Just watch Given on Netflix. It's a doco about a family who travel for a year looking for surf. Really enjoyed it!

TV Shows - Animal Kingdom is good.

On Stan - Billions is good.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Just finished the last season on House of Cards - still tense and very well written but getting towards it's natural end.. ultimately I think they've been out trumped by trump. Reality is stranger than fiction at the moment.

I thought Animal Kingdom was ok, but I wouldn't rush to watch the next season. I liked the disturbed bro and the power dynamic with the mother and how she kept control. But it was a bit over the top, like a bunch of american uni students voted on what the coolest guys would be, what the coolest party would look like, what the coolest guys in the world man would do in their time off, and it's all just trying way too hard to make up for a poor script. Maybe I'm just too old, not the target market.

There's a new season of Bloodline out - much better show IMHO. Ben Mendelssohn steals the show even when he's dead. Well worth watching. Even a bit of kiting in the background sometimes as it's set more or less in Islamorada.

Something different I watched a korean zombie movie recently, Train to Busan. Would recommend, minimal boring bits, minimal subtitles, good fast zombies..

-Fargo all seasons
-true detective season 1 especially
- the fall
-Longmire
-Outlander is popular
-making a murderer
-we like the most of the British and euro crime series wallander, Shetland, lava fields etc
A lot of the Netflix produced shows 'borrow' themes from other series
-bloodline (beware) I wanted to like but it was a slow burn, ruined with the final episodes

Better Call Saul

Especially if you've watched all of Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston's book is a good read too.

Liking Masters of None at the moment.
Billions is probably my favourite show and loving Saul.

If anyone is a fan of the John Wick movies, there are plans afoot to run a TV series as a Prequel to the movies called "The Continental" after the underworld hotel in the movies.

saul is finished again? Or mid season break?

End of season I believe, 10 episodes already.

Was a late adopter of Breaking Bad, watched all seasons over a few week period then straight into Saul. Have really bad withdrawals now. Great to watch the Breaking Bad characters evolve in Saul. Boston pie sitting who would have thought...

Thanks for the tip. It was a good watch. Very much like World War Zee but entertaining never the less.

I considered buying a TV recently, but saw that I could get a new sail for the same money so gave it a miss.

Killjoys , the Expanse ,Continuum, Stranger things. All Netflix

Narcos
Outlander
Suits
House of Cards
Bates Motel
Taboo
Peaky Blinders
Making a Murderer
Breaking Bad

For me Narcos was the best.

Dedicated Survivor
Black List
Orphan Black - first few seasons were good. I thought that they were milking it a little as the seasons went on.

Yeah I quite liked Orphan Black at first but like most series it started to drag on a bit after a while.

Talking about Black that reminds me has anyone watched Black Mirror that had some good episodes.

Watched most of the first two seasons of Black mirror on DVD (the DVD didn't have complete seasons for some bizarre reason).
Great viewing, great concepts, each episode is a stand alone story holding a mirror up to modern society.

Ep 1 season 1 would kill it for a lot of viewers

Sorry I have no idea whats on sh1tflix, stun or whatever, just a rather extensive DVD collection which I can watch at any time.
