TV

10 O'Clock Live
1x01 (20/1/11 edition)
Despite all the controversy, I thought it was rather good. It'll benefit from time to bed in and by giving longer slots to debates and interviews, but it's a decent start.
For two slightly conflicting, interesting views on its quality, have a read of this pair of deliberately paired articles from the Guardian.
And when it comes to sites I link to in episode titles (for any series), I do try to find the most useful from the three or four (or more, of course) different options you can readily come up with. Channel 4's own episode page is fine, but doesn't bother linking on to the useful content they provide elsewhere on the series' minisite -- namely, further information on the episode's guests and external links on the episode's topics. Potentially handy stuff, that.
[Watch it (again) on 4oD.]

Just Good Friends
2x04 Caught on a Shoulder Strap

The Killing [aka Forbrydelsen]
1x01 Day 1
BBC Four's latest Nordic crime offering, a 20-part Danish thriller from 2007, showing in Saturday night double bills ahead of the US remake's Stateside premiere in April -- and, on the strength of this, hopefully it'll be here soon after.
