Loved FArgo. Great viewing although the ending to Season 3 was a bit crap. Looking forward to S4.

The Innocents was ok.... Guy Pearce in it, as Doctor of sorts, doing a strange British accent..
Two kids sort of elope, and then one finds out she's not normal, then we learn of a whole history of not normal and after 8 episodes of chasing and weird stuff, a sort of ending come cliff hanger finishes it off.
Very pretty in Dolby Vision....Nordic drone footage, very nice.

I've just started Fargo (although some of it seems very familiar I'm sure I've seen it before - which is a worry!) S1 is excellent though so far.

Bit concerned I'm coming to the end of S4 of Brooklyn 99 - really didnt think I'd like it, but after just a few episodes the characters develop so strongly!... and the women are more than a bit hot.

Just finished season 1 of "Continiuum", good sci-fi about time travel, good story line so far, three seasons to go.

It's pretty good, they do evolve the story quite a bit as it goes. Gets a bit creative as it goes and moves on from the basics of Season 1.

Season 4 is a bit short but they do manage to construct a proper satisfying ending, and you won't necessarily expect it.

It's been on my Watch list for ages, might start it tonight.

If that kind of storyline is your thing then give Travelers a try. I went in to it with very low expectations and it takes about 4 episodes to really get going and the storylines to arc out but it was really good watching (I thought at least) and looking forward to season 3 which I think is out later this year.

Dark Tourist

A New Zealand journalist visits various places and attractions across the world that appeal to those who want to places that have been associated with death and tragedy. It's bizarre, horrific and interesting all at the same time. Not sure the presenter was the correct choice for this and is slightly annoying but that aside this series was quite an eye opener

Thanks for that, put it on my list.

PS. Just watched five mins of it, hooked now.

Well. That's Ozark binged. Absolutely brilliant.

We'll set up for season 3 as well.

Is it more of the tap-dancing-on-quicksand formula or did they do something different for the second series? It was a bit formulaic if enjoyable to start with but I was losing interest towards the end. If it's more of the same I think I'll pass.

There is of course the them of the show and that's the challenges of doing what he does for the people he does it for but I didn't see some of the story coming as easy as I did in the last series. There is the odd filler episode like all of these things.

Just watched this. Just came across as low budget.
Arnold singing at the end was the highlight. I'm guessing the budget went on his fee.
