      Have you finished Wild Wild Country yet @Seul
      Spun me around ethically!

      Was underwhelmed with the whole thing to be honest… Extremely well documented, but lacked punch...

        Screw which guys? I enjoyed it although it was a little fragmented and confusing. But this is the most literary TV show since The Wire so I think that must be fine. I need some nerdy type to do a body count. Never before have I seen more corpses in one hour of TV [emoji1]

            I gave it a good go but Maggie Gyllenhaal's character/story proved to be too much of a downer for me to stick with it for the entire season.

              I got 4 episodes into The Expanse season 2 but had to return it to the library because someone has it on their waiting list. Kinda bummed because it normally takes me about 2 weeks to finish a show, so now I have to check it out again to finish it. Anyway, so far so good

                There’s very little story line or plot development and an awful lot of portrayal (norsk: skildring), even more so than with The Wire. That was fine by me as the portrayal is really well done, but it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

                  Started watching Schitts Creek on Netflix.  Surprisingly funny.  It's keeping my interest still about 7 episodes in.  Not bad.

                    No kidding? That's a Canadian show, no?

                        I never thought that particular show would make the cut for American Netflix. Nice.

                          GOMORRAH S03 is absolutely must-see TV… Whereas S01 and 02 sometimes felt a bit stereotype, or one-dimensional, S03 really shows the impact of the mob throughout every aspect of society...

                                        @neph93 they both sound right up my alley. We are halfway through season 1 of The Americans. I'm enjoy the dark humour and quite brutal set pieces…what drew me to this show, a YouTube video of the 'necklacing' scene. I do enjoy grim  😃

                                          Westworld also has lots of clever references and self referential jokes which lightens things. The body count is astonishing. More slaughtered hosts than head shotted zombies in The Walking Dead (which I incidentally don’t rate).

                                          Handmaids Tale has none of that and while the first season was great and really quite scary, the second so far, is unremittingly terrifying.

                                          I really like The Americans. Working on S.5 now.

                                            Seems you and I are on the same watch rotation, @neph93.  We've been alternating those two with The West Wing to lighten the load.
