Before We Die. There’s actually two different versions of this. An original Scandinavian version with English subtitles on the Amazon PBS channel. And also a British version on …I think it’s Britbox. They are both excellent.
Very novel storyline. Son goes wayward and his mum, a detective, has him arrested to save him from himself. Fast forward several years and out of prison the son is reformed and works in a Croatian restaurant but doesn’t keep in touch with his mum much anymore. His mum’s new boyfriend, also a detective, reluctantly employs the son as a confidential informant since there’s bad things going on headed up by the Croatian crime family that own the restaurant. The BF is kidnapped, tortured and killed. Mother has access to a phone and keeps the confidential informant working without either of them knowing they are mother and son…for a while.
Those aren’t spoilers, just the premise. There’s lots going on.

Jury Duty on Amazon Prime. About a guy joining a jury, but everyone involved is an actor. It's so funny.

The premise reminds me of that bounty hunter show, where everyone was in on it except 1 guy.
I started watching Mr. Inbetween, bit of dry aussie humor that some won't like, but seems to get good reviews. I'm enjoying it so far.

You ever watch Rake? The first season of that was pretty funny! Great character that reminded me of a younger Paul Hogan.

Never heard of it, not sure how it slipped under my radar, I'll put it on my list though, thanks.
We finished watching Justified last night. It was so well written and acted. Thanks for the recommendation. Now the hunt for the next show. Looks like some great suggestions in this thread. Thanks!
I only have a couple of episodes left to watch.
Just finished watching Arnold. It was better than I expected, very good and candid.
HBO does it again!

Started this a while back but did not continue additional Seasons due to neglect. 
This is particularly poignant with Orlando Bloom having a hard time with his emotions and it explores just how well photos as opposed to video can capture the essence in a still.
