The first series of Homeland is great. The others....not so much.

Ozark definitely. I thought the first series of Homeland was good, then it went rapidly downhill.
Have you seen Americans?

Foot's on the other hand
The latter series, I think 5 or 6, had genuinely some of the best, edge of seat, TV I've ever seen....Before a season finale that was probably up there with the worst/most disappointing.
It also had one of the best characters ever in Peter Quinn.
Homeland got much better once they ditched storylines around Whatshisname. It was 2 different shows in that regard.

I have just finished watching an Italian series, Luna Nera, about witches in 17th century Italy. Highly recommendable.

Wow I didn't even know it went up to 6 series. I gave up during the 3rd.
Numbers
an ting!
So it is.Yes
Winona Ryder is amazing in this.
My fav character tho is Hopper, so far anyway (I’m only on (half way in) ep5.

Stark Raving Sane
One of the reasons I struggled through it is that I couldn't stand Ryder's performance. Since I've liked her well enough in the past, I can only assume it's the director to blame for "you must be hysterical to the edge of catatonia in every single scene".
Saul Goodman
It's all good, man
Locke and Key. Just binged it and it wasn't three bad.

I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would. Slow burning but very watchable and refreshingly free from the kind of cliches you’d expect if it’d been a Hollywood productionOk.
So I finished series 1 of Ragnarok.
I love scandinavian series and films for the spectacular scenery and lowkey (pun there) acting.
This has all the amazing scenery. The Big house on the mountain looks real and is like something from Lord of the Rings.
I hope there is a second series. I likes this...

I enjoyed it- it did everything I would have expected of the genre and premise. Having said that the finale was perhaps a bit underwhelming compared with the tone of the series earlier on. But still good entertainment.
Apparently fans of the comics have complained this adaptation is a bit too sanitised and vanilla. Iam now curious to check out the comic.

Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope there will be another series.

It was interesting for them to portray Thor-to-be as just about the most socially inadequate and timid kid on earth, and not exactly a looker either - complete opposite to the Marvel universe character.Glad you enjoyed it.
I hope there will be another series.

True....but it's hard to beat Chris Hemsworth and Led Zeppelin though.

I thought the kid who (clearly) was Loki was very well cast.

Oh yeah. I enjoyed it. Missed loads of the references, no doubt. Can't wait for the next season even though it's 'kinda' by the numbers...the numbers are just written differently.

We finished this at the weekend. I know what you mean about the ending but it wasn't a total disappointment. The way they work that final twist in, is a bit suspect but it's still worth watching, imo.

enough
I watched the Killer Inside: The Mind Of Aaron Hernandez over the weekend. Recommended by DexterTCN further up the thread. I don't follow American Football but remember him being charged a few years ago and didn't know what happened until I watched the documentary. Err... blimey.

They did a good job though and made a modern Thor rather more plausible...
