TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Have just finished watching all of The Orville, two series and 26 episodes. New series later this year hopefully as it is just brilliant . Plenty of drama and humour and a great parody and homage to star trek

Agree love it. More star trek than any of the recent star trek series. Bit like galaxy quest, a respectful parody/homage.

The actor is German apparently, moved around France and Switzerland as a child. That would explain the stilted accent. I can roll with that, remember the character was taken and then raised in Daneland ?. He has a good look though. Not as physically imposing as in the books but when he is in battle scenes, I've just seen a real doozer, he fits the role very well. I'm on the current series and it is a really good one so far.

finished all 4 seasons of The Last Kingdom. Despite a rocky start, based more on my opinion of the lead and some small things that affected my own OCD, came to really enjoy it. It’s not quite Game of Thrones, but if you like sword battles, it’s pretty epic. Battles and fights in almost every episode, with some very good production, plenty of real actors in the fight scenes, didn't notice any CGI to make the armies seem bigger. There are Things that can be pulled apart, but overall, thoroughly recommend it, really hoping they make a 5th season, otherwise I may be forced to try my hand at reading books again ?
 
We just subscribed to Britbox and we love it. So far, we've watched episodes of Midsomer Murders, Sherlock Holmes (the Granada series), As Time Goes By, Have You Been Served and MI-5. Currently, we're watching Hig Seas on Netflix. Streaming has been a Godsend during our stay-at-home period.
 
Watched the whole of Last Dance again in one sitting .......... this time whilst trying to wear my original Bulls jersey. Didn't fit , so had it laid out next to me on the sofa...:LOL:

Just started Space Force. Only 2 episodes in but really enjoying it.

Half way through season two. It is very good, better than I thought.

If anything, as it goes on the comedy element drops back and it becomes just a playful homage to Star Trek. Another one here who was surprised how it has developed.

Watched the first episode at the weekend, can't say it really grabbed me. No laughs, just a Star Trek lookalikey, a bit meh really.
 
Quite enjoying Series 1 of Race Across the World - though contrived it is making me feel the glass half full on future travel as it is pointing out that I can travel and see much of the world from the UK without the need for air travel.

And it has got me thinking about the attraction of slow travel and longer holidays, in which the travel to where I am going becomes part of the holiday - rather than flying from UK to wherever for short (one week or less) breaks. Also lifting to the spirits seeing some places that we visited last year on our own travels, and so grateful that we were able, and took the opportunity, to do it.

RAtW - a lot contrived certainly - but some nice 'human interest' stories and so will watch Series 2

Finished the 3rd series of Killing Eve last night, always good fun, really really enjoyed it.

This was definitely better than series 2, more comedy killing from Villenelle, or however you spell it. I'd happy if that was the last one though. I think they are running out of steam and it would be a good time to stop. Mind, I still don't think we saw an episode and did not shout, please just do it, Kill Eve :LOL:

Pretty sure series 4 is being lined up. They have different writers for each series so you never know, it could be a return to form of series 1.
 
Just finished Last Dance, completely riveting all the way, top top program right up there with the best things I've seen.
Before watching it I didn't know the outcome of the 98 season so I'm now free to Google to my hearts content about MJ and the other players featured, self imposed basketball ban has been removed :LOL:
 
I've found myself developing a weird interest in The Great British Sewing Bee! Maybe it's because I have never been able to sew. I recall at school our first sewing project was a school apron for home economics (that ages me!). Mine was never finished.
