Humans is the best new show on TV this year.

The Jinx documentary series HBO did on Robert Durst was incredible too.

Watched the first 2 Episodes last night. Mad craic. Very good so far.

Anybody given Narcos a try? I'm about halfway through, they were some boys :o
Good show. Wanes a bit in the last few episodes imo.
Narcos is very good, took me a bit to get use to reading the subtitles but didn't even notice after a while.

Just started watching Fear the Walking Dead, a slow burner to be sure but I'm liking it and think it could be very good.
Don't like the lead actor though.

I asked this in the movie thread already, but really should have been in here.
Thoughts on Marco Polo?
Might give it a try

I enjoyed the first episode anyway.
But then I really liked the first series and the film as well.

just while wer on topic, have ye seen Inside Llweyn Davis? Was tempted by it. Colin Farrell's new Irish based show The Lobster looks very quirky on it too, could be good.

Peaky Blinders is a great show, I believe they are making another season, your man Cillian Murphy is very good in it.

A fella in a bar in Boston heard my accent and told me I should watch it.

He was right! Great show.

"Arrr, bostin en it?"

Bwas- tin!

Nah, "bostin" in Brum.
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

Fear the Walking Dead is pretty poor so far.
I got through half of the first episode and turned it off.  Is it worth trying again?
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight

Depends what you're looking for. 

If you want the gore/zombie massacre of the original series, skip it.   

But if you like the development of an increasing sense of dread, as the characters gradually become aware of the inevitable outcome the audience already knows of, they do a really good job of that, and you should watch.   

Worked for me anyway.

watched a couple of episodes and will prob go back to it. Was getting tired of the Walking Dead, but the first 2 episodes of the new season have been very good

The latest Blacklist is very good. Red is some operator

Main Street

Fargo season 2 has just started
It's superb, looks even better than season 1.
More happened in that first episode  than in an average tv drama's season, yet it hardly got out plodding pace.
And there's some cast.

Thoroughly enjoyed it, never waned for me at all...
