As a big fan of Z Nation, made by the same team, it couldn't be more different but I still enjoyed it. Completely different in tone, and devoid of any of the humour of Z Nation, it's as bleak as you like. I always like a show that kills off a character quite early on that you think is going to become a mainstay.
Probably much more realistic in terms of the "everyone for themselves" nature of humans that we're seeing signs of played out in real life.
Just finished the 2nd series of Manhunt. Not seen the first series yet but thought it was excellent and Martin Clunes was brilliant. Crazy how long he evaded capture and the missed opportunity.
Started this a couple of nights ago and now on episode 6. Some slow moments early on (episode 2) but it's brilliant.
The popularity of it is crazy, apparently the main female actress had 400k instagram followers a couple of weeks ago before its release on Netflix, now she has almost 15 million.
I still have 2/3 episodes left of the Squid game, however i dont want to finish it so in between i started and binged 9 perfect strangers (Amazonprime) , recommended, its a bit deep in spots but really good cast (Melissa Mccarthy in particular), the last episode did hit the nerves and had a tear in the eye.
Watched the first episode of Squid Game last night... Great start and looking forward to watching a couple more episodes tonight.
Also just watched the two seasons of the Boys over the last week on Amazon Prime - Have been tempted for a good while to watch it, but its one of those that I've just kept putting off - Was worth the wait and already looking forward to the release of Season Three

Solid 6/10.
Watched & enjoyed it so found the other3 on iplayer & stayed up until 1.15am to finish off the series.
Thought it was excellent with some very good acting performances by the cast too.
Looks right up my street so far.
