Finished my first watch through of Rick and Morty and then started again at episode one. First time I've ever done that.
Has there ever been a better show with worse fans?

Ok squad I need some advise. I finally got Netflix so (from what I have read) I have a few years of great TV to catch up on!!
My first 2 choices of season2 Fargo and The Americans unfortunately aren’t on there so to keep MrsW happy we started with Suits.
I haven’t seen Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders, The Crown etc etc
Can I have recommendations please.
Season 2 of Fargo is on there mate as I'm watching it.
Do we get the same thing?
Good point mate. I'm not really sure if all areas get the same. Maybe it will come to you shortly.
Yes I don’t think we do. Fargo season 1 is there but not 2 😞 It was the first thing I wanted to watch.

The last couple days, I watched a new documentary on Netflix, Bobby Kennedy for President. There are hints here and there of something good, but it seeks to cover a bit too much and so ends up being rather superficial. The contradiction between his actions as attorney general, authorizing the bugging of civil rights leaders, and his gradual embrace of the politics of protest and of being driven by one's moral compass goes unexamined; his responsibility as an architect of the Vietnam War in JFK's administration and his turn against the war, yet dancing to avoid blame gets almost no treatment (especially strange given how much Vietnam pushed him to run in '68); and his concern about poverty and malnutrition, especially amongst Native Americans, gets covered only to the degree that he was bothered by it. And the final part of the documentary is about a conspiracy theory in his assassination. The overall effect is that I'm not sure what this was about, what the viewer should come away thinking.

Whoops—I should have mentioned that it's four one-hour episodes. Part 1 goes up to Dallas, 2 up to the end of 1967, 3 covers the brief '68 primary run and his death, and 4 is the assassination conspiracy and some people coming back to the scene.

I only remember it thru the eyes of a teenager and found it entertaining for that time. An all star cast including Ernest Borgnine as J Edgar Hoover.

I'm three seasons into Breaking Bad and absolutely loving it.

My other favourite series was Dexter. Although it tailed off towards the end the first four or five seasons were fantastic.

If you're ever stuck for something to watch, give it a go. The first four seasons are tremendous, especially seasons 2 and 3. John Lithgow is great in it, a real bad ass.

Dexter was great until the final season for me. Somewhat rushed. Breaking Bad was great start to finish.

Yup, that's pure SCTV. I couldn't find a clip online, but maybe in the final season they did a great sci-fi parody with Short and Flaherty as Simon and Garfunkel and Levy as Borgnine.

Its one of those shows I'm pretty sure my wife wouldn't like is one of the main reasons. I couldn't sleep one night and now Im hooked on the Killing (US version).

That sounds hilarious. I remember watching this series and my father hating it because he hated both Kennedy and Hoffa.
