Mammon, and Mammon 2.
Violent murders, newspaper reporters, families and backstabbing politics.
Great stuff, Norwegian btw.

I rate 'Shots Fired' on FOX so far.

I'm going to start this. Along a similar theme, I've just finished Fauda (Chaos in English I think) - an Israeli ten, 30 minute-parter about a security unit doing what they do, with plenty of good guys/bad guys line-blurring. It's on Netflix I think. Don't for a second think it's some ropey Middle East production with no budget, it's far from it. Exciting stuff.

Marco Polo on Netflix. Really enjoyed it, great production & top Martial Arts scenes. Kublai Khan is brilliantly played by Benedict Wong.
Production scale wise only Game of Thrones can match it according to Los Angeles Times.
Well worth taking the time to binge watch the 2 seasons that have so far reached our screens. There is surely more to come as the end of season 2 doesn't totally conclude the story ( not wanting to spoil it )
Also a good spin off "100 Eyes" about the Monk who trains The Khans consorts in Martial Arts - quite brilliantly.

Yep, excellent. Couple of Fauda bods in this too so I expect there'll be more high profile things coming from there. Thanks. Good recommendation.
I know I'm niche within a niche here, but a while ago I was rummaging around for replacements for Supergirl and Netflix's Lemony Snickets, for the nearly teen stat club jnr's.
Anyhoo, on Netflix we stumbled across:-
We've only watched the pilot but the kids were hooked into it, IMDB likes it, and further investigation has it as being made by the Moron church (not that that's apparent) although it will guarantee child friendly content.

Isn't it just? Liked it a lot.
I've just finished GLOW - a Netflix comedy/drama which I ruddy loved. Set in the 80s, about the start of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling: tight funny script, great characters that develop well, touches nicely on things 80s and women in the 80s, Marc Maron (never seen him act before but he's excellent), and there are lots of people on here who'd like it as much as I do, I guarantee it!
On Netflix - I recently enjoyed:
Narcos
El Chapo
Both of a similar ilk about very famous drug barons and the fight against them.

That was great. Unpleasant watching the main villain and his use of secateurs!

ABC's Blackbox. May only be on dvd/blueray now, though- worth seeking out, if you're into medical drama.
Oh, and btw,, Kelly Reilly is FIT.

Ozark on Netflix, imo the best tv series since Breaking Bad and it has the potential to be even better.
Yeah, loving this at the moment.

Ive just binged all of series one and it doesn't disappoint, in fact it hits heights that Breaking Bad took 3 seasons to reach. The Snells are redneck villains who make Tuco Salamanca look like a playground bully.
Did you know that it was created by Mark Williams who was once a tv producer on Casualty.

Im co-signing Ozark too, loving it atm some really interesting characters. I find it slow at times but I still find it captivating at the same time. Im on E3 and seems like its starting to really kick off.
