TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Fade and Die]

I know I am late to the party but we have Just finished watching the 1st two seasons of Misfits, really good cheap British TV. The 2nd episode when one of the characters was unaware he was bedding an 82 year old was one of the funniest things I’ve seen for years!
Fully aware it goes badly downhill when they start replacing characters but those 12 episodes were brilliant.

Ok - don't think Miranda is funny or Ricky Gervais.

Might have to re-watch. The show was great for the first two series. The ‘Nathan’ character was brilliant. As soon as he left it wasn’t the same.

He definitely carries the show, much like he does in The Umbrella Academy. Surprised he doesn’t get more work.

RG was (IMO) superb in both After Life and Derek.

Saw an episode of Desmonds the other day. What a belter of a show that was!

Nathan was the best, and it was a shame when he left the series. But I'm a big fan of Joe Gilgun too, and his character(s) is/are pretty great as well when he joined. Series 5 was pretty weak though when there were literally none of the originals left. And the Finn character is awful.

Ah, Bake Off. Apart from the horror of the opening sequence, what the heck was that about, it was on track straight away. It shows the standard they are all at now for the show stopper to be at the level it was on week 1. That would have been a semi final challenge in previous series.

Anyway, I have Jurgen and Giussepe in our work sweep, I'm feeling good about those two (I also have George, lovely but he is not walking away with the trophy )

Dug out the NYPD blue dvds last night , I've got to say this is my favourite series of all time.

12 seasons , 261 episodes.
Should see me through recovery after the surgery ?

Quite enjoyed the opening episode of the new Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Some genuinely funny bits, despite Nish Kumar appearing. I’ll tune in next week to see if I temporarily enjoyed only due to the absence of Phil Jupitus.

And The Office, Extras and Life’s Too Short. The man is a genius.

I've started Manhunter on ITV. Instantly compelling, calmly done. Who could have seen Martin Clunes doing roles like this when he started with Men Behaving Badly. The guy has a superb career under his belt.

Couldn't agree more, We are equally enjoying this.

New Taskmaster last night. Jury is out on this cast. I did laugh a lot at Desiree's balloon task, but otherwise it was a slow start. I'm not sure who's going to stand out from this group. I don't think there's a Wozniak this time. Maybe Alan Davies has potential but we'll see. Victoria could be annoying, trying too hard to show how clever she is already.

Anyone watched the Ted Lasso thingy, won a few awards but I'd never heard of it.

I think it is on Apple tv. Anyone have Apple tv? Nope, me either

We had it free for a bit with my wife's phone but if you want to watch it on an actualy TV you need a ridiculously expensive Apple TV box.

FBI and FBI Most Wanted

Good to see that even after a couple of seasons it’s still enjoyable

Yeah I’m hoping Davies steps up after a quiet opening. I love the show, but it’s heavily dependent on the cast.

I looked on Taskmaster Reddit and everyone there was delighted with the first episode and the cast. I quite like Morgana but that's probably for other reasons. ?

I think I just miss Wozniak. ?
