Just finished season 4 of Mad Men, all I want to do is drink and womanise. I like how there’s so many levels to all the main characters, it’s actually difficult to make the show sound good because nothing too scandalous or explosive happens like your usual shows but the character story arcs and the 1960s setting really pull you in.

Simply one of the best written shows ever. Last season slightly disappointing but despite that still top notch. 

 

Friends who work in advertising gutted it isn't like that today!

Towards the end of season 2 of How to get away with Murder. Really enjoying the show. 

 

Also Mr Robot. Last night's ep was the best yet. Taken all in one take. Bananas.

They're on season 3 or Mr robot? Is there a season 2 recap anywhere because I stopped halfway through it and I really don't want to sit through it.

I made a list of everything I've got on the go at the minute, quite a list.

 

Need to start season 2 of This Is Us, one of the best things I've watched this year. Very gripping. 

is s2 on Netflix? 

 

S1 was incredible.

No. Think it is on Channel 4 next year as far as I can tell.

ah okay. yeah just remembered it was on C4 not Netflix. Has there been a release date?

[TiffToff88]

I don't get the hype with Stranger Things. Watched the first 3 episodes of S1 and was bored senseless. Has anyone been able to stick with it?

I've watched the first four and its absolutely amazing television.

 

Ken Burns has done brilliantly with it.

I'm on episode 7, Ken Burns has a proven track record of making great documentaries, sadly it's hidden away lost amongst the dross of reality shows and soaps!

Just about 10million people.

 

If you dont like Sc-Fi / Mystery then its probably not worth carrying on with it.

 

Personally i think its unreal, its something a bit different thats been fantastically made and directed.

Season two was ****ing appalling. 

 

The most pretentious shit I've ever seen. 

 

That and Fortitude are the most disappointed I think I've ever been with a second series of something I enjoyed. True Detective was a bit suspect season two but nowhere near that bad.

Think you're in a minority there pal. Each to their own obviously. 

 

I think it's sensational personally. I don't often buy in to hype, in fact I'm often slow to warm to something BECAUSE I'm told I "have to" watch it. My inner hipster becomes quite resistant to stuff like that. 

 

But it's brilliantly written, directed, produced, cast and acted. The child cast is one of the best that's been put together since some genius thought Corey Feldman and River Phoenix would compliment each other.

Season 3 of Line of Duty is now available on Netflix! 

 

For all the great stuff on there, finding exactly what you want and knowing exactly what's been updated can be a pain in the arse.

I’m mesmerised just at the titles tbh.

[Harry96]

Gomorrah peaky blinders and the punisher soon finally some good shows to watch 

[LcFc_Smiv]

Watched the first episode of Mindhunter, great opening scene. Rest of the episode was fairly slow but I expect it's building to a great series.

Power is incredible. Loved everything about it. Tommy is my fave character and Angela is a beaut. Stick with it.

 

Finished watching the 2nd season of stranger things. Another brilliant season. Really enjoy the fact its set in the 80s and has lots of different references to other shows. There is talk of another 3 season being made but gotta wait a while for season 3.

 

So now I need something else to watch on Netflix. Any suggestions?

Narcos, Orange is the new black, Bloodline, Line of Duty is on there now I think

Watched all 8 episodes of 'The Sinner' this weekend, thought it was very decent. Got great ratings and plaudits in the US apparently. On Netflix if anyone's interested.
