Started watching The Mick, a pretty decent series so far
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

- Start date
I like it too. I thought it'd be shit.
Deadwood is a Western done HBO style. Tough and dirty, like the Wild West actually was. Some great acting. Even though Olyphant isn't a great actor he's in his element here, just like with Justified.Thinking about watching the following shows...
Westworld
Deadwood
Orange is the new Black
House of Cards
Are these shows worth watching? I've heard Deadwood is excellent but don't know much about it. Can somebody give a quick summary for each show without spoilers of course. (I would google them but I avoid spoilers at all costs)
House of Cards is political theatre, again with some good acting. It's bingeworthy. Hell, it might be the origin of the term.
@Tom Van Persie Deadwood is the best of the ones you mention, by far. Up there with The Wire. It's TV perfection.
Al Swearengen, probably one of the best characters ever developed.
Yeah, I was quite surprised by the dip between 2nd and 3rd season. I mean they weren't brilliant, but it was watchable - but that A.I. shit
Although the whole story is a little bit ridiculous - I mean only 97 years passed and the bankers and clerks suddenly created a whole new language and started getting dressed in leather and skulls?
re: the Vikings - it does.
His sons were also legendary warriors/explorers as you can google/wiki if you want to. More so, it's highly likely that Ragnar himself never existed but his sons were historical figures
If you like The Blacklist, you might want to try The Blacklist Redemption
, not seen it myself yet there is only 1 ep out , but even if only half has good as The Blacklist, it will be worth watching.

I still like this! Also, I spotted a Rooney poster in Chale's room in the latest episode

It is from a few years ago , and cancelled after 1 season , but the first ep is pretty decnt.

Without giving away too much, does it have an actual resolution or is it left in a state of annoyance eg cancellation?
it was cancelled, but the resolution (what would have been the last season) its pretty much obvious, so not big deal. It works perfectly as a finished tv series in my opinion.
I'll have to disagree. I was slightly annoyed with how it was left. Didn't feel fulfilling imo.
Still well worth a watch though. Outstanding show.
Cocksucker.
Loopy fecking cnut.
I've had amazon prime for years but never really cared about their prime video streaming service or their "amazon originals" as I hardly hear anyone talking about it or marketed as heavily as netflix but recently people at work started mentioning "The Man In the High Castle" so I decided to look "amazon originals" up
Funny enough, I didn't go for the show I had been hearing about at work I decided to watch "Sneaky Pete" and it was surprisingly great/fun. Watched it all in 2 days and really liked it. Now I'm watching "Patriot" and I'm really enjoying it too.
oh, netflix has an australian show called "The Glitch" that I liked a lot too. Interesting twist to the undead trope.

Can anybody recommend some British dramas? I've already seen a fan of Broadchurch, Line of Duty, The Missing, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Luther, Happy Valley, Peaky Blinders and Sherlock.
The Fall - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294189/
"A psychological thriller that examines the lives of two hunters. One is a serial killer who stalks his victims in and around Belfast and the other is a talented Detective Superintendent from the MET who is brought in to catch him."
The detective is played by Gillian Anderson (Scully from X-files). The serial killer steals the show though.
The psychiatrist who draws? I watched the first episode of that and didn't really warm to it. Though I have said that about many of my favourite shows, and have heard good things.
How much stock can I put in the first episode for this one?
Been a while since I saw it but I really liked it, on the other hand I never warmed to Broadchurch or the Missing.
The greatest thing about it is how they portray the serial killer. He is a loving father and normal in every sense of the word besides the whole serial killer part. Sort of like a Dexter, only with realism added.
Speaking of UK tv shows, anybody seen Eleventh Hour (2006)? (with Patrick Stewart and the girl from Extras)
Only 4 episodes but i remember it was pretty good. And its British.

Did anyone watch the first episode of "Taken" which shows a younger Bryan Mills, and how he acquired his "Specific set of skills"...?
Was it any good?
Was it any good?
I thought they caught him at the end of S2?
Haven't seen S2.
I haven't seen any of it so thanks for spoiling it dickheads.
Black Mirror
The Hour
Big fan of Black Mirror but hadn't heard of The Hour, will check it out. Cheers.
Yeah, BM is really good. Lot of great British shows out there in a lot of genres...

This looks alright.
So what do people use to watch a tv show these days (for shows that aren't on netflix..). My old sites went down a while ago and I have no idea what to use.
I usually watch tv shows and movies on 123movies although the actual address tends to change because it gets blocked by isp's.
I've recently discovered that duckduckgo is a much better search engine when looking for sites that provide the kind of services you were used to.
About to finish Season 1 of Goliath. Really good because of Billy Bob Thornton
Anyone else watching SS-GB? Not really sure what to make of it so far.
Also just started watching the TV series of Lethal Weapon. Terrible first episode with the car chase that ended up on the race track and a few other stupid moments but overall looks like it could be a fun watch.

Decent enough reviews.

Going to try and watch this Animal Kingdom show, loved the original Australian movie so figured I'd give it a go.
Its OK , not a patch on Man in the High Castle but watchable.
Man, Twin Peaks was awful - anyone like it?
