TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Kellfire]

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.

I just don’t get it at all. Three episodes in and we’re supposed to be ok that this reckless murderer is seen by numerous witnesses yet walks around without a care in the world. Beyond that there is nothing to any of the characters. It’s like Line of Duty for children!

It's not real life, chill. It is the care free attitude of the lead that makes it different. Murder with humour, the more outrageous the better.

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 happened to catch one episode of this this week as Mrs P was watching. Not much in it for me. Seemed like an unfunny black comedy.

This is where I fall. My lass loves the comedy event whereas I see it as a script writer who can’t do tension so does awkward humour instead and it misses the mark by a mile.

Not for me, unfortunately.

Watched the first episode of Wild Bill - it’s started ok , not sure if it’s gripping enough yet but for potential.

Anyone watched that series Happy? I didn't watch it properly but caught a bit of it. It's about a hitman who somehow ends up saddled with an imaginary friend, a small flying unicorn, voiced by Patton Oswalt. Proper weird, couldn't really decide if I liked it or not. Just wondered if people would recommend it or not?? It's on Netflix.

Am up to ep6 on season 2, both myself and Mrs Wedge still enjoying it. I really like the quirkiness in the characters, and I'm becoming worryingly attracted to Carolyn .

The Planets presented by Brian Cox. Fascinating watching although I'd love more details. One program on each planet would be great.

Catch 22. Really promising start.

It was a one series program for me that just smacks of being dragged out because it was popular. Apparently there's going to be a third series. The second series just seems to go round in circles.

Me and the misses just watched the 1st 2 Episodes, i think we're already hooked, our type of humour/ era, and thought provoking at our age . thanks for the heads up

Watch 30 minutes , a bit too weird for me.

Really enjoying Series 3 of Designated Survivor. Keifer has become more Presidential in character than Jack Bauer Lite. Some of the gimmicks are a little annoying (real people interviews, gay sex etc) but it's still a good program although it is reaching the end of its sell-by-date as the original premise has gone the same way as Prison Break did.

Even put Black Mirror on hold after watching 5.1 - the others are backed up ready.

Just finished Mum which makes me sad. Have enjoyed savouring an episode each evening - just superb.
