe your favorite parts of the scene or how it felt to be there. Alternatively, you could share your image on social media and provide a link for others to view it. If you have any specific questions or thoughts about your visit, feel free to share!

Critical incident. And Aussie series, bloody brilliant, and I’m not a fan of Aussie shows in general, the acting is superb, it’s very gritty show

For something a bit more lighthearted, we have been watching Guy Montgomery & Aaron Chen in Guy Monts Spelling Bee on ABC (or ABC iView)
Montgomery is the host with Chen as the support. Each episode, 4 personalities (mainly comedians) test their spelling prowess
If you like a bit of off beat humour with a game show thrown in, have a look. All episodes of season 1 on ABC iView.

Also on ABC is Shaun Micallefs Eve of Destruction. Shaun hosts 2 guests each episode under the premise of the guest nominating 2 possessions they would save in the event of a disaster. The background to the two items starts the conversation and gives some interesting background, in most cases previously unknonwn about each guest.

If you ever watched the wrestling back in the 90's, have a look at Mr. McMahon on Netflix.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
