Standalone. Totally separate story lines.
Though a bit like true detective, what followed the incredible first series was mixed to sat the least.
I'd jump straight to 5!

Planning to start this soon, fully expecting to get all nostalgic and start playing Shogun:Total War soon afterwards
.I've just finished series 1 of The Bear and really recommend that. First episode drops you straight in with very little explained but i was hooked and have loved it so far. Series 2 alao available on Disney+ plus i may have a look at Shogun first for some variety.

I loved S2 of Fargo in particular, but it was the first one I watched which is probably quite a big part of it. Still got to catch up on 4 and 5.
Wasn't sure about Kin after the first episode as it felt like it was veering towards soap opera, but we've just watched the third and I'm in. The chap playing Jimmy is really good in anything I've seen him in, which you can't often say about someone who's been in Hollyoaks.

A Shameful Display!
Not played Shogun 2 for years, might have to reinstall it
A few have mentioned The Bear on this thread so I'll have to give it a go, thanks

I liked Series 2 of Kin more than the first (which i also liked). I quite liked the fact that I didn't really warm to many of the characters generally, very much like the Sopranos was for me, they're a pretty horrible bunch really.

I'll add spoilers just in case
I'm the same already, it felt like Michael was going to be a very sympathetic character and there are still elements of that but he didn't take too much convincing to kill the chap in the middle of a busy pub

I was really impressed, not caught up since episode 2 yet.
Apparently the novel it's based on is very good too

The Gentlemen series on Netflix is out and it's really good so far! Get on it if you enjoyed the film.
Great to hear. It’s on the list. Loved the film, one of my favourites in recent years

Just watched it a couple of days ago and really, really liked it. Not as strange as I expected it to be and Emma Stone is just fabulous in it.

Just been watching Halo.
Passable entertainment. Very predictable though and these futuristic things that lack any imagination of the future do annoy me.
Set 500 years in the future, yet drones are still the same size as they are now, the weapons still seem to be machines guns, the contact devices, still the same size as mobile phones and they have lifts that are still lifts and doors that still open like elevator doors.
Considering how far we have come just in the last 100 years, you would think they would show a bit more imagination.
Surely computers and technology will be built into us and we will be like walking smart phones and if there are still drones, they would probably be the size of a pinhead at best.
So many sci fi shows fall into this same lazy, trap and it does pee me off.
Rant over.
Still watching it all though.

It's basically a retelling of Frankenstein and her journey from monster to woman

This is why you should always go “alternate universe” instead of far future. Removes all these plot holes. The CRT green screens in 70s and 80s sci fi and the robot voices that we’d surpassed in about ten years from the shows release always tickled me.

Yep, and as soon as you bring in Time Travel (e.g. original Star Trek), or brought someone back from the dead (e.g. Game of Thrones), you've reduced jeopardy and diminished the story, imho.
The best "Phew, it was all a bad dream" catastrophe scenario was done in Captain Scarlet I reckon, in the episode when the Mysterons finally killed him and destroyed Cloudbase. Now there's a proper show.

Fran is one of the best characters ever
Think Clint really liked him as well. Preferred Darren and Nidge myself but loads of very good characters

She's fabulous in it isn't she.Just watched Poor things - pretty whacky story and set - was not quite expecting thatquite enjoyed it though - she has a lovely body even if she is home made !
It wasn't what I was expecting either. Wacky, but not as bizarre as I thought it was going to be.
Looks sumptuous too.

No wonder it won quite a lot of awards - wasn’t sure my wife was going to get through it but gradually she took to it - not sure the request for furious jumping will be taken up
