Almost finished Mr Robot S3 and after a shaky start I've really, really, enjoyed it.

Loved the first season, the second season was terrible and lost the plot IMHO. Is it worth sticking with or is it more of the same?

Personally I'm glad I stuck with it as S3 ties in a lot of stuff that happened in S2

Watched it.
Hmmm, as bleak as ever but I'm thinking not quite as good as the original run. Still, I shall be watching parts 2 and 3 of course.

Loved it, gloriously dark and shocking in parts but much more like the first two series, wasn’t a fan of series 3, I think they tried to do something a bit different but it didn’t work. Last night’s return felt more like the original to me and I loved the twist with Pauline and nice to see Mr Chinnery is still as accident prone.

Great stuff! Hope the remaining 2 parts are as good.

I really did like Tubbs on the mobile phone.

I don't really have time for TV. My wife watches her soaps in the early evening, so I tend to go with the dog for a walk. After that, about an hour, before I go to bed. I don't have time to watch TV in the morning, before I go to work.

At the weekend, we don't really have much time for TV. When we do watch something, we just watch what comes, I don't currently have any series that I watch.

What's your excuse then? You've been out of work (congrats btw) and should've racked up loads of TV! ;)

Personally, I don't think there hasn't been much to talk about recently. I have gotten halfway through The Mentalist, after ignoring it during broadcast. I also tried Breaking Bad again but it has remained [LIFTED], IMO, after sitting through half of the first season.

The only two new shows I've seen recently are The Orville (sh!te), and Star Trek: Discovery (meh).

I am watching the Expanse again - gearing up for season three later this year.

I spent 5 months as a professional TV watcher and have seen and caught up with so much.

One of the best series I saw was 'Please Like Me' on Prime. It's a very quirky, funny and original show written by and staring an Australian comedian. The show tackles all kinds of taboo subjects, such as mental health, in such a heartfelt way you can't help but love it.

Not sure if you lot would appreciate it but give it a try and if you don't like it turn it off and watch something else :)

I know I'm late to the party but I highly recommend

This is England 86
This is England 88
This is England 90

If you don't cry you need your emotions testing

You lot need a proper telling off

I can't find Tin Star mentioned anywhere on this forum.

Add it to your watch lists. It's right up there with Ozark as one of the best TV series of last year

It's available on Sky Go as a box set, if you have SkyTV.
It's a bloody good watch.
Tim Roth, as ever, does not disappoint.
