Finished series 2 of Billions there. Much much better than the 1st series. Such a well performed show.

It's great. Wouldn't have minded seeing a bit more of Chuck's missus in her "party gear" though  :-X :-*

The keepers ... a 7 episode series on Netflix
The Keepers reveals that the case of Sister Cathy Cesnik, while not very famous, is actually bigger than most of those referenced. Initially, the story does seem like just another singular whodunit situation. As the series goes on, the micro tik-tok of one woman's death expands to the macro investigation of a Catholic Church cover-up with a side of possible police corruption..

A must watch ...
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..

Person of Interest reached its end in an unusually accomplished and satisfactory way for a TV series. So much so it needs a eulogy.

Scroll back far enough and you'll find me condemning series 1 of this show as steaming horseshit. But once the longer narrative started to play out in series 2, it became rather clever. Series 3 was absolutely genius. Series 4 and 5 not quite the same heights but each had 4-5 staggeringly good episodes.

If somehow HBO could take control of the team behind this concept, and give them a Wire-style freedom from making self contained episodes, in favour of always feeding an extended narrative, it could be the greatest TV ever.

I watched Person Of Interest from the start and finished it last year.  One of my favourite shows and a great ending.  Was actually on youtube last week reqatching that final scene between Harold and John, brilliant.  Some brilliant episodes in the show, some great scenes with powerful music too with the Jim Robinson German Spy scene one of my favourite (with the tune by Mogwai - I Know You Are, But What Am I), the Judgement episode end scene (Intro by The Xx) and the one after Carter went with Johnny Cash Hurt.

There was some big names attached to the show such as Jonathan Nolan and JJ Abrams.

Master of None on Netflix. A bit quirky but enjoyable and has some laugh out loud moments.

I fell asleep twice.
I had to have it explained to me what was happening in the dream sequence, I found a good explanation here http://www.thewrap.com/twin-peaks-dream-sequence-analysis-analyzed-dale-cooper-laura-palmer/,
after that I had another look at the episode and it's pretty good,really well done.
Though it's still weird shite altogether
