Watched S3 of Designated Survivor just to finish it off, and this one was by far the worst. Thankfully only 10 episodes. The change to Netflix saw the introduction of f-bombs, sex scenes etc which I would usually be cool with but after the two previous seasons with none it just felt really jarring. This season was all about the campaign, but a whole bunch of characters from the end of S2 weren't there, and weren't mentioned, they just vanished. Along with good writing and a semi-coherent plot. They killed off about the only character I liked, in a very stupid way. Also this 'independent' dude spent the whole season on the far left, people on his team did a bunch of shady assed stuff, he swayed between yelling at people and waking up his intermediate-aged daughter to have a chat in the middle of the night, but he won the election cos his Mexican-American VP pick made some good speeches. The final episode clearly set up a 4th season but it is very easy to see why it wasn't green lit.

S3 of Marcella.
I think this season was new to Netflix.
Was pretty dark season, quite intense as Marcella grapples with reality in her undercover persona in Belfast.

@mariner4life Nah, first two seasons were made by ABC. But all three are now available on Netflix.
-
@taniwharugby thanks for the heads-up! First two seasons were great so will check it out.

I started a series called Deep State, because i like Mark Strong.
Ex MI6 dude called back in for one last job type thing.
It's started off pretty well, 2 episodes in.
Does help that it has the sexy Mossad chick from Strike Back in it.
-
@mariner4life yeah first season is good. Couldn't get into the second season.

I started watching The Sopranos 10+ years ago and never went back once I moved to Australia. Just never had a service where it was on and free to air reception was shithouse. I finally sat down and watched it from start to finish over the last few weeks. Fuck what a great show. So funny, particularly the episode where Vito's lifestyle change becomes known. I was in tears with some of the reactions. Its not PC in anyway shape or form but the reactions are hilarious, specifically Tony's crew.
Anyway the last scene is epic, disappointing and fitting all rolled into one.

@taniwharugby I enjoyed the first 2 seasons but the 3rd is too far removed.

were you talking about Marcella? If so, yeah S3 could well have been a stand alone series, but still thought it was a decent watch
S1 of Dark - pretty good! GIven the main theme of the story, I did like how they did the side by side scenes to help you remember who was who!
Gotta say, I'm usually critical of seaosn finales, but this one was spot on and the final scene set up S2 perfectly!

@taniwharugby I really enjoyed S1. Viserys Targaryen is set to be a villain no matter what he's in now.

After a painful half hour arguing with the other half about what to watch we settled on this, starring Guy Pierce and a bunch of people I recognised from Neighbours back in the day. Quite entertaining so far, two episodes in. Guy is quite a funny bugger and the story is getting very intriguing. Will stay for the course I think.

Seal of approval from two Welly boys. That’s good enough for me.
there must be heaps of Guy on Guy action
