Just binged on the fitst series of Justified. I can't understand how I have missed this. 

Recently finished this after giving up on the first season years ago despite being a huge fan of the leads in it. Gets better as it goes on and finishes well, confirmed what I always knew that Walton Goggins is the finest actor on TV. Can’t wait to see him in the Righteous Gemstones.

I was on the edge of my seat with the finale of The Handmaid's Tale.

Watched Screenwipe for the first time last night, funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

I tried Legacies now and it is rather interesting. Waiting for the second season. How will it be?

Bit late to the show, but new to Netflix (kept it after the free trial) - just finished S2 of Better Call Saul - it is a fantastic program in every way.

Also blitzed 2 series of Ozark - Jason Bateman is brilliant in it.  Highly recommend it.

You've picked a good time to start. New series isn't out until next year so you don't have to rush through it. 

It keeps getting better. Think it tops Breaking Bad now

I guess because I know where it ends up, I'm happy for it to meander as much as it likes getting there.  Loving the nods to BB though - the episode last night was the first with Los Pollos Hermanos!

It also makes me think how underused Odenkirk was in BB.  He is brilliant.

Binged on The Capture. I was quite intrigued and there are plenty of twists and turns.

Thought the latest South Park was bang on form.

Yeah wasn’t up there with the classic episodes/series or anything but was definitely a step in the right direction after a few shakey seasons + the episode that preceded it. Topical but also outright ridiculous, and loved the call back to previous episodes - didn’t feel forced like it often has lately.

Yep. It truly is just the Randy Marsh Show now.

Now trending globally.

Just finished Dark crystal, age of resistance. Never seen or heard of the film....but this might be my favourite thing netflix has put on. Hup is an absolute boss

The new season of Jack Ryan isn't too shabby. Made up for the disappointing Walking Dead. It's a pity Amazon put the whole series of a programme all at once as I will binge in one sitting leaving me bereft on a weekly basis. I rather enjoy waiting a week for each episode.

Third series of Atypical was as lovely as the first two.

Finished it today, not that it needed much improvement but it truly gets better each season. I fear Netflix chopping it soon though. 

[MrZigster]

Really enjoying Watchmen.

The latest Mr Robot episode was a great 50 minute dialogue free montage. I know it's been done a lot (Inside No. 9 & Bojack Horseman spring to mind) but always impresses me.

I think it’s got one more season in it with that suggestion in the last episode that S&Z move in together.  I wouldn’t be sad for it to end after that.

Watched the first episode of His Dark Materials last night, thought it was pretty decent. Clearly a bigger budget than BBC's normal  drama's. Just hope it's better than the film, that was naff

Thought it was a solid start, looks like its not gonna miss loads of themes from the books like the film did and should have enough time to pace it properly. Feeling quite excited for how it's going to progress.

I watched it last night and was quite impressed too.  Wonder how far into the books they'll get as books 2 & 3 weren't a patch on the first one.

I don't think anyone can make the word "thanks" sound so much like "fuck off you fuckin prick" as well as Jessica Barden does in End of the Fucking World

I've just finished watching the first season 60 Days In, it's an US show where averages people go in jail for 60 days with hidden cameras watching them. There's a lot of talk from the warden about how they want to do this to fix problem in the jail and there's some interesting bits like jail etiquette, watching some of the contestants changing their outlook on prisoners/the system etc but at time it feels too much like typical reality tv with getting obnoxious people on tv for their quick fame.

Guilt on BBC.  Watched the first two episodes twice (as my wife wants to watch With me but I don’t have the patience to wait). Great story, actors, twists and soundtrack. Also features a proper old school fictional record store In Leith.

The greatest moment in I'm a Celeb history:

I have been anticipating War of the World's. I quite enjoyed it but felt it all a little rushed. It does nhowever along with His Dark Materials makes a good Sunday evening viewing.
