Better off with Peaky Blinders or OINTB if looking for something on Netflix

I gave episode 2 a go last night too but again, it was nothing special. I do agree the casting is good and I find myself liking a lot of the characters but I find it very tedious. I agree Matty, it's not as bad as some I've tried to watch but I just can't get excited by it.

After episode 2 I switched over to Amazon and watched 2 episodes of Bosch, which I really did enjoy. Still a wee bit slow but a bit more of a gripping story.

Mrs J and I watched bloodline and eventually got into it, loved peaky blinders and Bosch but have struggled to find anything recently. Tonight sees the return of orange is the new black so we are happy for at least a week!

I really liked Fortitude, to be honest. They're doing a second season but I don't know how they're going to make another season from that.

Fair warning in advance - S4 of Prison Break is fairly brutal...

As did I - was a phenomenal show but the final season really flat-lined.

Looking forward to them reviving it though as they seemed to recognise the failings of the last season.

Stonemouth on bbc catch up. First episode of a 2 part adaption of iain banks second last novel. Seems pretty good so far and reasonably faithful to the book by the look of it.

First part was quite good, why not get a Scottish punter to play the main part of Scottish punter though?

Just watched part 1 of Humans, quite thought provoking and freaky in equal measures.

Wasn't keen on the actors in Stonemouth, thought it was poorly made. I'm running out of things to watch now, Orange is the new Black is quite good but I am thinking of buying WEEDS Season 1. Anyone watched it?

I've taken to watching old episodes of The Fast Show and Big Train on Youtube.

Yeah I was quite disappointed by the second half of stonemouth after what I thought was a good start.

Did anybody see the first episode of Killjoys on Syfy?

Was decent enough and will certainly keep watching, but the main reason I bring it up is that one of the moons in the fictional system where it is set is called Leith. There is another moon called Westerley and part of the dialogue referred to all the "Westerlies" aspiring to live on Leith. :greengrin

I just wonder if someone on the creative team has an Edinburgh connection...

Watched s03 ep01 of Hannibal last night, its becoming to be self-indulgent nonsense on behalf of the writers methinks, could be a season too many for me if it continues like this.

I don't think it improves and I think that's why NBC cancelled it.

I'm really enjoying S1 at the minute but I don't see an expansive longevity attached to it - maybe just as well.

Its really well made (must be like porn for Goths) and Madz is outstanding but, not sure where it can go now, I won't mention the storyline much since you are on s01, I doubt too many of us know much about pre-renaissance Florentine characters though! :-)

Me too, Big Train in particular.

Been watching through X files on Netflix, remember the odd episode when I was younger and didn't really grab me, but watching it now and think it's a fantastic show.

Hmmm, young Gillian Anderson! ;-)

Anyone watch true detective season 2 the other night? Thought it was good a bit quicker off the mark than season 1 looks like it could be another good watch

The new series of orange is not really doing it. Will finish it cos it may get better. Mrs PJ hasn't watched sopranos, prison break, shield or wire. I have watched complete sopranos and wire, first two plus a few prison breaks and a few shield eps. We need an addictive series so what would the best bet be, revisit old friends or start a new series, if so what?

Didn't realise it had been cancelled but not surprised at all. Thought the first season was great, 2nd season was mixed. This 3rd season has been utter tripe.

Aye based on episode 1 I've got high hopes for this new season.

I'm going to watch it tonight.

The Affair has been pretty good. 2 episodes left and it's building up nicely towards a decent conclusion I hope.

I read that, but I've read a lot of what he writes in the Metro and it's usually absolute baws.
