    Watching Narcos Mexico season 2 right now. It is a bit slow at the minute but I expect it to get better like all the others.

    Also started watching Altered Carbon season 2 the other night. Its a pretty good if you like Sci-fi.
    There are two episodes that have always stood out for me

      I really liked the latest Narcos. And Saul is back, yay.

        They've had a real crack with Altered Carbon and I enjoy it. The second season is going along OK.

        One thing about the show is the cleverness is in the concept and not the dialogue, but that's the genre sometimes I suppose.

          Better Call Saul is back and it is a welcome distraction counting down time to when the next episode drops on a Monday night, rather than THAT looming further off Friday night.

          For Breaking Bad fans that haven’t seen it, or couldn’t get past season 1 I would recommend that you stay with it. It has got better with each new season (or perhaps I am able to distance myself from BB a bit more and view it in it’s own right). I have recently started watching Season 1 and I think I enjoyed it more second time round- again maybe now I am not comparing it to BB?

                Agree Remi.
                First few seasons were very very funny.

                  Tried to watch a ep from the new series today but didn't make it through to the end.
                  They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                    Lose the prism in the front of your brain, it's very invigorating.

                      Episode 1 was average.
                      Episode 2&3 had some good bits going for it.
                      Should’ve ended a season or 2 back.

                            (Re above post) The Americans finished in a strong way. So happy it wasn't a cliche end.
                            Mate, as posted previously I'm a massive PKD fan, so knew this series would be good once I finally got around to it.

                            For anyone who has read the book, or his other books, you might have felt there is always a sense of paranoia involved with his writing that makes you kind of feel like the reality you're being narrated is true and reasonable in the context of the storyline, but there's just something not quite right.

                            A bit like David Lynch does with Twin Peaks.

                            Anyway, the low key but hyper-pressurised nature of series one was really well done and while it plods it also moves really quickly and just makes you feel as if something isn't right with the reality the protagonists are living. I'm now up to episode three of season two, and it's maintained that really well.

                              I've been reading and watching the shorts of a show called Billions. It's about a US attorney General going after a dodgy (is there any other sort of) billionaire called David Axelrod.

                              Has anyone seen it? What's it like?

                                I took nearly 6 years to follow up on this, and I wish I could do a PhD on The Wire. It took a while to really grab me, but then it didn’t let go. Also, I’ve not seen any Police TV Show encapsulate the general policing culture of that era and before (my era) until now. Top notch referral.
