You can say that again; don't think I've ever heard of it til now!

You'd love it. Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell are phenomenal in it. Watch it but only after you watch Dark first.

It can't be overstated how great "The Americans" was. I'm constantly surprised at how many people haven't heard of it. Ditto "Halt & Catch Fire". They should be spoken about in the same breath as "The Wire", "Sopranos" etc. Brilliantly paced with deeply satisfying conclusions.

Just started "Deutschland 83". Very good so far. And apparently there's two more seasons of it. My buddy who recommended it also recommended "The Same Sky" so I have a bit to watch now.

Started watching "Kingdom" the other night. Brain fluff but a bit of fun.

Started on that 'Barbarians' last night. The story is powder puff (even being based loosely on true events) but it's cool hearing the Romans speaking in Latin instead of Home Counties toff English.

It's a German series, isn't it? Popped up on my recommendations the other day, looked alright.

Oh and the Romans spoke Greek on a day-to-day basis.  ;)

Did they? I'm certain they did in the eastern portion, especially in the latter days and into Byzantium, but in the west at the turn of the millennium? Open to education on that!

It's a German series yeah. I'm going to throw on another episode there now.

Taking a wee break between seasons of The Sopranos. A girl in work recommended The Virtues, which one of the French stations is streaming, but it's actually an ITV production by the director of This Is England and starring Jason Statham's side-kick from Snatch. It's powerful stuff, have to say.

Edit: Should have said, tis only a 4 episode thing. I guess it's available on the ITV player but I haven't checked.

The Virtues is a great show its on All4!

Yeah, this was truly exceptional. Don't miss it, and again, only 4 eps.

Watching Treme at the minute. Watched Season 1 when it premiered on Sky Atlantic and liked it but never got around to the other seasons. On season 3 at the minute and it's been really good. Even Eyehategod got a mention in an episode I saw last night.

Finished Schitts Creek. Takes a few episodes to get into but it's a great comedy. 6 seasons flew by.


Watched the first ep of The Virtues. That morning-after scene is a tough watch. Very similar to what appeared on The Fear thread occasionally. Defo worth a watch.

Watched the first episode of Maxxx. I like it. Good cringe factor which I always find most appealing.


I've had a most lazy Sunday watching DNA. Danish crime thriller/ drama. So far, so good.

Finished Suburra season 3 on Netflix,great series overall.

15 Storeys High. Only 12 episodes and all on youtube. Hilarious stuff.
