"I thought White Lines was dreadful. Terrible acting and direction so gave it up. Currently watching 13 Reason Why. on Netflix, quite good. Enjoyed Space Force, very funny."

Can you watch zero zero zero on any normal telly things yet? I’m years behind on the downloading so can’t watch it that way.

Ive got Zero Zero Zero in the favourites to watch. Seen a lot of Narcos stuff lately so I was getting a bit of Cartel overload! Couldn’t face any more for a while!

"In the US tv programmes are called seasons, therefore it's 'season' Series is for UK programmes, it aint hard to grasp. No doubt some on here refer to the NY subway as the NY underground. As for Fargo 1 and 2 are superb, I've held back on 3 but will get around to it."

"Why did you correct yourself about ""season two""? I know it's an American phrase but it's better than using the same word to describe both the thing itself and a section of it. People here should either use season, especially if it's an American show, or come up with some alternative."

"two is also very good, three is the poorest of the three but still worth watching. BBT's performance makes series one the best though"
