Started watching Dublin Murders yesterday, what with it being Paddy's Day and being on lockdown away from home. I've already been told it gets a bit ridiculous towards the end, but it's just the fix of Oirish for the homesickness.

Signed up to a free one month trial of Starzplay to watch it and saw there's a series called Mr.Mercedes there, starring Brendan Gleeson and based on Stephen King books. Don't think I've seen any word of it from ye lot here though. Any opinions??

My brother watched Mr. Mercedes, thought it was great if that's any help. I gather it's not his (King's) usual horror style, but a hunt for a serial killer. Brendan Gleeson's usually good value anyway.

Season 1 is excellent, S2 is poor, S3 is quite good.

I watched a good chunk of the new season of 'Narcos Mexico', which is significantly more engaging than I remember the first one being. Diego Luna puts in a great shift.

Did they have to make the DEA lad so obnoxiously OTT American though? Very hard to sympathise with him.

Dublin Murders was highly consumable pulp fiction. 8 eps really does seem a perfect length for developing a layered story arc.

Kinda 50% True Detective, 40% Love/Hate, 10% Battle Below Giltspur.

I've started on Philip K. Dick's Electric Dreams, 3 episodes in and it's pretty good so far. Each episode is based on one of his short stories, so you've sci fi with a healthy dose of darkness. For fans of Black Mirror, The Outer Limits, etc. The episode starring Timothy Spall is fanastic.

I've an Amazon Prime account, anyone recommend good shows on that? Sci Fi stuff usually floats my boat

The Expanse and The Man In The High Castle if you haven't watched them already.

Another vote for The Expanse here.

Sound lads, I'll try those and see how I get on. A fella I know was telling me about The Man in the High Castle, but he did extra work in it so I thought he would be a bit biased and didn't bother.

[Carnage]

People who work on these shows are usually honest. A mate of mine was in the props dept. for Into The Badlands and even he admitted it was a big bag of shite! TBF he's worked on Game Of Thrones, a couple of Star Wars and Marvel movies and various Nolan, Scott & Mendes films andhas a decent basis for comparison.

Have you watched 1-4 on Netflix already?

Maybe put on the last ep of s4 and see if it will automatically skip onto the new season.

Just got netflix to watch better Call Saul and they don't even have the new season  .

Ah.... Yes they do!
Been watching it week to week, as eps are aired.

Mine is only showing season 1-4?

Could be a regional thing too. Sometimes a Netflix release can be held back in some regions if another platform or network has an exclusivity arrangement.

Thanks yes VPN'd to England and season 5 is on it now. Watched 5 episodes so far great as always. I hate that new fella that is trying to fuck Gus over he's playing a great character.

Another vote for The Expanse here.

Another one here. Fucking amazing television. Takes about 6 episodes to get going and then it's balls to the wall for 4 seasons. Best sci fi since Battlestar.

[astfgyl]

Fuck it I'll start that tonight. Last series I watched was the I-Land on netflix. Nice idea but very shit acting bar an odd character here and there. They all just reacted all wrong or in a really unbelievable way to the whole situation they found themselves in from the first minute.
