Animal Kingdom - flew under the radar and was recommended by a friend all seasons are on Amazon, fantastic show set in the outskirts of LA about a family invested in crime and surfing very well written and a spot on cast 9/10. Get the Point Break vibes from it.
Just hit season 5 and it's gone 10/10

Yeah, never heard of it, but rated quite well on Amazon, so might give it a whirl, thanks.

Finally getting round to 3 body problem. Compelling enough. Love Benedict Wong's character.

That reminds me, finished 3 Body Problem last night. It's okay, but for me there is too much not explained and rather unlikely. Like -
I'll ask that in the 3BP thread, as maybe I'm just not getting it.
They say the aliens can't read their thoughts, but how were they implanting the countdown in their vision?
I didn't get how they were going to take 400 years to arrive, but they could communicate with zero lag?
Maybe I didn't get the whole 4 micro thingies, two pairs... that are supposed to be everywhere all at once? Cause even that sounds a little silly, no? How did they get here instantly from 400 light years away?
How were they hacking cars autonomous driving?
Sending the brain to the aliens, did I miss how they knew what direction to send the brain in? How do they know where the Aliens are?
There just seemed too much of these things having god like vision and control, but they are 400 light years away?

Very late to the party but have just enjoyed the Magician and the follow-up TV series Mr Inbetween over the weekend. Felt quite sad when it finished, and thought quite highly of it overall.

Finished Shogun, thoroughly enjoyed that. Binged Silo with the Mrs, she’s now reading the books, we both loved it. One more episode of Fallout to watch then a break I think until May gives us some new stuff; Clarkson’s Farm, Dark Matter, Demon Slayer.
Had a break after starting the 3rd series of Fargo, but took the plunge and resumed watching the other night.
Really enjoying this series as well, it picked up surprisingly for me around the third or fourth episode.
The earlier episodes were decent enough, but a hard act to follow given how strong the first two series were.

Just finished Mr & Mrs Smith. Really quite enjoyable.
Seem to have a huge backlog at the moment

Really enjoyed Shōgun. Trying to convince Herself to give Fallout a watch.

Watched Baby Reindeer with the missus. Not really sure what the fuss is all about? I guess it is all the shock factor. Wasn't my cup of tea really.

Fallout, 5 episodes in and I'm enjoying it and it's grown on my wife.
Also watching Black Bird and we're two out of six episodes in and this definitely got me invested from the off.

I never watched it beyond season 1 but I think this is one of those shows people either get or they don't - didn't really click with me - I just had no investment in anything going on.

I just can't see him as anything but the countdown guy in IT Crowd.

Yeah, I'm about 5 eps in and not sure. I'm kind of enjoying it, but it seems to be treading water a little already, trying to make drama out of the family relationships which I'm not really invested in at this point. I struggle to have empathy when people are just making stupid decisions too. Like Craig(?) just robbed his girl cause he thought she was dead. Then she's not. I mean, why would you not make any kind of check?
Soldato
Early doors, it gets better. To be Frank Pope put me off at first as he's just odd, that changes... and it felt like it was just in fighting in the family but I stuck with it and as it progresses it matures don't get me wrong some of it is dull (everything with J's girlfriend) but for me the high points out weigh that.

After joining the club late watching True Detectives we've just finished watching S4. S1 was excellent and watched S4 as it was supposed to have references from S1, enjoyed it but thought it was a bit slow and nowhere near as good as S1. Not sure if we'll watch S2/3 as I've heard they're not as good.
