Obviously you'll be all over Engrenages (Spiral) on BBC like a rash, then, CC?

Been a great series.

The Expanse

I have just started watching this recently, on season 2 now, initially I avoided it because although I like "quality" space movies they are few and far between and I thought this might be another Battlestar Galactica. I even started and quit after the first few minutes but then gave it another try and boy is it good. Good story-line that holds your attention, great effects like the zero G stuff and excellent space shots.

I don't watch a lot of TV so its taken me a while to get through the 5 series of Z Nation, i loved every minute if you haven't seen it its definitely worth a look.

I've been like this for the best part of a year and still not gotten the bullet. Might have to just jump in!

Give it a go, there were one or two OTT moments for me but on the whole I thought all 5 seasons were very good.

ALICE on Netflix , Korean time travel, detective, love story in 16 episodes. Really enjoyed it.
Just watched first episode of Dark looked good.

Zeeozerozero, on Nowtv, really good action/crime drama.

 

[moto748]

Dark is brilliant. Literally the best thing on Netflix in my book. A series that rewards a bit of effort to follow. Acting, story, and, especially, casting are wonderful.

Alice has all the Korean tropes if you watch a lot of them. It's a bit daft really, but I enjoyed it well enough.

The Expanse

Great show but wasn't as keen on the latest season. For some reason it just didn't hold my attention.

New series of Motherland started last week, second episode tonight BBC 9pm.

Snappy,quality comedy writing by Graham Lineham and Sharon Horgan with a great cast.

Just watched the half way through sort of finale to The Nevers from HBO and suddenly the real annoyance of stuff seeming missed out from Ep 5 makes a whole lot more sense, and it retrospectively makes the rest of the series a whole lot smarter too. If you can put aside the plonker who directed this first set of six, then it’s a lot of fun steampunk Victorian gender politics Sci Fi - now that’s not a description I’ve ever used before!

Forgot about it but Ted Lasso is a very good watch. Looking forward to the new series

Fargo Season 4 is out on 4 player, very watchable though all the ads grate somewhat.

I'm watching it weekly on C4. I have it on Season Record. Then I watch it half an hour 'late'. and FF through the ads.

Season record? Is that part of the player or is that onto a hard drive?

Virgin box.

About the only advantage of being with them, I think!
