Apologies if it's already been mentioned but I really enjoyed both series of Mr Robot.

Bosch is fantastic, I loved it and binged both seasons in a fortnight.

Whatever happened to sneaky pete, that was good.
Worth a watch, this one, I thought it was brilliant! Only the pilot available so far, but the rest are coming out on the 13th January.

Been mentioned a few times on this thread, but we binge watched 'Red Oaks' over the last couple of days. Excellent '80s soundtrack, sharply written, and some poignant moments too. Really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed Red Oaks, first season more so that second, but a nice retro spot of amusement nonetheless.

For those that didn't catch it first time around, I've just downloaded the whole of Deutschland 83 for £6. Fabulous.
Not sure how to break this to you, so I'll just come out with it...

It's on 4od for free http://www.channel4.com/programmes/deutschland-83/...


Suggestion, is it worth starting a 'what gems have you found?' thread for the iPlayer/4od etc catchup player box sets?

Third'.. I was impressed that they told their story without stretching it out to will they / won't they make a second season.

So much stuff drags on way too long these days

Yup, and Billy Bob Thornton was fantastic. If you haven't seen it, Fargo is epic, he's in the 1st season.

Tempted by Goliath but heard the last episode ruins the whole thing.

Thanks for that, it does look good. It's handy that it is coming out soon after we finished s1, no 12 month wait between!

Just watched this - really good. I was expecting a twist at the end but not that one. Give it a go, it's a slow burn, but a really really tense scene in the middle with 'Hank' from Breaking Bad.

Just watched this, very good and thanks for the recommendation! It would've been better if I hadn't read your slightly spoilery post rednotdead, which I've amended above... Any chance of amending your original post for the benefit of future thread readers?

I'm really enjoying Bosch. Got into it right away after the first episode.

One thing that's slightly annoying: It's as though his watch is the star of the show instead of him. Every single shot it's right there in your face no matter what he's doing. Once you've noticed it you can't stop noticing it! It's at the forefront of every camera angle and his shirt sleeves are always rolled up so it's on display.

Every episode is like an hour long Rolex advert!
