Lazarus Project does my head in

This is a way-fun series, that also leaves you proper gutted while you scratch your head. For me it seems like some really original approaches to time travel storytelling. It's like if Groundhog Day (or its idea's originator, the novel Replay) was turned into an excellent workplace dramedy.

There's some justified criticism about the main(ish) character and his ability to somehow embody keystone Kop and John Wick at the same time while making the worst string of decisions ever in fiction.

But if you can ignore all that, you'll fall in love with Archie and Shiv and the gang and the whole complicated mess!

Dark Matter

 

Imagine Cormac McCarthy rewriting Michael Keaton's Multiplicity, or perhaps in a different timeline it'd be Chekhov taking a swipe at Quantum Leap.   But either way, watch this f***** series - SO good!

Joel Edgerton stars as Jason[0], whose love for Jennifer Connelly's Daniela leads him back home across time, space and quantum matter.  I think I'ma need to read me some Blake Crouch books.

Slow Horses win the race

Slow Horses is a bit like if Alan Furst got together with David Simon and they combined forces to follow a modern day MI5 unit.

This is a very well-written show with unique characters and edge of your seat action and chase scenes and infinitely funnier than most other workplace dramas out there.

You can almost smell Gary Oldman's character - Jackson Lamb - who heads up an MI5 unit full of misfits that continually find themselves in fake situations with disastrous consequences.  Lamb leads the disgraced unit, but his backstory is Smiley/Bond worthy from the sounds of it, and his caring for the "Joes" under his command seems sincere.
