On the second episode, bit slow does it pick up?

Yes, definitely worth it for the ending. I did the whole lot in one sitting though..����

Yeah Im looking forward to S2, not quite sure where it goes as I was abit gutted about one of the characters getting killed off (wont say who they are to cause any spoilers) I found them interesting though, they shouldnt of called them hillbillies, or was it rednecks? though hahs

I made a note of this when you mentioned it - am now on series/season 3 and loving it (hence this late night posting!). The way they explore the ripple effect of a crime/s is excellent; and watching the core of actors (Timothy Hutton, Felicity Huffman and more, all excellent) doing completely different roles each series is really enjoyable. Looks great, filmed very cleverly. Not a little harrowing at points.
Great recommendation sir

Nope, I think I got to where you are now, but by this point it was only because Gillian Anderson made an appearance, and let's face it 'you never know'
I've just finished the series.....still haven't got a fecking clue what it was all about.

I wouldn't bother with "Twin Peaks" then - that makes "American Gods" looks logical by comparison

Continuing this great (French) series, not quite as good as (Danish) Borgen imho but pretty good, fast-paced political shenanigans.

Thanks for the heads up. I will certainly swerve!

I'll second that. I'm a huge David Lynch fan but this series of Twin Peaks has been impenetrable

And to pay you all back for some of the belting shows suggested on here, I give you a couple of new ones that were under my radar at least -
Narcos season 3 starts on Thursday, HBO. 'Nuff said.
The Deuce - just watched the pilot which is knocking around now, the series continues next month. David Simon's new TV offering: NY city in the 80s, it's his familiar multi-character story-telling, social-focussed, seedy underbelly type stuff, which I really like. A few faces from The Wire and Treme crop up, and I thought it inevitably, grimly, very watchable, as all the parts of the stories are slowly but surely put into motion, Perhaps not one for a romantic night in though - it's far from a laugh a minute.

Also starting shortly is "American Horror Story - Cult". This hasn't been as good since Jessica Lange left the cast but I'll check it out as it still beats a lot of the other stuff out there
