The Beast Must Die ('Thriller' miniseries ITV)

Has Jared Harris in it and I quite like him, so thought it worth a shout. Dreadful. Harris is 'The Beast', and tbf he plays quite a good awful, callous and self-entitled father / husband / lover / obvious-hit-and-run bastard. But "the beast must die", right? So yeah he dies at the hands of run-over-child's mother, who has been on Harris's case the entire time. Triffic'. :roll:

There's a side-story about the lead detective which doesn't really go anywhere. Don't look for any twists and turns here. Nul points.

I only endured the first episode despite wanting to see the exotic locations nearby.

Watched and loved The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart on Amazon, that's a proper tale of toxic masculinity.

Chanced across Normal People on IPlayer last night. Only two episodes in but it's quite compelling even though, and this is the odd thing, nothing happens. Just a story, so far, of two Irish teens, from different backgrounds, who become romantically involved. Both leads are excellent in terms of performance.
