That's true. But I did find the early episodes very disjointed and messy, but the last 3-4 episodes were really good.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Silicon Valley is a bit shite. A nerd version of Entourage.
The Young Pope looks interesting. Too over the top to pull it off, but different at least.
Been rewatching quite a few episodes of Rex Hunt Fishing, which was aired on the Discovery Channel over here. Really loved that show back in the late 90's, and then completely forgot about it.
Almost finished watching Stan Against Evil. it's an enjoyable half hour of hokum in the mould of Ash Vs. Evil Dead. John C. McGinley is perfect as Stan.
I binge watched the Night Of. I thought it was great and only 8 episodes long.
The Exorcist has been pretty good so far.
I absolutely loved it. Probably my favourite TV show of 2016.
The ending I would have prefered -->
he smokes his heroin under the bridge, and gets a flashback that it was actually him who killed her 
I agree. It was great and we binge watched it unaware of any spoilers or speculation.
That's definitely the way to do it.
@Rooney in Paris @R.N7 have you two seen Rectify?
Final episode aired on Wednesday. I think you'd both love it. In my top 10 ever for sure.

Good to know, I've just finished The Crown and started Luther, but I'll acquire Rectify and start it. What is it about?
What am I, fecking google?
A man who served a life sentence got out of prison on the account of a new DNA evidence. He spent half of his life there and struggles to exist in the real world
I didn't really enjoy Silicon Valley either, And i'm in I.T which should make me a huge fan.
Have seen it mentioned around on a few places, might watch it the next time I feel like watching a serious series.

I'd have to put Rectify at about 5/6 on my all time list. The finale was wonderful.
Netflix wants me to watch Dirk Gently, should I do it?
Definitely a rare one that actually delivered. Yeah probably 6th for me, maybe not quite top 5.
Rectify.
Fantastic, up there alongside the Wire for me. Brilliant performances and writing.

What's so good about Rectify?
I absolutely love it, season finale out today and I'll watch it tonight. Not exactly sure if they plan this to only be a one season show, or if they will leave enough for a season 2.
If they conclude the story I would like to see them go down the True Detective route and do another season with a different plot.

hahaha, I was thinking the same thing but then thought that would make the whole show pointless if that happened.
Season 7 of Shameless just ended. I think it was their best season in a while. Glad it's back for a 8th!

Currently watching Band of Brothers, some hardcore scenes in this show damn. (3rd episode)
Line of Duty
Have you seen Utopia? It's quite similar - violent, very confusing, sometimes funny.
edit: they have the same composer, actually. I though that something was familiar
Power (Netflix)
Fantastic show
Just finished this, wanted to see if anyone discussed it on here, and only found this
See it's almost half a year since you asked, so you probably watched it already.
I enjoyed the series, except the last episode, which i've found out i rarely like in any series.
Going through a horror/ scary movie, periode now, so been looking for films and series like this.
Think i actually liked Scream better, not sure if it was for all the sweet high school teens, or cause they were being killed
I do anyway recommend both, if you like some good old horror, slasher, stupid people dying stupid ways, series.

Slasher was OK , like you apart from the last EP , not seen Scream, will check it out.
Scream is a series that happens X years after the Scream movie, in the same village.
I think i went through every character in the series about 8 times, while guessing who the killer was
Almost finished Goliath on Amazon Prime. It's fantastic!
Just started this , only a short 6 ep season , first one was a bit slow but still pretty good.
You've seen the Exorcist yet?
That actually looks pretty good. I get a bit of a silent hill vibe from it.
5 eps in to Designated Survivor , Kiefer Sutherland has a low level congress man , made POTUS after a terror attack.
It is pretty good.
It is pretty good.
Just started the second season of Californication and I loved it
some of the humour is great, I get the feeling its one of those shows that will fall off towards the end though but Love it at the moment, I definitely recommend it to anyone who fancies a laugh.
