TV Show recommendations

If season 1 of True Detective is all you've seen, I'd take a bit of a break before diving into the others. That first season is just too hard of an act to follow.

Season two is weird mix of good and just awful. Worth watching in the end, but a serious let-down after Season 1.

I quite liked Season 3, but it's clearly not for everyone. Only watched the first two episodes of season 4, so can't say much about that one.

TD4 was mush, the polar opposite of "natural Police"
I found TD2 watchable,the last episode wrapped it up nicely. S3 was excellent imo, I don't get why it's not rated favourably here.

After watching S1 I'd follow with S3, then see if you can watch S2.

I Would second that recommendation

For some low brow offensive comedy, Ted is good fun. The bear character not dissimilar to Danny De Vito's character in Only Sunny in Philadelphia! I thought the film Ted was awful when I first saw it, but re-watching it as a sitcom (ie not expecting any story line and waiting for the oneliners) was a better experience.

Masters of the air is absolute dogshit.

So is the new Walking Dead. The Negan one was shit too and the Daryl one was just about average.

Watching that 007 road to a million thing. Hard to know how much of it is real. There are some thick people out there and the belfast lads are doing my head in

American Conspiracy on Netflix. f**king hell. It's like the Dead Kennedys wrote a US history book.

You'd already know all the big stories from the news (Iran-Contra scandal, Reagan's "October Surprise" hostage release story), but the story begins with a murdered writer who was piecing this all together, having started with a mere software theft story. It's amazing stuff.
