Thanks for the list Greg. Midnight Mass and The Haunting Of Hill House were great, certainly well up there for the best 'one offs' ever. The scene with the sisters when they get out of the car (HOHH) is incredibly emotional. Some very fine acting going on that should be the norm for horror but often isn't. I also loved the Korean series Kingdom and other 'one offs' Brand New Cherry Flavour and Katla. I tried the Dark but couldn't follow all the back and forth between younger and older versions of characters. Having a similar problem with Yellowjackets at the moment although that is still quite 'fun' psycho women gone rogue in the wild type stuff.

^ Well, I love the original Channel 4 runs and started with those before it went to Netflix. Every series/season has at least one episode I really love. I prefer the Channel 4 series/seasons (plus White Christmas) to the latest seasons of Black Mirror on Netflix. "White Bear' from when it was on Chanel 4 is a particular fave of mine, "Shut Up and Dance" of the Netflix run is certainly well up there. And I do love USS Callister... But then I thought the debut with the PM and the sow was not only audacious but extremely good, which many don't, and that's what got me hooked on watching Black Mirror as I did watch it in order of episode. I also love Bandersnatch (the interactive Black Mirror movie) which I have seen many criticise.

My list got too long, I tried for what are all considered to be Netflix originals. I got into mnay other things on Netflix, such as the anime Death Note which is not a Netflix produced series. Dark is a particular favourite of mine. I listed the languages... With Midnight Mass I caught some of the filming. The order is not really fixed at all, but I knew Dark would be at the top.

Anyway, Dark is brilliant, been surprised how many people I have spoken to and watch Netflix don't know it. Maybe for some because it's German. I love watching with subtitles.

^ I don't have a VPN, but I subscribe to Netflix, Prime, Crave (which is particularly good for HBO content). I

I just finished Kleo season/series two last night (on Netflix). A German show that I have enjoyed very much. The second series felt a bit less plot coherent, this was more focused on certain aspects of the characters, but it was fun and I find the show beautiful to look at.

I know this is about what you finished watching and at around the same time I made a topic on what you are mot anticipating, but I'll just mention it here before I finally do the things I need to (working from home as I do is both a blessing and a curse as I a great procrastinator). I'm really looking forward to season/series seven of Black Mirror which comes out tomorrow. I have not been this excited for Black Mirror for some years.

^ Not heard of that one - sounds fun I'll give it a go ta. Now MAFS has finished Big Brother is now the main TV show on in our house 

In a rotation of a few series currently.

Wolf Hall season 2 tonight on PBS with Mark Rylance & Damian Lewis. Last week's debut was as good as always, looking forward to this season.

Logan wrote: I finished Fargo season five, an anthology series with each season telling a different story, with Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Joe "Steve the Hair Harrington" Keery and Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall. I have Crave in Canada and quite recently that streaming service got the rights to Fargo. I had already watched and loved the first three seasons, with the first season remaining my favourite (still have the fourth to see completely) and very much enjoyed this. I did npot find it as powerful as, say, the first, partially because I might feel I know better a little better what kind of things to expect, but also because it did not have the same level of spiralling inevitably to something bad happening. Fargo has always involved making some bad and/or questionable decisions, but this one demonstrates that ultimately the choice is up to you and you can change your path, your destiny. It's more empowering in that way. A big focus of the season is domestic abuse and trying to make a new life. I really enjoyed it, as someone who was into Kids in the Hall when it came out (and watched some of the revival series), it was a pleasure to see Dave Foley and Jon Hamm's nipple rings not as much. I read an "audience" review of it at rotten tomatoes that I hated which said "Stick to the first 3 seasons. Don't even attempt to watch 4." I commonly like it when people considerately express their thoughts, but I also commonly dislike it when they tell me how to think and/or what to do. I'm glad I did not follow that reviewer's directive and made my own choices.

^ Yes, season 2 of Beacon 23 was a real chore - a shame really as the first season showed promise.
