If you like science fic, I would recommend 'Lost In Space' on Netflix, really enjoyed it.

It would hard to beat the original series from 1965 which ran for three series.

As someone who isnt a fan of sci fi watched first episode of Lost In Space last night.
Not bad and will return for more of it

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.

I have watched all the marvel Netflix shows and Jessica Jones would be the pick of them as it's the most grounded.  David Tennant plays such as good bad guy.  Started watching Brooklyn 99, sort of like scrubs, stupid comedy, easy watching.

Yeah Andy Samberg is very funny.

Watched "The Defiant Ones" last night. Great piece of television very interesting to get to know some of the behind the scenes stuff from some of the biggest records ever made absolutely quality stuff and very funny in parts.
I thought it was brilliant.
A great watch if you have any interest in music or indeed popular culture.
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

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.

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.

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
