Finished watching Hannibal, I thought it was great and I can't believe it got cancelled.

There was a significant dip after season 2, smaller dip after 1.

Always loved Ideal.

I thought season 3 started off slow but picked up near the end of it.

Spoiler: Spoiler

I thought Mason Verger was boss and when Francis Dollarhyde came in it picked up.

I think they should have split those two chars up. Didn’t need them in one season. The first season was just so good and season 2 wrapped it up nicely that I just didn’t see how they could top it.

Based on your recommendations we started EP1 last night...it was good but not great: bit formulaic so far. Does it get better? No spoilers or even plot descriptions, please...we're going in blind!

Tho' saying that I watched the classic 60's film The Haunting just a few months ago...this series is a remake of that, right down to the name of the spooky house and inner garden sanctum with the statues and the spiral staircase. The film had different characters, tho'...no family with kids. Recommended watch if you don't mind black & white.

I would say it definitely gets better. It builds to a couple of great episodes in the middle of the season (episodes 5 & 6) and then finishes off really well.

Ep 5 and 6 are absolutely amazing. Peak of the show - it hits the mark mostly but kind of bottoms out by ep 10. Finishes it up nicely but maybe could have wrapped it up in 8.

Daredevil S3 just hit Netflix.

S2 tailed off after Punisher's storyline ended but it seems Kingpin is back so fingers crossed!

ha Punisher UK were my favourite comics back in the day (1988-ish)...Kingpin was a well-realised villain, still have the first 40 issues.

The Punisher TV series is one of my favourite ever; absolutely brutal. Jon Bernthal is the most perfect Punisher I could picture.

Watched the first two episodes last night and, despite the fact that I can't stand Sandra Oh in anything I've seen her in, I'm going to give the next two a go tonight.

Watched a few more episodes and I've got to say Killing Eve is one of the series I've enjoyed the most in recent years. Black humour, twists and turns, as long as you aren't expecting realism.

The haunting of hill house is remarkably well done

Was meant to watch this last night but got caught in an unexpected S3 Daredevil trap.

Making a Murderer part 2 is some of the most boring telly I've seen in ages. Swerve it, the fella is guilty and he ain't getting out.

Zellman is getting him out for sure. She's all over this.

I am crap with scary things and this Haunting of Hill House is freaking me right out.
