When They See Us: Netflix show about the Central Park 5, a group of black and hispanic teens convicted of rape and attempted murder in the 1980s.
This is great TV, 4 episodes of varying left, the first takes a while to get into but then it gets going and it's hard to stop bingeing.
Reminds me of a David Simon style show (The Wire, The Corner, Show Me A Hero, The Deuce etc).
This and Chernobyl might be the best TV I've seen this year.
Heard about about When they See us. Will def watch!
Still watching Animal Kingdom. Just finished series 2 and usually knock a few episodes off each week while doing cardio at gym
I really enjoyed the first couple of seasons of Animal Kingdom, but not so much the later ones although it's still very watchable.
I've had When They See Us in my netflix list for ages and just hadn't got round to watching it and two people recommended I watch it ASAP.

I signed up to Amazon Prime Video last night. A week free and then $2.99/month for up to 6 months - cheap.
I started S4 of The Man in the High Castle and will watch The Boys and Jack Ryan before The Expanse starts. I haven't had a good look at what other shows are available but that is enough at this stage.

@Nepia tough watch in a good way eh! Bewilderment, anger and shock all at the same time.
Yeah, it was really hard to watch at times - so many WTF moments. Luckily I hadn't read up on it beforehand (at least not recently) so it was all new to me.
Have "The Devil Next Door" on my list, but I like to space out my tough watch stuff ... I'll be watching something a wee bit lighter for the next week or so.

@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@Nepia well have also just started "Guilt". BBC Scotland black comedy drama.
"Two brothers seem to get away with a crime - but soon discover they can trust no-one."
Good so far.
A BBC Scotland show, sounds interesting, I wonder if that's on a streaming service in Oz?

@Bones said in TV Serieseseses:
@Nepia it wouldn't be too hard to line it up on iplayer...
Is iplayer the BBC app? I don't have it or a VPN ... be better to look at other alternatives if I'm looking at going down that route.
I'll check Netflix, Stan, SBS and ABC tonight.

Was introduced to The Brokenwood Mysteries a few months back. Watching series 6 at the moment. Great fun.
Bloody well written and Gina the pathologist has to be one of the great TV characters of all time.

Follows a tried and true formula (Midsomer, Bergerac, Morse etc) with over the top characters and situations and a very slow release of the arc of the main characters. Has made a shed load of money filling TV schedules around the world.
Used to watch it in the UK as a little piece of kiwiana and there are still the odd kiwi in jokes thrown in that would go straight over the heads of overseas audiences.
What you have to throw away immediately is any sense of reality as you recognise that the 'small town' of Brokenwood, shown as Warkworth has their Police Station in the bank at Wellsford and seems to cover a vast area from Riverhead to Dargaville according to the locations used.

@Nepia no, it's just a free VPN extension

Used to live where Midsomer was filmed (Bucks). Lost it's way now, but it was blackly comic, satirical, fun to watch and took the piss out of serious detective series like Morse etc. They'd do things like have extra murder victims killed and then completely ignored in the rest of the script/show or pun Agatha Christie novels and characters.
Brokenwood is a touch more politically-incorrect and acerbic - and I love the Kiwi in-jokes
