I watch the first episode of Tiger King last night, and while interesting and wacky I don't get the adulation it has been receiving
- edit I see Taylor has just posted that its improves with each episode so I'll keep going

I watched two Harlan Coben crime dramas on Netflix, The Stranger and Safe, back to back. Both 6 or 8 episodes long and I really enjoyed them. Twists and turns, intertwining story lines, keeps you interested and guessing while you know there's an ending coming not too far away.

Watching Designated Survivor, about 12 or 14 episodes in, which I completely missed first time around. I'm a big fan of pretty much all the White House boxsets. While this isn't in the class of West Wing or House of Cards, it's still good. Kiefer's not brilliant, but most of the rest of the cast is very good.

Ballers final series was meh. I had enjoyed all the previous series

Finished Curb your Enthusiasm Series 10. Brilliant, like all the other series (apart from Series 1). Wife absolutely hates it  ;D

The Harlan Coben dramas are both very good.
Plenty of twists as you say and they dont drag the shite out of the episodes which is the downfall of so many shows which start out good.

Was disappointed with Ballers final series - I dont actually think they had left anywhere else to go if that makes sense

Caught 'My Left Nut' last night on BBC.

Set in Belfast.

Not sure what to make of it yet

Got recommended it too. Bit cringe worthy at times but enjoyed it. First episode I thought what the hell lol.

3 episodes into Messiah on Netflix, really interesting, lot of potential.
Gorged on this, very very good, compelling viewing. The religious element might put some people off but I loved it, good balance to the story, it's only getting going too.
Sorry to quote myself, but I cant believe this show has gone so unnoticed. I thought it was excellent.

The end of Love/Hate was brilliant.  Dexter wasn't brilliant but it wasn't bad either, I liked the idea of him where he ended up.  The whole boat into the storm thing was stupid obviously.

Seriously, on a thread where people are recommending shows to watch, you go and give away the ending?! I sometimes wonder about people.
Wouldn't be the first time nrico did that on here.

Great show, waiting on next set
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Has anyone seen Occupied on Netflix?

I've had it recommended to me. A Norwegian political thriller?

I didn't watch it on Netflix, but on BBC 4,
I suppose it would be a similar experience.

Start with Ep 1 and see how you get on, you've already had it recommended to you

quit yo jibbajabba

Always good to start with Ep1 ive found 😎

he was definitely eccentric, a bit of a David Brent type figure. The way he spoke to some of the staff seemed over the top but if truth be told some of them needed a rocket up the arse. Seemed to be getting it easy for too long.
