You can currently catch us with the first to season of No Offence on 4OD and season three starts Thursday. Well worth a watch!
Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown has been added to Netflix since his tragic suicide. There’s 8 series in total and each episode is a great combination of the place, the people and the food of the area.
We've been struggling recently with programmes, new series which turn out to be same old, same old. We watched 'Jack Ryan' in two evenings (it's an eight episode series) and really enjoyed it. Well observed characters, intrigue, suspense, action; an enjoyable series.
Enjoyed 'Billions' which has already been mentioned, I also enjoyed 'Banshee' but yeah, stretching it in the last series or two. 'The Good Place' was good as well, 'Santa Clarita Diet', 'Mindhunter', 'Handmaids Tale', 'Succession' was enjoyable in a 'Billions' kinda way but not the same subject matter. If you like your drama British, Police and Contemporary i quite liked 'Bulletproof'. 'Preacher' is enjoyable and surprising in places with some dry humour and wit. 'The Innocents' on Netflix was interesting,
Things i thought i would like: 'Jessica Jones' liked S1 but cant get to grips with S2. Unfortunately, the same with 'Iron Fist'. 'Patrick Melrose' i didn't warm to and i'm finding 'S.W.A.T' is basically a reboot of the original series wrapped up in the same garment as the reboot of 'Hawaii 5-0' which is painfully predictable. 'Instinct' is also painfully predictable and miscast. Alan Cumming is a pleasure to watch in many programmes but i don't think this vehicle for him works.
Looking forward to 'The Punisher S2', 'Black Mirror S5', 'Taboo S2', 'F.B.I S1', 'Manifest', 'The Brave', 'The Enemy Within', 'Treadstone' and 'Counterpart'.
Watched episode 1 of Stranger on ITV on Monday. As much as I want to like Bodyguard, I found Stranger much more engaging.
just finished "The Alienist".. was good
Also recommend "Generation War"
Mr Mercedes is good (waiting for S2)
and just started Ozark (S1)

Mayans MC was absolutely brilliant last week. Looking forward to watching ep2 later.
Sadly it's only on in America just now but Mrs K found it through a streaming service on her phone (show box?).
Just finished the "Dark" series on Netflix - a more mature Stranger Things. Lots of questions left at the end, but Series 2 is already in production. :)
Just finished Ozark Season 2. Gets quite complicated and intricate but still really enjoyed it and well worth a watch.

+1 for Fleabag.
Only just discovered on iPlayer and am riveted.
Rather coarse, not suitable for watching with the kids (anal in first 10 mins and other bits and bobs).
From BBC: 'Angry, pervy, outrageous and hilarious, Fleabag arrives with a bang, as she spins through the city grasping at anyone and anything that might keep her head above water.'

First 2 episodes of "The Deuce" on Saturday night
Seems decent-over 18s only
On episode three of 'Killing Eve' and thoroughly enjoying it - different from the normal British spy thriller, funny, sexy and the lead assassin is played brilliantly.
BBC I player.
Just started watching Man in the High Castle on Amazon. Based on a novel, set in a Post war America in the early Sixties. That's an America that lost the war, Japan occupy the western states, Germany the Mid and Eastern States. Definitely off to a good start.
Series 2 of American Vandal, on Netflix. "We have a vandal. He goes by the name the turd burglar..."
Just finished Top of the lake, season 1.
Really enjoyable, with plenty of twists.

Not new but if anyone has never seen The Shield give it a go.
For me the best ever TV series made.

Probably already been mentioned (i've not read the whole thread) but started watching Ozark on netflix ..first 2 were pretty good
Agreed, the mix of dark humour works really well. Easy to binge watch.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
I am finding Michael Palin's travel series to North Korea quite fascinating. I have only watched the first episode, I think it will become less fascinating and more confronting once he travels to the more remote areas of the country.
Maniac on Netflix. The most esoteric thing I’ve seen. Amazing

The new Magnum PI is very similar to the old one but a female Higgins?

Re-Watched a couple of episodes of Deadwood as it was on Sky box sets, almost forgot how amazing it is.
Going to have to watch the lot again now - fantastic stuff
https://www.justwatch.com/uk/tv-series/offspring-2010 Excellent Aussie show.
Midnight Diner on Netflix, one season, wonderful stories and an insight into Japanese culture.
Don't know if anyone else has flagged this.
Enjoying "A Very Secret Service " on Netflix. French comedy (don't let that put you off), set in the early sixties at the height of the cold war. Just started the second series.
Another 'plug' for the Chris O'Dowd series Get Shorty, which just completed its second season. OUTSTANDING!
