Designated survivor is shaping up nicely. Just watch two episodes of Chance starring Hugh Laurie. Pretty good thriller so far.

Just finished watching "The Jinx - the life and deaths of Robert Durst" a six parter that's another case of real life being stranger than fiction. If you liked Making a Murderer or similar documentaries you should enjoy this - I wouldn't read up on it too much before hand or it might spoil it.
Also thoroughly enjoying the current season of South Park (season 20 now?!) which as usual is very topical and satirical and most of all very funny. Member berries, genius.
...but give it a while between, because the former is much better than the latter and it's even more obvious back to back!Originally Posted by halfpasttwothirty
Anyone mentioned Braquo is back on tomorrow?

Nice one, season 4 - I'll be tuning in to that although I have to say it's got weaker each season as its went on with season 1 still being the best in my opinion.
Humans season 2 has started :)
Black Mirror Season 3 to watch
Watching some new shows too.
Conviction
Chance
Westworld
Spotless - Completed season 1, season 2 planned
Old completed show for those who don't like to wait weekly.
Cold Blood
I kind of agree, although I think the 2nd series did an excellent job of maintaining the standard.
I'm still unreasonably excited about its return (and supposedly this is the last series, so they won't flog it to death like the Americans do...).

Stranger things on Netflix is good

Been watching season 2 of Humans and it has me enthralled.
Currently enjoying Shoot the Messenger, Chance, Timeless, and Vinyl.
Finished 'a night of' last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, some great performances and although the main storyline was a tiny bit lacking it was fluid and enjoyable to watch
'The Night Of'...thoroughly recommended.
Note: Not the original, as that was rubbish.
Very good. Looking forward to season 2
Certainly worth a look based on the previous series.
Agreed.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
Just watching Start-Up on Amazon.
Other than the pointless sex scenes shoe horned in, its very, very good.
Martin Freeman is brilliant.
If anyone has watched it yet, how did episode 5 make you feel? Incredibly well built tension imo.
"Good Behavior" looks promising. It's new on TNT cable channel in the U.S.
One of the absolute best series of that era IMO - pretty much superb from start to finish.
We just watched the entire series after recording it a while ago.
Really enjoyed it. John Tuturro is always good, but the rest of the cast were great as well. Nice to see Brit Riz Ahmed doing well.
We also binge-watched Billions - another great cast, even though the story was a bit cliched and soapy for me. (Full of stereotypes, with dark secrets to conveniently exploit when the story required it).
Currently watching, "The Missing" Season Two.
I see the 3rd set of the Jack Taylor stories starts tonight, and although its the ex Policeman heavy drinking , women trouble, etc... it is very well done an Iain Glenn is excellent in the role worth a watch

Woohoo, season 3 of Ray Donovan just added to Netflix. Looks like Katie Holmes is shaping up to be his new knobsocket.
Forget Westworld, so slow and boring that we didn't even get to the end of the first episode.
Totally agree, episode 5 was incredibly tense, a real boiler. Great to see Martin Freeman playing against type too.
Cheers,
Gary
I don't want to give any spoilers but wow. I can still feel that hit! Freeman really was excellent.
For anyone struggling to find something to binge on, do give it a go and persevere through the first 2 episodes, it's a huge grower.
Only season 3, so 2015!
Man in the High Castle - Amazon prime series. 2nd Series starts on the 16th. First season was really different and interesting. High hopes for the 2nd!
Half way through this and it's very good. BBT is excellent (as he was in Fargo) and the plot has thrown some curve balls. I hope the quality continues to the end.
Very good imho. Completely worth all the time I've spent waiting for the buffering...

If you give people nothingness, they can ponder what can be achieved from that nothingness.

Top tip, if you've ever wondered what the original 'The Night Of' was like, don't pursue it!
Somebody mentioned Start Up on Amazon further up this thread.
DO IT, it's excellent !
I can't agree, I got the DVD off eBay and we watched the first 3 episodes (of 5) last night and found it faster moving and more intense than the recent 10-parter.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Trying it tonight mate, thanks.
IMO I thought the acting was dreadful.I can't agree, I got the DVD off eBay and we watched the first 3 episodes (of 5) last night and found it faster moving and more intense than the recent 10-parter.

I would like to have seen the reaction from the cast of 'The Night Of' when they viewed it for research purposes.
Thanks to those who recommended, Goliath, really enjoying the show, its very well written, and it's great to see, Thornton having a lead role, I loved his performance in Fargo.
Started to watch The Crown, so far so good.
Late to the party, but I am really enjoying Rectify. Beautifully written, directed and acted. Although I am not big fan of drama, this one just clicks, really slow moving but it does not let your interest slip for a second.
Originally, the main character was supposed to be acted by Walter Goggins of Justified fame.
Dedicated Survivor - just started on Netflix. Looks pretty good having watched the first 2 episodes.

Wanted - Damasko DC57
I finished Narcos the other day and Netflix suggested this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2187850/?ref_=nv_sr_1
Highly rated on IMDB but there is 74 hour long episodes on Netflix......................
Designated survivor was promising on the beginning, but the latest ep's are rather annoying to me.
Chance is interesting, This is us is surprisingly good, The crown is too early to say after 1 ep, but promising.
On my list, but haven't started yet:
Mars
Incorporated
Good behaviour
If you like sci-fi The Expanse was good...first few episodes are stunning, then it loses it's way a bit before building to an interesting finale.
Enjoying Glitch right now, not a fan of TWD or Zombies, but this show is different, very well written.
The new Fox TV series based on The Exorcist is way better than it has any right to be.
Finally caught up with limitless, really enjoying it. Highly recommended if you liked the film.
There are also loads of episodes so you can get some real binge watching done!
After four episodes, does this actually go anywhere?
If you like science fiction than maybe you will be interested in Westworld, very good cast, writing and direction.
Getting in to a new Netflix series filmed in Brazil, The 3%. Not an entirely original concept of a utopia and tests to become a memeber but it looks stunning.
Just started witching Mars, 3 episodes in and loving it. Really cleverly put together,so it is both science fact and science fiction
Started watching "Shooter" on Netflix - 4 episodes released so far, little clichéd in places, but very watchable.
The Passenger.
http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-passenger
Finished watching the Crown. Thought the first season very well produced, looking forward to the next one.
The second season of the remarkable "The Man in the High Castle" starts on Friday I believe - Amazon Prime.
One of the best TV drama's I have ever seen.
So clever my foot fell off.
Like you I can't wait.
