There's a comedy pilot on the Beeb called "Our Ex-Wife", it's really funny, especially (perhaps?) for those of us who've been through the whole divorce stuff
Watched a new sitcom (pilot I think) called "We Are The Jury" or some such the other night. I can confidently assert that it was the biggest pile of shite I've ever seen. Unbelievably awful.
Narcos season 2 lived up to season 1 in my view. There were times it tried to show Pablo in too nice light but it was solid, addictive entertainment. Well worth a go on Netflix.
I watched the pilot of Jean-Claude Van Damme's new show, 'Jean-Claude Van Johnson'. The first 5 minute send up of his personal life was funny but the joke ran thin pretty quickly. It's a shame as I wanted to like it.

Yer I loved it, looking forward to the next series

Yep total shite but nowhere near as bad as the crap Successville the night before.
I waited so i didn't do a spoiler on "One of Us" The Eric Cantona look alike Character Bill Douglas played by John lynch, wasn't the luckiest bloke around.
His Wife was having an affair with the Handy man. The Handy man who had worked for him for decades blackmails him. Not the first time she had played away from home. His son who appeared to have aspergers grassed both families up. He found out he had Parkinsons disease. He found out his beloved Daughter wasn't his Daughter. On the wedding Day he knew that his Daughter that wasn't was marring her Brother. ( that would have made a cracking Father's speech) In an attempted mugging, he asks the crazy druggie to murder his Son in law. (he wasn't his son in law because the girl wasn't his daughter) The druggie who you wouldn't trust to get your morning paper, not only murders the son in law but his beloved Daughter(who wasn't) (I use Yellow pages to get someone to take out folk who've upset me) He upset his next door neighbours (their son who he had murdered) He spat when he talked. He had a disappointing Lambing season. He was going to Prison for a long time after murdering the Druggie.

I'm on part 3 of 4 of 'Lava Field' which is an Icelandic crime drama that showed up on Canadian Netflix, so assume it's also on the British version.
Not sure if its been mentioned on here before but one for the likes of @PragueAddick and other Scandinoire fans. Not up the with the very best ones like the Killing and the Bridge, but still very decent and carries a lot of the hallmarks of those quality dramas.
Also, only 4 x 45 minute episodes so not such a life commitment to watch it.

Good call, thanks.
I finished "Occupied" and really enjoyed it. Tackled big geo-political issues, the personal moral dilemmas Scandis never flinch from, and characters being bumped up off at stages in the plot a US series would hesitate to do. But is still quite high-octane US style suspense, as you would expect with Jo Nesbo involved. And it certainly comes as a shock to see "the West" (i.e. us) portrayed as a bit less than reliable.
Finished Stranger Things in two sittings. Loved it.
Found Mr Robot season 2 hardwork. The plot was all over the place a difficult to follow. Still enjoyed it though.
Have also recently flown through Uncle with Nick Helm. Love his stand-up, but for some reason had never got round to watching it. Very funny. Really enjoyed it.
Narcos Season 2 next for me. Got it downloaded and ready to go.
Inside Amy Schumer is the funniest thing I've watched for a long time. My sense of humour is pretty messed up though so I'm probably in a minority on this one.
Just watched the latest episode, an acquired taste is the polite way for me to describe it. Utter shit is the other.
I liked it but I'm wondering how they're going to pad it out over several seasons. I assume the central story is going to be a Robot version of Spartacus which will work well within the confines of the world they've created but is going to be trickier once the revolution happens and they break out.

The Coopers versus the rest is also good.

Big fan of the evil dead films and Bruce Campbell.
