I love programs like this one. If you enjoyed that, if you have access too Freeview play, I’d recommend Secrets of a Psychopath. It was on CBS reality a few weeks ago and I thought it was really interesting. It was a case from Dublin that I’d never heard of despite it being quite recent. It’s in 3 parts, it will likely be shown again on there as they do show repeats a lot, but it’s on Freeview play now.Quote:

The Outsider on Sky Atlantic starring Jason Bateman ( Director tae ) has me utterly gripped , 2 episodes on catch up well worth a watch
Cobra
Couple in and seems watchable
The Aaron Hernandez documentary on Netflix is very good and a really interesting story
Watched the first twenty minutes and had to leave it. I’m not sure if it justifies the hype. Time will tell.Quote:

Started watching "YOU" on Netflix last month. Enjoyed the first few episodes but struggling to get into season 2.
Gave "the 100" a watch last night but after 2 episodes , it looks garbage.
Talking of watching things again currently going through Band Of Brothers.
Probably best TV ever along with The West Wing.
In a same-ish, flawed heroes vein from Netflix is 'The Umbrella Academy'. Also well worth a watchQuote:

Yeah that’s great also doesn’t quite reach the greatness of BofB.Quote:

New mini-series due to come out looks good. There's been talk about it for years but think I seen they're filming now.
BoBs is the greatest piece of tv ever. You cannot compare it to anything else.Quote:

Add the great cast, filming etc, it's phenomenal.
And while the Pacific is good, it doesn't have that same vibe through it all.
Couldn't have put it any better!Quote:

Watched the first 2 episodes of Cobra. That was enough. Truly awful telly.
I’m watching it again just now after watching BofB, it’s a damn good watch but it jumps about a bit too much and you don’t warm the cast as much maybe as they are more unknown.Quote:
Originally Posted by HUTCHYHIBBY

The Pacific obviously isn't as good as BoB but, as you say it's still a fine series.Quote:

It’s getting great reviews and I’m hooked after the first episode.
I’ve been watching Altered Carbon on Netflix, I’m still not sure what I think of it but I’m still watching. Part of me thinks it’s terrible, but mostly I’m liking it, I see there’s another season coming soon so it must have a following.
:agree:Quote:

Aaron Hernandez documentary on Netflix is a very interesting watch. Can't believe its a true story.
Yep. Ridiculous what happened. Had it all and... well...Quote:

Top gear was very very good last night.
Finished watching The Wire for the first time a week or so ago, that is a really ****ing brilliant series.
It's right up there with The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, for me.
Yep. It's my favouriteQuote:

Bit of a sci-fi/fantasy update:
The Expanse: I think I'm going to give up on this now having watched the first episode of Season 4. I know others really like it, but I've always been a bit unsure about it and certain things have pushed me to actually not really enjoying it anymore...not least Dominique Tipper's new hairdo!
Picard: First episode was better than I expected. Some of the dialogue was pretty cringey, but the story seems promising and the season preview at the end looked like it'll contain some interesting characters and incidents etc. Looking forward to Episode 2.
Lost in Space: I didn't expect to like this, but I ended up binge-watching all 20 episodes. It's family friendly sci-fi and there's something quite old school about it (possibly because of being a remake of a remake), but there was enough suspense and character development to keep it interesting. I'm also a fan of Toby Stephens as an actor.
The Witcher: Only watched the first episode, but not really getting the hype; I've never played the games though. I'll watch the next few episodes to see where it goes.
Safe (by Harlan Coben) on Netflix was good.
Just watched the young offenders on netflix.defo worth a watch.hilarious.
Yeah enjoyed that a lot!Quote:

I watched them all probably a wasted opportunity as the idea was good, Thought Begbie at the start as PM was an awful choice but actually quite liked him as it went on.Quote:

He then appears to go back to the hospital to say goodbye to his pal while forlornly asking for London not to forget him, apparently totally unconcerned that there is now hundreds of high risk inmates wandering about his patch...he then ends up back at his desk not doing much.
Then we are treated to him getting a radio message to say the Uni halls have been ransacked by those zombie inmates he apparently completely ignored.
There was plenty of other total nonsense in it as well but that story line pushed me right over the edge!
So as I said total pap [emoji2957]
Halfway through ‘The Stranger’ on Netflix.
Strong cast, excellent writing and (for me anyway) perfectly paced with few, if any flaws. A proper twisty-turny thriller offering pure escapism. Best in this genre I’ve seen in a long time.
So watched cobra underwhelmed to say the least.
Watched the witcher impressed hopefully a second season.
Harlots was rather impressive as well.
Stranger things wow where have I been hiding Haha.
Top gear hilarious and Flintoff has some set on him the best presenters in some time hopefully the beeb can keep these guys together for a bit
Outstanding bit of TV viewing....I've read all Harlan cobens books and the stories are brilliantQuote:

More of this please!
Certainly not new but been reliving The Mighty Boosh which is on Gold.
Still class.
The Windermere Children (drama) on the iplayer, another very moving programme. There's a documentary too (involving some of the people depicted in the drama), not watched that yet.
Second series is maybe my favourite episodes of comedy ever.Quote:

I remember the first episode I ever watched being the one where Father Jack "died" and I wondered wtf it was all about. It was maybe just a bad episode to watch first.
The Chewin’ the Fat sketch about the bowling club is absolutely brilliant
Still Game, Gavin and Stacey, The Inbetweeners and An Idiot Abroad for me. Usually rotate those 4 if I'm just sticking something on while eating or doing some work in the evening.Quote:
