Deep State.
I thought the first episode was rubbish, but having been persuaded by my Dad to keep watching, I now think it’s brilliant !

Over the last two years, I've done all the Trek series. Went original first then Next Gen, Enterprise, DS9 and finished with Voyager.

DS9 early seasons was "let's see who comes through the wormhole this week". It got very good around series 3-4 when the Dominion first got involved but got pretty silly in the final season when it was "let's show how good we are with CGI graphics in battles" every week.

Enterprise was very under-rated although I did keep expect Captain Archer to look round for his hologram Al to help him out of things.

Me too! :D

He did appear in the first series though, as a bad guy. Was a bit strange watching it tbh.

I was was going to put the same!

Im also watching 3% on Netflix. Much better than Rain. But again you’ll need to read and watch!

The only problem with subtitles is the rather obvious one - you have to watch - all the time - I can't allow myself to be distracted from the screen or I lose track - obviously.

We’re just about to watch the last episode of Narcos, what a journey its been. Absolutely sublime tv, I don’t recall a weak episode. Are we allowed to swear in Spanish? 😂
I now need suggestions as what to watch next. No pap like, needs to be really high quality.

Really enjoying the original Battlestar Galactica on Forces TV. It's 40 years old but still watchable. Although why did the leader of the Cylons always sit on top of that massive plinth? There was nothing for him to do up there apart from sit and look down on people.

By your command.

Enjoying "One Night in Turin" about England at Italia 90 currently on the History channel. What a good side and a good manager and the last chance we had to get to a final and win. Nothing going to change. Interesting to watch the back drop of the press campaign against Robson (nothing has changed) , the hooligans (again what has really changed) and the political climate (anyone remember Moynihan?)

Oh, I absolutely loved that series as a teenager. Watched it on dutch tv in English with Dutch subtitles (both languages being largely gibberish to me at that time) and so much static noise that the subtitles were hardly readable anyway. Read all the novelizations as well at the time. Never really got on board with the remake.

Oh man, the original is a cult classic but the remake is outstanding - the depth of the space politics going on is fantastic!
