    Has anyone watched the Black Mirror series on Netflix - have been told it is great. Otherwise have just started Series 1 of Berlin Station now that I have some time (until Super Rugby) and this looks promising

    @Nevorian yes is very good though many did not like the first episode (took me 6 months to give it another go)

    @Nevorian I struggled with Black Mirror (didnt watch all) but I tend to with anthology series.

    Berlin Station was decent, bit slow, I think there might be a second season?

    @Rembrandt is black mirror the one that starts with them in some futuristic gym or some weird thing where they work?

    Stick with Berlin Station.

    It's a grower.

    @Bones I think that's one episode. All independent episodes based sometime in the near future normally with a bit of a scary theme. Definitely worth watching.

    first one I think was the computer geek who is ignored by his workmates proceeds to clone his workmates and then supplants them in his fantasty sci-fi series where he is the hero. I did fall asleep but what I saw was sort of entertaining and humourous. mate did say some episodes get a bit darker

    do I detect a bit of mischieviousness in the use of the word honest there.

    Unless I am not understanding your post, wasn't the first episode the one where the British PM was being blackmailed into doing something that many on the Fern have fantasised about?

    Some episodes of Black Mirror had a wow factor for me, others were a bit meh.

    Quite possible, I may well have not started at the beginning, I am capable of such things

    Black Mirror... essentially a modern/futuristic Twilight Zone... bloody good in general, but as you'd expect with the anthology sort of thing... a few misfires are inevitable for anybody's taste. Some pretty dark shit at times.

    The OA is supposedly returning to Netflix for series 2 very very soon, first series was good for anyone after a good series, alternative/ mystery /new agey/ type shenanigans.

    Someone mentioned SAS who dares wins, brilliant reality/challenge series from ch4 UK. Worth a watch. Recently read one of the instructors book (Jason Fox) about his battles with PTSD, think all of the other instructors have books of their own too,totally not something I'd usually read but very good,nice guy.

    Awaiting Handmaid's Tale S3,June? Apparently they want to go 10series, if it turns into The Walking Dead I'll be pissed off.

    Obviously GOT will have my full attention.

    Latest Netflix binges:
    Agree with all above Ted Bundy discussions,that man, that mind, awful.
    "The Magic Pill" very inspiring keto diet documentary,quite moving how it has changed people's lives and gone against the trad health authority.
    Watched Nightflyers, a few eps in not impressed at all so abandoned that.

    For those who like 'Making a murderer' and 'Ted Bundy files' I highly recommend 'innocent man' incredible true story, I'm about 2 episodes from the end

    Almost finished 3 seasons of Lilyhammer, starring Steven van Zandt (of E Street Band and Soprano's fame) as a Mafioso who takes up witness protection in Norway after being captivated by the Olympics in his younger years.

    Netflix's first foray into production apparently and puzzlingly cancelled after 3 seasons. It's fucken brilliant, highly recommend.

    Russian Doll -Netflix
    Rated 5stars but I'm beginning to wonder how these get rated...? I'd say 3/5 so far. It's taking some getting into,actually a bit annoying in the same way "Ground Hog Day" gets a bit samey but some good humour and quirky cast.

    @RLx31 not sure how far through you are, but I too found it a bit samey for the first few episodes then things got a bit more interesting. Enjoyed it overall.
