I didn't find City Primeval that bad, didn't have the wit or charm of Justified classic though.
Graham Yost's absence was really felt.

Like a one man Heist show then it turns into something quite sinister and a proper cliff hanger at the end of season 1. Really tired today as it was just one more... next thing its gone midnight on a schoolnight
(French with subtitles, he knew the French could make good TV )

Has anyone been watching One Piece? I know it's based on an Anime, but I know nothing about it. Three episodes in and it's kind of delightfully weird and fun. Definitely a nice palette cleanser after gritter faire.
I much enjoyed City Primeval. I'm kind of disappointed in the direction they have flagged for the next season. I felt it benefited from being a distinctly different show from the first, and that the first had wrapped up in a good place and didn't need revisiting.

Loved One Piece. In fact, while on holiday in Spain in August, I saw a shop with a One Piece T-shirt in and bought it
Wearing it now.

I did finish One Piece, I liked it enough to finish it but not enough to really rate it. It was very anime, had lots of incredibly dumb things in it (incredibly the guy fighting with 3 swords is somehow the least out there part of it) I think if you can switch your mind off and just accept that increasingly stupid things happen then you'll enjoy it. It didn't help that the main character was ******* annoying too.

Well they do have Les Revenants (The Returned), Zone Blanche, which is also a decent mystery. Both quite atmospheric.
I also enjoyed La forêt (The Forest), as a crime mystery. Then they have Dix pour cent (Call my Agent), which is a good comedy.
Le Chalet was a decent thriller too.

I can highly recommend Braquo, essentially a french version of The Shield with the same rough edges and brutality.(French with subtitles, he knew the French could make good TV

You had a look at The Expanse?
I just finished BG... One of the few times he writers know when to wrap a show up rather than drag it out.
Thanks for the recommendation, I was quite a prolific poster in the Expanse thread
Can't go wrong with any of the first 3, haven't watched the last.
GOT goes off the rails a bit in the last few seasons when they weren't adapting books anymore.
Breaking Bad has a slow but solid start and seems to get better every season - one of the only shows with a 'perfect' rated 10/10 episode on IMDB - 'Ozymandias'
Peaky Blinders absolutely falls off after S3, really should have ended it earlier - last few seasons are a slog.

Finished The Continental S1. Thought it was pretty good. Long episodes might put people off (3 x 80-90 mins) but there are reasonable points halfway into each that meant I just watched in 6 sittings.
Started The Wheel of Time, but I just don't think I can, so watched Ep1 of S02 and then switched to Shetland (well, S1 is 2 eps, so done them) and quite liked it.
