A cast iron, 100% classic. Every series is good and it doesn't run out of steam, superb TV up there with the very best.
I've done 3 series in about 5 days. Like a book you can't put down...
On the basis of these recommendations, I bought all 5 series on dvd, I am onto disc 5 of series one, but I have motherfuckin awful difficulty trying to understand what the drug dealers are actully saying lol.
I only tried the first 10 minutes without subtitles...

Fans of the terminally weird should check out "Archive 81" on NutFux. I'm 4 episodes in, and the closest I can come to a description is "the bastard child of Berberian Sound Studio, Rosemary's Baby, and one of Jordan Peele's nightmares."

Not normally my cup of tea as I despise Ricky Gervais, but Afterlife on Netflix is worth a bash. We're very sensitive to anything cancer related due to a couple of losses following prolonged illnesses, but against the odds we both like it.

Not for anyone who doesn't like use of the other C word.

After reading all the ‘Reacher’ novels at last an actor that resembles the main man!
Perhaps a little too muscle bound in my mind, but such a great casting change from the Tom Cruise attempt!
Brilliant - although I will have to to reread “ Killing floor” just to remind myself of what’s what!

I'm currently enjoying a documentary series on Netflix called Bad Sport. It's about various sporting scandals over the years featuring different sports, ranging from basketball, indie car racing, ice skating to Italian football. The lengths some people will go to to win or make money knows no bounds seemingly.

I've got one episode left of Star Trek: Discovery series 4, and the good news is the show's been picked up for a fifth series.

They've also almost finished shooting Picard, series 3, which will be the final series.
