      Well I've just discovered a true television gem… FISHING WITH JOHN...

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139776/

      It's from 1991, has guests such as Matt Dillon, Tom Waits, Willem Dafoe, Dennis Hopper,... It's as if the show itself took a lot of drugs... Twin Peaks meets Burdain's Parts Unknown...

      I can't post a direct link, but if you were to look it up at LimeTorrents.info you might find it...

        not sure if it's been discussed here….I'm half way through S02.
        Engrossing, beautifully shot, great sound design and music.
        Can't recommend enough.

          DARK S01 was good. Completely devoid of humour but then it is German after all… Heard less good things about S02 but yet to watch it meself...

          TOP GEAR S27 was absolutely glorious, and I hope Freddie, Paddy and Harris will be back next year...

          STRANGER THINGS S03 was just perfect 80ies all killer no filler American pastiche...

          I just started watching PERPETUAL GRACE... One of the writers is the guy that made PATRIOT… Together with TERRIERS this is one of the less known US shows I always recommend…

            And, of course, RECTIFY, but that's a tad slower and more difficult to get into…

              Always been tempted by Dark but never gotten around to it.

              At the risk of having to forfeit my man card, Big Little Lies S2 is fantastic.

                Well I've got as far as having downloaded S01… It's on the list...

                But for now it's BASKETS S04 and THE HANDMAID'S TALE S03...

                  S1 takes some time to get going but ends strongly. S2 dives right in and contains some incredible performances.

                  I’m half way through Handmaids Tale S3 and it feels like it is treading water to a degree. Certainly compared to S2 which was mental. Still worth watching though.

                    I loved Stranger Things seasons 1 and 2. Season 3 is a festering dung heap of poor writing and overwrought dialog. It’s like all the dialog in the script was written in ALL CAPS. With LOTS!!!! OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!! Like a 12-year-old wrote it.  ::)  Oh well. On to Dark season 2…

                      Yeah gotta say season 3 isn't a patch on the first 2

                          But obviously that's rather subjective  😎 Three is just fun at high speed… If you don't overthink it too much, you'll enjoy it...

                                This is absofuckinglutely awful…

                                https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80238711

                                So awful that I became completely addicted; the shallowness of the characters, the plots that start and then just get forgotten, the bad acting, you name it, if it's bad they've got it.  It is marvelous in its utter crapness.

                                          Ah man, No more Patriot? I LOVED that show. Remember seeing the pilot and having an agonising 3 month wait for the full first series. Edward and his attaché!!!

                                          Cheers for the heads up on PERPETUAL GRACE, wasn't on my radar at all but it will be binged this weekend.

                                          🤘

                                            I seriously hope another tv station is picking it up… Just like the new THE EXPANSE series will be bonkers now that it's on Amazon...

                                            If it's any consellation though, PERPETUAL GRACE is as good as PATRIOT... If you liked Ben Kingsley in SEXY BEAST you'll love his performance here  🙂
