Looks good, looking forward to it starting.
TV at the minute is poor, so a new HBO series is badly needed
I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either

Has American Crime being mentioned on this thread? Well done to RTE for picking this up. Very good so far.

Watched Fargo recently, was so good. 10 episodes, just the 1 series but brilliant viewing. Billy Bob Thornton & Martin Freeman were superb in it. Well worth a watch.

Has anyone watched Peaky Blinders ?
Just watched first two episodes on Netflix.

Peaky Blinders is decent without being amazing.

Couldn't get past the awful attempts at Birmingham accents.

and Sam Neil sounding like Harry Enfield's 'William Ulsterman'..."I ASKED FOR CHEDDAR CHEESE AND PINEAPPLE ON A STTTTICK!"

Ha ha, have to look that one up again on youtube; a classic.

We just finished Season 1 of Marco Polo on Netflix.

Really enjoyed it.

Just scanned the reviews and the critics range from 'turning it off after a couple of episodes' to 'not too bad really'. It does start slowly with a bit too much focus on Polo, but it gets really good as you get to know more of the characters. Netflix has just announced a 2nd season too.

I quite enjoyed Peaky Blinders if you can get past the shit accents.

Have to say No Offence the other night was pretty good. Talk about starting a series with a bang it was as shocking an opening sequence as I've seen!!

Peaky Blinders is good enough so far... Have only seen the first series though.

The Brummie accents aren't too bad, think they've been captured quite well. The Belfast accent is horrible though! I read Neill had to tone it down as it is also targeted at a US audience; I have never come across anyone that speaks like that! Other than William Ulsterman of course.

Agent Orange

Anyone else watching Peter Kay's Car Share? It's typical Kay, simple Jokes, perfectly timed.

Jap Si  ;D

Probably late to the show, but Better Call Saul was excellent. Looking forward to next season.

Recently watched the first 5 seasons of the Walking Dead, having never seen it. Brilliant stuff!

I started a bit of Lillyhammer, with Steve vanZandt. Basically his Silvio Dante character exiled in northern Norway. Pretty good so far, quite amusing, albeit not too gripping.
