TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[sunshine]

Agreed. I kept thinking if only they had communicated better that Summer and he'd stayed...and...

That's why it's so good. We know it's not real but wow did it feel it.

Finished watching it yesterday, resisted the temptation to binge so I could treat myself to an episode in the evening. So good I wanted to prolong my enjoyment of the series - hope there is a second series.

Amazingly real and authentic characters, even when they were being infuriating it felt so believable. Brilliant acting, not just the principal characters but the supporting cast too.

My only minor gripe (which didn't impact my enjoyment) was the way they portrayed university life. 19 year olds hosting sophisticated dinner parties... perhaps more aspirational than factual!

Just started watching the first series of Das Boot that’s been on my sky box for over a year

Watched Tiger Woods Back which was on Sky the other night.
Was ok, typical Sky, cheesy music and showing the same clips multiple times.
It made me think that Netflix would have done a far superior job with it.

Im a bit slow as its a few years old now, however just binged all 3 seasons of The Detectorists. Very funny, well written and just nice easy comedy. 8/10.

Been recommended to watch Cardinals on BBC iPlayer, so thought I'd pass it on.
Got Mayans to finish first.

Gone back in to finish off Shooter on Netflix. It’s ok at best.

Second series of The Tunnel, Sabotage. 6 episodes in and it is seriously good. The two leads are excellent, supports are strong and the plots very good. Highly recommended.

That was annoying, a lot of the time you are sat there thinking, hold on, I've seen this bit already. Then when they started showing the same clip 3 times they were taking the mickey. It is as if they tried to make this big important landmark documentary but failed. I struggle with these types of puff pieces as the best documentaries to me are the ones where you are learning new stuff and the story takes unexpected turns (try McMillions, that is great). Trouble with doing one on Tiger is perhaps what else is there to say?

The Tunnel is top drawer, all three seasons. Stephen Dillane and Clemence Poesy are both fantastic in it.

I can tell you what we're not watching. Little Britain. The Thought Police have gotten to that and it's off iPlayer.

Good series, lost a little bit towards the end of the final series (3). Especially when made that .....

I did actually think that was quite racist at the time it was first on and often wondered how they got away with it even back then.

I guess there is no chance of Blazing Saddles ever being shown on British TV again.

 

[badgb21]

Ozark - excellent
Jack Ryan - very good
Bloodline - very good
Queen of the South - good

Ozark - excellent
Jack Ryan - very good
Bloodline - very good
Queen of the South - good

Queen of the South are just one off the bottom of The Scottish Championship!
I'd say - POOR.

Rather like the Sir Matt Busby doc.

Nothing that hadn't been seen many times and no new insight into the man.

Have binge watched the Last Dance on Netflix the last few days, not a basketball fan but thought it was probably the best sports documentary ive watched (also makes you realise how bad tv pics were in those days lol)
