Can't remember the last time I sat in front of the TV shouting "Oh COME ON! Just LISTEN!! What are you WAITING FOR!!!?".
Peter Kay's Car Share. The ordinary, transformed. Genius.
Wayward Pines is rather good!
Daredevil on netflix
Veep - fantastically funny
House of Cards - just gets better
Better Call Saul - I thought it would be good but it's far exceeded my expectations
+1 Daredevil.
Episodes is consistently good.
+ whatevs for Daredevil. Great TV.
Peaky Blinders, House of Cards, Daredevil, Rake, Suits and a few others
Is daredevils ok to watch with kids aged 10 and 9?
The Affair is quite good...Sky Atlantic I think.
Orange Is The New Black...quite funny.
Trying Wayward Pines...not convinced by Matt Dillon, but after episode 3 😯 , well, gotta find out what happens next.
Is daredevils ok to watch with kids aged 10 and 9?
I wouldn't let mine (10 & 8 ) watch it. I've only watched two episodes so far but it's pretty dark and violent.
Daredevil is a bit darker than the other Marvel stuff
I wasn't going to bother with Car Share but Mrs Oldman insisted. It was very good. Unfolded slowly. Love the little bits of "dream" film too.
Car Share has been great!
Better Call Saul turned out to be a totally different animal than i expected. Absolutely brilliant!
The Returned has been really good too.
Netflix is looking increasingly good at producing high quality telly
Oh... Inside Number Nine was absolutely fantastic too. As twisted as you'd expect from those two
Loved Car Share--the very end of ep 5 with the exchange of dirty looks and the post-it notes was just brilliant 🙂

Indeed...if you haven't already watched Bloodlines, give it a go. Turned out very well.
I'll put that next on ze list Bravissimo. Given what it allows you access too, a Netflix subscription really is an absolute bargain! We get our money's worth out of it just with the stuff the kids watch. They don't watch that much telly, but they don't even bother with anything else.
Daredevil has someone putting their own had through a spike, probably not the best for the kids. I thought it was a bit rubbish. Not terrible, just not very good.
Enfield haunting was better than expected, some great bits but some ITV drama bits too.
Still looking for a new series to watch (maybe twin peaks again)
Brooklyn Nine-Nine makes me laugh like I'm 13 years old again.
I think Terry Crews might be my new man crush, or Andy Samberg.
Yep another enjoying Car Share
...but best series recently was Inside Number 9
Marvellous
The Enfield Haunting
Jinx - The Bob Durst Documentary
The Affair
Cheers all for feedback
Putting it on now 😉
Peaky Blinders!! In my opinion the best TV series of all time.
The factory tours, milk, bread and chocolate, very interesting.
The detectives was very interesting as well, a different look at police work.
Ah yes how quickly we forget. Inside No. 9.
Wolf Hall is the best TV I have seen this year. By a long way.
Quite enjoying The Game at the moment
liked the three films on BBC4 about glass, metal and wood -the ones without any commentary
also enjoyed some of Ballot Monkeys- the third episode was excellent
I should say I don't have any access to satellite TV- not paying Murdoch a penny if I can avoid it so miss out on quite a few of the above programmes
Another vote for Car Share. Dogging episode had me falling of the sofa with laughter.
Bit late to it, but also enjoying George Gently. Never caught it previously. Loving the old 60's cars: how cool is that Ford Corsair!
Jim - none of the programmes mentioned have owt to do with Murdoch. Let's be honest, the words 'Quality Drama' and 'Sky' are unlikely to be mentioned in the same sentence.
A Netflix subscription is about £7 a month, I think, and for the quality and quantity of stuff it gives you access to is outstanding value for money!
Yip, totally agree, car share has seen PK finally get it together again, really good stuff.
Let's be honest, the words 'Quality Drama' and 'Sky' are unlikely to be mentioned in the same sentence.
If it wasn't for Sky Atlantic which does get plenty of good stuff, and, cough, splutter, Fox HD...I do flagellate myself every time I watch one of them. 😀
1864 shaping up well on BBC4 - episodes 3 & 4 tonight
and another for Car Share - comedy genius!
