Television, drug of the nation

Yeah screw that Viltrumite traitor Barb

Have been watching two doors down. Not sure if it is funny or makes me cringe.

2 episodes into Yellowstone, pretty sure it’s rubbish, but I’m not totally going to write off yet

Finally got round to the last series of Westworld, S03 got boring so never jumped on S04 but I'm enjoying the pretty big plot change stuff and am back onboard.

Amazon don't seem to be making much of a thing of it, but season 5 of Fargo is excellent so far.

Jon Hamm as you'd expect, but Juno Temple is also excellent.

Yeah, Fargo is great.

Squid Game the challenge is gripping. It's brilliantly done if somewhat ironically missing the message of original.

First two episodes of Slow Horses season 3 are good so far, the next one released today.

The writing makes it, so dry and funny, Gary Oldman is amazing.

I hadn't even seen that there had been a season 4!

Looking forward to binging the new Slow Horses, Reacher and Bosch for mindless fun over Christmas but TV life has felt empty since completing season 3 of Mr Inbetween. Currently watching A murder at the end of the world (quite good) and Culprits (absolute shite, girlfriend wants to keep going but each episode gets worse) but hoping there's a decent low key crime drama out there that's maybe flying under the radar?

We Own This City is on the list.

Finally finished The Goldbergs. Started off as a bit of light relief but definitely carried on too long.

Also watched Robodoc which is good if you're a fan of the Robocop movie.

We started watching Slow Horses last week and just on season 2 now -the gag with Min's car CD player still making me giggle

RE lowkey crime dramas, I enjoyed Blue Lights for some northern irish police business. It's got that BBC aesthetic, but I thought it was well put together and a thoroughly enjoyable 6 parter available on iplayer.

Bodies, on netflix, is fun in a sort of nonsense time-travelling crime caper way.

I hadn't even seen that there had been a season 4!

Yeah for some reason Amazon don't advertise Fargo at all. The new season doesn't even show in the recent releases, even though its a weekly episode drip (which I hate).

+1 for Slow Horses too, another episode drip, but good as ever. I've actually picked up the first book, interested to see if it has the same tone.

Thanks, will check them out.

Still looking for a UK stream for Homicide, LotS if anyone has a link.

do you, or anyone you want to watch it with work at an education institution?
If so you can probably watch it all on BoB.

Movies7.to has most of what you might want. Legal questions aside.

Culprits (absolute shite, girlfriend wants to keep going but each episode gets worse)

As previous post, I really enjoyed it, characters, time changes, lines blurred, right amount of violence, locations, slow reveals, even the plot.

For low key dramas, try any of the Walter Presents European offerings.

Probably fairer to say that i didn't like it than calling it shite but i'm struggling to see anything past a bad Guy Ritchie knock off with a lot of unbelievable/half cooked characters. I also found the violence pretty nasty and blasé at times.

The relationship with the main character at the beginning was a nice start but for me it nose dived once the backstory kicked in.

Finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher, both of us liked it. It start with the "right I know what the plot is going to be" feeling but the details/subtext are well done, the characters are well written (some a bit less but there are so many that is fine) and I love an Evil Woman character. The show also has a few great visual moments. The director did a few horror movies like Oculus.

Watch Lars Van Triers Riget 1&2 which are great mad fun, hospital soap plus haunted hospital which is a weird combo but somehow it works, scary stuff with random humour.

The actors died so I didn't expect much when S3 came out as it is super hard to pick up a series so much later, but it really wasn't good. Plot was far too hurried and the ending sucks and I am irrationally annoyed by this.

So watch S1+S2 and make up your own ending ;)

just finished watching twin peaks series 1 & 2 for the first time
got to say it was pretty good, not sure why i've never watched it before, should i watch the modern follow on and the side quests ?

It does get pretty Lynchian, but I enjoyed it. If your bullshit threshold is low it might annoy you, but if you got through series 1 and 2 you’ll be fine.

Season 3 is fantastic, keep going!

Yes to Season 3! So good.

Really enjoying the latest season of Fargo
