I just finished watching The Americans this morning. It's almost criminal how underwatched this show seems to have been, I'm glad it actually got to finish on its own terms.
The finale was one of the best I've ever seen, just incredible acting all the way throughout, heartbreaking watching it all play out, and there were a few scenes that were so tense I almost forgot to breathe.
Do svidaniya Philip and Elizabeth Jennings.
Now onto Mr Inbetween which I've heard great things about.
I've been watching old episodes of Crown Court on YouTube. Here's a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYvtz2fIIZI&list=PLIIQ0FV1o-JWYOPw2BFSsqo59OKZ7HCi7&index=22
Wikipedia has an article about it here.
It's a remarkable programme. Each case takes three episodes. The programme is entirely in the courtroom - there's no pre-case dramatisation, no flashbacks. One unusual feature is that the programme features a jury picked from the local electoral register, and they say whether the defendant is guilty or not guilty. The programme wrote two endings to cover both rulings.
