Mr. Robot.
Totally Fucking Awesome.
Wrecked
doubled back to Legit and re-watched. Jim Jefferies. Hilarious show.
The Get Down has had a solid start
Season 3 of 'Halt And Catch Fire' has started.
Excellent.
finally the 3rd season of Rectify on Netflix. Still excellent, and nothing like anything on TV. Looks like it will be a while before the 4th (last) season makes it to Netflix.
First season of Animal Kingdom was good although implausible. Available online (TNT). Shawn Hatosy is scary. Good to see an actor from Southland on another show.

Oh, it's more than a "vibe." The basic story is just a mashup of Stand By Me, Firestarter and IT with a lot of Spielberg, Lucas, Carpenter and Russell homage thrown in for nostalgia's sake. Nifty little show; nothing original here, but that's more than amply made up for by the show's real strength, it's casting. Watched the whole seven hours in one sitting. Enjoyed it. I was playing D&D in my best friend's basement in 1983, so how could I not be drawn in? Nearly 20 years of torture porn garbage and poorly made "found footage" tripe has pretty much ruined the horror-thriller genre for me, so this throwback/homage to the old masters was a welcome change. The old is new again.
Narcos might be the best TV going right now....
Atlanta has started well
Jonathon Strange and Mr. Norrell.
Sort of a Harry Potter meets Amadeus meets Masterpiece Theater? Miniseries, only 7 hours.
Good news - Bosch Season 3 hopefully out in early 2017.
Luke Cage - better than Jessica Jones ...... so far (only one episode in).
Westworld: Jack the Ripper and Isaac Asimov re-write Deadwood, in a rather complicated fashion.
'Designated Survivor' has started well, 'Secrets & Lies' too.
'Quarry' is excellent.
I'm enjoying Son or Zorn.
West world is headed off to a good start.
Life Is Good on prime time is pretty good, sort of the Parenthood replacement show.
Blackish is pretty dam funny too

He's back! With Lee Fuckin' Majors joining the cast to play Ash's dad, a totally cantankerous lech, of course.
Caught the first two episodes of Goliath on Amazon last night: uneven and clumsy at times, plus predictable ..... except the MF endings of each episode - I stood up and clapped.
UK Shows
The Fall Series 3
The Missing Series 2
Watched the first episode of 'Divorce' under duress for about 5 minutes. Couldn't stand 'Sex in the City', thought this was going to be the same. How wrong I was. Hilarious. Belly laugh, spit out your drink at times.
Hooked.
Glitch on Netflix: a little thick on the drama, and not the fastest paced show ever, but quite good. Horror/SyFi/mystery (lite on the horror/scifi so far, but expecting big changes after 3 or 4 episodes).
Just finished a four season binge of Ray Donovan. What a great show! Is there more to come or are those four seasons all she wrote? Don't know how I didn't find that until recently.
Since then been Enjoying Netflix's "Wallander" and "The Fall". Both sort of euro-dark, slow moving whodunnits with damaged and difficult lead characters, unpredictable but engaging story lines and well developed characters. Kenneth Branagh and Gillian Anderson star, respectively.
i just finished up season 3 of peaky blinders. absolutely fantastic if you can overlook the fact that it's a rip off of sons of anarchy.
looking for a new comedy series now.
If you like the English version of Wallander, there is also a Swedish version (with subtitles) that is worth watching. Great series, both of them.
Outsiders
Hap & Leonard
I just watched the first season (and episode 1 of Season 2) of Broadchurch; it's pretty great...although, it's tough to watch.
A number of times I thought: why the hell am I watching something so stressful for????
