TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[User62651]

Got through a series and a half of The OA. Struggling to pay attention now, different universal dimensions thing, ok but not great.

Still working through Borgen - still enjoying.

Best tv show (not series) I've seen past 3 or 4 weeks was easily Gordon, Gino and Fred going to Lapland on itv. It was really very good. Available on catchup.
3 middle aged men acting like 16 year olds in a foreign land in the snow, what's not to like, has some nods to the best Top Gear episodes of a few years ago. Gino DiCampo is a very funny man.

Just started watching Star Trek Discovery on Netflix. Half way through second series, not like any other series of this name, brilliant.

I watched this earlier and had a good chuckle

The history of swearing is on Netflix tomorrow - might watch that to see if I can learn a few new words for when I next see @Lilyhawk

Now that’s sounds like a great documentary to watch. I’m sure @Captainron would take a keen interest watching that as well...

Not a series, but watching the Jimmy Tarbuck bio on Channel 5
And having a good old chuckle

Beyond on Netflix. Good start but going south now. Can see why it was cancelled after series 2.

Been watching the colourised story of World War 2 - really interesting and cant wait to see who wins!

No doubt, like most films, the Americans will come to the rescue

I'd posted about that two weeks ago. You must have missed it.

We need another Scandi one to watch.

just finished Valhalla, enjoyed it. Maybe I’m watching too many of these now, I called it early doors, and sad as it is, we’ve started predicting what the main characters are going to do as each episode unfolds, Valhalla was very predictable in that sense towards the end.

We had a look at the Sandhamm murders on Amazon Prime last night, a Swedish detective series. It wasn't the worst ever, but it was more like a Swedish version of Midsummers Murders than a scandi noir type detective series. Watched the first season, only 3 x 40 min episodes, hugely predictable, and tons of continuity bloopers in the final episode, I don't think we'll continue with the next 7 seasons.... now looking for something a bit darker, there's a couple of French ones on Netflix to look at.

Maybe perfect timing

The Belfast-set crime series that everyone will be talking about in 2021

Me and Mrs SILH finished off Series 4 of The Crown last night. Interesting, in it's way, portrait of a unique and dysfunctional family, and sad to reflect and look back on how events unfolded.

Next up if Mrs gets her way (which she will) is Bridgerton (on Netflix).

I've still got 200 pages of Parade's End to go before we can watch that on iPlayer (it's a 906 page monster of a book). But that'll fit with watching Bridgerton.

We've seen that before and agree with you. Might have been on BBC 4 ages ago. DNA, I posted about was very good. Do you have Amazon Prime? We've binge watched Darkness: Who Kills this weekend.

Watched the ripper series on Netflix over the weekend, didn't realise how incompetent the detectives on the case were ?

Only recently got Netflix, have you got the titles please?

Watched the first episode of the Serpent on iplayer last night. Seems reasonable thus far.

We stuck with episode two but the back and forth on the timeline is driving me mad!

The Break was pretty good, Actually Belgian though. La Forêt was also very good. Have Black Spot and The Frozen Dead queued. Border Town is excellent, also Deadwind is very good, as is Borgen.
