Series and Shows

Mr. Robot
Mindhunter

Both are good, Mr. Robot is a masterpiece in my opinion.

Speaking of McMafia: insightcrime.org/news/brief … ismantled/

Legendary scene. Major spoiler.

Seems like a decent show. Ill give that a try.
As far as non American shows go, Italian ones are the best. This one is not bad.

I very much dislike British shows, like Sherlock and Utopia and what not. Self consciously wannabe clever, utterly pointless, gutless, spineless pedantry.

Fixed, you should watch Anthony Bourdain, Parts Unknown.

Critic’s rating?

not in any order

Breaking bad, though I lost some interest after a certain ‘bad’ guy died.
Game of Thrones
Walking Dead
Sopranos
The Wire
Top of the Lake
True Detective
Narcos - not as good as the others, but his character is so extreme and interesting, I put it in
The Handmaid’s Tale -only seen one season
Taboo - one season

I liked it. I’d give it 8/10. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after 1st season.

Reverie. 7/10

What I like the most about this show is the idea itself, which is not only potentially realistic, but quite scary as well; specifically the part in which an implanted AI, acting as a surrogate subconscious of sorts, learns the individual’s reactions and adjusts accordingly, thereby, essentially, facilitating a psychosis (or derealization, as they call it in the series), so not only does one go into his dream world, but the dream world comes out into the real word, thus blurring the distinctions between the two.

The Good Place (I love this show! Joker even loves this show! OMG! All about philosophy too. :mrgreen: )

Currently keen on…

Gotham
Swat
Hollyoaks
Come Dine With Me
The Undateables
Buying and Selling
Lip Sync Battle
Jools Holland
The Jonathan Ross Show
Sunday Brunch
New Made in Chelsea: Croatia
Ninja Warrior UK

Most of these are weekly (sadly), and most of the remainder… half an hour. I don’t spend all day watching TV. :laughing:

Homeland is definitely my fav

I also like the wire

The Terror.

I thought it was well-done. I liked the main actors in this series. It got me thinking: how do we go about imagining what it must have been like, in real life? (btw, Erebus was finally found in 2014, and Terror in 2016)

Currently on my radar:

Weekday year round airing
Hollyoaks
Seasonal airing
House of Saudi: A Family at War
Celebs Go dating
Celebrity Hunted
Zapped
Made In Chelsea
The Apprentice
The Graham Norton Show

Currently on my radar:

Weekday year round airing
Hollyoaks - annoyingly stupid storylines at times, but still riveting viewing. :open_mouth:
Seasonal airing
The Graham Norton Show - funny as always:Kevin Hart and Will Smith were hilarious on last night’s show. :laughing:
Gotham - the final series, in this current portrayal of the dark knight… why must it end! :frowning:
The Looming Tower - Powerful portrayal of the actual events leading up to September 11th 2001… addictive viewing… a well-written, well-acted, and clever script, so not your usual 9/11 portrayal :open_mouth:
