Has Condor been mentioned here? I watched 1st episode tonight based on a recommendation from Stephen Nolan's Twitter of all places. I enjoyed it, might give it a whirl...
Any relation to Three Days Of...? If it is then I'll give it a whirl.

Yup, based on according to the brief written synopsis

Google tells me IMDb gave it 7.8/10 and Rotten Tomatoes 86%, promising...

Denn Forever

Been watching Scorpion, a modern day McGyver mixed with Scooby Doo.  Hokem but a bit of a romp.

Main Street

I watched Unorthodox straight through. A 4 part dramatisation of a young women's escape from a hassadic jewish community in New York.  Whatever awards are going for this type of drama, this one should come out on top, best lead actor by a country mile, Shira Haas.

Watched both Series of Das Boot over the past week - real quality  stuff.

Brilliant show. Only started season 2 there and it seems just as good as the first one so far.

Fantastiche.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Questions that shouldn't be asked shouldn't be answered

Main Street

I nearly got to the end of the first season of Fauda,    blurb - "the two-sided story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
I haven't been to Palestine but I don't think I have to in order to get the growing sense of a toxic pile of turd.

Milltown Row2

Finished season one of Condor, not a patch on first season of Homeland but it's got a good flow about it!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Finished it Sat night myself, thought from being very promising it fell in a big hole over the last few episodes and finished lamely? Also a few holes in story unless I not concentrating hard enough?

I'll probably stick with it for 2nd series though

Noticed that there is a new series of Last Chance U started at the end of July on Netflix.  Great show.  Hope for more of the same with this new team and coaching staff.

JimStynes

Finished Das Boot season 2 and Defending Jacob. Both very good but I hope they're not planning another season of DJ. Signed up for Apple TV free trial. Not a whole pile on it at the minute.

Im just finished The man in the high castle on amazon prime.The first 3 seasons were very enjoyable but season 4 tailed off badlyTheres a good story to it and some of the charachters are well done so all in all its a decent watch.But im finished it now and need something new so any suggestions lads???? ....I do like a bit of sci fi or something with a good story.

bennydorano

DEVS was on BBC2 there a couple of months ago, good proper Sci fi, really enjoyed it plus it had Nick Offerman, I could watch Nick in anything.

Watched the plot against America on Sky Atlantic, was good but the Nazi plotlines are coming thick and fast with this, High Castle, Penny Dreadful LA and I happened to watch Band of Brothers and numerous Nazi documentaries during lockdown, so I'm suffering a bit of Nazi fatigue.

Avoid Hunters then.
