Mr Robot
Sorry if I'm late to the party and this has been discussed already, but I was exploring the Xfinity box last night for something to watch and thought I'd give it a go. Promising first episode, I've got a fair few to catch up on!

Of course. It happens to have shattered all cable premiere records, so a lot of people are with us, too!

How about "The Leftovers", on HBO?
I stumbled across it one night, and caught the 'pilot'/first episode, where approx. 2% of the population disappear in some kind of religious rapture. The show follows the effect of this on a small town. It was very odd, but intriguing enough to make me want to watch more. Looked like it could be ok ... anyone else seen it?

Re: Tele
The underlying storyline is really very good, IMO - they manage to put together a plausible set of scenarios that you would never think of, and some of the cast are reasonable too. But the fact the captain of the ship goes out on every 'mission' and takes ridiculous risks is just so silly. Anyway, we'll watch it to the bitter end at this point ...

My g/f started watching series 1 in 'catchup' mode, where we saw all the episodes in one week. Was pretty good, and looked forward to the second series.

Re: Tele
The Man in The High Castle looks awesome!
It's an Amazon original and episode 1 is available now with the rest of the series coming in November. It's free with Prime.
The premise is that the US is divided into two axis powers after LOSING WWII. The west is controlled by Japan and the East, Germany.
Haven't watched it yet, but the trailer looks amazing, especially considering it's based on a Phillip K Dick (Blade Runner, Total Recall and more) book and Exec Produced by Ridley Scott!

The Trials of Jimmy Rose
3 parter on ITV with Ray Winstone. He's out from doing a long prison stretch and trying to go legit.
Just saw the first part and rather enjoyed it...but the story line seems, well very Ray.
