Just started watching a very promising crime show on Netflix, Untamed, all the better for being set in spectacular Yosemite https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/untamed  ... and flotsam The Wire is very well worth a look.

flotsam,
If you enjoyed Luther you will like The Wire. In fact I think you would enjoy The Wire no matter what. The story and acting are top notch.
It's nice to be important but it is much more important to be nice.

I remember enjoying that movie quite a bit back then Lex. Good to know it still stands up. Just finished a very enjoyable 6 episode series called the Assassin with Keeley Hawes (which was my initial drawcard). Its stylishly preposterous fun, certainly not to be taken seriously, with entertainment being its raison d'etre. A good romp all round

I just finished Katla on Netflix, an Icelandic series. It's dark and billed as horror, but in the end quite a moving story. Worth watching.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

We like Keeley Hawes so will try the Assassin: my present diet is season 3 of Foundation And an old six episode ITV thriller newly arrived on Netflix, Loch Ness (previously called The Loch) which is quite good. We also like scandinoir, so will give Katia a try. Thanks for the tips.

Jut finished gobbling up seasons 1 and 2 of Foundation. It's fantastic! I'll wait until all season 3 episodes are available before I watch it.
I'm starting For All Mankind today.
Apple TV really does have some great shows..

Just started watching "The Lazarus Project" ... a British sci-fi TV series that follows a man who wakes up to find that time has inexplicably rewound six months and is recruited by a secret organization called the Lazarus Project who's mission is to prevent global catastrophes.

I liked The Lazarus project a lot soot. Very clever I thought. Here’s hoping for another season.

I've always wanted to watch Elementary. I'll put it on my list.
Also, Fallout Season 2 is set in New Vegas and features Mr. House, for those of you who've played the games. Looking forward to it.

I also wanted to add that For All Mankind is fantastic. I highly recommend it. I've been staying up late every night this week just to watch one more episode.

We just finished the Netflix miniseries Hostage, a British political thriller and enjoyed it. Like any movie or TV series you must be willing to temporarily set aside your critical thinking and logic to accept the series fictional elements as what occured for the sake of enjoyment.
