Stephen King's 'Mr Mercedes' starring Brendan Gleeson on SBS is good.

Mr Mercedes | Drama

A killer taunts a retired police detective with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, campaign to bring the killer to justice before he can strike again. Based on the best selling novel by Stephen King.

First season was good. Went downhill rapidly from there

Did they run out of source material - that is usually what happens.

I think each season of Mr Mercedes is based on a Stephen King book trilogy, so the material is there, maybe the second book wasn't as good as the first?

Enjoyed the first season (and the book) but haven't seen the second yet

I know a lot of people loved it, but the recent S King adaptation (The Outsider) really stank IMO. Started great, then was just a endless series of car journeys in that boring flat terrain in Georgia.

I watched the first 2 episodes and gave up.
 
I was looking forward to The Outsider, but it was really hard viewing after the first couple

Just finished watching 3 seasons of "Follow the Money" on SBS on Demand. Damn good. As they describe it: "Compelling Danish drama series set in the world of economic crime in the banks, on the stock exchanges, and in the boardrooms".

Recommend.

Just finished binging on seasons 1 & 2 on Foxtel. Was very good the first time around, excellent on 2nd viewing. Now onto season 3. Debating whether to watch episodes as they come on or wait and binge again.
My only criticism of the show is the short length of the episodes

Loved Season 1. Very original show. Season 3 has started well, interested to see where it goes.

I love it too. I rewatched series 1 & 2 in preparation for series 3 & found it even better the second time around. It certainly creates a sense of dread and Matt Nable is always good. I till think about that scene of the secret santa.
 
Have now switched to 'Alone' on SBS.
Premise is Survivor with real survivor experts.
10 men dropped into a brutal wilderness (complete with predators) with nothing except ten tools and must find their own food.
One by one they tap out in the quest for 500k.
Can be riveting viewing.

www.sbs.com.au

Alone US

A group of 10 brave participants are forced to use their wits when left in the wilderness with nothing but a backpack. The adventurers struggle with harsh weather, hostile locations, and aggressive wildlife.

Love Mr Inbetween. Reminds me in some ways of Rake, which I and my wife are watching in Netflix and thoroughly enjoying.
