I've finished the 3 series of the The Bureau, aka Le Bureau des Légendes. Without any doubt it's the best spy centric drama ever conceived
and ranks up there as a top class tv drama..

Best recommendation I've ever taken off this thread. Six episodes in and it's one of the most gripping pieces of TV I've ever seen. The scale and scope of it is insanely ambitious but not once does it ever feel overstretched. Absolutely stunning.

Having just watched The Killing Season 1 and 2 I had the Bureau lined up next to start watching.  Glad to hear that the recommendation was spot on.

This on Netflix or some of those illegal sites?

Finished Season 3 of The Bureau yesterday. Brilliant stuff altogether. Season 4 began filming in February so will hopefully be out later this year.

Happy days, next on the list (I see it's on Terrarium TV)

Must say the latest season of Homeland is excellent. Handmaids Tale has started very well too

Disclaimer that I've never seen Homeland but a lot of the English language reviews that I've read of The Bureau have essentially said that it's what Homeland could be if it wasn't dumbed down for idiots...

I'm obviously an idiot  ;D as I really enjoy Homeland. I'm looking forward to watching the last episode tonight..

Homeland is so far fetched in this series, still compelling viewing though.

In fairness I enjoy Designated Survivor but I'd never rank it as a great TV show. Give the Bureau a go. As I've said, can't recommend it highly enough.

Westworld Series 2 started well last week I thought.

Yeah watched the first two recently and watched a warm up to get my head around it again.. Its a very slick show with seriously good actors.. Thandie Newton is Gorgeous!!!!!!!! wife has given up on me  :P

I always loved the original so I'm very biased to the current show, when some people just don't get it

None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Homeland is a cut above Designated Survivor (which I eventually gave up on) most of the shows that go mainstream are dumbed down to some degree, even last week there was something that happened in Homeland that I thought fcuk me how unlikely is that. Most people won't watch anything that will tax their brain too much, it'd interfere with their simultaneous internet surfing.

Yeah The Bureau is on my list I need something new to get my teeth into. Give Homeland a try it won't change your life but it might surprise you.

That's one thing I found with The Bureau. I'm an awful p***k for using my phone constantly but because of both how smart it was and the fact it was in French subtitled into English, it meant I had to just put the phone down completely.

21st century and first world problems and all that but definitely a good thing!

Really enjoying Billions S3. I thought it would've tailed off but not the case!
