      Watched the first two episodes of Stranger Things tonight.

      Hooked already.

      I tried it, but couldn't get into it.
      I probably just wasn't in the mood for TV, so I might give it another go.

      I would if I were you Swab.

      Literally took me 5 minutes to get hooked on this one.

      I didn't even get through half of episode 1 to be honest.

      Just started watching Quarry. Enjoying it, right up my street.

      Tried again, but there's something I'm either not getting, or it's just not my thing.

      Very possibly  :laugh:

      It's odd, because it has all the ingredients of a show I should like, but I can't get into it.

      The start of it feels like a movie I could watch. I think that the thought of a whole series of it puts me off as I have doubts that I could sit through that much of that type of thing.

      If that makes sense.

      Upto episode 4 of Quarry now and really enjoying that.

      I just get bored with it really quickly.
      Like half an hour.

      It might be one of those that I really have to be in the mood for.
      Maybe reading some reviews will help  :laugh:

      Binge watched the new season of Black Mirror over the weekend and loved it. I found the opening episode the weakest of them all, once I had finished but still good. All three seasons are on Netflix.

      Finished watching Stranger Things tonight. I really enjoyed it and it's as good as the praise it has been getting here and elsewhere. I'll definitely be watching the second season which I believe has already been filmed.

      Was thinking of watching that next, have one more season of American Horror Story to go through

      I recommend Quarry. Enjoyed it and it's nicely set up for a second season.

      Just started watching Breaking Bad again and enjoying it, maybe, a little more than I did the first time round. Finding myself partaking in binges of it as long as the first time around. Walter White is such a good character that is superbly portrayed by Bryan Cranston.

      I was watching Trailer Park Boys again last night.

      It's probably not everyones cup of tea, but it's one of the few shows in recent years that has given me a proper belly laugh.
      In fact, I'm going to do the same tonight  :laugh:

      First few seasons are amazing then I think it went down hill rapidly. Still some well funny bits though!

      True.
      A lot of good TV shows seem to run out of steam, and then fall back on the tried and tested formula, usually with poor results.

      In this case, there's the movies as well, and I think they're all pretty good, but yeah, the TV series went downhill quite a bit.

      True that.

      There's a really good piece from the guy who plays Trevor on here about what it was like working on the show:

      It's well worth a read

      I got to season 6 about half way through and just kind of stopped watching it, lost interest to be honest.

      I started watching that after reading your recommendation but I couldn't get into it, I found it a bit slow.

      So now, the missus has taken over the series we're watching and we're watching the Vampire Diaries again.  :D
