They have it on BBC America. I'll have to do some digging.

Season 2 is still filming IIRC and is scheduled for release in 2017. I also heard Season 2 will be released via Netflix and that BBCA is no longer involved

If you like WWI and WWII documentaries (the real kind of documentaries, not the kind about alien control over the Austro Hungarian Hapsburg Empire, sorry Gregggggy), I ran across a few recently from the BBC and a British historian named David Reynolds

 

Armistice: About the lead up to the armistice of 11 November 1918

Long Shadow: 3 part series about the shadow cast by WWI across the 20th and 21st centuries

1941 and the Man of Steel: 2 parter about Stalin in WWII

 

And another 2 part series I'm about to start: World War Two: Hitlers Soft Underbelly about North Africa and Italy

Hey, I got nothing against real history :beer: I just leave room for dessert.

I'm 3 episodes deep (finally) into Mr. Robot. I thought I remembered a thread about the show awhile back but couldn't find it. Anyone else watched?

I am, as binged the whole first season earlier this year yet I need to catch up on S2 as only seen the first 2 episodes and think they are 7 episodes in.

Haven't checked this thread in a while -- anyone watching "The Night Of...?" Wife and I watched the first two episodes...a little slow developing but pretty interesting. I think we'll keep going.

Basically. I'm a big fan of Zach Cregger (Whitest Kids You Know) so I was sold as soon as I saw he was in it.

Is it better than Angie Tribecca? as admit I liked the first few episodes but than it got stale and worn out.

1941 and the Man of Steel:

 

 

No aliens huh? Dude, I hate to break it to you but Superman isn't an Earthling.

Mrs. Hammer and I have watched all the episodes. It's pretty good, but kind of all over the place and with one episode left I have no idea how they are going to wrap everything up (maybe they will not). I read online that it is a "limited series." I wonder what that means...

 

The Killing on Netflix has been really good. Another murder "who done it" type of show. We're 6 or 7 episodes into season 1, and I believe there are 4 seasons. Really interesting stuff.

I've never seen Angie Tribeca. I really enjoyed the whole season though. They have a pretty funny cast.

I saw Rhys Darby was in it and enjoyed him as Murray in Flight of the Conchords so I might give it a chance.

He's excellent in it.

I think that means one mini-season and that's it. Like True Detective.

Sunday is the series finale for it. It has been really good. Hammersticks is right that there is a lot that needs to be tied up, but I think that many things won't be, much like True Detective. Turturro is perfect for his role. I couldn't imagine it being played by Gandolfini.

Stranger Things is a really, really cool show. If Spielberg and Steven King did a project together, this is what it would look like. Love the 80's vibe, and it's pretty intense at times.

 

I'm through episode 6. Probably watch the final 2 tomorrow.

 

I enjoy this show.

Yup was gonna recommend this. 8 episodes and though we rarely do this, my wife and I binged through them in 3 days. I thought they did an excellent job with the 80s feel all around.

I should post this in the Stranger Things thread but I'm lazy:

I have the finale of 3rd season of Peaky Blinders left. First two seasons were definitely better IMO, but I'm interested to see how the 3rd season ends.

 

Also, I'm really getting into Daredevil. It took a few episodes but I love the direction it's going.

If you are a fan of 80's beginnings of Hip Hop I suggest The Get Down on Netflix. Has Will Smith's weird ass kid in it, Jaden. But it's a pretty good show about the turmoil in NYC and the beginning's of hip hop during that time.

I read something awhile back that they were planning on another 2 seasons with the final scene involving an air raid during the Blitz.
