I didn’t get The Deuce…stop to watch it after episode 5...
Staff from The Wire, photography, music, costum, actors...great! Cool!
but i didn’t catch the script...the whole thing! Is that only me....?

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?

It sure is.

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...

Do I need to watch 1 & 2 to appreciate 3?

[hajduk]

Aye. But 1 & 2 are also straight fire…

The Expanse is very good.

We also like Bosch.

[Haddtoo 555]

Bosch is seriously good .

Watching S.2 of Westworld and The Handmaid’s Tale in tandem. Westworld is brutal, grim and existentially depressing, The Handmaid’s Tale is all these things just more so. Good times.

@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 

[neph93]

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.

Modern Family is the best citcom on tv. Cant laugh too long cuz you’ll miss the next joke

ASH VS EVIL DEAD is still good… On ep 3x06 and enjoying it...

THE EXPANSE is getting more epic by the ep... Sad that ATLANTA's over... Couch scene of last ep was too good... Darius is one funny fucker...

WESTWORLD is kicking ass...

Gonna start watching THE HANDMAIDS TALE S01 asap... It's apparently bleak and disturbing - excellent...

BOBBY KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT is also on the list... But SEINFELD keeps interfering...

GOMORRA S03 was unbelievably good, finish to start...

If anyone wants a link to a torrent for GOMORRA, PM me. It's a 85GB file containing all three seasons, with (softcoded) Eng subs… 720p... Currently freeleech (but on a private torrentsite, to which I can provide an invite if need be)...

[sabergirl]

Dude, Handmaid's Tale is going to knock your block off…

Danish TV series The Rain on Netflix is pretty good so far.

I fancy that myself.
