Broadchurch - Season 1
2013 | Drama
British TV at its best. With a small number of episodes (only 8) and yet an intricate plot to unfold, the action flows along at quite a pace.
David Tennant plays the grumpy detective well, ably backed up by Olivia Colman.
Episode by episode each of the main characters are touted as a main suspect for the murder of young Danny Latimer and all eventually discounted (though you never really stop believing they could have done it!).
The conclusion was something of a shock and made you question everything you had seen in the previous episodes.
  
Bates Motel  - Season 1
Bates Motel - Season 1
2013 | Drama
Brilliant "before he was a psycho" alternative view of the Norman Bates story. This series sees the family move to a town with something of a corrupt underbelly. The series doesn't look to explore Norman's "tendencies" as much as I might have expected, but the rest of the peripheral action makes it an excellent standalone series without Norman in it!
We start to see something of the psycho emerge towards the end of the series.
  
Marvel's Daredevil  - Season 1
Marvel's Daredevil - Season 1
2015 | Action
Brilliantly executed backstory of the devil of Hell's Kitchen and his battle with the kingpin (before he becomes the kingpin). Matt Murdoch splits his life between his up and coming legal practice and fighting crime on the streets of New York city.
Well written, acted and directed, this is very stylish yet gritty and engaging throughout.

Amazing visuals
A great, stunning audio/visual treat for the senses! The story though has been done quiet a few times already it has to be said. It didn't feel like a 2.5 hour film. The level of detail and creativeness in terms of the alien planet Pandora and creature design was great. I can understand the hype for this, it does take a lot of things to the next level. It has some great action scenes. However on the whole the plot is not ground breaking by any means. Still one that has to be seen and experienced!
