TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[williamalex1]

On Netflix 55 minute episodes, you can pause /stop it anytime. It's the pre Breaking Bad story, but a bit slow to start and more laid back.
There's been 5 series so far, series 6 due out next year
It has humour, drama and love interest.

I have been watching the Nevers so far so good bit worried about Old Boomer's comment

and

I have been watching Intergalactic (sky) also so far so good but I am sucker for SciFi. A bit like Blakes 7 in some ways.

The first few series of Not Going Out on iPlayer. Brilliant.

I found myself watching the last episode of "To the Manor Born" last night - that was just a harmless, clever and funny show - well-written, well-acted. Back in the days when life was a lot simpler.

Then I watched "Have I Got News For You" - very funny but with the worst guest they have ever had. Where did they dig up that awful Scottish woman from? She even made Wee Krankie listenable.

The Detectorists got mentioned on here ages ago so we watched the first couple of episodes last year, it was ok but I thought it was just another quaint British TV comedy and we didn't watch any more.
How wrong was I, we've just binged the first two series and it's right up there with the best thing I've seen. Just on to the Christmas special and can't wait to get stuck into series 3.

Hard to explain how something like this is so good unless you watch it. Pure pleasure

100%, it has a certain charm without being at all cheesy or overly dramatic.

So good, we binged through it a second time pretty much right after finishing it the first time.

And then there was this

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (1979) - on BBC iPlayer.

I think golfers might get it as we all have a bit of obsessive geekiness in us...just as the detectorists have over their equipment and where they do their detectoring.

And I loved how they got the very lovely Rachael Stirling to play Becky, the wife of ubergeek and very ordinary and unemployed bloke Andy (Mackenzie Crook). A bit of every lads fanciful dreaming - Andy punched above his weight and hit gold...and i think we all love that - she loves him for who he is not what he is or what he looks like. And we all have a mate like Lance...has his life issues but is an absolutely genuine and top bloke.

The Kominsky Method season 3. First episode made me laugh out loud more than I have done for a while.

The last Question of Sport with Sue , Matt and Tuffers ?

They have been superb and it’s big shoes to fill

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy was on over the bank holiday weekend.
Best TV series ever

Next season of Bosch out on June 25th ??

What did people make to the end of Mare of Easttown last night?
I thought it was a very slow episode, sort of rumbled on and the solution to the murder was a touch disappointing as well, bit of a cop out imo.
Still very very good though, hope they do another season.

It was good but you could tell something was going to happen / enjoyed it overall and hopefully there will be a second season

Yes agree, it seemed half an hour too long. Still a cracking series though. I thought the solution to the murder was ok but they could have wrapped it up much tighter...I had Guy Pearce down for it all along but not even close! ?

Ha ha I never had him down or the eventual killer (no plot spoilers here ?) at any point but I guess watching the clues unfold in the final episode it made sense, it still did seem a bit of a stretch though and just one too many twist for me. Even how she eventually found out the killers identity was a bit naff, I mean really? ?

Had to very quickly ignore last few posts on this thread as we are still watching Mare of Easttown...?

Really enjoyed Mare of Eastown and thought the ending was pretty good - and unexpected. Mare is like another TV Mer (Meredith Grey) - tragedy follows her every step!
