Love Engrenages and La Casa de Papel and of course the brilliant Gomorra.
Have you watched Suburra yet? I'm half way through, its excellent with a Gomorra vibe but set in Rome.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

I haven't yet but if you say its quality I'll definitely check it out after the current show I'm watching.
I'm watching El Marginal from Argentina atm and I am enjoying it.
You should , there is a few duff eps, but I found most of them excellent
Came across the BBC's Line of duty on Netflix, binged all 4 seasons in a week, pretty good show.
Just started watching the Dr. Dre documentary The Defiant Ones on Netflix. Been wanting to see this for ages.
Just started watching The Looming Tower. It's based on a book by the same name and it's all about the lead up to 9/11. Basically tells the story of the infighting, squabbling and lack of communication between the CIA and the FBI when it came to sharing intel on the terrorists responsible. It stars Jeff Daniels and Peter Sarsgaard and it's been really good so far.
One of my favourite shows that, very good.
It's the only show in which a detective can be thrown off a skyscraper, arrest someone in mid-air, and land in outer space.
Any 80s/90s recommendations? I'm thinking of watching Miami Vice but I'm not convinced yet...
You live too much in the past dude.
Homeland is knocking it out of the park in series 7. Got a tip from a friend and went back for a look, definitely recommended, scarily on the button stuff. Anybody watching A Handmaid's Tale? Good?
Plebs is back on next week. Anyone else watch it?
Who needs that? Just come on redcafe to get your fill
I'm doing a re watch of "Married with Children"... Man, what a tv show.
Can't remember having a laugh out loud alone in a long time, but this show cracks me up every night. Its just so fecking good.

My favourite is the 'Dr Shoe' episode.
haha nice one. Don't really remember it.
I'm just finishing season 2. Lot of classics already.
Watched the first episode of this yesterday, really enjoyed it and I've heard so many good reviews already. Can't wait to power through it.
Ahh nice. Decent show.
Everything Sucks cancelled. Feck off Netflix!
Legendary show. Up there with the greatest of its time.
I think that's fine, really. I liked it, but I like the fact it spans only over one season, a second isn't necessary.
Anyone watching Deep State?
TV adaptation of Mr Mercedes was very good. Two excellent leads (Brendan Gleeson and one of the Treadaways)
Aliiiiiiiiiiice.......what av you done?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.
Alice
Ripley!
Yeah that was very good
King of the Hill.
I've mentioned it to so many English people and none of them have even heard of it. Its just shameful. I don't want to live with people who don't know of this gloriousness.

Just started watching The Americans on Prime. It's excellent.
Detectorists.
I don't know how I missed this when it was on but it's one of the best sitcoms I've seen, written and directed by Mackenzie Cook (Gareth from The Office) about metal 'detectorists' in northern Essex. It's beautifully written, filmed and acted.
It's very quiet, though, so shouldn't be oversold - wistful yet hopeful, it should be given a chance and settled into. But it's genuinely one of the most satisfying series (of any sort) I've ever watched.
I was left with the feeling 'well... that's alright then.'

Engrenages is excellent, even though I don't generally watch that sort of series. I must keep an eye out for the others.
I freaking hate that show
^ That boy ain't right
6 AM and already that boy ain't right
I watched the first episode of the current and final season last week. Its been a great ride. You'll enjoy it!
Quite enjoyed the first three episodes of Bill Hader's new show Barry, about a assassin who gets the acting bug, has bonus Henry Winkler too.

You guys seen the "Masters of Horror" series?
I just noticed that it has been ripped again and released in a 1080p version. I've yet to see it, and wonder if it worth my time.

Yeah, I'm towards the end of the first season and it's been utterly compelling from start to finish. So it maintains this standard the whole way through then? If so, I'll be bracketing it with the likes of Mad Men and Deadwood in terms of quality. Everything about it is of a really high standard.
It certainly does!
Haven't seen it but have had it on my hdd for a while. Let me know if it's any good
