True Detective - Series 4. Set in Alaska with a pretty dark storyline and setting.
Enjoyed the first two parts. Interesting casting including Jodie Foster and Christopher Eccleston.
For the first time since the unparalleled first series I have good vibes about true detective. Jodie Foster is tearing the scenery up every time she is on screen. Kali Reiss is really good in it too
found myself shouting at the tele “this is the best show ever” at least twice per episode. as a bit of a nerd for maths and logic puzzles it was perfect.
fascinating concept and can’t way for series 2.
I loved the strategy but it was pretty complicated to understand until they started playing.
Can't wait for series two.
Different concept but you might enjoy Sirens. Another excellent Korean action strategy game show.
Senoritas Series 2 .. BBC4 and iPlayer .. Mexican politics and social comment .. best to have watched series 1 to fully appreciate this Classy production, sub titles, i m o a VERY fine programme
Just started the Traitor Australia, second series. slight difference with last year, and a bit like the US version, there's quite a few "reality stars" in it. I'm sure it will settle down, but right now wishing that the murders were in fact real.
As a big fan of Z Nation, made by the same team, it couldn't be more different but I still enjoyed it. Completely different in tone, and devoid of any of the humour of Z Nation, it's as bleak as you like. I always like a show that kills off a character quite early on that you think is going to become a mainstay.
Probably much more realistic in terms of the "everyone for themselves" nature of humans that we're seeing signs of played out in real life.
Solid 6/10.
So just discovered this on Netflix and on initial thoughts I love it. Ticks through at a fair old rate of knots. Always something happening and grips you from the very start. I'm not a big Zombie franchise fan and could never get into Living dead but there is something about this that keeps you wanting more. Not for the faint hearted I should add!

Black Summer is something up my street, shows the absolute worst of humanity and not a lot of the good
I get zombies aren't everyone's cup of tea as a vehicle but replace them with aliens, or really fucking fast big insects, animals or whatever scary shit floats your boat/makes you shit your pants but is ultimately something dangerous, relentless and cant be negotiated with.
Absolutely loved Boy Swallows Universe: Think they didn’t realise what they had on their hands as that story timeline could easily have been expanded out to cover 2-3 series rather than just a seven parter.
The kid who played Eli was fantastic and I was gutted when that transitioned.
One episode into Trigger Point and thought a great opener.
Similarly enjoyed 1st episode of Griselda, really missed the Narcos series and this feels like it’s going to carry that classic Netflix druggie boxset vibe and style well.

Agreed, a lot more annoying people in it. It's ok but not quite up to the UK second season, although i am binging it the same, so it cant be all bad.

Started on this last night because of this comment. Only a few episodes in but absolutely loving it!! Cracking show. "Orbit" though, what a dick he is so far. Can already tell I'm going to despise him.

Enjoy it. It's really good. Another season is planned.
I’m going to stick with Masters of the Air as I have such high hopes for it. But … it’s no Band of Brothers. The action scenes are impressively shot but understandably quite limited and repetitive so far (Bombers dodging AA fire).
Comments
Not for me more for the teenagers IMO
Will join Band of Brothers and the Pacific as an excellent series I reckon - Some of the shots are outstanding.
Can't wait for series two.

The Glory. The bullying is brutal but essential for the revenge plot. 8/10
Sisyphus:The Myth. Really good sci-fi drama.
PC Cocking.
Then he gets ill health retirement and the coppers ill treating the suicidal women resign before any disciplinary hearing.
Shocking.

Z nation was properly funny
Now persuading family & friends to give it a go.

Is well worth a watch really enjoyed it 👍
