Roadies: Following a band on their tour of the USA. There is only 1 season.

Roadies is on Prime? Roadies was great! Well worth a watch.

Outlander is on there too, S01 E05 is particularly good cos I'm in it!

Just noticed that Tales From The Loop starts today on a Prime. Been looking forward to that for ages.

I thought Roadies was great, shame it was cancelled.

We have Netflix. My favourite has probably been A Series Of Unfortunate Events, mainly because the acting is superb, particularly from Neil Patrick Harris.

Also:
Dark
Narcos
Better Call Saul
The 3%
Dirk Gently
Black Mirror
Lost In Space
The OA
The Umbrella Academy
Ascension
The Expanse - now transferred to Prime I think.

I don't watch many films, but I did like The Platform (El Hoyo). Quite bleak.

Some for Freeview Channel 4 under 'Walter' foreign series

The Truth Will Out - top notch Scandi.

Guardian of the Castle - Croatian - Yugoslav secret service in the late 70s - some great camera shots - almost  Shakespearean grim tragedy - it ain't perfect but unusual. 4 episodes only.

Magnifica 70 - Brazilian - 70s when Brazil was under military dictatorship (even worse than Bolsanarseole). State film censor finds himself drawn to making movies,  soft porn to be precise - almost a soap but unique, clever and cunningly plotted.

They've got 12 Monkeys on Film 4 now too, very appropriate.

'Homeland'. Shakey-cam aside, I think it's pretty good, however I have to question whether the CIA would actually employ a bi-polar, neurotic train-wreck like Carrie Matheson as a desk clerk, never mind a field officer.

'Better Call Saul' - Love it. The camera work, atmosphere, the air of menace, sub plots, and the locations.

Looking forward to the latest 'Ozark' but the wife has decided she doesn't like it, which could be an issue as we're cooped up at home.

Started watching 'Identity Thief' with Mellissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman. I'll save you the trouble; it's shite.

'Sinner' was very good. Bill Pulman played that well.

'The Code' was superb. Aussie conspiracy thing, well worth a watch. On Netflix, I think.

Dark - great soundtrack and despite what you might think after the first 20min, it's not a poor man's Stranger Things.

Same here, I've always been intrigued by the stunning artwork in the original semi-graphic novels by Simon Stalenhag so am excited to see how the series pans out.

Just watched Pillars of the Earth on My5, a cracking adaptation of Ken Follett’s book. Ian MacShane is a naughty mediaeval bishop, Eddie Redmayne is the hero. The sequel is on there too. 

Mrs B likes Outlander and Discovery of Witches on Now.

Ozark > Breaking Bad

Just finishing the most recent series (three)..... episode nine was one of the most heart wrenching things I’ve seen.

Grounds for divorce that Doggy! Ozark is excellent, though I'm saving S3 for when I've finished binging the new series of Money Heist.

guitars4you

Just started on The Sopranos

If you have not seen it then watch The Wire - I've seen the whole thing twice - IMO the best drama

Just about finished season 4 of Ozark - Good if not excellent

DrJazzTap

The syfy channel have just uploaded all of the Battlestar Gallatica remake onto the website.

Outside bets on
Lodge 49 - Thomas Pynchon lite.
Hap and Leonard - retro buddy romp.
Barry - hit man/LA satire.
Futureman - time travel comedy thing
Documentary now! - fake documentaries, hit and miss but when it's good it's good.

I think there all on Amazon prime.

Netflix have just added community back on its service. 

By far the funniest show I have ever watched.

I think they have all been mentioned further up the thread and none of them are exactly new but we've been enjoying Line of Duty, The Good Place, Stranger Things, Suits and Sex Education on Netflix.

Ozark. What a show... Just finished it last night. 
Will watch Money Heist new season.Its a dubbed dodgy looking program but i am hooked.

The best thing I've ever seen on TV is Godless it might still be on Netflix?

I started watching Taskmaster based on the  recommendations in here.

Absolutely brilliant.
