'This Country' on BBC.
Only just caught up with this in the second series. A mockumentary comedy much like The Office that has you cringing as much as laughing.
Can only take this style in small doses but it does have some funny moments.
Even the casting has a funny undertone with the two main characters being cousins in the show but siblings in real life. Set in the Cotswolds but could just as easily be Canterbury.

@MiketheSnow finished Save Me...concur, very good show.

The new Ricky Gervais stand up comedy special on Netflix is worth a look. It's called Humanity
In fact I highly recommend it
It is good. The best bit for me was the end/ encore.

Watched the second season of Jessica Jones. By far the most 'real' of the Marvel TV stuff IMO probably because she doesn't really have outrageous powers. Just strong, but still vulnerable.
Wanders in and out of good storylines and silly ones but overall I find it more watchable than DD or the others. (Luke Cage has good music though) -
Don't think I have seen it mentioned previously but started on The Sinner on Netflix. A couple of eps in and it's still good. Bill Pullman is excellent.
A whydunnit unpicking what made an outwardly 'normal' suburban mom suddenly viciously attack and kill a nearby man in public view.
I only started it because it looked to be something that had a beginning and end to the series and wasn't going to meander around hoping for a second season. Glad I did.Santa Clarita Diet comes back for a second season on Friday. Loved the first one.
Edit: did a site search and now realise I am just very late to the Sinner party. I see that a second series has been given the go ahead. JB not appearing in it, different storyline with Pullman again.

not looking good for Rick and Morty. the fuckhead bigwigs at Adult Swim havent even renewed them for another season yet so the 2 writer guys aint doing shit til/if/when that happens.
funny reading about sooks whinging that the pair should write their episodes faster... when each episode has more ideas in it than most people will have in 20 lifetimes, even during their most insane drug trips.Take your time, motherfuckers! As much as you need!
Ffs one of my all time top 10 shows.
Pickle Rick !

I have binged on Absentia over the last 3 nights.
For those that haven't seen it the series stars Stana Katic as an FBI agent, who after being declared dead in absentia for 6 years, is found alive and must reclaim her family, identity and innocence when she finds herself the prime suspect in a string of murders.
The good thing was there were enough twists and turns to keep you interested until the reveal in the final episode. Well worth watching if you like thriller/mysteries.

Thanks for that, I watched the first ep and, to me, it gave off the vibe of being one of those shows like Blindspot or Blacklist where an interesting idea gets endlessly (and boringly) milked for seasons. Maybe I wasn't in the right mood.
Will revisit. -
watched a series called Collateral, a pizza delivery fulla is shot after a delivery and then the investigation into his shooting unravels alot more.
Anyone watched the series Krypton, trailers look decent.

Got Collateral on deck.
Into the home stretch of Season 2 of Sneaky Pete (Amazon).
Better than Season 1. Loving it

Rillington Place - based on a true story of a British serial killer in the late 40's early 50's.
An almost unrecognizable Tim Roth gives a pretty creepy performance as Reg Christie.
Thought it was pretty good, if not slow moving, but only 3 eps.

-
Sneaky Pete - Excellent
Collateral - very well done
This Country - slow burner of a rural English comedy along the lines of The Detectorists. Cryring laughing scenes.
Barry - very promising opener -
I'm two episodes in to Altered Carbon. Did anyone else have a problem understanding a word that is being said? Why does everybody have to fucking mumble?

Starts really well with lots of fights/explosions etc and once I realised it didn't have a compelling story I gave up. Subtitles did help I have to admit.

i love the books, so i am going to give it a lot of rope.
And there is enough tits and violence to make up for a fair amount of short comings.
Just speak the fuck up! i turn it up to hear, and then a fight starts and the whole room shakes.
