TV Show recommendations

[The Bearded One]

The Night Manager starts on RTE1 on Wednesday, short 4 or 5 part drama which is fairly gripping.

Wasn't that impressed with the second half of 'The Night Of'. It felt a bit rushed and the ending was a bit shit. Turturro as the lawyer was excellent from start to finish though.
Of the shows that I am watching:
-Second series of Narcos has started well.
-Suits has been shit for the last number of seasons but I still catch up on it every now and then.
-Power is ok just but I am kind of getting bored with it and some of the characters are getting on my nerves.
-New season of Ray Donovan is decent enough.
-New season of Fear the walking dead is crap so far.
-New season of Ballers is much the same as the first, an easy watch.
-Vice Principals is ok just, not as funny as I had hoped and nowhere near as good as Eastbound and Down.

Definitely forgetting some there. Nothing to replace the likes of Gomorrah so far. Was going to start The West Wing but never got round to it and would rather wait until midterm break.

Anyone watched Secrets and lies?

Yes I watched Secrets & Lies. I enjoyed it but would have preferred if it had been 1 series with everything tied up & left at that, will probably still watch the 2nd series though.  It might not be gritty enough for you though, it's definitely no Gomorrah.

This one seems to have received pretty good reviews. Will give it a look, thanks.

Started The Night Of last night and gorged on 5 episodes. Very good viewing. Pretty sure I watched the BBC original (Criminal Justice i think) and I know rightly I'm going to remember how it panned out before I get to the end of it.

The opening episode of the new series of Cold Feet was pretty good.

Watched it there and sort of gave up after episode 6 or so and then just watched the last one to see happened. It was a decent enough watch I suppose and I just lost patience with it a bit.

Also thinking of binning suits. It is shit. Same thing over and over.

Tried starting Narcos there, f**k it's very disappointing. The exposition is just mind-numbing and the central acting is very poor, especially among the DEA agents.

Wayward Pines any use?

You could have said that three years ago. Mind numbing stuff.

Haven't seen the second season but I thought the first was very good.

It's alright, really good build up in the 1st Season in the early episodes as to what was really going on but for me it lost it's way a bit after that.  I did still watch the 2nd Season & actually preferred it to Season 1.

Top class show, well worth a watch.

[The Gs Man]

Finished the second season of Narcos last night.  It's even better than the first.

Stick with it Trileacman!

Hard to beat Lesser Spotted Journeys (Ulster)

[Jeepers Creepers]

Hard to beat Lesser Spotted Journeys (Ulster)

Certainly takes the blood pressure down a few notches.

Just finished the first season of Fargo (two years late, I know!).

Awesome stuff from Billy Bob Thornton, and a very entertaining series overall and true to the spirit of the Coen brothers classic, even if there are one or two fairly ridiculous plot holes.

Looking forward to catching up on the second season now. But first, the second season of Narcos!

Oh, and someone mentioned Fear the Walking Dead... gave up after first episode of second season. Just couldn't be bothered with it - nothing compelling about it at all. And I absolutely love the original series.
