Is there anywhere this is listed and not in the form of a GIF?
Just the 200 shows I've watched, ball ache to copy paste since lots of other formatted text comes with it.

I never watch a show below 7.0 IMDB rating though, if it has less than 7.5 it better have a storyline that suits me like a glove.

Well I thought gifs stopped when you tap them like they usually do on twitter. Seems they don't.
It actually speaks to me. I have a last name that starts with ‘W,’ so I am already spiteful towards & mistrusting of anything / anyone whose name begins with a letter towards the beginning of the alphabet.

I’ve just finished “See” and would recommend it - The second season has just finished being filmed.
To watch it you need Disney or a visit to the darker corners of the Interweb

Just started on Kim's Convenience and about half way through the first season. Pretty light stuff so far but thoroughly charming.

Not sure of Imbd, but surely it has to be around 9, nine and a half.

Started Justified. Flying through it, great show.
I'm rewatching this. In season 4 currently.

Really enjoyed it first time round. Only criticism I would have is that the first season is a little "scattered", still enjoyed it. Really takes off in season two for me.

Guess this is the problem with most shows. Until they get a slot where it becomes regular and more seasons commissioned it must be difficult developing story lines.

It can go the other way too I suppose. Where season one is good but then the story lines are meh

It manages to be goofy, dark, and action-packed at the same time, which is rare. It doesn’t take itself too seriously.

And there’s few places better suited to a crime drama than the American South or Appalachian hill country, in my humble opinion.

There was another series called The Outsiders. Set in the appalachian mountains of kentucky. Watched a few episodes and was getting into it. They cancelled it after 2 seasons. I didn't manage to watch all of it as some personal circumstances came up. Enjoyed what I watched but never knew why it was cancelled.

Only remembered it now because of what you wrote in your post, had to look it up as I'd forgotten the name

its amazing how much all the detective dramas have been influenced by nordic noirs since The Killing and The Bridge

I started watching Wallander last night which was 2005 and it feels so dated its like watching Morse or something

I loved Morse at the time but I'd guess that it hasn't aged that well.

Watched the first episode of Cosmos last night. I’ve been missing out. Felt like I’d been given morphine and then taken on a wonderful relaxing journey of knowledge.

On season 5 of Justified. Holy shit, who thought it would be a good idea to have Michael Rapaport do a southern accent? He is awful at it.

Netflix has been screaming at me for weeks to watch Itaewon Class. Finally caved in to the pressure. Sped through the entire thing in about a week.

Main character is really annoying. Slightly bizarre portions of the storyline, but it was otherwise a very entertaining show to watch.

Looking forward to season 2, if there is one forthcoming.

There’s a new season of Love, Death & Robots coming out on Friday if anyone is interested. The first season had some good episodes.

Wibble mentioned it ages ago, I watched it on his recommendation and really liked it. Give it a go.
thanks to whoever recommended Mr Inbetween

it's absolutely amazing
Saw this and downloaded it this morning.
What a gem of a series! Absolutely love it. And I'm not one for Australian accent series :lol: But I'm hooked. Wish there was more seasons and longer episodes, but I think that is also want makes it so awesome, just when you deep into it, the episode finishes :lol:

Would definitely recommend it.

New series later this month I believe - 3rd and final one. Lots of the filming is done locally to me so you see places you recognise all the time.

And Rake is another brilliant Aussie drama albeit a comedy drama.

Godfather of Harlem is excellent.

Forest Whitaker as crime boss Bumpy Johnson in 1960s New York. Great cast, well written, well acted, good soundtrack from the creators of Narcos.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt8080122/

Season 2 just started back on Irish TV.
I gave up on it to be honest

It all felt a bit tired to me

Wasn't convinced by Whittaker in that role at all, I think they miscast him

Just finished season 2. Cannot overstate how much I enjoyed that 2 day binge, could have done it sooner but want the enjoyment to last a bit longer :lol:
Can't wait for the 3rd. It being the final one is in sync with how I've come to see it: short, impactful and leaves you wanting more, in a good way!
Hate series that should have ended looong ago but they just don't know when to call it quits.

I always enjoy seeing a movie (never happened with a series before) when I can instantly say, he that is "here" or "there". Gives another enjoyment to the experience :)

Finished Season 1 of Gomorrah and it's a quality show. Kept improving as the season went on.

One thing that annoyed me:
Ciro not shooting Genny in the head is the kind of convenient plot holes that I hate. Ciro not double checking if Genny was breathing or not is so out of character with what Ciro would actually do. Amateur move just to move the plot along.

Spoiler that merda!

I agree but it’s worth it for the 2nd season. Genny’s transformation is one of the best I’ve seen in a show and he just gets better.

Went from the character I hated the most to the one I wanted the most screen time for. His gap yah in South America really helped him grow.
