Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency
Netflix series based on a Doug Adams character I've never read about, its quite dotty. Pretty good performances from some Pommy guy and Frodo. The actress playing the wannabe Federal agent is, in a word, gorgeous.
There are two seasons which are equally insane but for different reasons. Worth a look if you're into off-the-wall stuff.
They cancelled before the third season went ahead, and while I'm mostly Ok with that, part of me wants to see where they were going.
4 cult members out of 5 rowdy 3s.

Watched first couple eps of Altered Carbon...so far so good.
I like James Purefoy, Kinneman has bulked up (unless they use a double) come a long way since his scrawny awkaward days of The Killing (which seemed to be his break)
Few tidy females and a bit of t & a.
After a good start's it's turned pretty unwatchable at a rapid rate of knots in my opinion. Seriously boring now ( I don't give a fuck how Purefoys character 'died' ) although the t & a is still decent.

One of the downsides of the explosion of Netflix/Amazon made shows is that there gets to be a lot of promise around shows they have shelled out big money to make. The shows themselves end up looking great but aren't engaging.
One of the best streaming shows I have watched in the past year was Ozark. Quality writing, acting and performances
Totally under promoted -

Totally under promotedYeah Ozark was great. Can't wait for season 2.
AC looks great and the fight scenes and SFX are as good as anything you'll see in a movie but as I said the story and premise is boring as fuck.

I watched the first episode of AC.
Looked great, didn't engage me though and I haven't been in a hurry to watch any more.
I tend to enjoy good characters over flashiness.Have been watching some Strike Back recently but despite the drooling on here the tittie count is very low. Two little AA cups that hardly even count. Fake news.

think I am upto ep 5 of AC, still like it...isn't a must watch or cant wait to watch, but want to see where it goes, which I guess based on other comments is part of the problem?
Think TWD starts back next week...
Watched an ep of a series that started on TV 1 last week, The Brave, which is a hoorah US Special forces series...everything happened so rapidly in ep 1 kinda hard for them to give me any characters to like/dislike or build a storyline rather than an ep by ep kinda thing - no T & A

I've recorded that as the reviews were promising. I'll probably wait until after Ep2 and watch both episodes together. It helps when you can FF the ads.

@bovidae I will give it a couple more eps before I bail or commit to the whole series.
Seal Team with David Boreanaz is another of same genre that came out same sorta time, I'm a sucker for these types of series, so will give it a crack too despite average ratings and reviews.

Doesn't Boyd Crowder have one of these SEAL shows as well? Maybe it's ended if he's going to LA Confidential.

I've heard some promo about a new US medical drama about... wait for it... a young autistic surgeon who is even better than Hawkeye from Mash! maybe another take on Doogie Howser?

I've missed TWD. Weird how it took a break mid season although in the big battles lately I've been confused as fuck as to who is who....
