New series of Outlander released today. Looks like its episode by episode rather than full season.

Physiological thriller series, very creepy so far.
Yep, excellent series. Another Stephen King based one if i remember correctly. Second season was out not that long ago but would not rate it as high as the first.
I thought that was on one of the other channels - isn't that an additional subscription?

Watched a film "Jexi" last night - I know it wasn't a brilliant film, but I found it very funny!

I am finding it difficult to find something that I want to watch. Just finished another series, here is my watchlist.

Under The Dome
Haven
Lucifer
Hell on Wheels
Black Sails
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
The Mentalist
Lethal Weapon
House
Alaska State Troopers
The Boys
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan - Season 1
Justified
The Man in the High Castle

I am trying to find things that have been completed, so I don't start watching something only for it to be cancelled half way though
I suggest Bosch. Season 6 will be along soon and they have just announced there will be a season 7 but that will be the last one.

An excellent series I would highly recommend giving it a go.
The Americans is fantastic and six series long. Russian spies working as family in US.
Yes for The Americans.

I’d add Goliath, discrete stories per series.

Vikings will have ended by the time you get through your list.

It must be five or six minutes since someone’s recommended Patriot, dark humour, only two series IIRC.

There is basically a PH playlist here hehe

My wife already flagged this so we watched Ep1. It's a funny old programme... historical drama based loosely around true events (Culloden, American colonisation and revolution), time travel, some extreme violence and rumpy pumpy. But underneath it also sort of stilted, twee costume drama.

So more of the same it seems this season, though I my wife was disappointed that Sam Heughan (who plays Jamie Fraser) hasn't taken his shirt off yet.

Yes, fantastic series. Used to be on ITV2 at 1a.m. for some reason.

Has Banshee made it to Amazon?
Fighting, sex, explosions, bit of Amish, more fighting.
Highly recommended.

Loved Banshee, Jett was not in the same league.

Watching Banshee requires a similar mindset to watching Power. Both are brilliantly trashy.

Already been mentioned on this thread but started binge watching Expanse and its fantastic. Did need to resort to wiki to clear up a few plot point but it's been worth it.

It's BRILLIANT!! The wait for each episode of the final series was interminable - but Romi Malek et al were just brilliant!!

If anybody else hasn't seen it yet.......

well, at one point Elliot says: "I should never have done this. I should have left this alone. I'll never learn. I brought this upon myself. I'll never learn. This is on me. This is on me." and that's just how you'll feel - be warned!!!

I found it to be brilliant in every respect. The humour mostly isn't obvious but it's right there in the writing. Some wonderful photography too.

I have the day off work and have been waiting in for the DHL man. Watched the first couple of episodes, so far so good.

I wish to amend my earlier review.

Ted Moseby is woeful.

Mr Robot is just epic.

Loved it from start to finish.

It can get a bit wacky but stick with it.

hmmmm I'll still have to give it a try - it just sounds intriguing.


Just watched Anna - a little strange but enjoyable enough
