Just completed the Breaking Bad box set. Brilliant. And very little if any gratuitous sex in it, which makes a change from the norm.

Have enjoyed the first two episodes of Last Panthers and looks more promising than Sky Atlantic's last big effort Fortitude.

Season 1 of Fargo was great, but so far Season 2 is even better.

Ah fortitude was 50% brilliant and 50% gash. Enjoyed tucci character.

Fargo 2 has some cast it must be said.

Just finished Daredevil, bloody, and I do mean bloody, great fun.

Have started Jessica Jones and Marvel certainly are taking a few risks with the Netflix stuff it's safe to say. Just super high quality

In the words of John McClane, Welcome to the party pal.

Jessica Jones is absolutely quality, but crikey is it dark. Makes Nolan's Batman trilogy look like an episode of Frasier

Krysten Ritter is superb in it - Lucy or Gia she certainly is not

The Grinder, comedy about a tv actor who plays the character of a lawyer in a hit show, when the show gets cancelled he heads home to the family law firm and uses his 'knowledge' to interfere with real cases while at odds with his younger brother who runs the firm.

Stars Rob Lowe who is great as usual, Fred Savage dry and funny and Steve Little aka the side kick Stevie from Kenny Powers is his usual bumbling hilarious self.

Netflix "Making a murderer" is well worth the time.

Start it early in the day or you will be up till 4 or 5am
About 10 hours to watch followed by another hour to calm down and find out how to fix a tv screen with a boot through it

Yeah I binged on it over Christmas. Riveting show but important to not Google it before watching all ten hours of it because there's spoilers all over social media now.

Just started on Into The Badlands. The fight scenes are impressive though I'm not bought into the premise yet.
Champions of Europe 09, 11 & 12!
Pro 12 and Challenge Cup Champions 13!
Pro 12 Champions 14!
Magners League Champions 08!
Best supported in the Magners League 08 & 11!

Deutschland 83 is a great watch, great plot and 80's music throughout. Bridge Series 3 has just started on TG4 - so worth a watch.

Loved it apart from the main American guy, thought he was awful.

Have a feeling they'll be flogging a dead horse as it goes on though. As people have pointed out, it's called "Narcos" so it's not like it's specific to Escobar meaning it'll be poor as he drifts out of it, but Netflix have a habit of dragging things out and can see that happening again.

Well pardon my Spanish! Narcos it is.

Oh and the main American guy is gone for next year. The latino guy who looks like Nathan Fillion will have a new pardner.
