I finished watching Seven Seconds tonight. Whoa. I didn't see that coming. Can discuss it later, I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

I've been into the BBC series as of late. I've really liked Luther and Sherlock. Long episodes with only a few per season.
Speaking of BBC shows, I just started watching a comedy called Not Going Out, there arent many times I laugh out loud for a long time but that show is great so far.

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction has been phenomenal so far. Leading off with President Obama's episode might have set the bar a touch high, but every episode has been a great watch. Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity was the biggest waste of an hour and a half I've ever sat though. The show is for a good cause, but the show itself was awful. I watched the first episode of Bare Knuckle Fight Club last night and really enjoyed it too.

Has anyone started/finished Wild Wild Country? The girl and I started it on Saturday. The story is an astounding one, and I have heard nothing but good things about it. I love those type of interesting/weird/obscure documentary stories and this checks all those boxes from the first episode, however it was a bit slow. I'm curious on any or all thoughts you guys have on it?

Sneaky Pete is great. I love Giovanni Ribisi.

To add to Amazon Prime, I know there are mixed reviews of this show by some on here, but I really like The Man in the High Castle. It's About post-WorldWar2 America, if the Nazi's were victorious. Hitler is essentially on the last leg of his life and it bases storylines mostly on 2 American born people who were born before the war but lived in the post war America and that is all they know, 1 Japanese official and his viewpoints on everything, as well as 1 Nazi official (obergruppenführer, even though he was born in America) and how everything would shake out post ww2.

It is semi-SyFi, which throws some people off, but I love the post-WW2 Nazi rule America perception and the ideas of how the Axis would coexist after the war had been won. Very interesting idea in it's own right.

Occupied. Interesting show with 2 seasons.

It's norwegian and subtitled (if I remember right, the exception is when they're speaking anything other than norwegian - that's done in english).

Iron Fist. Just started this last night, got three episodes in and stayed up way later than I planned.

Longmire was Ok. Daughter watching Hawaii 5.0 and I watched a couple with her and it was worth the time, not riveting but didn’t feel mad that I couldn’t get that time back.

I enjoyed Longmire. Reminded me of my childhood days watching Walker Texas Ranger.

I enjoyed Red Oaks on Prime as well. Nothing deep...just a fun show...3 seasons of it.

Wild Wild Country. It’s about a cult in Oregon. True story.

Wife and I are watching that now. So weird. I'd never heard of it before. I was young when it happened but it's outright bizarre. I found myself rooting for the cult for a while, then they turned the corner. Still more episodes to go.

The self sustaining commune actually seems like a great idea, but then they added a whole lot of crazy on top of it.

Broadchurch was good.

Just finished Broadchurch. Really good series with a lot of suspense and somewhat realistic crime drama. Doesn't hurt that David Tennant is the star. He's really good as the ticked off detective.
