Trailer Park Boys is bloody funny catch it on netflix

Very true. I had to get myself a conky puppet the little **** after watching TPB

Just finished '100 Code'.

For those unaware, here we go:

The bloke from The Millennium Trilogy, half Swedish (subbed), half English with a bwoad New Yoik cop in tow, serial killer, part Hostel, part Wallander, part The Killing.

A bit Big Brother (the book, not the guff), unanswered questions allowing for Series 2 and emotional/domestic issues abound. Rumpy pumpy, dark moiders and some fit totty.

Have I sold it?

Jordskott - Nordic box set on Sky. Worth bothering with it?

Jordskott - Nordic box set on Sky. Worth bothering with it?

Quite enjoyable. Goes a bit 'From Dusk 'Til Dawn' and 'Midsummer Night's Dream' but well worth a go imho.

New series of X Files starts in the States on Jan 24th with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny back in their old roles.

The truth is out there.........

Has anyone seen Mr Robot?

Is it any good?

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I really enjoyed Jessica Jones, a more mature take on the super hero genre.

Jordskott - Nordic box set on Sky. Worth bothering with it?

i enjoyed it but it starts off as a nordic noir murder mystery and kinda ends up like lord of the Rings meets wallander

I'm not going through all 50 pages of this but, on the off chance it's not been flagged, I can recomnend "man in the high castle" on Amazon. It's just awesome. Truly awesome.

you got to the end yet?!

 

[HantsSeagull]

I highly recommend Narcos. Very dramatic and surprisingly most of it is true, every episode will leave you on Wikipedia thinking,' that can't have really happened'.

seconded - absolutely loved this and to think it was also true - amazing. no second season i fear though....!!

Watched the first two or 3 episodes and quite liked it, but then got into "The Man in the High Castle" and Mr Robot has taken a bit of a back seat. Will deffo be going back to it though...

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Has anyone seen Mr Robot?

Is it any good?

Yes - I really liked it. Surprisingly dark and very topical with all the current cyber security issues

Again, not exactly US but well worth seeing.

I've been seeing adverts for that on TV. Can't remember which channel is airing it, though.

Just watched the first episode of season 2 of Fargo, a lot happens and it was very good. Set in 1979 and based on actual events it looks like it's going to be a cracking season.

Just finished the second season and I don't think there is anything better on TV. Every episode looks like a film, the soundtrack is fantastic and i like the story lines which in both seasons have mixed up ordinary people with psychopathic killers. Good news is that season 3 is secure. Bad news is that they cant film until winter 2016 because they need the snow so we wont see until 2017.

I missed the start of Fargo season 2 and can't find it on demand anywhere. Do C4 just have rights to show each episode as it airs, but with no on demand rights?

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

First episode of new X Files series was pretty good. It was like catching up with old friends and updated for current conspiracy theories with a few twists you might not be expecting. And Gillian Anderson was looking good at 47

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Not obscure or indeed even new, but watching M*A*S*H on True. Top comedy. One liners of the Groucho Marx/Bilko standard.

Mr Robot [thank you previous recommendations] - top drawer TV. You never really know what is or isn't reality, some very good performances too.
