Ive got Zero Zero Zero in the favourites to watch. Seen a lot of Narcos stuff lately so I was getting a bit of Cartel overload! Couldn’t face any more for a while!

Watching ‘Defending Jacob’ at the moment bit of a slow burner but gripping none the less! One of Apple TV’s new shows!

"In the US tv programmes are called seasons, therefore it's 'season' Series is for UK programmes, it aint hard to grasp. No doubt some on here refer to the NY subway as the NY underground. As for Fargo 1 and 2 are superb, I've held back on 3 but will get around to it."

"Why did you correct yourself about ""season two""? I know it's an American phrase but it's better than using the same word to describe both the thing itself and a section of it. People here should either use season, especially if it's an American show, or come up with some alternative."

"two is also very good, three is the poorest of the three but still worth watching. BBT's performance makes series one the best though"

Andy doesn't come out of it well. Nor does that artist woman. She was a bit of a psycopath using Epstein's guilt to wash her crimes clean. The woman was taking pictures of her 12 year old sister naked in suggestive poses and then painting them after to sell them on. That was how she met Epstein but she was in her early 20s then. Imagine if she wasn't a she and had taken the same photos of a male or female sibling at the same age. It was very fucked up and I can't believe she hasn't been pulled up on it.

I'm on Queen Of The South at the mo. The script is terrible and very cliche but its strangely enjoyable. Like Dynasty meets Narcos.
