I thought he was rather brilliant in the later episodes of X Files. But that's just me.

Has anyone given Halt And Catch Fire a go?
The first season's on Canadian Netflix and Amazon Instant Video has both seasons. I've been eyeing it up for a while and we've just finished Bloodline so need something else.
If it's a tech thriller/drama I'd be interested but no so keen if it's just a potted history of PC development.

No I'm pretty sure that was 8ball...
Meh think mad men meets computers. I hated season one but apparently season 2 is a big step up
You mean the guy from X files?
This week, I've done Better Call Saul, as it was meant to be done - binge style.

Yeah I did that with breaking bad. It's so much more enjoyable/exciting/satisfying. Especially on a rainy day...

Granted, they're on the US version of Netflix - but come on, if I can figure it out on a Mac then how hard can it be (Chrome + Hola = US Netflix)

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Just been bingeing on Line Of Duty (which I missed at the time), a BBC bent cop procedural series created by Jed Mercurio (who did Bodies and Cardiac Arrest).
Within the limitations of British terrestrial television (e.g. only eleven episodes across two series; the usual panopoly of perhaps-too-familiar-faces milling around), very impressive. Not quite the overall beginning/middle/end narrative strength of the likes of State Of Play, or the quirky, genre-defying breadth of an Edge Of Darkness, but compelling and moreish all the same.

never odd or even
Being a bit of a Netflix binger (House of Cards, Person of Interest, Suits, The Good Wife, OITNB) I'm amazed at how often this is the case on US TV too - surely they've got a big enough pool of bit-part actors that they don't need to recycle the same people over and over?
Anyway, Line of Duty - caught both on terrestrial at the time and really enjoyed them.

didn't see it first time around , the Lennie James character reminded me of Vic in The Shield

Lovely stuff, I am two episodes in and was wondering if it would maintain its quality.

So many particulars. So many questions.
Gangsters: Faces of the Underworld. Ludicrous styling and music but is mainly old g's from the day talking of their crime history. How much is bullshit and misdirection is anyones guess but its interesting

Would anyone recommend Sons of Anarchy? The mrs is addicted to it and is on the 7th series. Im looking for something good with a big body of work to get into. Loved Breaking Bad, Narcos and Better Call Saul and at a loose end now Netflix-wise.

Yeh I bet. Although not watched it, im exposed to it as the mrs was constantly muttering about shit going with the IRA while watching it on her laptop.

Sons of Anarchy is well worth watching, but the cumulative effect of all 7 series may prove to be a right downer (was for me) and you also lose patience with some of the repetitive plot tricks / repetitive dialogue lines. Still, some terrific characters, gripping tension, shocking moments - and some erratically brilliant acting from SOME of the cast (naming no names.) You are absolutely best off just missing out the series with the "Irish" stuff though.

Thats a lot of important bits of the story missing if you leave it out though. But yeah, it's completely bonkers.

I've been binge watching 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' it's an American comedy that has been going for 10 years and i'd never heard of it til recently. Loving it - all of the characters are nasty shits tbh - yet somehow you end up liking them think of it as Friends:The Dark Side.

It was in the end quite horrible. Every dream, every shred of brotherhood drowned in a downward spiral of violence and violence. In the end I called it a dark fairytale of a biker gang where everything bad you did comes back on you. Even if you did bad in the service of a wider good.

^ all true. And that sort of tricky waltz with the romance and adventures of violent men is always hard to pull off. However what *really* got to me was not the darkness or violence - it was the slapdash plotting, with characters (especially the female ones *coughcough*) doing things that nothing in the previous eps had established any real motive or plausibility for.
but I got to spend a LOT of time perving over Charlie Hunnam so it was all OK in the end.

on that front, the plot device of JT's letters was milked unto death. And then jax starts keeping a journal for his kids too. HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING
