up to date with Sinner, and is intriguing.
It seems clear what is going on at that club, but maybe that's just what they want you to think is where the story is going...
Is always frustrating watching most US series where cops are involved and anything that involves a POlice Dept and the Sheriff, State POlice, FBI or whatever, there is always friction and dickwaving, they rarely seem to co-operate or be able to operate with a common goal, but then if that is how it is in RL, then may as well portray it like that.

Designated Survivor.
Kiefer has moved from 24 to mild mannered reluctant President after (almost) everyone else dies in a State of the Union address.
The acting is hammy, particularly from Kiefer. The plot is predictable until you feel the writers found themselves in a particular situation and determined the easiest way out was a Game of Thrones type surprise.
I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re a fan of a strange mixture of West Wing, 24 and Days of our Lives… -
The Expanse
Finished Season 1 and have to say I'm impressed.
Always like Thomas Jane as an actor, and he brings some real gravity to his role as washed-up-cop-with-something-to-believe-again. The others were largely unknown to me, but put in solid performances with the pilot probably my favourite.
The result is a very good murder mystery/conspiracy gig that you sometimes forget is set 200 years into the future. Some series try to concentrate too hard on the tech, but its more of a bit player in a fairly gritty universe.
Wish there was more of Mars though - the concept of the entire society being dedicated to improving their lot.
The fx and general production values maintained their high standard throughout the series, too. Very well done.
Season 2 drops here on 8th September I believe, and a third season has been commissioned.

Gave that a go and got bored halfway through to be honest. Perhaps it needs more Aliens?

I know its been mentioned a few times in here before but just started watching Peaky Blinders over the weekend.
Wife was looking for something to watch on Netflix after finishing whatever she was watching last and I said to give it a crack. Hooked!
Gonna give that a hoon considering I binged the Son all weekend and it's all over.

The limited attention span of the ranga.
We do however man up and get over illnesses in hours, not weeks. We also don't whinge about them on every social media platform known to man.

@Crucial struggling with Orphan Black, watched about 5 I think...

Think its more a case of you never get sick, right?
I mean, even bacteria won't touch a ranga.

@taniwharugby About 8 eps into season 3 and it's really good, obviously deals with the aftermath of Escobar being gone, Pena is the focus. Keeps ya anxious all the time.

Yeah. Don't except much more than a wrap up to the storyline.

finished current series of Killjoys...is ok as a time filler, not as good as the first seasons, but that happens.
Looked like they were gearing toward finishing the series completely, but maybe they got last minute funding for a new season cos it didn't 'end' as I expected it to.
Also started on Silicon Valley, think I am 4 eps in, is amusing enough, nothing special so far. I'll keep on with it as I like having some 30 min comedy stuff to watch.

New 'private detective' show called Strike from JK Rowling's 'grown up' books.
Usual silly whodunnit stuff not far removed story wise from any old Midsomer Murders etc except the production values are high, the acting is quite good and the use of real life locations around London without dressing them up makes it quite watchable.
Thank god they don't show the time it must take the lead guy to get around everywhere by public transport though.
