TV Series - What Are You Watching?

So just finished Chernobyl, wow what an ending and chilling way to finish that fully highlights the true extent of what occurred. Sensational TV viewing but shows how little some governments put in the value of human life when its their reputation that's more important

New series of The Handmaids Tale started last night - brilliant.

Funny, I'm 3 episodes in and I don't think it is near the 1st series so far. The end of the 3rd episode showed promise but so far it's a bit meh to me.

Two episodes in now, and still enjoying it.

On series 4 now of Rake on Netflix, an Aussie legal series - utterly brilliant - hilarious, brilliant scripts (based on a a real character) and amazing characters - don't want it to end. VERY highly recommended

Inspector Rabbit and 2nd series of Killing Eve

Likewise, finished it last night. Amazing viewing. the stats and figures at the end were mind blowing.

Regarding Chernobyl, there are charities that give children living in the region holidays to non affected countries as it can massively help their health just to get away for a few weeks in a year. After watching the programme we have registered to take someone next year, if required. Might be something for others to think about, most of us who have seen the programme have been quite affected by it.

Finished Chernobyl

Amazing television , haunting , brilliantly acted and whilst it was a very hard watch you just couldn’t not watch it. Certainly made you think back to those years and how closed off the USSR was and I never really knew the full story until I joined the RAF .

Onto The Virtues now - enthralling first two episodes , can feel it building and you see the emotions. Stephen Graham is brilliant actor

Caught UFO on Forces TV tonight. Forgot what a strange mix that was for Gerry Anderson between real actors and animation. Great title music though

No spoilers here but the ending of The Virtues may surprise you somewhat. It isn’t bad, just not what I was expecting at all.

Currently watching Killing Eve after seeing all the hype - two episodes in and I’m not exactly hooked. Seems a lot of style over substance at the moment but the premise is good. I’ll stick with it.

Rewatching Game of Thrones again from the start, too. Just about to finish the first series and it’s fantastic to see how my view of events and people has changed, knowing their fate and how it all evolves. So much happens in that first series.

Well it’s all finished and it was brilliant telly , excellent ending and definitely not expected - really recommend it to anyone. Will say again outstanding acting from Stephen Graham and impressive from the lady who played Dinah

Last episode of the current season of Billions. OK, it is getting a little like a soap opera now but I am still really enjoying it and looking forward to season 5.

Graham is an institution and one of the best character actors of all time.

watched the 2nd series of Killing Eve last night, very happy with the ending hope they don't make a 3rd series

Wild Bill. Rob Lowe comes across from the US to be Chief Constable in Lincolnshire. A little bit formula tv but some of the dialogue was sharp enough to make it more than just a fish out of water show. Easy watching.

Home on Ch4 - might have been suggested on this thread (get my best TV from here)...very funny and poignant.

Missus thought it was a bit tame but she came in half way through and hadn't heard the snappy script at the start. Enjoyed it so I hope it doesn't go all Death In Paradise on me lol.

Not sure why I’m sticking with Killing Eve. Poorly written. Badly acted. Whole episodes pass with little story progression. No depth to characters and they don’t even follow their modus operandi. This won awards? Shocking.

I loved series 1 and would disagree with every part of your post. I'm up to episode 7 of series 2 and sad to say you are now largely correct, the acting is fine though. Hugely disappointing.
