TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

It's a slow burn, but worth sticking with. The OA is similar.

I started on The OA but have struggled to get into it. So have changed to Stranger Things

Just started on Blindspot (Sky Box sets).....based on the first episode it looks good......girl turns up abandoned in Times Square having no memory recollection whatsoever and covered in new tattoos which appear to be some code warning of future crimes.

Edit - soz, see this was mentioned earlier in the thread (I didn't wade through all 20+ pages before posting

Just started watching The OA on Netflix - no idea what it's about but will stick with it for a few episodes

If you ever work out what it's all about, please let me know, wife is watching it and I can't make head nor tails of it.

Another full series of Scandal has just been released and we're firing through it 2-3 episodes at a time.

HK - Double episode tonight. If you are with Sky you can set up a Never Miss reminder. Google it but basically you tick which programmes you want to be notified about, new series, and they send you an email a week before it begins. Very handy.

I thought I had done, My Sky box is a few years old and a bit temperamental as it will stop taping episodes of some series for no apparent reason. Ended up having to record 99 at a different time as the wife wanted Unforgotten and Death in Paradise taping at the same time. Death in Paradise is kind of our guilty pleasure, we both know it is cheesy as hell and most of the crimes make no sense, but watching people in the Caribbean sun in the middle of a British winter works for us every time. The best bit is watching out for the celebrity guest star who is obviously doing the role so they could get a couple of weeks holiday in the Caribbean. And fair play to them.

HK - We needed Sky Q last night as well, don't have it so will be downloading via Catch up today. At 9pm there was DiP, Unforgotten, Blindspot and 99. I agree about DiP, a bit of escapism that you watch but don't confess to. 99 wasn't at its best in the first episode last night, taking some of the characters out of their natural environment rarely works, but the second one was better and hopefully it should be back to normal shortly.

Series linking on my box doesn't seem to work between series either, it should record a new series automatically but doesn't, but the Never Miss thing does work. You go one the Sky website, click into your account and find Never Miss from there.

New series of Brooklyn Nine Nine starts tonight on E4/CH4 (something with 4 in the title) at 9pm. If you haven't seen it before then mend the error of your ways. Best comedy on tv.

A shout out for a new series of Unforgotten on ITV, also 9pm so set your planner. The first series was excellent.

We've left this one alone. If the bits they show to get you to watch are anything to go by then we were not amused. The actors look as though they believe in it, it just didn't look funny. You sure about this?

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Start with the first series and build into it. Very sure.

Do you like US comedies? If not then this will not change your mind. If you do then go with this. They have a good spread of characters so they are not dependent on one leading person alone. You'll soon learn to love Capt Holt though.

Designated Survivor is looking really good, i'm hooked after watching only 2 episodes .:thup:

Just watched the final 2 episodes of Parks and Rec. And I'm not ashamed to say I laughed and cried. Please and Thank You.

I think they are repeats but I'd recommend Rick Steins Long Weekend, BBC 2. Always watchable and I think this series works very well. It definitely made me want to visit Vienna.

 

[Beezerk]

Taboo, awesome.
Tom Hardy is some actor.

 

[wrighty1874]

Just finished series one of Unforgotten and really enjoyed it.Season two started last week so will decide whether to watch one by one or do a two night stint like the first one.

 

[MegaSteve]

Watched my first 'box set' over the Xmas break... Does that make me a real man? Quite enjoyed the experience of being able to follow the story line without having to wait a week...


Have now signed up for Netflix and watching The Crown... Finding it really good...

 

[wrighty1874]

Just started Power. Is it any good? First episode seemed ok.

 

[sandmagnet]

Taboo, awesome.

Taboo is going to be brilliant ! Just started watching Sherlock over the last few months and last night was fantastic. It seems tv shows are in my book becoming so much better then films nowadays.

 

[spongebob59]

Just started watched 'Trapped'.
Early days but watchable.
Don't think it'll be as good as the Killing and Bridge.

It's not, but still good.

Signed up to Netflix early December as Mrs Johnnydee wanted to watch The Crown which was excellent.

I am currently working my way through Star Tek Voyager. Fandabidoubledozi!!!

I finally got into Sherlock a couple of years ago and love it now, thought the last episode was slightly dull though, a bit too Dr Who for my liking. I don't recall, did it actually explain how he sussed the guy was a serial killer?
