TV Series - What Are You Watching?

We have now watched four episodes of Chernobyl - awesome and quite frightening really as it actually happened...so close to absolute mega disaster.

One episode to go but can 100% agree with the plaudits others here have given it as a 'Best of 2019'. I would not have watched if I had not read how highly others here thought of it - so many thanks guys...

The new Queen on The Crown season 3 was very good on a UK cop show not too far back. Another show too. I can't think of either title or even the lady's name right now but they were all quite good.

I like UK TV in general. Lots of good actors and screenplay writers.

In fact, the only real bad English actor/actress that comes immediately to mind is Patsy Kensit. I can never forget her performance with one of the Baldwin brothers in Bitter Harvest (early 90s). You have to see it to believe it...especially her attempt at an American deep south accent near the end. But she looked nice--still does at 50 or so.

I really like Eva Green. She's a French actress but has no discernible accent speaking English. Most Americans probably think that she's English. She was even good in Penny Dreadful where she mostly kept on her clothes.

To be fair I am not sure that many here or the wider UK would put Patsy Kensit anywhere whatsoever in their actress rankings...in fact some of us might not actually consider her much of an actress at all - most will simply know her name and some will know her as Liam Gallagher's ex.

Blake's 7 - the full series is on YouTube. It's terrible - plot holes everywhere - just like Dr Who in the late 70s. But it's maddingly addictive.

I remember her as the lead singer of Eighth Wonder - "I'm not scared"

Just finished the Witcher, lots of nice boobs to see, lots of Mr Cavill for the ladies but im left feeling rather meh about the whole thing. Maybe i expected more and fail to see how some were saying it surpasses GoT because for me it really doesn't and the multiple time lines unless you figure that out quickly can confuse people

I'm going to watch. Though it'll most likely just be me as Mrs Hogie wasn't grabbed by Ep 1.

Just didn't find myself vested in it or bothered where it was going next as it didn't seem to know itself. Plus 2 years to wait for series 2 makes you wonder is it worth bothering as by the time new season comes out a lot will be forgotten. Don't think I'll bother with series 2

I have just finished it and really enjoyed it. I think I enjoyed it more than most as I haven't watched GoT. Going to watch that in 2021 then the hype will of died down and I won't be expecting to much ??

the whole girl in the woods bit not that gripping, but Yenniffer is a bit more interesting

People still watch tv yet 11m is half the numbers watching? They just are not counting allowing for modern viewing methods.

Seems it’s the most watched comedy in 17 years - it’s done well

Why would kids prefer to watch TV on an i pad instead of a 70" screen?

Why would they rather to listen to music on an i pod instead of a decent audio system?
I use mine for the TV audio as well.

I think that this generation is regressing.

No problem with the accumulated figure, that is a proper amount and worth boasting about. 11m, pah, 17m, fair play ?

Dracula. Two great episodes followed by an absolute duffer. They didn't know how to end it so made a total mess of it. A real shame.

If anyone fancies it then genuinely watch the first 2 but then just stop. The two leads were excellent imo.

You beat me to it, that last episode was a proper stinker.
When the lawyer turned up i couldn't believe it, felt like a crap episode of Dr Who in the end ?

Deputy, on Fox TV new American gritty cop series ep 1 was good, looks promising.

Just catching up on last years SAS Who dares wins before the new season starts tomorrow.

Started watching Life on Mars last night on the BBC iPlayer. Absolutely brilliant. Not seen it since it was first on telly back in 2006. If you have never seen it, it is a must watch, although it does help if you were born in the 60's or 70's as some of the comedy is dependent on the watcher knowing the history of that time period.

Watching Gold Digger on iplayer at the mo. Interesting thus far as each episode looks at the story from a different persons perspective.
