The Night Of - also watched first two parts. Very promising.
Vice Principals - watched pilot. Some funny bits. Worth checking out.
Peaky Blinders - Haven't seen season 3. Worth watching the first two seasons for costume design alone.
The Path - A hulu original. Not too bad. Has some serious scientology cult inspirations.
Silicon Valley - pretty hilarious. Worth watching even though sometimes it will drive you crazy. -
Giles and I watched episodes 3 to 8 of STRANGER THINGS yesterday - it's ages since we had a TV watching marathon, but the weather was crap and we were tired and it was GREAT!

John Turturro is good. And I see this is another show borrowed, stolen ripped off from the Brits. I have to see the original. One of the good points of the web is I can find the original series.
I like Peaky too-and agree about costume design.
My grandfather served in the AEF in the Great War ,his brother in the East Lancs. They had interesting attitudes and would answer questions in a straightforward way no matter what the subject, unlike most of the other adults in my childhood. -
I like Turturro, but originally the part was meant to go to Jimmy (Gandolfini)… His unexpected death quite got in the way of him performing, so they asked Johnny... This is also why James is mentioned as a producer on the opening credits...
Interesting @Seul . I saw his credit and wondered how he produced…from the grave.

Just watched the finale for Season 3 of The Wire.
Damn.
I mean, seriously, damn.
-
Currently on my third re watch of The Wire, amazing still.
Also rewatching Battlestar Galactica, the best pure Sci Fi show ever made.
I treat TV shows like books, there are certain ones I will revisit time after time.
-
Season 2 of the wire is my favourite ever series
-
I thought Season 3 was better, personally. All three I've seen so far have been great, just in different ways.
It's about time I revisited BSG; man, I love that show.
-
Yeah 3 is great too. Just something about the story of the docks and the guys there struggling to make a
Living that makes series
2 stand out more, for me anyway.I need a new series to watch, watching orange is the new black with the Mrs and it really doesn't do much for me.

Mr Robot is good, Stranger Things is great, and I'm about to start watching The Night Of…

Season 2 is the best in my view too.Sparrows Point, the enormous steelworks shown on one of the shows is gone, a giant parking lot. ArcelorMittal wanted to buy it but the deal was deemed a monopoly so some shady Russians snapped itup and filed for bankruptcy the whole mess reeks of cronyism and in the meantime 3,000 Steelworkers join their brother Longshoreman on the unemployment line-there's always a job to be had at walmart. The US really pisses me off. Like we're all supposed to have service jobs that pay shit while our masters continue the dismantling of our industrial base. Capitalism as cancer.
You might like The Night Of… but since it's a remake of a Brit show you may already have seen it with different accents...
