We're almost through season 3 and I'm enjoying it as much as the first time. Although, I am finding it a little far fetched this time. Interested to see how the last season finishes things off.

I kind of find it hard to select series that run for to long, as I have been burnt many times previously that end up turning into a soap or you can really see where the money ran out, or the 'Who' stars that are now on serious money and start to direct...
I'll probably start it once we get around to finishing The Gentlemen.

Finished Constellation, enjoyed it.
Now to choose between Death And Other Details, 3 Body Problem, and Apples Never Fall.
However, all the above are pretty heavy, so have been looking into some comedy options (of which there are very few).
Gave the following shows a first episode try:
Not Dead Yet - Interesting premise, but wholly unlikeable lead means a nope.
Abbott Elementary - People have been gushing over this for a while (even Family Guy joked about it), and the first episode was decent, will continue.
Girls5Eva - The biggest surprise, had me laughing a bunch of times in just the first episode, very good, will continue for sure.

Sounds interesting, Angelica from Hamilton is almost enough to make me want to watch it by herself. Let me know if it continues to be good!

Finished 'The Fall' which is well worthy of its 8.3/10 IMDB rating. Gillian Anderson is pure class. Did get a little silly with some characters being unnecessarily angry or emotional (just a tiny bit), but overall excellent viewing. Would have loved to see a spin off or another storyline set when she returns to London or a prequel.
Finished Constellation. I liked the concept, but the execution wasn't the best, and mostly the story isn't really finished. I'd rated about 6.7/10. I preferred 'Invasion'
Now watching 'Red Queen/Reina Roja' on Amazon. First episode takes a bit of getting used to. A few episodes in know so used to the characters. It's extremely Spanish compared to something like House of Cards. So far not as good as other murder mysteries like O sabor das margaridas/Bitter Daises (yes the titles don't match up to translation), but this does have a sci-fi element.

The second series is much better than the first so I'd recommend sticking with it if you can.Started Kin last night, dunno if I will get on with it, not liking any of the chars so far, and one of em looks like the villain from Superman ll
I absolutely know what you mean about one of them looking like the superman villain and thought the same myself! Lol!

Darby and Joan ... Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi. Aussie 8 part cheesey Murder she Wtote type stuff but it was actually quite entertaining without making you think. Made by Acorn but watched on UKTV Play.
its really good but when you finish it move on and watch love / hate. its a older show some similar characters but its way way better. absolute class.Started Kin last night, dunno if I will get on with it, not liking any of the chars so far, and one of em looks like the villain from Superman ll

After watching Bodies, the BBC iPlayer suggested Cardiac Arrest.
Half way through series 3 now and its been really lovely, nostalgic viewing.
So funny to see the doctors regularly smoking, and of course all of them using landlines!

Trying to work my way through Halo onto the second season now and still undecided if I like it or not I do think it’s better than I was expecting as the early reviews made it sound dire. I think the reason I can’t make my mind up is that i still feel ot could have been so much better.
