My first 2 choices of season2 Fargo and The Americans unfortunately aren’t on there so to keep MrsW happy we started with Suits.
I haven’t seen Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, The Crown etc etc
Can I have recommendations please.
My other favourite series was Dexter. Although it tailed off towards the end the first four or five seasons were fantastic.
Currently watching.

Re: Currently watching.
Finally tracked down The Americans on Lightbox.
Watched series 1 years ago and loved it but they never screened series 2 and now I find out there are 5 series.
Started again from the first pilot and remember why I thought it was great.

No, not her cup of tea. She grew up in a nasty dictatorship and killing "as entertainment" so to speak is just something she doesn't get. She is okay with it in a fantasy sense (LOTR, Star Wars etc) and were we to start watching she might get pulled into a good storyline but the initial reaction tends to be negative.

Re: Currently watching.
Never tackled US version of the Killing partly because I just can’t imagine how it could possibly measure up to the amazing Danish original. I still get chills thinking about the first series of that show.revbob wrote: ↑29 Apr 2018, 2:18pmIts one of those shows I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't like is one of the main reasons.

Also looking forward to the third season of The Bridge which is coming soon.

Dexter was fantastic - especially the Lithgow season - until that turd of a final season.Heston wrote: ↑29 Apr 2018, 11:03amI'm three seasons into Breaking Bad and absolutely loving it.101Walterton wrote: ↑15 Apr 2018, 3:12pmOk squad I need some advise.

Re: Currently watching.
Started watching Handmaid’s Tale, anyone watched it?
Not sure about it yet and don’t want to invest in a whole series if anti climax.

I'm curious too, don't have Hulu and haven't gotten around to acquiring it by other means. I saw the movie years ago.101Walterton wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 4:39pmStarted watching Handmaid’s Tale, anyone watched it?

Re: Currently watching.
I saw it and liked it. Season 2 is rolling now, so I imagine it's not adapted from the book at this point.revbob wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 5:21pmI'm curious too, don't have Hulu and haven't gotten around to acquiring it by other means.

And it's outstanding. I loved the book so they had an uphill battle for me to like it, but they basically nailed the shit out of it.Marky Dread wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 6:50pmSure is.revbob wrote: ↑03 May 2018, 5:45pmThe Alienist is on Netflix over there?
