I daresay he is, but I'm still not going to watch any more. I've tried before watching a few more episodes of something I didn't fancy, and it's not worked out for me so far. True Detective would be a case in point. Watched several episodes before realising it wasn't going to get any better.

Watch a few more. The guy who plays Escobar is superb.

Californication is quite entertaining to watch.

The first season of TD? I'm going to hazard a guess you stopped just before it got really fking good. I very nearly did. Final few episodes are the best tele I've ever seen.

Making a murderer. Depressing but a must watch.

After seeing a good few posts on this, i think i'll make a start on this later. Quite fancy giving Narcos a go.

The film Beasts of no Nation is depressing and excellent at the same time. The young lad in the lead role is very, very good

I believe I recommended Borgia a while back, but don't think I've seen anyone else mention it. It really is very good stuff, quite near the knuckle in many ways and the ladies are very attractive.

Originally watched this as it came out on regular tv, currently rewatching it from the start, some of the best tv ever filmed in my opinion. Also there are some roles that certain actors/actresses are just born to play (Robert Downey Junior playing Tony Stark in the avengers films) and David Duchovny is perfect as Hank Moody.

10 hour documentary filmed over 10 years. Just when you thought your opinion of the U.S. justice system couldn't get any lower... your jaw will fall through the floor.

If you liked the recent Ch 4 '24 hours in custody' stuff, you'll love this... though it's a much slower burn. But with much bigger hits a few hours in.

Astonishing doesn't come close.

I'm 4 episodes into this and wow. Just wow. This is one of the most well put together documentaries I've ever seen. The fact that there's no narration or vice over, that its stitched together from film at the time, never seen anything like it before. Can't wait to see how it pans out
+1 to all of the above^
Just finished watching this. Such compelling viewing. Thanks for the recommendation.

Binged on 'How to get away with Murder last night' not bad and stands the test of watching a load at a time.
Me too! I'm only 3 episodes in but am fully encased on where it's going. Thanks for the heads up on this one smile

Looking forward to getting into this next week hopefully. After being excited to watch Game of Thrones but giving up as it's ste (IMO) I hope it lives up to the hype.

On New Years of all nights I'm completely hooked on Making a Murderer! 3 or 4 episodes in, which means I've got 6-7 hours ahead of me...

Just started episode 6. It just gets even more fantastical and incredible. Truly staggering. You honestly couldn't make it up.

Just finished. The more it went on the more I didn't want it to end.

Aside from the story, I'm not sure I've ever watched such a well crafted documentary.
