I watched the last episode of line of duty and thought that was good. Undercover has finally grabbed by attention. I quite like some of the investigative programmes Stacey Dooley does. However I can't wait for the next series of people just do nothing.
Currently watching 'Live Up To Your Name', a Korean drama combining three favourite Korean genres: time-travel, hospitals and rom-com. http://asianwiki.com/Live_Up_To_Your_Name
I've got to episode 12 which is a good sign, as Korean dramas are normally 16 episodes but tend to run out of steam halfway through.
I'm enjoying Handmaid's Tale on SBS at the moment. For those who want to watch the series, Google 'sbs on demand' and make sure your VPN is working as if you are dinky-di aussies.
The 4th season of Bojack Horseman has been on Netflix for the last week or so. Highly recommend, you can get through a season in an evening and it's funny and dark and awesome.
Just got through Ozark...yeah, enjoyed it a lot and definitely worth a look, but Breaking Bad was so much better. For one thing, Vince Gilligan (and Bryan Cranston) can do comedy while doing crime/thriller.
Watched The Handmaids Tale assiduously and found it an engaging, thought-provoking, well-acted drama.
Really liked Elisabeth Moss and looked forward to Top of the Lake - christ that was awful! I think it was possibly trying to be serious but came over as more of a spoof in which I expected Frank Drebin to appear at any moment. The storyline, production, dialogue and (male) acting were dreadful - the final insult you might say?
Strike on BBC was pretty good, think the second series is on now as well.
Also Liar on ITV is worth a watch
Been watching Liar too and Rellick on BBC1. Don't know what to make of the latter with all the time re-winding etc, maybe I'm not clever enough to understand what telling the story in this way actually achieves? As for Liar, I think the bloke done it. Far too controversial for it to be the other way round IMO. I'd be surprised.

I dont think the bloke did it, Not Hornblowers style
Currently watching Designated Survivor on Netflix with Kiefer Sutherland. It's ok, but for an amusing take on dysfunction in Washington DC, BrainDead with Tony Shalhoub and Mary Elizabeth Winstead was much better (it's caused by space ants eating their brains - not a spoiler, it's in the first episode).

I find it hard to watch Designated Survivor and separate it from 24. Keep expecting the President to put a gun to someone's head and start torturing them for information.
The Deuce as mentioned.
Re-watch The Wire for the Nth time.
The Expanse for people who like sci-fi (kind of like a mix of BSG, GOT, and Babylon5 - 2nd season improves on the first quite a bit) (<Edit> agree with Phildo above on this one)

Yeah, he is a bit of a wuss in this one. It's ok, I'm up to ep 8 and it's keeping me hanging on, but not necessarily rivetted.
My favourite Kiefer Sutherland moment...his voice-over on the Simpsons credits where he is consigning all cast members to " Front Line Infantry!" until he gets to his own name which draws the designation "Coast Guard!"
all I can say is what a load of old sh1t , its brilliant if you insomnia though
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Just watched the first episode of The Deuce and it's dark and depressing in a Banshee way, but well acted and looks prominsing. up to the usual NBO/ Sky Atlantic standards set so far.

The names involved put me off, especially James Franco.
I watch True Detective again, this time with the wife. Superb series. I also started watching Breaking bad but it hasnt really got me hooked like TD OR Stranger Things...

Yeah, The Deuce looks blinding so far. Winding up the Mrs pointing out bods who were in the wire. ''He's in the Wire, he's in The Wire and him.''