Agreed, the only two channels I watch that aren't on freesat.
the three films on BBC4 about glass, metal and wood -the ones without any commentary
These, these were Genius.
Thats about it.
Don't get/understand "car share" at all. I guess you have to be Nor... 😆
Nowt. 😐
Not sure you have to be "Northern" bikebouy.
I'm a Midlander married to a South Westerner living in Cheshire and it had both of us laughing out loud in its subtle references.
Daredevil is defintely not for kids. 15 certainly. 18 cerftificate likely for several violent scences. Pretty good adult viewing though.
BBC Sharks is awesome (although I am a marine biologist).
Liking "The Game" on BBC at the moment. Not just the acting, but am shocked that I like 1960's style.
CHB, It's set in the 70's.
Having lived through that time it does evoke the period very well. I remember playing Monopoly in the kitchen in the light of a Tilley lamp when the power went off most evenings, or at least that's what it felt like.
The Game is lovely to look at (sets, cars, costumes, buildings, props etc) but it's no Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The last episode where they had playing cards as representatives of who might be the leak rather took the piss i thought (remembering a very similar scene but with Control's chess pieces as the 'suspects' in the film).
I was thinking 1864 when i opened this thread, it really is great. Lord knows how historically accurate it is, but the first historical drama i have ever really got into. 2 episodes behind everyone else though so no spoilers please!
I really liked both series of inside no 9. New series had some great episodes and some average ones though.
Impractical Jokers. Probably been around for years, but I've just found it. Cracks me up.
Car share - missing, last seen entering a whore
You have to watch the side jokes
Im liking Penny Dreadful series 1. And still enjoy The Blacklist.
Gotham
Banished
Peaky Blinders
Ordinary lies

Car share - missing, last seen entering a whore
Great comedy - helped pass 30 mins in Channel Tunnel yesterday. Not sure everyone really got the Northern humour but I love it. Kay's facial expressions (eyes at the end of E1) are genius. As for Kayleigh (and the dogging episode)!!!
Gotham and Marvel Agents of Shield.
Also enjoying Meet the Goldberg and Inspector George Gently.
It's hardly new, but I'm loving Justified at the moment. Oh and I've (I know, I know) just discovered Breaking Bad too; it's a lovely feeling when you have 50 odd episodes to go and you know that you're going to love them...
Gotham is pretty good..
The BBC shark series (still on iplayer)
Fortitude was OK.. quite odd but quite enjoyed it
The Game is lovely to look at (sets, cars, costumes, buildings, props etc) but it's no Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
It certainly isn't. I watched the first one and gave up.
Ooh I tell what was good. The short series about Manchester Detectives. Knocked fictional cop shows into a cocked hat.
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, tonight 9pm and strangely for BBC1 it's on BBC1.
We liked last weeks episode, we'll let the series run on as its a little quirky and showing some great acting moments.
As for Northern humour, some I get, some I don't. Peter Kay I don't, nor that other chubby bloke. I like Lee Mack though and he's Northern 😆
It certainly isn't. I watched the first one and gave up.
I managed most of the first one. The dialogue was awful, sounded like a Radio 4 afternoon play that no-one had bothered to rewrite for telly.
Or one of those essays you had to write in English - "What I did on my holidays".
I would recommend Bloodline. Well made and the plot is a lot better than the Affair which after a few episodes starts to become really annoying.
For a comedy The Goldbergs is ace. Brilliant the way he shows his home footage at the end which obviously laid the groundwork out for that particular episode. So many awesome 80's references and tunes, it's worth watching just for that if you were an 80's kid.
...oh, to add to my previous post, forgot to mention Episodes
Car Share. Brilliantly done and hilarious.
Hunters of the Southern Sea. I'm not one for these kind of documentaries, but these I have found oddly moving.
Pesky Blinders ... That's all. Don't really do TV !
No offence on channel 4 had been really good.
Bloodline on netflix is really good.
The "Off Button" 🙂
Seriously though we're really into Bates Motel via Netflix, and Tattu on i-player.
