I've got a bone to pick with you.
Mr Mercedes. Adapted from a Stephen King book - there's a gazillion of those.
On a channel called "Audience" in America - well it's not exactly HBO or Netflix is it? "An AT&T Original" - yeah whatever.
Oh hold on. Brendan Gleeson is in it? Might be a bit better than I expected.
David E Kelly's involved. I'm interested. Denis Lehane writes some episodes. Hmm. Interesting.
Episode 1 - fairly ok, interesting, could be a formulaic yawn-fest but hey, in for a penny.
Episodes 2 to 11 - holy moly this is fantastic. Every single character is real, the script is by turns dry, chuckle-loud funny, disturbing, tense; hang on, am I actually sympathetic to every single character in this, yes I think I am. Am I a bit worried about how the last episode is going to turn out? Darned right I am.
What a joy. Thank you!!

Just finished this. Fantastic series.Gritty, tense, emotional. No idea why they decided to cancel a second series. Definitely recommend, as series 1 is self-contained.

Might be a little cheesy, but I really enjoyed "Shooter" season 1, currently watching Season 2 and it's pretty good too. (Season 3 is out now also).
Might not be for everyone but I've found it a pretty fun watch.

Currently watching these three on alternate days when available:
Ozark S2
Gomorrah S3
Better Call Saul S4
Ozark is the pick for me.
BCS is a close second.
Gomorrah is just a different type of show altogether, but pretty decent if you like Mob stories and can tolerate subtitles.

'It's always Sunny in Philadelphia' started it's 13th season on FXX this week in the States - always like this dark comedy, and Danny Devito is perfect in it.

American Horror Story season 8 started last night.
The last few seasons have been pretty disappointing but it seems to be back on track. Set in the future in a post apocalypse world it kept me interested enough to keep watching. Even has Joan Collins in it.

Don,t know it has been mentioned earlier, just finished watching The Looming Tower, thought it was brilliant. About the build up to 9.11 and highlights some off the failings of the US security forces.

For anyone enjoying S1 (and pretty decent it was too), S2 just underway.

I'll say. Just finished the penltimate episode, which I found really difficult to watch - it's like a psychological whodunnit where what's going on your head may well be worse than what happened. Maybe. It's the 'not knowing' that makes this stupendous.
Great recommendation.

Nuts! Had forgotten about this, just seen they are 7 episodes in to S2. Here we go again.....

Far better than S1 imo, strong acting and twisty turney plot.
Great acting by Mo Salah's older brother playing a young lad.
Very good.

I thought Amy Adams was brilliant, the direction good, but it was far too slow and the rest of the cast seemed to have stepped out of an episode of CSI Hicksville. It did make me dig out a Led Zeppelin album though

Halfway through the 2nd series of Sneaky Pete on Prime, would definitely recommend.

Mindhunter was a great watch for me. Drama following 2 FBI agents as they attempt to understand and catch serial killers by studying their damaged psyches. Along the way, the agents pioneer the development of modern serial-killer profiling. Also Narcos, all seasons.
