Anybody Stateside catch the premiere of Homeland last night? I'm wondering whether to fire up the old Kodi box or just wait til RTE show it later in the week..

I was surprised when I saw a promo for the new season of Homeland, it felt like a show that had ended years ago.

It lost its mojo in the last couple of series but still watchable

Megaman

aye not as good as previously but still watchable

Started to watch Gomorrah without realising it was subtitled, couldn't watch it, dont know how anyone can enjoy tv that is fully subtitled.

Ruling yourself out from watching some of the best TV (not to say movies) of the last 10/15 years with that approach.

Personally, I find subtitles make me more attentive to a show as I'm not checking my phone or sending a text due to having to pay attention. It takes a momentary glance to read a subtitle, don't think it's a distraction at all.

Started Manhunt Unabomber. Very good so far. Paul Bethany excellent in it.

You're missing out on The Bridge, The Killing, Spiral and Gomorrah off the top of my head.
Where do you stand on black and white??  ;D

Just watched the first 3 episodes of the young offenders. Excellent so far. Very funny and good characters.

Watched Eps 2 last nite. Have to say its a good watch. Some laugh out loud moments

Main Street

I have been watching Four Seasons in Havana
(Cuatro estaciones en La Habana)
I see it's on netflix for those who subscribe to such services.
The beauty of Havana is captured to a tee in this 'Cuba Noir' drama.

Save Me - a Sky production on Sky Atlantic is very good so far, 4 episodes in. Most of Sky's home grown productions have a tendency to be shit.

The Looming Tower on Amazon very good so far. US counterterrorism activities and conflicts between FBI and CIA in the years building up to 9/11.
