It's absolute quality. Love David Mitchell.

If you haven't tried it, watch Upstart Crow.  David Mitchell plays Shakespeare in a very blackadder like show (same writer).

The character fits so well with his game show persona.

Where can you find it?

Thanks for the tip, I'll look to track it down.

You do have to dance around the law a skooch as no matter how hard I tried to pay for the content, they creators didn't give me any options to do so in NZ.

Silicon Valley - slow burner, but it will get you. 3 short seasons. Some ridiculous characters. Very funny.

Not a series... but on Netflix...

"Look who's back"

German comedy film, subtitled. Hilarious. 

Premise is that Hitler has fallen unconscious in his bunker in 1945, and woken up in the exact same spot in 2014. 

Similar style to Borat etc in that it's half scripted, and half "reality" - the Hitler character interacting with the public to garner reactions.

Extremely funny on both sides of that style, highly recommend it.

A slow burner especially compared to TWD but Fear the Walking dead is starting to grow on me. Last few episodes have been good.

Anyone here watch Narcos? It's a great series about Pablo Escobar, one of the most notorious ever drug dealers. I'm about to start season 2 which came out last week, it's gonna be awesome. Well worth a watch!

Anyone watched "class of 92: out of their league"? It's about what happens when giggs, scholes, butt and the nevilles buy a soccer team. I haven't seen anything but I've heard it's alright.

The Walking Dead is back - what an exhausting season premier. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Negan makes The Govenor look like Mary Poppins.

Luke Cage had a 70s blaxploitation vibe, and those Marvel Netflix shows tend to be a bit grittier than the movies (Daredevil is great for that), both reasons why I liked it. Was a bit slow moving and the final face off a bit abrupt but otherwise would recommend.

^ I am about to start watching Stranger Things.  Hope it lives up to the hype.

I just finished watching season 4 of Bates Motel.  No idea why Freddie Highmore or Vera Farmiga didn't get any emmy nominations this year, they were both excellent.  I also heard a rumour that Rihanna is going to play Marion Crane in season 5 which I personally think is dumb, she is no Janet Leigh and she won't do it justice.

I'm three episodes into series one of Breaking Bad and loving it. I must be the last person in NZ not to have watched this. It only took me 8 years :)
