Main Street

I've started watching  "Billions" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4270492/  with Paul Giamatti (finally being hooked up with a decent looking bird) plays the honest prosecutor doggedly on the trail of a fabulously rich inside trader. It's not bad, at the very least it returns good popcorn value, though It does exaggerate feelings of impoverishment.  "They" say it does come close to the Wall St crooked reality.

Narcos Season 2 - Awesome
Designated Survivor - 2 Episodes in it has potential enjoying so far
Brooklyn Nine-Nine - New series has started well very enjoyable comedy
The Fall - A lot of setting up done in the new episode interested to see where it goes now.
National Treasure - First class acting as you'd expect very interesting storyline so far

Have started Magnifica 70, a Brazilian drama available on All 4 (Walter presents). 2 episodes in and it's very good, has some dynamite reviews.

Also has a clinker opening tune https://youtu.be/BliqScxpNRs

Is it based on the original 1970's film? It starred Yul Brenner and the most wooden actor that ever appeared on film, Richard Benjamin.

Yeah same premise - some of the Pilot is from the android's perspective though - so far very interesting

Watched it last night. Really big cast in it and seems like it'll be a grower. Def promising but all seems to be in the Western World, not sure of there is medieval or roman world.

Westworld seems very strange but I'll stick with it.

The Fall has pulled the hand brake up this season very slow first two episodes!

Madam Secretary is following a strange tack this second season with the election. Not sure it makes sense!!

National Treasure is heating up well I think the last one is next week. Julie Walters is fair handy at the aul acting.

Brooklyn Nine Nine has started the new series as it left off. Great comedy!

If anyone gets a chance check out 'Motherland" from BBC. They've a pilot made written by Graham Linehan and Sharon Horgan which is excellent. I would imagine they will commission it at some stage!

Finished with the Fall aftee tonite. Can't take the slow pace of it anymore.

That's just, like your opinion man.

Was in the paper during the week that the viewing figures have dropped off as people have lost patience with it.

Please please let something of substance happen next week or I'll be out too!!!

I understand the slow burn but you need something mad to happen every once in a while to keep the interest spiked... Some of the acting is horrific as well especially the young blade!
