"Two unhappy people, one schizophrenic, one damaged and bereaved, help each other to become less fucked up. Big Pharma and the cynical self-help/pop psychology industries are shown up for the damage they do. But it's kept light hearted and not political or preachy at all, which is a rarity on TV these days, and quite refreshing. I watched it with a grin on my face. It was sort of like a cross between Brave New World and Donnie Darko, if the Coen Bros directed it. Won't be everyone's cup of tea."

"Finished Maniac last night. Loved it. It didn't take itself seriously, and was deliciously silly in places. Very moving scene where Annie says sorry and goodbye to her sister. Plus a happy ending. Jonah Hill's mumbling was easily solved via use of subtitles."

"Done 2 eps of Haunted Hill House last night, more intriguing than scary. Maybe the worst is to come but can’t see myself fainting just yet."

"Just finished BCS and was plesantly surprised. Was expecting to cling on to Breakung Bad's coat tails a bit but was very good in its own right. And another vote for Curb,best comedy iv'e seen in years,the blacks were absolutely brilliant. So many highlights but Wanda's visit to Larry's with his racist dog had me in bits."

There are many threads on the front page where you're already engaged in arguments and spats which give you all the attention you could possibly need. You don't need to pollute another.

"Just watched the last series of Better Call Saul. Never seen any of the others (loved Breaking Bad though) Off work sick for a few days so is it worth smashing through the rest of them? Also, I recommend Safe to everyone. It's a bit cheesy and sanitised (very ""middle class suburban"") but it's good if you like mystery stuff."

Haunting Of Hillhouse is a surprisingly good series on Netflix.

I thought BCS started off slow this series but improved a lot towards the end.

"Norman don’t get me wrong, I really like Saul it just feels a bit long winded at the moment. Couple of things - I’m not used to waiting a week for one episode now. I already know where it all ends I guess with BB so I fear they are flogging as much out of it now as we are very close to that point"

"Half way through Informer (BBC). Clunky writing but has kept me interested. Could be a lot better with further script development but the we don't throw money at drama like Netflix, Amazon, Strarz, etc. The world is be changing."

naughty see you what youre getting at regarding BCS...but BB had the same criticism...wasnt an issue personally...but can see why it would bother some the writers are immaculate in both..they dont miss a trick.so i guess its a small down side that is worth the overall product?
