Bordertown series 1 was decent and no issue with it being subtitled, series 2 is English dubbed and takes away from the enjoyment of it.

True Detective final episode was pretty poor.
You're beyond redemption  :)

That was a stunning final episode from start to finish and what a bar fight!
I was a couple of  episodes in before I  figure out that the flashback scenes were fragments expressing themselves from Purple Hays' memories.
But somehow, the final jigsaw sized pieces of the memories of 23 years finally fell into place in that last episode in a understated  poignant and touching fashion.
It's not over yet, there's still a letterbox sized door open to the possibilities of what the son does with that note he put in his pocket,  it was encouraging that he thought the old man might have worked out something there, instead of chucking it away.

An aside,  Woody the serial killer stalking Arkansas!!  who'd have guessed that one ;D

Change your settings in Netflix. Turn on original language and subtitles.

Finished fourth series of Breaking Bad.

It did get better in 3 and 4, I have to say. I think not knowing what would happen between the two boyos and Gus (and others) kept things on edge.

Going to start on 5 soon. Actually looking forward to see how it pans out.

Said it a few times on here, unbelievably good show, once you get her finished up, get on to Better Call Saul, another great show.

I actually just finished series 1 of Mayans MC, was a bit slow at the start but really got hooked on it and thought it was excellent, looking forward to series 2, which looks like it'll actually bring a bit more of Sons of Anarchy in to it

Losers on Netflix.
Excellent sports documentary series.

Started watching Orange is the new black on TG4 lately.

It's alright, but it's no Prisoner Cell Block H. I'll stick with it for now.

Been watching it myself, just finished the one about the curling, reminds me so much of the current way of Gaelic football, so many parrells with a team who just completely ruined every game they played and an end justifying the means mentality, would really encourage any Gaa fans to watch it

Anybody watched Fleabag?? It's very dark but funny as well worth a watch!

Yes the one on Surya Bonaly Episode 3 makes you hate any sport that is reliant on Judges!
(This is why I hate modern day Irish Dancing).

cartoon hd or movie hd. I have the android apps for both downloaded to the phone and cast it to the TV which is handier. Though I'm sure you download them to some.andorid boxes which would be even handier.
