Travelers season 3 was amazing. all that good Travelers **** you love from the first 2 seasons. doing missions and ****, all the time. sometimes we the audience won't even know they've been doing a mission until some character who's not in on it finds out. TIME TRAVELING MISSIONS. what's not to love? 5 bags of popcorn

YeahCDN netflix just got 2 ****ing season of Travellers....haven't been this excited in a while....though its been discussed here ad nauseum I'm a big fan.

Season 1 is a Five Bagger, despite not having enough Matt Damon.

Bodyguard was enjoyable. I love those 6-8 episode british political dramas. also I learned that "#10" means the prime minister!

gonna get onto travelers next although I cant remember anything about the last season

Innocent Man is fantastic, for anyone that finds these stories of injustice interesting.

I love to watch them, but they make me a little paranoid that it could happen to anyone.

I have to remind myself that I would say:

“I did not do anything.”

“I do not understand why you are accusing me.”

“I have nothing more to say, but I demand a lawyer immediately!”

“Lawyer”

“LAW-YUR!!!!”

The innocent man was great for putting me to sleep early on. The fourth or fifth episode it finally got interesting imo.

innocent man is a crazy story but constructs/tells the story pretty poorly

Bad Blood was ok, around a 7. Canadian crime mafia show with Anthony La Paglia and Kim Coates. Worth a watch if you like that genre.

I kept waiting for the big shocking twist to happen in The Innocent Man after Grisham hyping it in episode 1 as being so crazy no one would believe it, but it was never really paid off. Maybe I'm just numb to these stories of shady police interrogation techniques at this point, but that's all it really was and seems like it could've been told in less than half the time. Nothing much else was very remarkable about the story and it seemed really light on details of the trials and other legal maneuvering compared to others like Making a Murderer.

It's often used thus:

Political reporter: "The word from #10 this evening is that..."

but in that context it's analogous to "The White House", the political reporter is probably referring to one of the PM's aides rather than the actual PM.

well, the office of it basically like party said. "shes making a play for the #10" took me a couple times to understand.

I quit on Haunting of Hill House halfway thru ep3. It's ok, well-made etc., just wasn't quite feeling it. Kept thinking that I should read the great Shirley Jackson book it's based on instead, go right to the source.

I would recommend watching at least through episode 5.

I was bored with it after the first two eps and only kept going because of peoples comments, and I'm glad I did. But I also like the genre.

My bf and I watched one episode of Haunting of Hill but he's just not into it. I don't mind it, not totally sold but I will probably give it a go by myself at some point because people here like it so much.

To elaborate on my above comment, I was feeling so-so about Hill House around ep 3 as well. But the investment in the first few episodes starts to pay off in ep 4 and in an even bigger way in ep 5. I would recommend giving it at least that much before writing it off as not for you.
