    That is an interesting show. I think I've only seen the first 2 seasons. Some of them get pretty dark, and it can be downright fascinating to watch.

    That was rough, yeah...

    Actually found that episode to be rather disturbing, even though some people have said it was laughable/cringe-worthy.

    Has anyone seen the Dirk Gently series on BBC America? Season two just started and I'm thinking of watching.

    The premise of the show: "set in 1977 — in the early days of criminal psychology and criminal profiling at the FBI — Mindhunter revolves around FBI agents Holden Ford and Bill Tench, who interview imprisoned serial killers in order to understand how such criminals think and [then] apply this knowledge to solving ongoing cases." (Wikipedia)

    I'm binge watching the shit out of this show! It's really good.

    There's a certain style of English humor that just pushes the wrong buttons with me. I just end up wanting to punch a main character in the mouth.

    I'll have to add Mindhunter to my list...

    Really been into the 3rd season of Narcos! I wasn't sure how it would be since the series was basically going beyond it's original premise, but really loving it!

    It has less the feel of a documentary and more the feel of a drama. There is still narration but less real footage. It's about the Cali cartel who filled the void left by the Medellin cartel after the demise of Escobar. I am hoping there will be a 4th season. I still have 2 episodes to watch so not sure if they'll wrap everything up or not.

    Regarding Narcos, a Netflix site selection scout was murdered in Mexico, the locale for the next season. Apparently, the Narcos mistook him for a govt. Agent conducting surveillance. These people are feral animals.

    Or they knew what he/she was there for and just didn't want Netflix there to cast more attention their way. That's even scarier.

    Yeah, I guess they don’t want anyone observing the goings on down there.

    I think it's too late. And now everyone knows they operate in that area (if they didn't already).

    Agreed.

    Just finished episode 3 last night.

    This show is based on the true crime book Mindhunter John Douglas (agent Holden in the series) which I read in the 90s

    Got that one queued for after I finish Narcos. My girlfriend and I just started on Ozark. First episode was very good! Nice departure for Bateman, an actor I have always liked...

    AD was an extremely funny series. Even that last season ended up pretty good, though not as strong as the first three. But if you like Arnett, you have to watch Bojack Horseman. Brilliant stuff! Flaked left me a little indifferent...

    I really liked Ozark. Bateman does a great job, and I loved the "tone" of it.

    Watching The Deuce right now and it's not bad at all.

    Funny, Hal recommended Santa Clara Diet, and Den and I were all set to watch. Swear to god, we had just settled in the living room with a pizza supper, and started to watch...within 5 minutes we get that disgusting puke scene...and because we were eating...we switched to something else. We'l get back to it, when the time is right. lol

    Just want to repeat a rec I made a while back. If you're sensitive, and like really heart warming comedy drama that will make you howl and bawl in the same show....please check out "Derek". We had an old friend over from outta town for the weekend, so we binged the entire series ...watching it a second time was even better. Just give it a chance. Ricky Gervais plays one of the most lovable characters in tv series history. And there are so many subtle life lessons and ...it's just a simple, but wonderful show. Can't speak highly enough about it.

    I probably should have warned you that you shouldn't eat while watching this show. It is a zombie show, after all. But I assumed (mistakenly?) you'd look it up to see what the premise is.

    But anyway, Barrymore & Olyphant are both really funny in it, especially Drew.

    I think in my original post hyping SC Diet I did give a short plot synopsis, but I don't go back & read 10 pages of a thread either. I'm eagerly awaiting season 2!

    Yeah they are great, but the neighbor kid with the crush on their daughter is hilarious. I laughed pretty much every time that kid opened his mouth Plays an awkward geek perfectly.
