I've gotten into Friday Night Dinner the last week or so.

I'm liking it so far, cannot believe this has been going since 2011 and I've only started watching it now!

Yes, Daz, 6.

It has fantastic reviews. Just watched the first one and it's great.

Great script, fabulous acting.

I have watched it since the start but now my daughter is old enough to watch it, she has binged on it.

Black Sails - great pirate series.
Hell on Wheels - building of the American railways western series.
Deadwood - just brilliant.

Deadwood is overated imo hugely

I enjoyed hell on wheels more than deadwood

I found Deadwood compelling in places. But Hell on Wheels a little run of the mill...watchable but forgettable.

We watch this as my partner loves it; I find it a bit hit and miss. The Dad is by far the best character though!

It may have been covered on another thread, but after all the hype we thought we’d give Tiger King a go. What an absolutely bizarre world! Couldn’t stop watching though....

Nope; some definite dodgy characters in that. And people like Jeff and Doc seem incredibly seedy and misogynistic, it’s horrible to watch people actually falling for that sort of shite.

Apparently they’re filming a one episode follow up and Trump is considering pardoning Joe Exotic.

I heard and am not surprised.

The guy should be in prison for his hair alone, let alone for his misdemeanors.

Ummmm, that's Joe I am talking about, though that particular jumper does fit snuggly on Trump too of course.

Just watched the last Ozark and it was a little bit pointless. It didn't really get anywhere.

Feel like I've wasted a few hours.

I watched a couple of episodes of that and binned it - same with Breaking Bad

Can understand maybe not being aware of Ozark, but Breaking Bad? It got such fantastic reviews and everyone was talking about it.

I mean, even my mum had heard of it and she was 83.

Weird how some things pass people by. I know a load of celeb stiff does with me. I haven't got a clue what is going on half the time and though I had heard of the Kardashians, I hadn't got a clue who the hell they were or why on earth they were famous.

Should have stuck with it. It was a great insight into how greed and power and money can change just an everyday nobody.

The transformation of the character from a seemingly meek chemistry professor to drug baron, I found quite remarkable, yet utterly believable.

Agree on Ozark. It has that Breaking Bad feel to it. The second season wasn't as strong, but the first and third seasons are excellent.

Actually, my daughter s watching it right now. Just getting into it.

Watching series 3 now and struggling with it to be honest. Think it's tarnished by the memory of series 2 though it's definitely better

Let's hope while on set together they discussed making another series of Top buzzer. Criminally under rated show.

Gave See a go. Only lasted half an hour. I can gloss over a lot of things but this was ridiculous. Is supposed to be set after a virus has wiped out all but 2m of the worlds population and those who remain are blind. Someone it also seems to have wiped out all technology, although this doesn't get a mention. Everyone goes around dressed like its Game of Thrones, including decorative pieces in a society where everyone is blind. In fact that only confession to anyone being blind is guide ropes. There's even fight sequences which are no different to any other show or film. You'll be amazed how accurately blind people can land a punch!

After giving up on that gave Servant a go. That's been great so far, watch 3 out of 10 episodes. Really creepy. Can't say too much without spoiling it.

Gangs of London was very good all the way through but a bit of a tame ending clearly left for a new series.

It's great but they've canned it after the 2nd series

Really disappointed. The fella who plays Edmund Kemper is incredible.
