"Couple of one off dramas i watched a year or 2 a go that are well worth a watch. The night manager with Tom Hiddlestone - pretty sure it was a BBC thing https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399664/ The night of, about a young lad accused of murder and how being in the prison system in America completely corrupts https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2401256/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1"

"If you haven’t watched it The Deuce is brilliant. One of my favourite programs ever. Snowfall is another, all about the start of crack cocaine in south central LA."

"Looking forward to Top Boy. Just in the middle of When They See Us on Netflix, true story of 5 teenagers stitched up for a rape in a New York park in 1989, pretty powerful stuff."

Yeah i loved season 1 but only made it through about 2 episodes of season 2 when he starts controlling people with his mind from a coma i was out. Season 3 has just started in America so if im struggling for something i may jump back in on that and see if it's gone back to what made it good in the first place

I've started watching Mr Mercedes S2. I loved the first series but this one goes all supernatural which seems out of kilter with the original premise.

I quite liked Glow myself. Some decent characters and something to not be taken too seriously.

"Yep, mike was top drawer, loved it how everything was an inconvenience before he just got on with it. May well watch BCS but another 40 episodes, the film is a no brainer and can' wait. Have you watched The American's? About the only one out there that appeals right now."

"Just finished Breaking Bad, when I said earlier in this thread that I wasn't convinced by it early doors (never said it was crap just not over impressed) even when writing that I just knew it was going to get better just based on how popular it is, how can so many people be wrong? Well fuck me, it did end up blowing me away, still not sure if in my top 3 but fmob that was some show and the last episode must be up there with the best tv ever. A truly great show. Not sure if I will watch better call saul as didn't buy into the character that much."
