Working my way through The Alienist. A very slow start and difficult to connect with the characters early on. Improves towards the end of season 1 as momentum builds. Hope season 2 is better.
Not a new series at all - but I am totally engrossed in Dexter at the moment (so much so that work paid me to watch 6 episodes today - how decent of them!). Not sure whey I’ve not indulged in it before.

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Dexter but it became a bit of a trainwreck by the end.
Have been binge watching and thoroughly enjoying three mini series over the last week or so - Life, Us and Roadkill. All highly recommended, some great British talent on display.
So a lot of people seem to like drama series about the middle East like Caliphate and Fauda. Are there other similar like series that others would recommend?
I recently watched a two series production on Prime called Mossad 101, about training prospective recruits to join the Israeli equivalent of our MI6. It was worth a watch imo, but I would not personally recommend as a must watch, which I did for Caliphate a while back.
On a similar theme, the latest series of The Bureau, about French agents in the region was as usual of a very high standard. Available on Prime, forget which subscription channel though.
Finished Homeland during the week, really well done and a good ending for it which is unusual for shows like that.
Now my wife has gotten into Sons of Anarchy so I'm rewatching that for about the 4th time with her. Once they hit their stride that show becomes majestic, fantastically done and I recommend anyone to watch
Another shout for Queen's Gambit. More or less flawless. Great acting, great pace, great direction, great writing, great casting, great period detail, great cinematography, great writing...and the overall art direction deserves some kind of award. Might well be, along with Unorthodox, the best thing I've seen this year. Highly recommended.

Looming Tower is a good watch on Amazon Prime. based around the twin towers but lots going on in the middle east.

Can I have a brief summary of what it’s about please
About an orphan who becomes a world class chess player but struggles with drugs etc. It’s not the most dramatic series and there’s a lot of chess reference, but it’s acting and visuals make it well worth watching.

Fantastic
Really enjoying DNA on BBC4, which concludes on Saturday.
All highly recommended, some great British talent on display.
Read Stephen King's book, Mr Mercedes and loved it but think the series is on Amazon Prime which we don't subscribe to...

It’s about a girl who plays chess 😀
