    Bit late to the party but watched episode one of Orange is the new black, was ok first episode but will need to watch more to make any judgements. recorded of Demand but didn't realise they kept doing them so need to use mates netflix for next 6 episodes then i can start watching on TV.

    Proper bingeing this lately, been watching on netflix and onto Series 2 Ep 9 now. Enjoying it, easy to watch.
    Series 3 was so bad I couldn't stomach series 4&5.
    Shame as someone did post on here saying Series 5 was the best yet, still alot to watch feels like i have watched alot already lol.

    Getting back into Vikings as I kept forgetting catch up. Loving Series 5 so far, about half way through now.

    The giant big black cat in Catford featured in Strike last night. Never quite worked out why!

    Cos they were in Catford? Maybe?

    If you are ok with subtitles there is a Spanish female prison drama available on All 4 called "Locked Up", which in my opinion is better than OITNB.

    Just finished off the series of Laudermilk on Amazon. Passed me by until now.

    It's a series about a drink and drugs counsellor set in Seattle. Really enjoyed the development of each of the characters in the group and his relationship with those close to him. Difficult to pigeonhole it as pure comedy but I loved his caustic/cynical approach to life and the interaction between the group members.

    Sorry if already mentioned way back but I’ve just discovered STILL GAME. I don’t know how I’ve not heard of it. Very funny.

    Cheers for mentioning this one @Acab

    Being of a Scottish persuasion I can’t heartily recommend this. Now on season 8 and they are all on net flicks. It’s a follow on from a much earlier sketch series called Chewin The Fat which is also on net flicks. Although a bit dated, it is equally hilarious.

    Finished Vikings S5 now, quality. Lagertha is 100% dream woman

    Waiting for the new series of Westworld like a kid waiting for Santa Claus to empty his sack.

    One Strange Rock on Nat Geo. Some amazing pictures of Earth from both on and add planet.

    Great insight from some renowned astronauts and is still excellent despite Will Smith narrating.

    Well worth a watch.

    Anyone watching Come Home with christopher ecclestone?
    Finding it rather lacklustre and glad only got the 3rd episode to go.

    Just caught up with Kiss Me First...Very kids orientated what with computer graphics and very loud five mins set in a club. But actually enjoyed not least because a/ rather engaging characters and b/ it appears to be set in Greenwich/Woolwich.

    Really enjoying Before we Die which concludes next week on Channel 4. On Netflix would recommend the Icelandic series Border Town, based close to St Petersburg. A good watch.

    Me too. Big twist & cliffhanger at the end this week.

    I thought I wasn't going to like it but had me in fits from the start. Loved the bit about dinosaurs extinction due to going hungry (backdrop of dino skeleton from Natural History Museum) and the chalk drawings being the second offensive Hill after Benny......

    Quite enjoying it. Think his new women is a right nutter & he should have binned her as soon as his kids disapproved. Loved his sons attitude. I thought the "twist" was going to be about their 3rd child (did Ecclestone sabotage their birth control ??) and not the eldest daughter.

    I reckon he lied about a vasectomy for the 3rd kid.

    I binge-watched an NBC series called This Is Us and really loved it. It is one of the best TV series I have ever watched. Reminds me a little of Friday Night Lights and Parenthood. Highly recommended if you like those two shows.

    Yep - we loved this series.
    Gonna binge watch the 2nd series soon.

    Diane Morgan is brilliant and with the writing of Charlie Brooker behind her it was always going to be a winner in my household.

    I expect she'll end up on the list of CL least favourite comediennes shortly if she's not there already though...

    Just seen the last (or so I thought) episode of Save Me. Why the f**k end it like that ?? No, Mr James, we all don't want to dick around for 9 months wilst you decide how a second series is going to work out. I don't recall too many Shakespear plays ending with "I'm not going to tell you how it ends & so tune in again at xmas to find out". Just write a script & end it.

    Did anyone on here watch Westworld when it was out? I thought it was brilliant, second season has been announced for late April (22nd?). Counting down the days.

    I really enjoyed that and have high hopes for the second series. Of course, if the budget's been cut and they don't get the same quality of actors it will probably not be as good so let's hope the studio stumps up.

    I think they were pushing it trying to get the 3rd book into just 2 episodes.

    It's the most complex book so I'm not surprised they struggled.

    Icelandic Border Town close to St Petersburg? Back in the days of Pangea maybe.

    Just catching up with This Country. Missed the first series. I think I like it. It’s a bit of a slow burner. Has the same sort of feel as Detectorists but not as good. The Steam Fair episode with the birthday angle was very clever.

    I think I’d rather they just left it with the first series.

    I like it when stuff ends with unanswered questions. We don’t always need to see stuff neatly explained and tied with a big bow surely?

    I think these are the best two comedy series of recent times. This Country has excellent script and characters - it really gets over the dead end nature of their lives but finds comedy within it. Daisy and Charlie Cooper who wrote and star in it have a real talent for dialogue.

    The program has really grown on me and I've loved the second series as much as the first.
