Are all seasons good? Or is there a Dexter/Lost-esque dropoff in quality?
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Only the 7th is weak for me and the movie wasn't exceptional. First six are flawless.
Hooked on Escape at Dannemora a seven episode mini-series starring Benicio Del Toro and Patricia Arquette, its about a prison break and was directed by Ben Stiller. 8/10

I’m on the last episode, it’s great. Really good cast too.
I've got the last two episodes left, as you say, brilliant cast and great performances.
Just watched Sharp Objects, it was a bit slow , but I enjoyed it, very good twist at the end.
Just seen the trailer for it, looks disappointing.
Personally thought it started to go downhill in season 4 when Kellerman came in . Then season 5 had Jon Seda to make it worse and they just continued to cast actors for their looks rather than talent till it was finally cancelled.
The first three seasons though we're fantastic and Bayliss and Pemberton are still the best cop duo in TV for me
Me and the missus watched The Haunting of Hill House over the Christmas break. Thought it was really good for a horror series
Also I’ve never watched The Sopranos but always wanted too. I know I could just download it somewhere... but I’m kind of a collector of blu rays/DVD’s. Is it worth spending £50 on for the collection or should I watch it elsewhere first?
Spend spend spend.
Has anyone watched Future Man? I started it the other day and well finished it in 1 sitting just about. It’s hilarious well worth a watch. There is one episode where they just rinse James Cameron ruthlessly, and other episodes with hilarious one liners. Wolf is amazing.
Just started watching "You" so far so good
You could potentially download a HD version but that would make you worse than Hitler so don't do it.
A great watch possibly barring the last episode, which you will probably love or hate as opinion seems divided.
IMO (and others will disagree) it wasn't quite up there with The Wire or Breaking Bad, but very close.
Just binged through the first season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel today. Enjoyable comedy that I really thought wouldn't appeal too much to me.
Salvation, another great series from the brilliant mind of Alex Kurtzman.
I'm literally dumber after watching it, but hey, that's the price for watching garbage.

Recently watched 'Sorry for our loss'. Liked it a lot. Thought Elizabeth Olsen was brilliant in it.
Elizabeth Olsen is brilliant in everything. Don't you deny it.
He is best known for co-writing the scripts to Transformers, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness
I think this is an amazing take on Transformers, specifically the creative work done in the script

And now will also have even bigger hand in the new season of STD. 
Great video there, but have to be near the volume control when Rich starts laughing.

He also wrote Amazing Spider-Man 2 iirc, along with directing that Mummy shitshow
This is the first time I saw her in something and I was impressed. Need to check out more of her stuff.
Who knew Mary-Kate & Ashley's younger sister will turn out to be the hotter and the more talented one.
Don't normally go for the ITV crime dramas but Manhunt is worth a watch. It's about how they caught Levi Bellfield. Last episode of 3 is tonight so catch it on ITV player.
You haven't seen the Avengers movies, or the most recent Godzilla movie? She s been in more things but those are some movies that were hard to avoid.
She was meh!
I always thought Elizabeth Olsen was one of the twins for some reason
I watch very few movies as it is and actively avoid the Disney/Marvel Universe.
Does he sign off each episode with xoxo?
Good for you if only more would do the same we might see the end of these bland cash ins every month
I also recommend The bodyguard
I also thought he was saying mom https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7630611/bodyguard-fans-richard-madden-accent-us/

https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7630611/bodyguard-fans-richard-madden-accent-us/Wind River is another. Very good film and she is excellent in it
Saw this last night. Very good stuff.
Yer man Whishaw was quite good. Hugh Grant playing a different kind of character, for a change so enjoyed that.
The scenes when Grant first hooked up with Whishaw
Indeed good point. Guess her real break came with Silent House. Pretty good flick that too. Kinda interesting though that since the marvel movies she has appeared in little else.
Just started the 2nd season of Mike Judge presents: Tales from the tour bus. Shows about the history of music and the narrative is animated. 1st season about country, 2nd season is about funk. There are some incredible stories in there. Man, I just became a fan of Rick James watching S2E2 (two-parter). Really recommend it if you have the slightest interest in documentaries or musical history. Each episode is about 30 minutes and your musical taste is completely irrelevant to the viewing.
Odd question: Should I start Games of Thrones? :blind:
With all the hype around the final season this year, I am now thinking to jump on the bandwagon at the last minute. Somehow the hype had put me off before, thinking it cannot possibly be that good and is only hyped because of the production value, violence and sex. I did the same think with Breaking Bad until watching it last year, and now I regret that I only watched when everyone else had long moved on. It was indeed quite good. Does GoT have good storylines and character development in addition to the violence and sex? It has become such a staple of pop culture that there must be something to it. But it seems like a mountain to climb, given that there are 7 seasons.
For reference some shows that I watch or have watched and liked (in no particular order): The Wire (this is by far number one, though!), The Sopranos, Dexter (until season 6), Lost (f*ck you season 6!), House of Cards (skipped the final season), Breaking Bad, Orange is the new Black, The Man in the High Castle, Narcos.

The first 2 season are classic HBO quality, top notch dialogues, amazing TV.
It goes downhill after that, but at least with very good CGI and dragons and shit, including the odd quality moment or episode.
Yep, this is definitely a good moment to start watching.
Probably been mentioned thousand times but The Thick of It.
I recently watched Community for the first time ever, and I absolutely loved it.
All 6 seasons or are you just starting out?
It's streets ahead of most sitcoms, it really Chang-ed the game.
