TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[need_my_wedge]

Was looking for something light to watch last night with a short runtime. Found LoveSick on Netflix, funny (if a little stupid) premise, enjoyed the first episode and worth staying with. Was looking it up on IMDB as it's an ITV show and has 3 seasons. 8.1 rating on IMDB, but most surprising to me is the actor playing the lead role. Maybe not well known as such, but seems he's quite a talented chap, fans of The Detectorists will know his voice well.

The Long Call, ITV 9pm. New detective show being shown over the week. A bit messy, decent cast. Worth watching for the secenery though. It is is set in Devon, mainly Ilfracombe. Never been to Ilfraccmbe but it looks lovely.

New series of Stath Lets Flats is on tonight. Glorious silly comedy, I loved the first couple of series.

After plenty of recommending, I'm finally watching Ricky Gervais' Afterlife.
I watched the first season on Saturday and I'm now halfway through the second season.
Absolutely superb ................................. in every respect.

Bake Off. And hoping that Giuseppe wins as he's hilarious and looks like a Mario Kart character

Not only is all of this true but I also have him in our work sweep ?. Only Jurgen and his obviously false German accent ? can stop him.

It's been a really good series so far.

The man is a legend. (Giuseppe that is) Is there anything he can't do? He's just schooled everyone in dancing Zorba the Greek. Nice.

And seems like a lovely guy at the same time. No arrogance, no cockiness, just a smiley, happy man who is a very, very good baker.

Brassic. Just incredibly funny and sort of relatable if you grew up in a small village (spirit of community not all the crime capers).

Was in tears laughing at S3 E1 & 2.

Second season done, can't wait for Season 3.

Binged season 1 last night, really enjoying it, funny and made us laugh aloud

Really is funny. I was absolutely peeing myself at bits in the first two seasons. Might need to get Now TV to catch up

Billions season 5 done. Didn't quite hit the mark of others but still good. Series 6 will be interesting with the new dynamic.

Would recommend, as with the first two seasons the best characters (Vinny aside) are Thommo (brilliantly played by Ryan Sampson) and old Farmer Jim.

I'm 4 episodes into Squid Games.

When does it start to become brilliant?

I agree. My first thought was to just end it there but actually the dynamic between the 2 main characters had been going on for 5 series now and so to switch it up a bit may breathe new life into the show.

I loved every episode bar the final one, episode 6 with the marbles ?

Have you seen tug of war? What about lights out? If you are not getting it after those episodes then I suspect the program is not for you.

Marbles is equivalent, for me, to Battle of the .... in GoT

None of the above are spoilers by the way.

Just watched this week's and Chigs has really gone up in my estimations - the way he really tried to help Amanda...well done Chigs!

Not sure it was ever briillant, just intriguing.
I'm not sure I'd bother with a second series
