TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Know we are behind the curve, but started watching Afterlife last night. Brilliant, hooked after 1 episode.

Really admire how Gervais can write such a funny series based on such a sad and moving situation.

Finished Narcos Mexico 1 last night - loved it obviously. Not done any Narcos before so should I head back to the start or to Mexico 2?

The original Narcos is a brilliant show, but if you have stared with Mexico (also great), I would continue with season 2. Then regard Narcos as a sort of prequel show.

After finishing all the Narcos I’d say start the original now then go back to the Mexico one. How Mexico ends could spoil the enjoyment of the original series.

Re-watching the first two series now so I can jump straight into the third one. Absolute genius. The bit in the first episode of Series 2 where he interviews the 100-year-old woman is just epic. God knows how many out-takes there must have been from doing that scene.

Just finished Reacher. Not really sure why it needed 8 episodes. It just felt like a low budget paint by numbers series. They would have been better spending the budget on making a decent movie.

Mmm, has a point there.

It was bubblegum, but mostly pretty good. The lead started to parody himself somewhat, and the other cast were pretty good so carried it along.

As with most, just getting to the end of Reacher (good) and Ozark Part 1 (excellent).

Will look Raising Dion (S2), The Responder, Billiions next, plus anything left field.

Yeah, I’m trying to decide what it would be like watching Mexico first. Doesn’t the original Narcos finish in Mexico right at the very end? I can’t remember it’s been that long lol.

Just found out that there are 3 spin off from Power, that isbnow finished. Power Book II: Ghost, focused on the son Tariq; III:Raising Kanan - a prequel set in the 90s about Kanan Stark (50 Cent in Power) and IV: Force, with only first episode out and the one that looks most appealing, following Tommy Egan!

I watched the first two episodes of This is Going to Hurt, an adaptation of the book of the same name by Adam Kay. Funny and poignant and a bit darker than I remember the book being. Promising start though.

Just finished Reacher, not sure about it to be honest, easy enough watching I suppose.
I haven't read the books so maybe that's got something to do with it.

Minor frustration in that to truly appreciate the new Star Wars universe and all the spin-off shows, I need to watch Rebels and Clone Wars. Cartoons aimed at kids (no you don't need to do the next line, I know it).

Rebels and the bad Batch and the later seies of Clone Wars are less kid orientated. Problem they have is that these are the only series they have with any form of established characters outside of the original trilogy. On the plus side, Disney Plus do tend to put out lists of the specific episodes you need to watch to pick up the back story of these characters. The Cad Bain ones are actually pretty good. it is worse when the character has only appeared in the comics such as the sheriff of the Wookie Bounty Hunter.
