    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.

    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.

    I felt the same way. I can't really explain just how much better season 3 is, but you'll just have to trust me.

    The cartel are more involved in the latest series so it ups the stakes dramatically and it just makes for a much more interesting storyline and potential consequences. They also introduce a new character that changes the Byrd family dynamic and it works really well.

    I guarantee you'll like at least 2 people in season 3 and want them to live

    As for Better Call Saul... It actually gets better with each season, somehow. I'd say it's as good as BB.

    I suppose you are right, I quite like Ozark though, there are no much that can compare to the other two, this comes closer than most.

    Stick with it, it gets better.

    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.

    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?

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

    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.

    I’ll have a nose at succession too so thanks......and for a few others to save me this next week��

    Just finished Succession. We watched all four seasons in about a month or so. It's brilliant. Full of nasty people doing nasty things but it's the family's acting that makes it for me. Take any scene of the brothers/sister going back and forth and it's better than most of the shit on TV these days. And Brian Cox as the dad...wow...

    Got two more episodes of Welcome to Wrexham left now. The Americans knocked it out of the park didn't they? A home run. Made me miss Ninian Park though.

    Re: Decent TV series binge watch?

    Just about to watch the last season of succession, some of the acting is great.
    Not much else about to binge at the moment? Out of pure boredom I started watching the walking dead from scratch a few months ago which I did see when it came out, but couldn’t recall hardly any of it though almost to the very end. So much better watching them back to back rather than waiting a week like you had too, just did the same with Game of Thones too, which was great compacted into a month!

    Re: Decent TV series binge watch?

    Has anyone watched End of the f***ing World? Thought it was great. Two young Brit actors. Both funny and a terrific soundtrack. Dark humour. Well worth a watch.

    Got a bit bored in that last series, seemed to be a forever issue with his brother, was waiting for it to get better but it didn’t seem to and gave up about 6/7 in....loved BB, probably 2 or 3 on my top ten all time...

    How many series of BCS have you watched? His brother isn’t in after series 3. Thereafter it just gets better and better. Series 4 and 5 are as good as anything I have watched on tv. On the same level as BB.

    Maybe 3 was the last one I’ve seen....mike was such a good character it’s worth it for watching him alone

    I know a number of people who gave up during s3. I persuaded them to go back and watch it. Each time they have come back and agreed it’s superb. S4 and S5 are brilliant and a step up from the previous series especially as more and more BB characters join the cast.
    Agree on Mike. A great character in both BB and BCS.

    Best British for me was Line Of Duty by a country mile.

    Curb Your Enthusiasm is a very special series think its all being re - run now on Sky Comedy.

    Count Arthur Strong both TV and Radio versions.

    Detectorists was simply brilliant .

    American TV shows (programmes to you, Steve ) are described as follows: the entirety of the programming is called a 'series'. Each individual run of episodes is called a 'season'.

    In the UK, both of those descriptions are called a 'series'.

    The language I use is dictated by the origin of the show/programme.

    You're welcome
