    We've just binge watched this series and quite frankly how so much gratuitous violence has been allowed on television is beyond me, we loved it, good storyline, characters that you'll like and hate in equal measure, all ten episodes available, so it will alleviate at least some of the boredom.

    From the polar opposite of the entertainment spectrum, I find watching The Joy Of Painting with Bob Ross extremely therapeutic and relaxing. He does oil paintings from scratch (usually landscapes). Even though he died in the mid '90's, he was a truly chilled out bloke and this comes across in the programme, which is aired on a number of tv channels. I accept others will find it dull, tedious and boring.:D

    The longer it goes the more ridiculous it becomes though.

    It is 9 episodes but I think the 1st episode is lengthier so the blurb says 10 episodes, I hope this helps, cos I've lost me sen

    I’m on episode 5 and violence aside I’m really enjoying it and looking forward to seeing which way the story goes. Not to spoil it for anyone but the scenes are a bit graphic at times and I wonder whether there’s any need to go quite that far. Gunshots and falling bodies would do.
