I'm late the party, but started watching The Good Place last week, and am flying through it!

It amazes me how much they pack into each twenty minute episodes, perfectly bingable

Just finished Dark on Netflix and oh boy that was one hell of a tv show, currently watching Fallout on Prime, and i think next im gonna watch Ripley on Netlfix

My fav tv show is Sopranos so far nothing beat it ( i think Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul came close? )

Anw new to the forum, sorry if im overshare, cheers

[AdamJ]

We've been watching "For All Mankind" which is pretty good so far

@MQR welcome to the forum!

[MQR]

@AdamJ thanks for the welcome and reference for the tv show, will check that out

[RobeOfTheMagi]

@MQR The wire! It's excellent!

[MQR]

@RobeOfTheMagi love the wire! especially Omar and The Greek, the best anti hero

[IrishHeart]

@Giles another vote for Blue Lights here. One of the best police dramas I have seen in years.

[EdH]

@endo Fallout was pretty decent. A few plotholes (or, at least, unexplained goings-on) if you go back and think about earlier events after the big reveals in the final episode, which have made me think less of it after finishing it.

Maybe a second watch is in order to see if there is an explanation for some of the events or character interactions that I missed on the first watch.

Certainly things left open for a second season.

Anyone started anything good? I just finished Fallout which was great!

[jordanscollected]

@IrishHeart agreed it was really good. I was a little turned off by the obsessive anti-polite barrage in the first few episodes (throwing stuff at their cars and chasing them off mob style), but the dropped the schtick and the show was really good.

Line of Duty is one of my all time favorite police dramas and this held its own.

[jordanscollected]

@jiminstitches did you watch Colin from Accounts? Pretty damn funny Australian comedy/drama

[jiminstitches]

@jordanscollected I’ll check it out! I just watched the first episode of The Cleaner, another Australian black comedy that seems promising.

[IrishHeart]

@jordanscollected glad you enjoyed it. The anti police violence was a major part of the troubles in Northern Ireland and even since the Good Friday Agreement there are communities that have no time or trust in them.
The Police force there have said that this show is the most accurate reflection of their day to day working life that has been shown on TV.

[IrishHeart]

@jordanscollected couldn’t agree more. Really good show and I have recommended to friends.

[Inorganic]

@jiminstitches continuing the Australian theme have you watched Wilfred? IMO probably one of the most underrated series - the US version has Elijah Wood and it is darkly hilarious (the trailer is a bit shit:

)

[TENDREL]

@Inorganic wow, haven't thought about Wilfred in years! Going to give it a rewatch.

[sabergirl]

Not sure if we’ve talked about it here before, but Hacks is hilarious. It’s more than just Jean Smart chewing scenery—though there is a fair amount of that. Anyway, the third season is still consistently good as the first two.

[popvulture]

I just started watching from the beginning last week — loving it so far. Got some catching up to do!

[Brian]

just started blue lights here as its streaming on one of the free to air stations, 3 episodes in and really enjoying it

and can't wait for the next series of death in paradise to start later this year
