TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Lord Tyrion]

Beezerk - Not really. It was the idea of plain sight. The bloke also had an overwhelming urge to boast of his crimes, hence the monthly confession. Personally, I thought the obvious impression of Jimmy Saville was the giveaway, although obviously JS did not murder, just abuse. Even down to wandering the hospital at nights with his own set of keys. Not the most subtle of writing.

Sometimes with Sherlock they just make huge leaps and you just have to go with it rather than analyse too deeply. I'm still waiting in hope for Irene Adler to return. I'm still living off that episode with her when she first met Sherlock

oooh! Now getting into the meat of Stranger Things on Netflix - rather addictive.

As an aside - does anyone else have a 'dimming' issue when watching stuff on Netflix. I notice that the picture on my Sony will dim and 'undim' according to the brightness of the picture - I am thinking it is likely to be a Sony Android issue rather than anything to do with the lighting on, such as, Stranger Things

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...

Both Mrs SiLH and myself really enjoyed The Crown . Now looking forward to the next 5 series (one each for 60s, 70s etc)

Everything about it is from the top drawer... Difficult to find any fault... We are also looking forward to the next series...

I was born about a month after the coronation so its a bit of a reflection of the times I have lived through...

At the moment walking dead, not bad so far!

After looking up a few titles mentioned on here, I have just subscribed to Netflix.

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

Nick, we've watched it right up to date and really enjoyed it although be careful watching it if the kids are around. It's like soft porn in parts.

What hooked us was the fact that we didn't have a fixed idea of what Queenie and Feeleep looked like in the 50s - and likewise such as the Queen Mum, Queen Mary, Princess Maggie, Mountbatten, Townsend, Eden and Attlee - and even though Churchill is too tall and King George not quite gaunt enough - the acting fits perfectly with how I'd imagine them. So it was very easy for me to just accept what I was seeing as 'almost documentary'. Made it a good watch for us. Only episode that I thought was a bit 'constructed' was that around the Great Smog of 1952 - but that was still a good watch for us.

I'm five episodes into Designated Survivor and sadly it's not quite what I expected. I was hoping for something thought provoking based around politics but it's more like a Presidential version of 24. Still a decent yarn but there's no depth whatsoever.

The Goldbergs returned last night.......absolutely laugh out loud comedy, brilliant.:thup::whoo:

Cheers Martin,I'll stick with it and watch after 9 when kids are in bed.

Been sitting through the World At War in the last few days. Forgot how good it was in the day, given it's 40 years old now

 

[Fish]

Just watched 3 episodes of Designated Survivor and really enjoying it.

I agree - I 'love' (if that could ever be the right word) dipping in to watch a few episodes of TWaW. Laurence Olivier narrating and the theme music just takes me right back to when it was first shown and just reflects the hell of war.

Even now reflecting on TWaW I find it very odd/strange/frightening to realise I was born just over a decade after the end of WWII.

NO OFFENCE two episodes in and it has been brilliant,really fast paced and a good story line.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

My son and I watch Hawaii 5 O together. It's a bonding thing. We just watched Sundays episode on catch up and they have just "jumped the shark". Truly awful. We were hiding behind cushions for the last 2 minutes. Anyone else unfortunate enough to see it?

 

[Beezerk]

Another poor Sherlock last night imo, seems to have gone borderline ridiculous with loads of wtf moments.
What happened to him cracking cases rather than being given the run around by a secret sister/davidblaine/crazywoman.
Anyone else think that's the last ever episode? Certainly got that feeling at the closing credits.
