I will add Banshee to the list mate ????
Westworld, series 3. What a dull, self absorbed mess. Such a disappointment. It's a programme I watch with my son so I will probably stick with it, it's a bonding thing. Otherwise I would bin it off.

It took me three attempts to get into the wire. Gave up after the first couple of episodes each time, mate kept insisting it was worth sticking with but need to push through about 5 episodes to get into it. Eventually did, and stuck with it to the end. Enjoyed it, but not sure I'd say best thing ever.
Same with Breaking Bad, again took two or three attempts to get into it, also enjoyed, but not the best show ever.

Banshee was good, enjoyed it from the start, definitely worth a watch.

Couldn't get into season 2 , think I switched off the first episode and never went back.

Same here quite enjoyed season 1, got half way through Episode 1 of season 2 and binned it off.

If you haven't seen it, and you liked Banshee, then you should watch Justified. If you have seen it, absolutely worth watching again. In my mind, one of the best shows ever, missed by many. I'm currently watching on Amazon Prime with Mrs Wedge as she missed it the first two or three times I watched it. She is loving it, at 40 mins a pop, we're doing two or three episodes a night, and into the last season. Here's a teaser from the first episode
Season 2 had ups and downs. It definitely deteriorated but there were certain episodes that made it worthwhile sticking with. If anyone was starting from scratch though I would say watch series 1 and stop there.

Justified is pure class, Brilliant script, amazing characters and a 10+ for that intantigible cool expresions, looks, gestures, laid back in-bred hillbilly southern charm!! It definitely makes my top 10, although the list of the top 10 is probably nearer 30!

Enjoying Breeders, it’s about an adults perspective on parenthood. Sounds crap, but is quite funny. It’s written by one of the writers (not Iannucchi) of the Thick of It. Martin Freeman is decent and Alun Armstrong who plays his dad has great timing. Wish I’d waited for the whole series to be available.

Just finished Tiger King, blimey you couldn't make it up, wouldn't trust any of them as far as you could throw them, they all seemed a bunch of crooks.
Compulsive viewing though.

Also tried to watch Breaking Bad when it came out and there was a lot of hype over it. I think we managed 2 episodes but gave up as just found it boring. I may go back to it one day and my description of it may come back to haunt me, but to be honest I doubt I'll have time.
Think The Wire was probably the best series I've ever seen.
On a completed different track am currently enjoying Richard Osmans House of Games, really fun quiz show that is not just about answering trivia questions. Plus it avoids having members of the public on being asked dumb easy questions, so there's at least one celeb on each week that is great value. And Great British Menu has got a bit of its mojo back after the the last 2 series started to get dull.

Finished Liar on ITV. Not bad
Caught up on War of the Worlds. Not the BBC
, the better one on Fox HD.
Still carrying on with Black Lightning. So bad, it’s good

I sacked it off after 5 episodes, found it really dull and lacking in doing anything of note. Real shame as I really rate the actor but with the exception of Daredevil Series I think Marvel have hugely let themselves down in the TV market. Luke Cage was basically the same episode every week, Iron Fist is an amazing comic book character but awful series.
Hopefully the next phase of programs will be better

You know what it's about though? So you watched the two episodes when he's still a chemistry teacher and labelled it boring? lol

Yeah, all three series of Daredevil were awesome, and I really liked season 1 of Punisher, but we never got round to watching series 2 - a lot of people said it was dull and no action in it. I found Luke Cage so boring, we never finished series 2 of that as I literally didn't care what happened to him. And the Iron Fist character was so irritating I was actually willing him to lose the fight scenes, lol. Jessica Jones was ok, but the actress carried it a bit I think, and I absolutely hated the blonde girl in it. Actually I don't think we bothered watching the third series of that either.

It gets going after the cancer thing iirc, great series though which we never finished. I remember starting series 5 and thinking wtf is going off ?

Pretty good summary overall that I'd say.
Luke Cage was unbelievably dull from the outset and like you say his character didn't make you care about him. Iron Fist could have been so good, Danny Rand and Kun Lun storyline could have been so good. Instead the writing was weak and choice of actor made him look a sap especially as he had no fight skill or training.
