I don’t even bother with new shows anymore - no point getting invested in something thatll be cancelled anyway. And a lot of series these days turn out to be trash, and not worth even trying.

I recently started slow horses. Really good if you're looking for something. 4 seasons in

Absolutely, I wish I could forget it and re-watch it for the first time. It's really good.

I also enjoyed Criminal Record, it's much more intelligent than 99% of shows out there. And it has a bad-ass detective.

I heard your comment.

Misfits and losers!

"Surrounded by losers, misfits and boozers."

I thought there was something more to it. (I'm just watching the latest episode now.)

Seconding this! Show is great, and Gary Oldman really shines

Ikr? I think i ditched Netflix 2 years ago. Sailing the high seas again after a long time. It was all good when Netflix was the one streaming platform, featuring almost everything.

Don't miss out on some good new shows. But i would rather look at Amazon's and Apple's releases for good, new, series. They also tend to not cancel series as often as Netflix does.

As much as I hate Amazon as a corporation, they actually make good creative decisions with their streaming offerings. I really liked Patriot back in the day and was surprised

Funny you say that, because Amazon seems to cancel the few shows I get invested in.

Miss out on some good new shows

For sure - Ill wait until its “finished”, or at least not being cancelled midway through
