We just binged "Giri / Haji". Really enjoyed it.
The black & white dance / dream scene on the rooftop in the last episode which effectively provides a synopsis of the entire story has to be one of the best scenes in a television show I've ever witnessed. Beautifully done. And the "catchup" at the beginning of each episode - fantastic stuff!

Done, but I didn't really feel it was necessary. I don't think it gave anything away... But spoiler tags inserted all the same.
You'll have to remove my un-tagged spoiler from your quote of my now spoiler-tagged post...:)

Nothing personal...

But when in doubt or describing anything in a brand new series, rather use tags to be safe.

Half way through A Confession. Man it's addictive.

The true story of DS Stephen Fulcher and his hunt for missing 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan, and how it lead to the arrest of Christopher Halliwell. This was the beginning of the capture of a prolific serial killer and the detectives own downfall.

Sounds interesting.

A confession: The camera work has been heavily criticized?

Probably because much of it is hand-held / unstabilised. It's a technique employed that's meant to give the viewer the impression that they are "in the scene" rather than just watching it. It's supposedly designed to draw the audience into the scene. Not actually a fan myself - it always looks rather amateurish to me.

Keep an eye on "Guilt". A BBC mini series over 4 weeks and I'm told by a friend the first episode was excellent.
