I have tried to like Dr. Who, really I have, and I even record it for a buddy and he comes over and watches, but I just dont like the show.

Luther and Black Mirror are awesome

Black Mirror is now streaming on Netflix.

In addition to lots of the shows already listed, I really enjoyed The Fall.

The second season is currently on BBC 2, so hopefully it'll lan on Netflix in the nearish future.

I enjoyed the Blechley Circle. Not entirely realistic, but enjoyable.

If you like comedy, there was a series from a couple of years ago that I really liked. I don't think you can find it without doing a search and 'downloading it'. It was called Cuckoo & stared SNL comedian, Andy Samberg.
It's very funny!

Cuckoo pits Hollywood stalwart Andy Samberg against British comedy giant Greg Davies.

Ken and Lorna Thompson's daughter Rachel has returned from her gap year with a new husband, Cuckoo - self-appointed spiritual ninja. He is every parent's worst nightmare - a slacker full of outlandish, New Age ideas. Ken and Lorna have no choice but to welcome him into their family home - and if every Englishman's home is his castle, then this hippie has stormed Ken's fortress and plundered everything, most unforgivably, his princess.

just finished Black Mirror, wow is it amazing... I'm not sure if I've seen a scifi show that dark...

To be honest I'm not sure why black mirror doesn't have it's own thread...

Being Human was fantastic.

I loved seasons 1-3. Never finished season 5. I just never got attached to the characters introduced in season 4.

Started Peaky Blinders last night. Shouldn't take me too long to burn through the 13 episodes on Netflix.

Peaky Blinders FTW

Says a dude with no kids.

I have only watched one episode of Dr Who. Christopher Eccleston was the Dr and they witness the nova of the Earth's sun.

He takes the girl to meet all these alien species and the last human alive:



When all the aliens are filing into the viewing platform Eccleston acts giddy with all the weird species and begins to jiggle with glee:





Now Im usually into to campy scifi, but the aliens and the human were just crap. How people can subject themselves to such poor writing and slow wit amazes me.

Yeah that was where I stopped watching as well. Interesting concepts, just poorly presented.

Watch the episode "Blink" season 3 episode 10. Great science fiction and creepy as hell. And the Doctor is barely in it.

Couldn't get past the pig episode of Black Mirror. Writers confused shocking with disgusting

I know that episode is screwed up, I promise you all the other episodes are better. It was worth it to me to keep watching...

Perhaps I will. I guess I shouldn't judge a series by one episode. I can only imagine what someone would think of breaking bad if the first episode they saw was the Fly (or whatever the name of that episode was).

One thing I do worry about watching 30 seasons of anything.

Episode 2 of Black Mirror was great. 1 was meh

Watched The Trip last week which is apparently based on a TV sitcom.

If you can't get past the first season of Doctor Who, you are seriously subjecting yourself to missing some of the best Sci-fi in the history of Sci-fi

Ecclestone was not a good doctor imo. If you can get through his iteration, i think you will find Tennant's doctor to be much more enjoyable.

We are currently on the second series/iteration of Doctor Who, I think the previous run ended sometime back in the 80's. The revival started in 2005.

Hey man, bow ties are cool.

Enjoyed Orphan Black and Copper.

Love the BBC shows... I'd add Ripper Street into the mix as well, great show that Netflix is picking up due to them canceling it in favor of running more Peaky Blinders.

The Graham Norton show is the BEST talk show around. All guest come out at the same time. Some drink wine or beer. We watch every week.

Also, can't wait for more Orphan Black and Sherlock.

The Fall is worth watching on Netflix. Just binge watched season 1 today (5 episodes). Season 2 will be available on January 16th.

Tennant makes the show an insane amount better.
