Binged 13 episodes of Designated survivor over the last 2 nights, really enjoying it although it does have the usual cheesy US show moments. Very reminiscent of 24.

McMafia on BBC. Looks really good, James Norton is a super actor, he's apparently on the people behind James Bond's radar when Daniel Craig leaves so a promising name at the moment

Season 2 of Travelers now up on Netflix.

 

Decent sci-fi that doesn't rely on special effects.

Great show, although does get a bit predictable.

 

I think I just love anything with Kiefer in it.

Watched Manhunt - Unabomber on Netflix. Watch the full series in one day, which is always a good sign. Well worth a watch. Have been watching Mindhunter too, but can only do an episode at a time of that as find it really slow, Manhunt was much better IMO.

BBC4 French drama - Spiral

 

Episodes 1 & 2 double bill tonight. All subtitles, good gritty setting and storyline. Paris CID investigate a mutilated body (only the torso to start with) with other storylines intertwined.

Yeah there have been 5 previous series. The last one aired about 3 years ago. I figured it was the final one.

 

Worth going back and watching from the start if you can find them online anywhere.

I've just watched the first two episodes of Godless on Netflix, shaping up to be an excellent watch.

Watched the first one of this earlier today, shows promise.

Started re-watching Game of Thrones from the beginning in the down season.  It really is  tremendous viewing.  Nearly finished season three.  Head and shoulders above anything else on the tele, including Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead etc.

Has been mentioned already but Chapo on Netflix is worth a watch. 

 

Similar to Narcos but set in Mexico. Awful life so many have under such cartels.

Started watching Van Helsing on Netflix. Not at all what I thought it was going to be, looks from the advertising likes it's going to be a teen adventure type thing. Where it's more like The Walking Dead with a group of people trying to survive after a catastrophic event that has made most of the population vampires. Not your Dracula types but more like feral beasts. Not brilliant but very watchable.

I'm on my 4th episode of the night after reading this thread. Nicely quirky.

Was it not just stuck on All 4 at once instead of being on once a week.Then has ended up on Netflix where I watched it where it can be easy to get lost.I think through word of mouth this will end up with far more viewers.

Just finished watching the Good Girls Revolt on Amazon Prime. It's loosely based on a  true story of a group of women at Newsweek magazine who banded together to sue the magazine for the right to equal opportunity to be reporters. The story is told alongside the evolving political climate in USA at the end of the 60s into 1970. Given the current pay equality issues at the BBC and the seedy stories of Holywood the series hits a very contemporary nerve. Incredibly though it hasn't got a second series and the " ... irony of a man being accused of sexual harassment having played a role in canceling a series about sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace was not lost on observers".

Apologies if mentioned but recommend Marcella on Netflix. Just started it the other night and on last episode this evening. Lots of twists. Decent watch and only 8 episodes.

Some serious uber violence in Vikings tonight. 

 

 

Terrific stuff. The makers of the Walking Dead should be made to watch that to remind them what a fight is really like

Finished Godless this morning, excellent mini series, 9/10 for me, I love a Western. Got me in the mood for more, anybody watched the Kevin Costner Netflix series The Hatfield & McCoys?
