After Deadshot changed his name to Peaky I checked out this show. Turns out this show is awesome!
1920s British gangster drama. Cillian Murphy is one of the leads, you'd probably recognize him if you saw a picture.
I think it comes on regular TV in the UK but I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix stateside. If you are looking for something to watch I highly recommend it. There's four seasons so far, six episodes a season, and you will fly through it. Super binge-able and worth every penny. I was shocked I'd never heard of it since it seemed right up my alley.
5/5 best post-WW1 British gangster series I've personally ever seen.

I shall add this to the queue (list). Although, I'm skeptical of your reviews now, after you tossed Big Mouth in my general direction. (BTW: is the second season of Stranger Things any good? Disappointment? Almost as good as the first? Better? After Ozark, looking for a new show and The Man in the High Castle looks intriguing)

I have this in my queue - I need to try and watch it. I started watching Babylon Berlin after hearing all the hype and just couldn't get into it. Subtitles force you to pay attention and its tough to do that when you are trying to get work done while watching TV.

Big Mouth was hilarious!
Stranger Things season 2 wasn't too bad. You'll find some complaints about a certain ep or two in a review but overall it was entertaining. I think the problem is you can just rely on the nostalgia and the great kid actors for so long before the overall story starts wearing a little thin.
Man in the High Castle season one was pretty good ... I thought it fell off a little bit in season two (though I think it stayed true to the source material) but still worth a watch I think. I was a sucker for the premise.
On the TV front I have a few shows waiting to watch along with Altered Carbon that I mentioned in the Netflix thread ... The Path , Narcos (been so long since I watched the first season I need to re-watch from the beginning), Alias Grace, Series of Unfortunate Events, Wormwood, Philip K Dicks Electric Dreams, Mindhunter.
I got most of the above when I was searching for a new show to watch ... they're all fairly highly reviewed ... generally I just go to IMDB or RT and look at what's at the top of the reviews and see what might float my boat, then let those shows sit around for a few months while I watch old IT Crowd eps and re-runs of Chopped Jr. on Food Network.
Haven't heard of Babylon Berlin before, I'll have to check it out. NPR says it's the most binge-able show since The Crown (which I also have ready to watch but haven't yet).

Confirmed that Peaky is on Netflix.
I'll prolly binge through stranger things next, before trying MiiHC (the premise is interesting).
Started Black Mirror last week. It is trippy af.

Another bump as a reminder for me lol.
I'm hearing some great things about this show. One of my buddies said it's 'must see TV'.
So need to watch this in between my current Veep binge.

Good time to start! I'm hoping season 5 will be out by summer. Like I said in the OP it's a pretty binge-able show, there's only a few eps per season, and it's awesome so you will watch them all immediately.
