I'm watching a Netflix show called Criminal... actually, it's four shows, one for Spain, one for France, one for UK and one for Germany. Three episodes for each country. I didn't like the French one, but the British and the German episodes are awesome. The first from UK is with David Tennant, who is terrific in his role (I miiiiight be a little subjective here because I have a crush on him) (But no, seriously, his performance is amazing). And the third episode from Germany, I am still shocked by that.
It's not a violent show, it happens inside a police station and all you see is the interrogatory to a supposed criminal. The cops and the criminal talk until the criminal confesses (or not). It's not only about the case, but also about the dialogue and the interaction. It's really good.

This is definitely on my list. David Tennant and Hayley Atwell? I’m there.

Yep, this is in my list to check out. I'm sad the French one isn't good though - I like that cast.

@Bennnnn - this looks like a fictionalized version of The Confession Tapes. I know you watched that as well.

Yes I've been meaning to watch it since it came out, but I just haven't done it yet. Looking forward to it though.
 
Really looking forward to S4 of Mr. Robot which starts on the 4th. Those of you who dropped off after S1 should really, really catch up before the final season of one of the most visionary shows television has ever handed us.

Also, Succession S2 probably my favorite thing I've watched all year.
 
@Waitressboy and others that like to torture yourselves - I started 13 Reasons Why - season 3. 3 episodes in. It's really not good. And also, is one of the main story lines really them babysitting Tyler? I should stop. But I'm compelled to finish it for some reason.

Oh @Teeeee are you ok? I mean, do you feel fine? Why would you do that?
Yes, one of the storylines is the guys babysitting Tyler, because that would lead to the (stupid, incredibly stupid, so fucking stupid it's almost aggresive) ending, and an emotional coda about pictures and shit that nobody really gives a fuck.
Just watch Criminal. Or Family Guy. Or videos of dogs on Youtube. Or the ceiling.
 
My wife and I are watching Rescue Me (2nd go around for me, 1st re-watch since it last aired in 2011). They tackle a lot of difficult topics, albeit through a somewhat empathetic anti-hero male gaze. Alcoholism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, misogyny.

I'll save the analysis of whether it’s handled in an appropriate way that was (is) a reflection of our culture today -- which is at times cringeworthy (though it feels like it holds up better than Entourage, which both saw a 2004-11 run). ANYWAYS, back to my main reason for dropping here -- which was one of the characters having a Madvillain sticker in his locker. Someone on set was a fan.

I know we had a whole thread devoted to it on the old forum but there are a lot of rumblings the last few days about a 4th (and potentially 5th) season of Twin Peaks.

I'm really liking Gemstones so far. And Edi Patterson is so great. She has so many subtle, funny little nuances and her physical comedy is great too.

I need to give this show a try. Everyone seems to dig it. Has the season ended yet? It seems like a show I could binge in a weekend.
