Watching an Australian TV drama (on Sky) called 'The Kettering Incident' at the moment.  Set in Tasmania, it's about a young doctor returning to the community in which she grew up and became ostracized after the aforesaid 'incident'.  It's Australian TV, so I wouldn't say it is highly recommended, but I would have to say it is like Twin Peaks on speed, and very enjoyable, if you like that sort of thing (which I do).
Thanks for the thumbs up Billy
Finished it last night and it was quite good.

Finished Suits last week. I thought it a good end to the series but overall the 6th def wasnt one of my favourites.

Battering through the new series of Billions too. Not sure how i feel about this show really.  It's well performed and all but just hasnt grabbed me yet.

It did get seriously complicated in the last episode, I had to watch it all another time to get to the position where I think I've got it.
If it was set in Ireland you could expect the line
  "Is it yourself I'm talking to?  ;D

There are one or two bits of the jigsaw that I'm not 100% happy with and it'll be interesting to see if it's renewed. The first series was made in 2015.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but currently on BBC I player under the Storyville collection the is a documentary called Death on a Staircase..... it's 8 episodes but throughly mersmerizing.. I do believe I was the first to reccommend making a murderer, so those who enjoyed that will also like this..  I'm still thinking about it..

P.s give yourself an evening because it's non stop viewing

DO NOT GOOGLE UNTIL WATCHED

Thanks for this recommendation Leenie - enjoyed it as much as making a murderer. In one word (to avoid spoiling it for anyone),  what do you think, Guilty or Not Guilty?
Best take that private in case something does leak out.
Don't forget, watch the follow up  - immediately!
The Staircase II: The Last Chance 2013


That makes sense now, I should have watched it before I googled him
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

It didn't finish as well as it started - I guess they want to make a follow-up.

I thought the drama was one type of story evolving, but then in the last episode it turned into something else, another genre.
For what it was, it was done very well but I'm far from chomping at the bit to follow the story line into season 2.
On Tasmania, I had that place on a list of places to go but now it's been relegated, the depicted natives are horrid, the environment is dark and out to get you.

Mentioned this before, but nearly finished series 5 of Justified. A fairly laconic Kentucky Marshall working in his old stomping ground.

Just after knocking out Vikings in three weeks, tough going but worth it.

Anyone watched Big Little Lies?

Watching 'Love' on netflix after someone recommended it to me. Decent show.

The Stallion

Just started Big Little Lies, promising so far.

The first series of Love was watchable enough without being amazing. Haven't got round to the second one yet.

Again I will recommend Atlanta to you all, one of the best shows I watched in the last year, not an out and out comedy but is very funny in parts and quite surreal.

Hardy

The third seasons of Better Call Saul and Fargo are both coming in April. Ewan McGregor plays two roles as brothers in Fargo - some teasers here.

JoG2

The last few episodes of Billions have been very good.

Designated Survivor is back after a mid-season break and is motoring along nicely.

The Walking Dead on the other hand is dragging like buck (haven't missed a single minute though!). 16 episodes / season could be halved to 8 to keep the action levels up.
