TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Hacker Khan]

I enjoyed watching this also...

Found it easy to identify myself with the older gentlemen working at the visitor centre...

Funny you should say that as my immediate thought was 'I bet he contributes to golf forums' 😉

There were some very funny bits, the DOGA joke and the blurring of the teenagers faces made me laugh out loud.

Really disappointing last episode of Baptiste for me. Implausible story lines, stories not tied up properly, a bizarre look back at how it ended. Loved the series but this episode was weak. Particularly disappointing after last weeks excellent set up episode.

We agree , very mediocre finish to an enthralling series.

Damn...... haven't seen it yet, but am halfway through season 1 of The Missing whilst I was waiting on the last episode of Baptiste.

You might enjoy it still, I could be being fussy.

I haven't seen The Missing. Is it worth watching? It looked a bit stressful first time around so I didn't bother but I have enjoyed Baptiste so was thinking of giving it a go. Is it very edgy, tiring to watch etc or is it similar to Baptiste?

The Missing was excellent but again I thought the ending was a real cop out.

I'm only watching because I like the Baptiste character. Ignored the first time round because I'm not a fan of James Nesbitt. It is quite grim viewing in parts, dealing with an unpleasant subject, but worth the watch, despite Nesbitt.

Reckon you're being fussy .

Watched the last episode yesterday. I can see where you're coming from, but thought in the scheme of things it was not as bad as I was suddenly expecting

The ending to Baptiste was a bit so so - it just seemed to want to tie up loose ends

Both series of The Missing are superb - again though ended a bit meh

Binge watched Afterlife on the Friday it came out.. Absolutely genius writing (although if you follow RG on Twitter then you'll recognise most of the themes/lines). It's up there with "Derek" as his best work.
Umbrella Academy was a great watch. A little bit different from the usual Superhero fare.
Shetland was average at best. Poor direction and about 2 hours too long.

On a positive note, I've managed to stop the better half from watching Designated Survivor, meaning that I don't have to watch some of the worst TV made!!!

Seriously????? It's great TV.

No it's not. It's shallow, poorly written, sensationalist nonsense.. Have away at it if that's what you like though...

Have been enjoying Race Around The World on BBC2. 4 teams of 2 racing to get to Singapore with a limited budget and not allowed to take any flights.

The dad and his lad from Bradford are great to watch. The lad has changed from being a typical Kevin and Perry teenager into a really nice positive guy. Hope they win.

The endings are a bit rushed sometimes. Seems to be wanting to wizz along for some reason. It's been picked up for a third, so maybe better witters and two parters may improve it. I still like it though.

Ditto. Watched the 3rd episode I think...the one after the two women were eliminated. Anyhow, suddenly the moody teenager saw something in his Dad other than him being a grumpy Dad and it was lovely to see. I think it could be the making of the lad - when things go tits up you work harder rather than lie down and moan about it.

I've been watching this too, and agree what your saying about the son, started off as a typical example of the "snowflake" generation, but has really grown up as the journey has progressed.

I think the show is ok, but a typical BBC budget version of my favourite American programme "The Amazing Race" where they race for $1 million

I do feel some of the show is a little staged, when they arrive in foreign parts and amazingly find paid work at the drop of a hat!!!

After Life on Netflix with Ricky Gervais, it's easy watching and fill a half hour void where I just want to mindlessly chill out for half hour. Occasional funny one liners that tickle me too. I imagine it's one that will divide opinions though, plenty of swearing if you prefer to avoid such language.
