I can't wait though I've got 2 more seasons of Breaking Bad to get through first. The last thing I watched before BB was Ozark which I loved [emoji846]

Solid, impressive first episode. I think it's right up there with HBOs Sopranos and Game of Thrones. Thandie Newton steals the show

The final series of The Americans has started (I'm watching via Kodi) and it's bloody good.

I don't think you need an encyclopedic knowledge of series 1-5, but with that in mind it certainly isn't a stand alone finale.

You don't need Kodi, Season 6 has been on ITV4 since 04/04/18 first 5 episodes shown.

If you liked The Inbetweeners then you would probably like the show Workaholics, it's basically a stonner comedy ...really childish and crude but always makes me laugh and there are 7 seasons to go through so plenty of content!

Have started watching Stan Against Evil which stars John C McGinley. It's a comedy / horror and after 3 episodes I'm not sure if its good or just weird.

Have also been watching The Ranch on Netflix which a comedy with Ashton Kutcher and Sam Elliott and is pretty funny.

Ooooo! Ashton Kutcher is back. I wonder if Charlie Sheen will take over his role when Ashton's character gets killed by being pushed off a train platform.

Coincidentally, The Ranch creators Jim Patterson and Don Reo worked on 2.5 Men, which also was centered on two brothers, with the actor playing one of them, Sheen, abruptly leaving the show.

I almost put on my post that it was kind of like Two and a Half Men, I guess that explains why :lol:

Finished both series of Sneaky Pete recently. Pretty good.

Now watching Deep State on Fox (yes, I know) and the latest Billions series on Sky.

Billions is definitely one of the most watchable American dramas on TV today.

Deep State is OK and fairly routine spy drama. The main reason I am watching that one is that they filmed lots of command centre, corridor, hotel and interrogation room scenes last Summer near to where I live.

Netflix Original - Evil Genius. A four part docuseries about a pizza delivery driver's murder and bank robbery. Fascinating watch and intriguing who done it.

Started watching Happy! on netflix. It's crazy and violent and hilarious.

Ruddy heck my hard drive is *straining* under the load of recommendations here.

I really enjoyed Mosaic (Steven Soderberg's latest and boy he tells a good story), a murder whodunnit thing with really top top acting I thought; and after the recent Twitter meltdown over the cancellation and un-cancellation of Brooklyn 99, thought I'd see what the fuss was about. At first it felt like a series of admittedly funny Vines (one for the kids) stitched together, but ten episodes in, with the 'sit' defined and the 'com' gag rate high, and the characters bedded in, I'm chuckling along very happily.

I just finished watching Safe on Netflix staring Michael C Hall (From Dexter) I thought it was really good, suspenseful and always keeping you guessing wtf was going on :) I'd recommend it ...and it's only 10 episodes long so not too much investment needed!

This is next on my radar

Absolutely agree. Season 1 of Expanse was OK but season 2 was one fo the best things Ive seen this year and cant wait for the next season of this sci-fi opera.

Into season 3 and it keeps getting better, I haven't warmed to any of the cast though for some reason.

Watched 2 good sci-fi series, Extinct and Altered Carbon, both worth watching.

On the downside Dark Matter has been cancelled by scyfy and The 100 turned to crap in season 3 imo.

Fear the walking dead keeps improving and TWD is effing boring.
