Dexter any good ?
Brilliant

Is there a storyline or is it one of those shows that you can turn on at any stage and watch away at it?

Newbridge Exile

Anyone watching McMafia ?  three episodes in and its very enjoyable , the guy from the Bourne films is really good in it .

Its a great show. Each season has a story running through it. You'd needy start from the start

Dexter builds from the start. As good a show as i have watched. Dexter is my favourite character from any show.

Started to watch the first episode but found the Englishes dubbing very off putting. It was better in German with English subtitles.

Yes there is a storyline, from S1  E1 right to the the end. It's an enjoyable yarn which you'll find out soon enough if you like it or not.

La Mante, French show on Netflix, very good

Finished it; enjoyed it.  Hated the dubbing.

Finished this too - enjoyed it as well, though a bit derivative.  Have finished 'The Frozen Dead' too - a bit too Hannibal Lecter for my liking, though it wasn't bad.  Read the book too, so maybe enjoyment was tempered by knowing the plot.  Worth a look, as it's short; six episodes. 

Watched 'big little lies' over the weekend too.  Was impressed.

Stumbled across Manhunt: Unabomber last night and ended up watching 4 episodes.

Seems very good so far - based on how FBI profiler helped track down the unabomber - serial killer in the states from late 70s to early 90s.

Watched the whole series and thought it was excellent

Watched 6 episodes of this over the weekend. really good show.

Agree with you on the dubbing.
If you watched it on Netflix you can change the language to the native language and then turn on English subtitles.
