Done them too

Check out the reviews on Dark. Very highly rated and for good reason. It’s German with some very nubile actresses. Great storyline.

Started watching 13 commandments a few weeks ago and really like it so far. Only a couple of episodes in.
My recommendation: If you haven't seen the bureau (French spy drama) it's really excellent. It's on Amazon Prime - and then the last few seasons are on Sundance now channel on prime, but they do a free trial for a month so you could binge it. Alternatively, an Australian vpn will allow you to watch it on sbs on demand for free...

Never bothered with Fleabag when it was actually on but binge watched it a while later and really enjoyed it.

On season 3 now. I’ve enjoyed it so far but **** me you do have to concentrate to keep up:biggrin:

Re: Decent TV series binge watch?
Oh I know and I wasn’t convinced I would understand the conclusion. As it happens it all made sense so enjoy the alternate Martha’s and Jonas’s for what they are because you will understand the ending. I loved it.

Fauda is brilliant. Quite gripping and one of those programmes that has you hooked where it actually gets inside your head.

I wouldn't have thought it was possible to have not heard about Fleabag in the UK. Phoebe Waller-Bridge was just about all people talked about in 2018-2019.
Anyway, give it a go. It's good TV.

The haunting of hill house on netflix.
It is a horror, which I do not usually like, but this was good, less about jump scares and more about a really good story line. Filmed and acted really well, full of suspense.
I am about to watch the Haunting of Bly house which is the newer series, hopefully it is just as good.

Watching Bly now. It’s very slow. Ok. Not too many thrills though.

It's an anti superhero thing - not so much Marvel but is based on graphic novels. Really good characters.

Good to see black sails on the list. I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves, it is an amazing show but never gets a mention when people bang on about great TV. Maybe because it was only about 40 episodes. I really wanted them to carry it on into treasure Island but never mind

Did you watch Kingdom? First 2 episodes are a little slow and confusing but it goes full bonkers Korean Zombie by the end and is great entertainment

I gave up after series two. Had zero interest in any of the characters. BB and The Sopranos are way better imo.

Re: Decent TV series binge watch?
Here is a binge watch treat coming soon :
""Every episode of ‘The West Wing’ is coming to All4"
Them watch House of Cards
-
Re: Decent TV series binge watch?
I've just watched House of Cards. Probably, along with Homeland, the best things I have ever seen on TV. Absolutely brilliant.

Did you watch the last season of House of Cards? I didn't bother. I also thought the last season with Kevin Spacey wasn't that great.

Re: Decent TV series binge watch?
Walking dead?
I've watched it from series seven for some reason?
I know it's utter shit but something makes me watch the new ones when they come out?
It has some hateable characters, which I want to see get battered I think?

Season 2 of Ozark was dreary. Season 3 was intense. I'd highly recommend you have a rethink about it.
And of course BB and The Sopranos are better than Ozark...pointless comparison to make imo. It's like comparing Cardiff and Reading.

I watched up until the first few of series 8 then haven't bothered since.

Ok. I may give it another go but when you want the entire Byrd family to die it doesn’t bode well for ongoing interest.
It goes without saying and I’m sure you will agree. Better Call Saul. I suspect the o/p has seen it though.

Re: Decent TV series binge watch?
Succession https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7660850/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2I Best thing I've seen on TV for a while. Recently won a lot of Emmys too.
I also watched this over the last couple of nights https://www.itv.com/hub/quiz/2a7854
Thought it was well written, well acted and well directed (by Stephen Frears of High Fidelity, Dirty Pretty Things and Philomena fame).
Michael Sheen as Chris Tarrant and Matthew Macfadyen as Major Charles Ingram.

Better call Saul is class!
