TV Show recommendations

Me & the Mrs watched the 1st episode of Sex Education on Netflix last night, hard to explain how bad it is. They've transplanted an American High School set up into rural England somewhere but it stiĺl has US sensibilities. I know I'm not the target demographic and young uns might lap it up, but god it is awful.

Are you just trying to tell us you got the roide last night😜

New Amsterdam on prime is a decent show so far.

A guy in work recommended this to me. I sacked him the next day.

True detective, was slow to start with and the dialogue needs subtitles but it's been great the last few episodes

Very like the first series in many respects - slow, slow, slow and then in episode-4 it all goes mental at the end.

Brett a perfectly calm and harmless character unleashes his inner Rambo with a similar calm and thoughtfulness, dealing effectively with truckloads of  fat fck gut toting rednecks merging on his house.
What would Sam Peckinpah have done with that scene?
It was also the episode where Hays and Amelia had their tete la tete. That's a curious relationship with an unusual initial mating.
I'm struggling to tie together the events over three different timelines which span many decades, maybe the present timeline is more about the 2 characters experiencing  the emerging ghosts of their past and that's the starting point for having a perspective on the past timelines in the series.

Loved True Detective season 1 and this season is good too although it does move very slowly.  I have my suspicions that the daughter wasn't talking about her da when she phoned the cops, definitely something dodge about the DA who was beside the da on TV.

The rhythm of a whodunnit is missing.
It's not a whodunnit per se, at least not like the excellent Broadchurch which keeps the twists moving from episode to episode keeping the audience on their toes. TD3 is character driven, there is a whodunnit but the drama is about the characters.
Where else in modern  tv drama do you have so many one on ones? At the end of ep 5 there's a 10 minute one on one between the two leading protaginists. This doesn't happen as a rule with tv or film drama and rarely in theatre.
TD3 is a superb tv drama.

Watched Russian Doll. Twenty plus minutes an episode so easy watched. Decent enough. Just starting IT Crowd again. It's very like Father Ted in ways. Never gets old.

Watched a documentary called Free Solo about the rock climber Alex Honnold and his attempt o scale El Capitan without the use of ropes. Unbelievable and well worth a watch.

IT Crowd and Fr Ted have a similar tempo!

Very well described. Love the intensity of it, some people hate slow burning plots, but for me if the writing is good and they've casted the right actors then it's something I can believe in

TD3 not doing it for me at all I have to say.

Das Boot series is decent.
