Anyone following that Survivor show on BBC?  Surprisingly very good although mightn't be everyone's cup of tea.  Only a few weeks left of it now

Enjoyed it. I got caught out twice with it though. Watched the first few episodes then realised it was only half the series then when the rest came out I watched them before realising you had to wait another while for the finale. Decent concept though. You'd need some luck to come through something like that with so many people and so many ways to get eliminated. I'm not usually a reality tv guy but liked this.

Enjoying Fargo season 5 so far. Jon Hamm, Juno Temple and Jennifer Jason Leigh main stars. Return to form (and Minnesota/North Dakota!) after an iffy season 4.

Season 2 still one of the best series of TV I've ever seen.

Have never watched this. Is it worth getting into?

Currently mid-way through Season 3 of Mr. Mercedes. I think it is a brilliant series.

Fargo is outstanding overall.

Each season is a separate story set in a different time period. They all have some loose, distant connection to the movie e.g. one of them has a character who got rich when he found the bag of ransom money Steve Buscemi's character buried in the snow. And like the movie they're mostly about average, everyday people who get in over their heads when they get get involved in some scheme or with criminals. There's usually a diligent, clever but underestimated cop too.

Definitely recommend it, with the exception of Season 4.

Watched the first two seasons of Mr Mercedes. First was brilliant. Second lost me a bit with the whole committing-evil-while-in-a-coma thing! Don't think I watched the third. Gleason is always fantastic though.

Yeah that was a bit far fetched but then you have to remember Stephen King wrote the books.
Thy guy who played Mr Mercedes was a deadly actor too to be fair.

Myself and the wife have been watching Shetland from S1 through Nov & Dec, now on S7 with only one left after this. Great viewing.

Is Shetland any good with Ashley Jensen? We enjoyed it with Douglas Henshall.
