Peaky Blinders on Netflix and Taboo on HBO are both really good imo
I also tried The Magicians on HBO but did not really like it

Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
Cheers, I'll look it up.
Have finished Narcos now and feel a bit sad that it's over as you do with every great series, so more of the same but different sounds awesome!

That was a weird but funny episode.I just watched the episode where Paper Boi is on the talk show and it says gold
Watched all of this recently. The first season is top drawer and I thought it was decent all round but definitely drags a bit at the end. Worth watching it all though.
Started on Billions yesterday, Axe is awesome.
The BBC's The Replacement had two of the most well crafted tension building first two eps, and one of the worst resolved, off the wall nonsense thirds I think I've ever seen. It's like it was written by two different people, with completely different remits
I thought it was brillant, some of the best BBC I have watched for a long time , right up and till the last 15-20 mins, then it was WTF is this rubbish, worst ending of anything ever.
Season 2 of Into The Badlands has begun. If you do like some cheesy apocalyptic action with over the top Kung Fu and sword scenes then you really can't go wrong with this. A nice antidote to the arthritis ridden slow shite Kung-Fu in Iron Fist.
I didn't think of it was cheesy, just bad fake. The action sequences are OK, but the whole series felt like it was put together for a stage performance.
Oasis pilot is getting good reviews.
It is a AMC show about a post-apocalyptic world ruled by Kung-Fu warlords who enslave people. Dialogue, reason, acting and logic takes the back seat in favour of violence and action sequences. I quite enjoy it, but then again I love Kung Fu movies.
They are able to carry all the silliness imo since they never once take themselves or their show serious, like for example Cage and Iron Fist.
I thought The Replacement was terrible, not aided by McClure doing the 'crazy woman eyes' thing to the max...so much so I felt she was making it plain that acting in such by-the-numbers hokum was beneath her. A ton of implausibilities and the whole thing looked so pristine it made the entire situation seem artificial. Not impressed at all.
Any reviews on SS-GB? Is it similar to The Man In The High Castle?
watched the first 2 , I have the rest to watch.
I found the first 2 a bit slow, but OK.
Man in the High is much better.
Thanks pauldy. I liked Man in the High Castle. Will wait and see if the reviews for this show are any good.
Yeah, I watched the final episode last night and it was so ridiculous that it made the previous two episodes a complete waste of time. The fact that too many of the main characters were both stupid, and incredibly annoying to watch made it even more uncomfortable.
It's okay if you like a bit of a slow burner but I do find it quite interesting to be fair. The only thing that throws me off is the voice of the main character, somehow it just doesn't match the face.
Scratch that. Watched the latest episode (which turned out to be the finale) and my general view is that it was poor. If you want to sit through five hours feeling bored in the hope that it will eventually improve, don't bother, because it doesn't. Another flop drama from the BBC.

Highly recommend it. The first season is brilliant, the second is quite ok and in the third season it gets better again. Waiting eagerly for the fourth season.
The acting is brilliant and the plot gets you hooked as well.
Edit: Season 4 coming 2018, the shooting was done last fall.

The Maniac (NetFlix) was fecking brilliant, it's a about a patient in psychic asylum who escapes difficult situations and memories inside his own fantasy world and also has this imaginery friend who makes him do wacky stuff. It's a bit like black humor but more funnier.
Features a hot actress!

This Is Us might just be one of the best shows I've ever seen. Incredibly high quality
Ended up watching the first 14 episodes of this with some girl last weekend. It's alright.
Show's strongest point is that there's genuinely some good character development in my opinion. Couple of real funny lines get dropped occasionally too. And Randall is an absolute boss. All in all nowhere near as shite or girly tv-esque as the trailer suggests it will be.
Coming to think of it, I'd actually say it's well worth the watch.

I think the writing is just ridiculously good. Every character is interesting and nothing feels corny or forced. Major rarity in this type of show.
Just started Outlander last night, not bad but not great either. Oh and the music keeps reminding me of Black Sails, which doesn't help.
Do you want some tampons for your vagina?
I though it was a soft lady porn (50 shades-ish)
No it's okay, you can keep them.
Didn't really know what it was about and only watched it because I'd seen others mention it.
Just started watching Designated Survivor on Netflix, it's superb. Watch it.
It is excellent, I was not sure at first.
Watched the pilot, worth checking out. Seems interesting. Just hope they don't borrow too much from Solyaris and the like.
anybody see Beyond , first EP is promising.
A young man wakes up from a 12 year coma to discover new abilities that come to propel him into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy.

Sounds pretty damn rubbish.
One of my favourites. I also liked The Killing, Borgen and Dem som dræber (the latter perhaps less so but I'm a sucker for Lars Mikkelsen). I know it's become almost cliché but I think they're making some great stuff in that neck of the woods.
Just finished Travelers anyone know when the next series is out because I can't wait too long for it!
Season 2 production is due to begin in March 2017. Cant see it being released until Sept/Oct.
It's OK , story line is interesting and getting better.
Ah ok then. Looks like I've got to find something new to watch then!
watched all 10 eps, it is average at best, could have been much better, it has a second season.
6.5/10 at best for me.
Just finished season 1. Ten quality episodes with brilliant acting, especially by the character Saga Norén. She is very good.
It's from the writers of 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' which is actually a very good film for a chick flick type movie.
