Thought the first one was really good but this series has too much jumping back and forward in time

Missing is great, yes a bitta bouncing about with dates but the French actor is outstanding!

Westworld took on a great twist this week

Hugely irritating and for no good reason that contributes to the drama - only trying to be arty-farty. It's gripping, but the story could be told so much better if they concentrated on the core value of drama - i.e. tell the story and don't let the mechanics of the production intrude in and distract from the story. Any seanachaí of the last 100 years anywhere in this country could have told them that. And also could have told them that even the blackest story is improved by the occasional injection of humour.

I'm still riveted by it, though.

Watched The Grand Tour. I know it got decent reviews but I thought it dragged and was average. A lot of the jokes weren't great.

The Expanse on Netflix, a sci-fi thriller series, easy to watch and very bingeable.

I don't think it's trying to be arty farty, that implies being pretentious without substance and this drama has substance. I'd give the drama some leeway, it's different, trying something different and I'd hazard a guess that it's more popular than the 1st series.
I don't mind admitting I got lost and  confused, even right from the beginning when the timelines crossed each other seamlessly, with the 2 girls walking different paths though 2 different periods in time,  without any indication. The only solution I had to sort out the timelines and scenes in my head was to watch the first 4 episodes  a second time, though I could speed through much of it.

I've just watched Episode 7 of Westworld and it was excellent. Anyone that decided to stop should keep going.

Interested to hear any views on Black Mirror on Nextflix... has anybody watched it yet?

Like it.

Watched S3E3 the other night. JESUS CHRIST!

I KNOW!!!!!

Can't believe there hasn't been more talk of it on here I thought it was one of the most amazing pieces of TV I've ever seen!!!

The rest of it is very good but Episode 3 is just head and shoulders above any of the other episodes of it.

Just watched it. Heart-thumping stuff. A very simple story but amazing and horrifying.

[Harold Disgracey]

Watched it today as well, excellent.

I'm currently housebound so I also watched the first 5 episodes of Narcos.

I am jealous.

If I am ever unfortunate enough to suffer memory loss, please put on Breaking Bad for me, over and over.

Good final episode of The Missing. Tied up a lot of things and finished with Baptitse saying Trois! Does that mean season 3?

Excellent show, as sometimes these tv dramas have a great start decent middle and shit finish.... Baptise was/is a great character and very well acted by Tcheky Karyo

As per usual, I'm way behind everything. I've recently got into Parks and Recreation. Hilarious US sitcom, in the same vein as The Office, but much gentler. Very zany, with likable characters and relationships.
