Episodes back on BBC2, still consistently very funny.

Saw a couple UK shows on Netflix here this weekend

Mavericks: A history of the Mavericks in sport who with unbridled talent never really made the most of their potential through discipline, addiction, or just general arsery issues. Gazza, Merson, Osgood, Cantona etc.. Just finished the football one - really enjoyable

Chronicles of a Champion Golfer: I guess this might be older - but really enjoyable and I'd never heard of it before. Episode 1, Tiger Woods. Episode 2, The Shark. Good Stuff

Marcella was very good but felt there were a lot of loose ends they just left hanging or ended stupidly.

Very well acted though but the ending seemed to be setting up series 3 as her to become some kind of comic book creation!

I need a new boxset. . And don't have the time for starting some and not finishing.. I'm not into waking dead or breaking bad / the wire etc
My fave shows are .. game of thrones / mad men / manhunt unbomber / peaky blinders .. so any suggestions based on my likes ??

Power is brilliant.

Agree about Marcella. It was a rubbish ending. Ridiculous in fact. Too many loose ends.

Started watching a show called Haters back off, only found out after 3 episodes it's a kids show! Some of it is very funny

Cant remember the name of it now but a show on netflilx about a woman who apparently loses the plot and kills a guy she doesnt know on a day out to the beach with the family one day. Was v good.

Cant mind the name at all now

Just as a matter of interest, why do you say you are not into breaking bad/ the wire etc?
Have you watched any of them?

The attraction of Breaking Bad took me some time to see. Ibwas into The Wire from the first episode. Give them both time and you'll get the reward.
