@john-folan Absolutely. I am an OLD SCHOOL X-men fan so thought this would be a crap rip off. I was also getting fed up with all the cookie cutter marvel films. But this series is its own thing and really good! Much more adult/dark/real person aspect to it.

Is it true to the comic? Did the comic come first?

I read the other day author is the lead singer from My Chemical Romance

@richard-latimer 100% stick with it, there are plot twists and character twists.

It’s excellent isn’t it? Can’t wait for the next series. Bought the comic as well.

Gotta say Umbrella Academy was great, really didn't think I would like it for first few episodes but the storyline and characters got really interesting. Refreshingly different take on superhero marvel type stuff. 2nd season to start in July I think.

Watched 2nd espisode last night and it seems worth plugging away.

@ryan-carruthers breaking bad is great when you need some motivation such a wild west storyline!

[Ryan]

@richard-latimer im the same hence being late to the party with line of duty.

Line of Duty is amazing though. But, what makes it so good in my opinion is how decidely unbritish it is. Shootouts on the street, murder in broad daylight. Spooks was the same.

Also Luther.

I really like the last kingdom.
It’s been around a few years now but a new series came out in March.

During lockdown I’ve watched the lot from the start.

I love my British crime dramas and detectives for some reason I do t know why I just can’t seem to get i retested in anything from US or Australia.

Maybe I can’t not relate to them as much as the British dramas. Anyone else find this?

Yep I can only cope with so much foreign stuff. Then I need to watch some English. Weird hey?

Not me. Majority of what I watch is from U.S. Not all but most.

[Ryan]

There's some decent stuff on Disney too!

@richard-latimer funnily enough the episodes without the extreme supernatural elements are probably the best ones

Agreed

@martin-futter yeah I watched the last 2 seasons of X-Files. Couple of good episodes but on the whole massively disappointed.

[A Former User]

@martin-futter haha xfiles is brutal now i tried watching it tutha day. So naff

[Martin]

One thing is for sure Power Rangers and X-Files, two of my favourite shows as a kid have aged horrifically!

I know I'm probably late to the party with this but Ozark? I was told about it by a mate so I started watching it and its much better than I thought

yeah i think it's not quite breaking bad so a lot of people didn't give it a good look but it's still very good
