There's more but that's it for now.

I really like Lone Star Law about the Texas Game and Fish officers patrolling and keeping the animals safe and the hunters legal. And punishing the occasional drunk boater.

I had no idea what to expect when I gave this series a try. In short, it is brilliant. The link gives an overview, the first few mins of which will give you all you need to know.

Inside No9



Another brilliant series with a Stranger Things feel is Dark. I watched it on Netflix. The series is German but on Netflix it has been dubbed over in English. This trailer has subtitles, I didn't see one that had been dubbed.

Dark

Black mirror is pretty dang cool.
Loved season 4 episode 1. A VR world like that would be so amazing,

The Blacklist on Netflix.

Very good in my opinion.

a reply to: Macenroe82

I wasn't sure of black mirror when I watched season1, I found the programming within it to be a bit suspect. The more recent stories were much better but still had a good lesson in the tale, thinking of the one where your real life status depends on the number of likes you get online.
I still think Inside no. 9 is a brilliant series.

Agreed, I thoroughly enjoyed that series.

Utopia was another fabulous series, not many parts and only 2 series, but a must for conspiracy buffs. Pretty violent at bits though and had a David Lynchness about it at times too.

Quarry
Chance
Man In High castle
Snowfall
The Last Tycoon
Hand of god
Billions

"The Fall" on Netflix ~ Three seasons, 18 episodes. Psychological, serial killer thriller set in Belfast. Sophisticated.

"The Kettering Incident" on Amazon Prime ~ First season, 8 episodes. Psychological thriller/UFO story set in New Zealand. Dark.

"Fortitude" on Amazon Prime ~ First two seasons, 22 episodes. Complex murder mystery set on an isolated island off Norway in the Arctic Circle. Stark.

"Tin Star" on Amazon Prime ~ First season, 10 episodes. An alcoholic cop brings his family to an oil town run by organized crime where his young son is murdered. Set in Canada. Beautiful scenery.

"Trapped" on Amazon Prime ~ First season, 10 episodes. Murder mystery set in Iceland. Like "Fortitude", it's stark.

All excellent and engaging.

Thank you... yes, I love The Kettering Incident and Tin Star. I Just watched 2 episodes of Hidden/Craith and it's okay.

The first season of Collateral looks promising and I find Here and Now intriguing despite its a bit annoying strong politically correct flavor on the account of it's paranormal-mystical angle.

I'll check out Trapped and Fortitude.
