Only just started watching Parks and Recreation. Been meaning too for years, and noticed it was on Amazon Prime. Seems like there's about a million episodes so I'm set for a while. Quite funny so far.

I've been through them all. You are going to embrace, "treat yoself Day", a phrase now used in our house, and the mighty tv character that is Ron Swanson. A true legend.

Some fall flat, don't they all at some stage, but stick with it. There are some real gems in there.

We watched this recently on All 4 and thought it was outstanding and both funny and poignant at the same time. The two youngsters in the leads are excellent.

I probably wouldn’t have watched it,but a mate watched it & recommended it.
Agree about the two leads.

Back watching The Blacklist series 5, just watched the first 3 episodes, has a slightly different edge & feel but still good.

Just giving Chicago Justice a go, quite a few similar style programmes like this are about but some do stand out, so far so good.

Yeah I will do, one major advantage it has is only being 20 minutes long. Can easily stick one on when you're just eating dinner or you have to go out in half an hour or whatever.

Similarly, I'm watching season 4 of Brooklyn Nine Nine which they've just added to Netflix. I love that show, I think it's very funny indeed. Great characters.

And I'm saving Black Mirror season 4 for a rainy day.

I hear the latest Inside Number 9 was a doozy so I'll watch that tonight. Which I am excited about as 'The 12 days of Christine' from series 2 was some of the best 30 minutes of TV I have seen.

Guilty pleasure is DIY SOS. I mostly dislike all the regular cast on it as they seem to think they are characters when they are just being annoying, and they do the same thing every single week. But I always end up forgiving them and crying at the end.

Just started watching Dark on Netflix. It's a German language production overdubbed into English (with the occasional subtitle for written things). Has a sort of Stranger Things vibe to it.

I can confirm that the latest version was indeed excellent. If you have not come across Inside Number 9 before it is well worth a watch. it is kind of a Tales of The Unexpected for the 21st century, with every episode a stand alone one with some twist at the end. They are all done by 2 of The League of Gentlemen and are sometimes horror inflected, there is always some humour in them but also can also be incredibly poignant and emotional. half of the fun is guessing what the twist will be which I never get, but they are all superb bits of TV. The last one is called 'Bernie Winter's Dressing Room' and it is funny and very moving. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09m61xl But don't read any reviews first as it may well give the twist away.

And watch this episode as well, money back guarantee that you will enjoy it and then want to watch it again. But you'll have to be quick as it goes off the iPlayer tomorrow I think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05pwfcf

Netflix continues to produce the good.

Just finished a 4pt Documentary call ‘Dope’ which is all about the war on drugs in the states but it’s taken from all angles - police, dealers and Addicts.

Now watching an 8 part series called ‘shot in the dark’. It’s basically about the film crews in LA that drive around filming all the things TV crews would cover in their news programmes and then selling it to them.

It’s basically real-life Night crawler. The film with Jake Gylenhall from A few years ago. Brilliant viewing

McMafia - watched first 2 episodes and it has me hooked, like these kind of dramas.

Had never seen Breaking Bad but caught the first episode on Friday night on AMC, terrific it was too, can see how it was so popular, will need to try and find more episodes.

Netflix is cheap as chips and you can cancel anytime
