Typical nonsense here. I managed to watch a few minutes of 1_1, and download two copies of 1_2. So I fixed that, and got 1_1, which I watched. Then I had a search for 2_2. I wasn't overly impressed.
Unforgotten series 4 has gone so far into 'character development' that solving murders is almost beside the point, and it's becoming a soap opera.
Unless it's been recommended before, "What we do in the shadows" has very good user reviews on imdb.com. I have yet to watch any myself, but it's unusual to see such positivity. I happened on it by chance when checking something else.
Maybe it's @£#%$&€! and the cast all spoofed positive reviews. I will try it tonight.
That's a good way of putting it. Still, made and still makes me laugh in its flawed way. Less and less LOL-gems with each episode.
I got into Episode two, and I got quite fed up with the rigid molds the Ghosts are in. Shades of Dad's Army, if you'll pardon the pun (Shade ≅ Ghost).
And in Unforgotten Series 4, they're so much into chasracter development, there'll be nothing left to happen. The (widowed)heroine shacks up with someone, as does her work sidekick, after refusing his wife's offer of reconciliation. Her widower Dad gets married, then gets sick, etc, etc. Unforgotten gets forgotten again with all that.
BTW, if you're a sucker for punishment, Ghosts is streaming free from bflix.to.
EDIT: I repent in sackcloth & ashes for ever recommending "What we do in the Shadows," the vampire 'mockumentary'. I got fed up very quick with vampires playing like spoiled children and giving long speeches to camera about their boring lives. It was like a talk show on valium. I know all the folks who gave it 10/10 liked it, but I sure didn't.

Understandably - this show is definitely flawed.
I still think there are - were - some pretty genius jokes in there.

Please don't do that, I'm still watching this.

I definitely wouldn't give it a 10/10, but at least for a little while - I'm currently watching this - I like the particular sense of humour which seems to be all based on the juxtaposition of the whole Vampire Scary Myth vs. the characters that totally do not live up to that myth.
I think it's extremely funny that Guillermo finds a neverending supply of virgins in LARP events, but the vampires then complain that they "taste sad"
