All caught up to the middle of season 4 of Vikings. Now I must go week by week. Vikings is like a more historically accurate Game of Thrones.

I really enjoyed FNL, too, and I can't stand American football.

Imo FNL dips in quality in seasons 2 and 3 but comes back hard in season 4 and stays pretty bloody good till the end.

So if you find yourself getting bored by a particular story arc, stick with it anyway and you'll be glad you did.

Just finished Jessica Jones.

Slow to start, but got very, very good as it gathered pace. David Tennant was superb.

Normally hate superhero-type stuff but this puts an interesting slant on the topic

Just finished all three seasons of Orphan Black.

Great show, and refreshingly different from US productions.

We finished it a couple of weeks back. It got horribly complex during season three. I think they started to make it up as they went along.

Love that series. Kyle Chandler is in the brooding Bloodline and Connie stars in Nashville, which I love.

Just watched Bosch season 2. Superb. Compelling.

Watched Line Of Duty season 2. Enthralling.

Now watching Broadchurch having missed it first time around. Reminds me of The Killing, with one suspect after another being dangled before us. No spoilers please.

It's not really binge watching, but commute watching (2 episodes per work day), but I started watching Treme today

Whilst it initially looked as though I loved everything about the show, I was a bit underwhelmed by Treme in the end. Like a Mississippi riverboat cruise, it seemed content to chug along without ever really seeming to pick up steam or go anywhere.

FWIW, am halfway through one of my periodic UK£8 per month netflix splurges and have watched the most recent series of House of Cards (pretty good), Jessica Jones (can't stand big-budget type superhero stuff, but this had a very down to earth premise and was very, very good), Narcos (excellent despite the shitty, often nigh-impossible to rad subtitles) and now How to Get Away with Murder (bit meh really, but the missus likes it). Will probably end the month with S1 of Daredevil before catching up with Better Call Saul.

Lucky Man with James Nesbitt. Not usually a fan of his, but he's excellent in the lead role. Series is far better than I thought it would be

Watched all of season 1 of 'The Guild' last night -- all ten 4-minute episodes. Pretty funny, although I've never gamed so not all the gags work for me and it's distracting having each episode end just when you think the plot is about to take off.

I'm up to date with Season Four. Despite having watched every episode, I'm almost completely lost. It isn't that I can't spot one clone from another, because I can, it's the scientific genome rated mumbo jumbo and the different organisations with their different agendas. I can't believe anyone understands it, even the writers.
