Not sure if it's already been mentioned, but Vigil on Foxtel is absolutely gripping. Topical too considering the nuclear submarine discussion.

I'm two episodes in and I think I'll binge the rest tonight.
Watched it. Needed subtitles. Was good-ish.

Would like to comment more but it would involve spoilers.

Dave. About a nerdy, white, Jewish, wannabe rapper (Lil Dicky, for anyone familiar). Freakin brilliant.
Just finished bingeing season 2. Love this show. The guy's a seriously good rapper, it's funny, but the best bits are the heart. There's a lot of heart. Beautiful. heart-wrenching stuff. Dave Burd is a genius.

Oh, and Succession resumes in fine form.

Just watched the last 3 eps and loved it....
Having not read the book I'd appreciate a critique, one v the other if you get the chance sometime @Ridley :)
Just finished The Chestnut Man last night. Thought it was outstanding. Both my wife and I thought it was a very accurate adaptation of the book. It's the best and most accurate adaptation of a book to a TV series or movie that I can recall.

Given that, if you seen the TV series but have not yet read the book it's probably not worth doing so as pretty well everything is covered in the TV series.

Started S4 today, the dream sequences are a bit much, but the rest of the story is brilliant.
