TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[louise_a]

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.

I did think last nights episode was pretty intense, although like the first episode of this series it only had a nodding acknowledgement to the original ACD stories, the middle one the Lying Detective did to some extent follow the plot of the Dying Detective.

It did look like that could well be the last series we will see, probably due to Benedict Cumberbatch being popular in Hollywood these days.

Anyone watched Taboo on BBC? Gritty period drama with Tom hardy in, first few episodes are promising

Intense yes but the story was just ridiculous, a bit too close to sci fi for my liking.

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.

I'm quite enjoying it, although your right in that it's more '24' than 'west wing'.

Assuming you have Netflix, but if you have access to amazon prime then alpha house is worth a watch.

The same people who do Sherlock do Dr Who and the same situation has happened there. They have taken a fairly simple set up, over complicated it, made it too clever by half and ruined it. They need to get back to basics and stop disappearing somewhere it shouldn't go. The ending last night screamed last ever and I would be okay with that. It has run its course. A shame because the early episodes were sharp and edgy but still remained believable.

I recorded Endeavour at the same time and I am looking forward to that more than Sherlock.

I was going to say it was like the same writers did both programs, but in jest
Endeavor is good if maybe a tad slow.

 

[BoadieBroadus]

am i alone in trying to struggle through "the man in the high castle"? probably going to call it a day - slower than a week in jail....

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Yes, the same writers, Moffatt and Gatiss. Moffatt has now left Dr Who for the upcoming series so I am hoping they get back on track.

Endeavour is slow, much like Morse, Lewis or Foyles War were. It has its place though and I like the pacing of it along with the characters.

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

I have been enjoying it, but as I'm too deaf to watch TV without subtitles, it takes a lot of concentration for me as there is so much fast dialogue.

 

[User62651]

missed it last year so have been catching up with The Windsors on All4, Harry Enfield is so good as Charles and his Duchy organic biscuits, silly but very funny mickey take imo.

We do have Amazon Prime actually, I'll add it to my long list of shows to watch. Cheers mate.

Yes mate, mentioned a couple of pages back, it's pretty outstanding.

Yes and thoroughly enjoying it.
Certainly not a stereotype.
Tremendous atmosphere.
Sorry folks,I am replying to the post on Taboo!!!!

That was bollocks when it was new so god knows what it must be like now....outdoor scenes were filmed in the famous Dorking sand pit.

I am quite enjoying The Halcyon and Taboo

 

[Fish]

Watched a couple of The Travellers and enjoying it.

Started watching The Killing, thought the 1st episode was a bit slow and couldn't get my ahead around the knob of the new detective taking over who came across like Rodney but glad I stuck with it as the 2nd episode is showing much more promise now.
