Dark: German TV show. Have watched ep1, very good with bucket loads of potential
Started to watch the first episode but found the Englishes dubbing very off putting. It was better in German with English subtitles.

Dexter any good ?
Brilliant

Is there a storyline or is it one of those shows that you can turn on at any stage and watch away at it?
Yes there is a storyline, from S1  E1 right to the the end. It's an enjoyable yarn which you'll find out soon enough if you like it or not.

Milltown Row2

La Mante, French show on Netflix, very good
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Finished it; enjoyed it.  Hated the dubbing.

Finished this too - enjoyed it as well, though a bit derivative.  Have finished 'The Frozen Dead' too - a bit too Hannibal Lecter for my liking, though it wasn't bad.  Read the book too, so maybe enjoyment was tempered by knowing the plot.  Worth a look, as it's short; six episodes. 

Watched 'big little lies' over the weekend too.  Was impressed.

Stumbled across Manhunt: Unabomber last night and ended up watching 4 episodes.

Seems very good so far - based on how FBI profiler helped track down the unabomber - serial killer in the states from late 70s to early 90s.

Watched the whole series and thought it was excellent

Watched 6 episodes of this over the weekend. really good show.

Agree with you on the dubbing.
If you watched it on Netflix you can change the language to the native language and then turn on English subtitles.

Finished Unabomber last week myself, enjoyed it.  Possibility of a second season.

Best series ive watched in a long time.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Well impressed with unabomber too.. really enjoy 'biographical' type dramas .. any other recommendations?  .. I've seen mindhunter, enjoyed it too.
I'm trying to decide on a really meaningful message..
