    The Sopranos is my all time favourite. I'm tempted to start watching Stranger Things now with all the hype about it. Game of Thrones is a modern legend.

    Game of thrones is by no metric an average series, whatever your personal opinion on it.
    It's an entirely average series.

    The first season or two was excellent drama from which it then became a dramatic sketch show of sorts, increasingly sporadic in terms of quality scenes/episodes. The source material saves it from being total farce, but the show is closer to Pirates of the Carribean than Lord of the Rings in terms of rewarding and thought-provoking film-making.

    Finished with Stranger Things...great trip back to the '80s for this 35 yo.

    This evening I finally started on Fargo season 2...was put off initially when I heard the cast and just thought it can't live up to season 1 which was incredible. S2 is pretty good so far.

    There is just so much out there. We watch a lot, we've seen most of the big ones: Game of Thrones, The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The West Wing. Some of the newer ones: Better Call Saul, Penny Dreadful, Stranger Things, The Get Down. Currently getting through Daredevil, the wife has her girly shows, Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Jane the Virgin and we're waiting for season 12 of Supernatural to start.

    But no matter what we watch, people always come out with ones that we never heard off / haven't seen yet. Impossible to see everything.

    Next on the list for me is Breaking Bad.

    I've watched it all 3 times already, but damn...I miss it!

    Rectify & Fargo are the standouts of the last couple of years for me.

    Was very underwhelmed by Stranger Things & kinda baffled it gained so much traction.
    I'd have to agree, just finished watching it the weekend and thought it was a bit...weird. Just seems a bit childish with a few cheap scares. Then again, I don't normally go for supernatural/fantasy type stuff such as LOTR, GoT etc. Don't think I'll bother with the second season.


    Somebody mentioned The Fall, now that's an excellent series. When is the next season out?


    I tend to struggle a bit to really get into TV series as once you sit down to start one, you really have to be committed from the get-go. So if I watch a few eps and I'm not really "feeling it", there's always the temptation to switch to something else given that there's just so many to pick from out there. Can never understand some people who seem to be up to date on every series, it's like where the hell do you find the time to watch everything?!

    Outcast is brilliant. It's about demonic possession.

    Not at all, I'm pretty good at guessing which new shows are ones I absolutely need to see, which are probably pretty good but in no rush to (tons of these) and which are big steaming piles of ****e that will drag on forever (the Walking Dead is the most noteworthy one currently, also anything on Showtime).

    There's also a lot of shows that get a flurry of hype that I can pretty easily tell aren't for me. I can't even be bothered to download Stranger Things, at best it's a very good homage of a type of thing I don't like very much.

    Thought it just got stupid at the end, Killing 20 people per episode and no police investigations, silly stuff

    In telly land everything is possible...even mass murder without fear of incrimination. I thought it got stupid in the middle...the whole Belfast thing. But the last series was much better. Still don't know if I liked Jax or not

    The Leftovers is possibly the best written and acted series on air at the moment. That said, it's not for everybody, it is a show about dealing with grief and as such there are no answers to the multiple questions it raises, occasionally it is harrowing to watch. One character in particular playing by (why has he not won all the Emmys?) Christopher Eccelston truly suffers the trials of Job.

    I zipped through Preacher this summer and it was quite hit and miss. It feels like a 90 minute movie that has been stretched to a 10 hour series, it storms out of the gate with a brilliant pilot and then treads a lot of water until it's season closer but there were enough standout moments along the way to ensure I give season 2 a go, and Ruth Negga and Joseph Gilguin give standout performances.

    Stranger things was the justified hit of the Summer, drenched in 80's nostalgia (but not dependent on it) it's a mashup of Spielberg's greatests hits, part E.T. part Close Encounters part Poultergiest it still manages to be it's own thing and highly entertaining to boot. It also includes some great characters and performance from it's young cast who, for once, play children that act, behave and talk like children.

    Next up for me is the highly anticipated HBO series 'Westworld' based on Michael Creighton's novel, the trailers so far suggest that this has huge potential.

    I'm way behind on TV shows.

    Watching one now and a guy that was killed in the last season is taking a shower in the opening episode of the next.

    Maybe is a dream sequence. Will post back later.

    I think you may have missed an entire season.

    Completely ridiculous! Enjoyed the first few seasons and then it went a bit mad. The last season was particularly bad
