Mr Robot.

Series one done.

It is bonkers!
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!!!

Mr Robot is just epic.

Loved it from start to finish.

It can get a bit wacky but stick with it.

10 out of 10 blue screens of death nerd
I'll be sticking with it, just started E1 of S2.

Very off the wall and out there to say the least.

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
I was going to add all those plus preacher also.

Right, I have finished Hunters. First show I have binge watched in a while. Well recommended (other than the duff performance mentioned above).

I have, though, a question about the ending as I am dim.

Why did they take Joe to Argentina?

I tried the first episode of Hunters this afternoon. The beginning was beyond ridiculous, watched a bit more then packed it in.

A solid 30+ hours binge watching should see you up to date by about midnight tomorrow. :-)

It won't disappoint.

Hunters is well worth a few hours of anyone’s time if only to remind everyone how good we all have it of late yet complain about everything

Hunters, ep1
The beginning nudity warning should have a warning, oh my word.
Liked the rest though.

Did you miss the last clip? Because that is where the general had escaped to and where her boss (Hitler) was in hiding

Finished Hunters now, would still rate it a 9/10
Give a it a few more posts though and people will be telling you how bad it is due to historical inaccuracies etc laugh

And you were alright with the first scene in the first episode? Or was that the 1/10?

Through my rose tinted spectacles, it was a great opening biggrin
Seriously though, are you just referring to how unlikely it was to have happened? Or the fact that it did happen and was too violent?

It was the sheer unlikeliness. By all means have a 'kick the dog' to establish that the bad guy is a bad guy, but the manner in which it as done was absolutely preposterous.

+1 I almost switched off as it was so badly overacted. It got better after that.... but that wasn't difficult!

Haunt 2019 - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6535880/

Brutal but nicely done horror from the writers of ‘A Quiet Place.’

I hear you but with the nazi hunting being the main story I guess they just wanted to set a baseline to show how evil/how far one of 'them' was willing to go to justify the hunting and killing of them.
