TV Show recommendations

I've started Americans and I'm enjoying it. But it does have a Sons of Anarchy style lack of awareness that they're basically the basic serial killers in history

[Tony Baloney]

This Horizon programme on BBC2 looks interesting.

Just finished the final series of The Americans and would have to say it's the best series I have watched in a long long time. it can be a bit of a slow burn at times but the acting , storylines and the 80's soundtrack were a fantastic combination.

It's just brilliant TV. Up there with the best of them.

+1

Met a guy once who works in secret service or something similar, he did not specifically say. Anyhow, conversation turned to TV series, he said of all the ones (Homeland, 24, Jack Ryan)
the Americans was by far the most realistic.

Been watching the Americans again after it came up here. Third time going through it. Up to Season 2 Episode 9. Have lost count of how many people they've killed. They just snuck into a covert Contra training camp and killed 6 people.

Very realistic.

The couple who its sorta based upon were according to neighbours very quiet and in no way up the sheanigans of the Americans duo. But there are themes taken on by the series such as the children, sleeper spies having children!!!  and did anybody consider how that would affect the children.

The Jeremy Clarkson farming thing on prime is very good.

The Jeremy Clarkson farming thing on prime is very good.

It is. Watched first episode last night and thought it was excellent. From the reviews I've read it seems to be going down well with farmers and non-farmers

I watched Tehran on Newbridge Exile's recommendation, I thought it to be excellent viewing, in the genre of The Bureau (French).

Well worth it, a little slow in the beginning but one of the best I have seen. Smoking hot Keri Russell does not hurt.

ah feck, just started S2, without Prime anywhere else I can view S3 when the time comes?

Don't know of any other way to watch 3rd series, Martin Freeman's character is some change from he was in The Office, its a really good watch

Sophie a murder in west Cork on Netflix is worth a watch. Bizarre in many ways, from a key witness retracting an initial statement, Bailey was an eccentric character, Sophie seen a ghostly figure,  which legends believe result in imminent death, the French courts conviction in absentia, the gross incompetence of the Gardai & many other fine details. Baileys partner Jules sticking by him despite his erratic & violent behaviour, she left him in April of this year.
Mad stuff altogether, fact is stranger than fiction.

Surprised this hasn't got a thread of its own. Intriguing story with so many questions and bizarre characters.
