Latest episode of The Walking Dead is a bit WTF!!!
Wasn't expecting that,but I feel there will be a twist to that scene yet.

Downloaded the Boxset of 1992 from Sky Arts, an Italian Political Corruption drama, 3 (from 10) Episodes in and it's a very good show so far with plenty of potential.

Yep, good show - very cynical, quite sad.

Season 3 of the Blacklist starts tonight for those that are interested. Great show.

Season 2 ep 3 of Fargo and it's just superb, re script, story, plot, characters, acting, direction and cinematography and anything else that matters. TV drama of the year by a North Dakota mile.

3 episodes into season 1 of Friday Night Lights. Have been meaning to watch it for a while.   Superb TV

Always been meaning to try Friday Night Lights and never got round to it. Good show then?

Started homeland again and it is class! Went through a bit of a shit spell around the start of season 3 and I stopped watching it. Started up again and it got better and better. Saying that season 5 has started a bit slow but only 2 episodes in.

It's an excellent tv drama. Once you start watching it you will quickly find out if you like it or not.
And if you like it, you will watch it right through all the seasons.
if you don't like it, you won't bother.
There is no duplicity.

Formulaic

.
It's  a north dakota noir, black humour genre, the plots are complicated and it's out of the box inventive  with script, characters, editing.
Fargo will not be to everybody's taste but formulaic it ain't.
And also coming after the season one, this second season is an unformulaic as you can get, it's a new departure.

[bennydorano]

I think it's very good, but it's Indy formulaic, the similarities in approach to Season 1, the orginal Fargo movie and the general influence of the Coen Brothers are there to be seen.

Can you expand on the new departure, MS?

So far, it hasn't hooked me like the first series. I think it's the same thing that it usually is when I don't take to a piece of fiction - lack of identification with the characters. I don't find myself caring too much about any of them so far. The Jesse Plemons character is presumably the main protagonist on the dark side - the Lester Nygaard/Jerry Lundegaard. Those other two got you on their side straight off, but not this guy for me. Maybe it's the actor. He's a bit wooden, just as he was in Breaking Bad.

But it's still entertaining and it's early days.

Any decent documentaries on Netflix worth a watch ?
