I've just finished watching Dexter on Netflix, 8 series and 1 year later (I've watched other things inbetween) I was so disappointed by the ending :mmm:

I've also watched all of Breaking Bad (Still the best thing i've watched) & it's spin off Better Call Saul.

Started watching Stranger Things last night as people at work had raved on and after 2 episodes I can't wait to watch it again?

What's everyone else watching at the moment and what series have you enjoyed previously?

Vincenzo on Netflix was very good.

Very disappointed with The Nevers on HBO.
I was enjoying the Victorian England scenes and then they suddenly changed the whole format to some futuristic nonsense.
I couldn't sit through that and stopped watching. Too bad. I found Laura Donnelly to be quite appealing.

Finished Behind Her Eyes on Netflix.
First 4 episodes were unrealistic and characters unbelievable, but overall it was somewhat effective in building an unsettling, erotic thriller atmosphere, so I thought I'd stick with it to see if it could all come together.
Unfortunately final 2 episodes were like the writers had one too many magic mushrooms.
The ending was just too silly for me.

Just found my box set of "Thunderbirds" - flipping awesome - this was made in the mid 60s and it's still superb. There will never be a better show for kids than that and the epic first Fireflash episode.

Mare of Eastown is great so far. the wife and I have watched the first 5 episodes, looking forward to the last couple !

Yep, very good this is. Waiting on tenterhooks for the last episode...

Unable to binge Mare, have also started watching the Frozen Dead on Netflix. A pretty decent detective drama from France.

Mosquito Coast on Apple TV+. Seems good so far but may only have one trick up its sleeve so it'll be interesting to see how long it can sustain the momentum once that's revealed. It's got a bit of a Breaking Bad meets Uncharted meets Narcos vibe to it along with some decent production value.

On the plus side, Ragnarok season 2 is back today and episode one gets the ?.

And better still Lucifer is back tomorrow.

We started on Schitt's Creek last night, first two episodes. Had us laughing out loud already within 10 minutes so bodes well. Will be a good dinner time programme and should last us quite some time.

It is a very good series that keeps up the standard all of the way through. If you like it now the signs are good.

Have you tried Community on Netflix? That is our current tea eating show. Very funny so far, just about to finish series 1.

Yeah I've been watching that on my own at lunchtimes and whatnot. Like you I'm right at the end of series 1 as I only watch it about once a week. That's very good as well, great characters in it, they've done well to make them so varied and different.

I’ll have to check that out, smashing through The Good Place at the moment and will need something else that lasts about 22 minutes that you can put on at 10.30 or as you say when you eat your dinner. (That’s tea to you folk ?)
Sadly the Mrs didn’t warm to Brooklyn 99.
