Its a great show. Stick with it.
Recently started watching Altered Carbon and loving it so far. Binged the first 7 episodes in the past 2 days.
Has great action scenes and a very interesting scifi/futuristic concept in that the human mind/conciousness has been digitised and can be stored & swapped between bodies (aka sleeves).

I'm a good few years late to Luther, but just watched it all in a couple of days. I don't normally binge, but just couldn't stop watching it. It's totally OTT and far-fetched a great deal of the time, and the criminals they're chasing are total caricatures, but it's still a great watch. Loved the story with the twins, as silly as it was. It's all very well acted for something so unbelievable.

Generation Kill
Im just disappointed they didn't aquire the rights to the music of both Biggie and Tupac. The made up artist songs are pretty disrespectful IMO
Anyone seen Persons Unknown? I quite liked it. Only 1 season mind.
It's a shame because they've got some good pictures and footage.
Ash v The Evil Dead season 2 is brilliant
No one here watching Crashing? HBO comedy about a stand-up trying to made it. Written and starring Pete Holmes. Judd Apatow produces and sometimes writes and it has a cameo from basically every good stand-up out there.
I've just watched the first season this week due to seeing it mentioned on here. Very good. Going to download the second season now.
What are people's recommendations for other similar type comedy sitcoms? Currently watching Crashing and Eastbound and Down but I get through them pretty quick watching 3-4 episodes a day on the tube.
That was me as well. Mentioned it again because I don't think people know about it.
Not sure about a comedy similar to Crashing but F is for Family is a Netflix animation created by Bill Burr. Then there's Broad City which is one of the funniest shows currently on.
Broad City is very good but the last season was terrible IMO.
I downloaded Shameless UK series 1-9 after getting a bout of nostalgia. 45GBs!
Finished the first season and my God its as great as I remembered.
Fantastic from start to finish. The intro/outro music takes me back. :')
Also noticed Mark Mylod directed a lot of eps and Brynden Blackfish Tully is in it as the baliff.
Little six degrees of seperation for GoT.

3rd season of Billions out 29th March Sky Atlantic.
Oh yes baby!
Oh yes baby!
Recently binged through Love on Netflix. Quirky dark comedy starring Gillian Jacobs (who is fecking stunning). Really good watch I thought.
Shout out for Sneaky Pete, best thing on tv for a while.
I finished season 2 yesterday, it's a very entertaining show
A couple of people have said this, could you explain? Its in English, why the need for subtitles?
It’s great. Hits that rare sweet spot where me and the missus both enjoy a show equally.
They mutter a lot and use loads of acronyms.
Do you use subs for a lot of shows, or did you just find it necessary for this?
I use them a fair bit. First English language show I did it with was The Wire.
You needed subtitles for The Wire? Is that because of the Baltimore accent?
I'm currently on season 2 of Blacklist and I really quite like it, James Spader is perfect for his role and pretty much every scene he's in is brilliant. There are some corners cut at times when they need to get on with the plot of that specific episode but the main story that's running in the background is very well done and there are a lot of twists and turns which I love.
I have to say that I was surprised over how dark it is at times, but it only adds to the show imo.

Ive had Blacklist on my watch list for a long time now but somehow have never got round to it.
Late to this but I love the crown , I have never been bothered about the Royal family but I have really enjoyed the show
Yeah, really enjoyed it. Got the post-show blues now. Need to latch on to something new.
Yeah. That, the mumbling and all the slang.
Just started Mosaic , short 6 ep season, murder mystery, have to admit bit of a slow start.

It doesn't get any better
have to admit on ep3 and struggle quite a lot, the acting is not good.
turned it off during ep3 , UTTER RUBBISH.
yupAbout to finish Season 4 of Bates Motel and it's genuinely gripping.
I didn't think it would work as a prequel to Psycho earlier on, and I thought Freddie Highmore was miscast as Norman Bates, but I was wrong on both counts. There were some kooky subplots where the writers were trying to hard to come up with bad scenarios, but overall the characters were well-developed, and Freddie Highmore's slow transformation is a great credit to his abilities as an actor. He's absolutely class in alternating from innocent guy to a frightening killer the next. And Vera Farmiga too did an incredible job as Norma.
It may or may not be fit for a prequel to Psycho, but it sure is damn good.

Is that Oregon Rajneesh cult series on Netflix as good as it's being hyped up?
I've got a 5 day Easter break coming up that I would love to find binge content for.
