It has been mentioned on here a few times but I just finished The Fall on Netflix. It was good. Agent Scully done grown up on us.
Anyone watch Black Mirror?
Season 2 of The Man in the High Castle drops Thursday.
It's probably in here somewhere but I just finished binging on 2 seasons of Narcos and I rather enjoyed that.
Been watching the Crown and the OA on netflix; the Crown is a little depressing and intense, but very well done - John Lithgow is superb as Churchill. Three episodes in for the OA and still kind of waiting for things to begin to jell - first episode definitely was a grabber, but since then it's kind of meandered around ......
I watched episode 1 of the expanse Syfy. A little slow to start, but cool for any Syfy lovers.
The OA was alright. The ending is retarded.
Travelers on Netflix is better. Watch that instead.
Black Mirror
Goliath
Westworld
Fargo
Noted: sitting down for Travelers for post lunch digestion right now.Quote:

Just finished Homeland season 5.
Claire Danes' character is very annoying, but I guess that's good acting.
Gotta start House of Cards one of these days.
Love Kevin Spacey.
We are being so good to you for not spoiling the rest seasons.Quote:

Just finished season one of Shut Eye... [emoji1303]
Just read that Marco Polo will not return for season 3. Bummer, good show.
Two episodes into Travelers and I'm intrigued...
Loving itQuote:

good behavior?
really liking Orphan Black so far (~8 episodes in or so)
The Hollow Crown. I don't know if Shakespeare counts as a "new" series. His two history tetralogies are the original Game of Thrones and this production takes the plays off the stage and out into the bloody battlefields. Great actors, too. Jeremy Irons as the old careworn Henry IV, Tom Hiddleston as both the wild Prince Hal and the warrior Henry V, Sophie Okenado as the scheming Margaret of Anjou and Benedict Cumberbatch gives perhaps the most over-the-top performance ever of Richard III as an absolute psychopath. Anyways, its a long time til GoT is back with season 7. If you don't have an ear for Elizabethan english, try watching it with the closed captioning on.
I'm a sucker for limey historical docudramas, although Shakespeare's interpretation is a whole different level; need to check it out.
On a very distantly related note (British period stuff): Taboo sounds very interesting (FX, starts next Tuesday) - good cast, interesting plot, good reviews ....
Just finished Mad Dogs. Pretty entertaining. They did a great job with two incredibly realistic gunshot wounds...
I stumbled on BEYOND on the Freeform network. It's about a kid that wakes from a 12 year coma that had some wild mind travel during those twelve years, but can't remember. I only have seen the first 3 episodes so it's hard to tell where this is going. The kid developed supernatural power, is being hunted by some nefarious group, and is befriended by a girl that claims to have been with him those 12 years in the other realm. There is also an old guy that seems to be in a coma that is stuck in that other realm and needs help escaping. But, he can communicate via text (lol).
Been watching the Kettering Incident - lots of flipped out people doing really incomprehensible things in Tasmania. I can't stop watching it; Elizabeth Debicki's incredibly hot body really helps.
We enjoyed Fleabag on Amazon prime
Agreed
Silicon Valley is funny and worth it
Stranger things on Netflix was worth it
Not going to read 22 pages but we just finished Bloodline on Netflix, pretty good. Need season 3 to come soon.
"Fortitude" on Amazon is pretty damn good. Multi-layered mystery involving murder, betrayal, a frozen mammoth, and more... Big names attached to this, well worth a watch.
"The Kettering Incident" is also excellent; a slow burner for sure, but worth the ride.
watching it now... halfway through. Love the BBC stuff with disturbed people trying to figure out weird shit!Quote:

This whole having-more-unanswered-questions-at-the-end-than-at-the-beginning thing has taken me awhile to get comfortable with, but I'm finally on board - helps to have a quality product.
I've been watching Long Way Round and Long Way Down on Netflix over the last week. I first heard about Long Way Round several years ago by a couple friends that have GS1150 BMW mortorcycles, but I never got around to watching the series. If you haven't heard of these before Long Way Round was filmed in 2004 and is a docuseries about two guys, Ewan Mcgregor (Obiwan Kenobi) and Charley Boorman, riding BMW adventure bikes around the world. Long Way Down was filmed in 2007 and is the same two guys riding from Scotland to Cape Town South Africa.
Jebus, "Fortitude" just took a strange twist... damn this is good.
Finished Sneaky Pete last night. A couple of weak spots but overall I enjoyed it. Bryan Cranston is a great actor.
A number of shows have returned, better than ever
The Americans
American Crime
Billions
Hap & Leonard
Homeland
Outsiders
Really enjoyed This Is Us
Really enjoying Big Little Lies
Anyone watching "Patriot" on Amazon? After five episodes I'm still trying to figure out exactly what's going on but I'm really digging it and it's funny as hell in an edgy and twisted sort of way.
Rick and Morty season 3 just started. Still the funniest, craziest, thinking person's show on the tube.
I just started watching Netflix original "13 Reasons Why" and it is brilliant.
PBS The Great War.
Unsurprisingly amazing.
