Bojack is phenomenally good when you get to season 3. S1 and S2 are both great, but it steps up a level after that. I've not watched S4 yet - saving it for a bit

Great to hear just watched the final episode of 2 last night. Takes a few episodes to get into it

Saw that when scrolling through Netflix but skipped over it I might give it a go!

I ended up watching the 2 seasons on Netflix within 2 weeks, it just kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. It isn't the most groundbreaking story line but I found it really enjoyable watch and it can be quite brutal as well which was good. Overall I thought it was great and definitely recommend it.

Working my way through Power.

Started watching the US version of The Office. Only just started the 2nd season but pretty good so far. An American friend told me it was very cringey but in a good way but I think I'm just used to UK cringe comedy as so far it's fairly tame in that respect.

Series 2 of preacher is even madder than the first!

I also watched the UK office for the first time in about 6 years or so. Forgot how brilliant it is. Also, I feel Mackenzie Crook is underappreciated in it.

Just finished The Forest on Netflix. Very good French murder drama.

Yellowstone and Sharp Objects continue in fine shape. Top quality shows both.

Watching Godless again. Just as good second time around.

Got to pimp Patriot again. Seriously, if you didn't see Season 1, do yourself a favour and watch it now. You will not be sorry. It's the best single Season of TV i've ever seen...and i've seen everything. If you're skeptical just take a look at the Reddit threads. Nobody has ever had a bad thing to say about it. It's universally adored by those who have seen it. Amazon have simply done a terrible job marketing it and more people deserve to see it. Especially with Season 2 due this year.

Cannot agree more with this - I stumbled across it a few weeks ago, wish I had found it sooner! Some of the funniest TV scenes I've seen in years, with the perfect mix of 'dark humour' thrown in.

I spend the whole time watching it grinning like an idiot. It's so satisfying to watch and endlessly entertaining. The speech where he deadpanned through a litany of piping technobabble had me falling about and clapping at the end. That alone deserved an Emmy!

The whole episode carrying that bloke around in the bag had me in stitches

OMG, i laugh out loud any time i even remember it.

Let's not forget one of the absolute highlights of the show. The lead Detective from the department of skirts and stockings. I can't take my eyes off her. Totally entrancing!

Just finished Hidden this week, was quite enjoying it until the last episode, very meh conclusion.

FlyingScotsman · 28 Jul 2018 at 13:23

Finished Marvels The Punisher, and was really impressed with it 9/10.
Just started season 2 of Six, thats pretty decent too.

and from 1958 original Quatermass and the pit on Iplayer

Started watching Castle Rock. So far i really like it. Lots of mystery and suspense. Many tie-ins and Easter Eggs from the Stephen King catalogue.

I just finished watching The Bridge fromj the BBC. Great show. First subtitled programme I've watched.

Currently watching Wentworth on Channel 5.

Big thumbs up for Patriot from me too. Was excellent. Also, if you can find it, Mr Mercedes.

Binged the first three episodes of Ash vs Evil Dead last night.

Quite enjoyed it. It certainly captures the manic gory horror and humour of the films. All the expected Sam Raimi touches are there, lots of references and call-backs to the films, and it's great to see Bruce Campbell in an extended role.

3 episodes of S6 OITNB left, different from S5 as this is back to being more character driven than action stuff.
