Finished Orphan Black.
Probably the best I can say is that it at least wrapped up the story without some off the wall weirdness. At least you finally got to understand the motivations behind the whole cloning thing and who was doing what to who.
Worth watching if that interests you (or you want to see Helena being Helena one last time).
Overall a series that was a bit of a victim of its own (relative) success. fans kept wanting to see more of Tatiana and the writers prolonged the story. In retrospect a shorter/less complicated 3 series run would have left a better legacy.

@raznomore that reminds me, there was the final season of Wallander I havent seen yet.
Wallander - good then? I read the first book - it was boring as fuck, and haven't been able to convince myself to give the whole thing a second chance. But looking at the description of the plot of the TV series... it sounds like the author deigned to write a little more outlandish (interesting) plots after that first one?

FFS , this crap costs the taxpayer $30000 an episode.

Most of the way through Luke Cage - has a soundtrack that @dK would love.
The pace is a little slow, which is what I found with the second season of Daredevil but I like it. Really got that 70s Blaxploitation feel to it.
Hey mate there's not enough NZ content on air in Australia, want to buy a show called 7 days for $30000 an episode?
Its really good. -

@jegga actually I think Filthy Rich is on here late night, as well as Motorway Patrol and SCU.
Those two ex-military horis also had a run with their survival show here a while back.
Which one was that? Filthy rich is shit too, how can you have a stripper as a main character and never show her with her gear off?

@MiketheSnow Just watched the first couple eps. Looks good!
2 posts in and no mention that Jessica Biel stars. Awful.
Criminal really.
weeeeeell I hate to say this guys, it might just be the character she is playing (messed up to say the least) but she has lost a lot of her shine.
Very good show so far though -
I've been going old school and re-watching Vinnie Terranova and co in "Wiseguy" again. I watched this series when it was first aired in the late 1980s but haven't seen it since then. This was the mob show of its era and some famous actors/actoresses got their early breaks in this series (e.g. Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening).

I remember that as a great show, the one in the music industry was pretty funny too.Ever see this?

The episode from Wiseguy? I'm half way through S1 and Ep7 was about that. I swear that looked like Jeff Porcaro playing drums in the band at the end.

@Bovidae one series was set in the music business, Tim Curry, Glen Frey , Debbie Harry and Mick Fleetwood were in it.
Just checked, that's the second half of S2. I've got a while to get to that as there are 21-22 episodes per season.

Mr Mercedes.
Really good start. -
@Crucial yeah first few eps been messy, so hopefully they can line it up and get things right.
Will be interesting, I've not watched Luke Cage or Iron Fist, have watched JJ & DD, and the tone of JJ was a bit darker than DD, which I preferred, so be interesting to see where this goes.
Got 1 ep of Ozark to go, really enjoying it, bar the flashback ep (8) which bar 1 scene, seemed to be put in purely as a filler and I cant really see the point of it as they could have dealt with what they needed to in a minute or 2.
-
Shit got real in the final Ep of Ozark!
Some great characters on there too!

Been on the couch with flu so bingeing on a few things.
Luke Cage - have now finished.
Recap: I'd previously watched Jessica Jones months ago over a couple of sittings and found it generally interesting - exploring these "second tier" mutants. I made the mistake of following it with Iron Fist which flat out sucked. Daredevil was consumed fairly rapidly, and I didn't mind it, mostly for the blonde.But Luke Cage I liked despite its slow pacing and occasionally weird gangster code of who does what, when. The thing that sucked about it most was the main villain in Diamondback. Walking fucking cliche.
I probably found this the most enjoyable of the Marvel series on Netflix so far, and the timing of completion led me into...
