TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Fromtherough]

We’ve recently signed up to Disney+ primarily for our daughter. However, I had a nice little schedule planned out starting with watching the Marvel films in chronological order. That plan is out the window for now as my wife realised 16 series of Grey’s Anatomy is on there. It’s actually good, but... 16 series... (plus another 2 on Sky I think).

Could be in the footie thread but I am hooked on Big Match Revisited, oh the memories!

If you haven't worked in a factory then you wont appreciate clever stuff like that. That programme shows lots of clever tricks that solve seemingly difficult and irritiating problems. Think of it like a computer programme that does a job in seconds that previously took you 4 hours. There is some brilliant engineering solutions shown and the best are usually the simple ones.

Cheaters on BBC. Raunchy, funny and only 10 minutes each episode - what's not to like!

Suspicion on AppleTV. First two episodes are pretty decent.

Part way through Series 1 of "Marvellous Mrs Maisel" Some cracking humour.

A tape? Do you live in the 80’s?

You jammy thing. I watched this from the start. It's brilliant. The best episode is in a later series, it had me crying with laughter.

We’ve been watching “unbelievable” on Netflix.
About 4 episodes in and so far so good

Finished Chloe (BBC) last night. Bit frustrating as we didn’t really get it, or get the ending. Plus found the use of text messaging shown simply as a shot of phone screen a pain, as they were often unclear and difficult to read, we were having to rewind and pause to read texts - and sometimes they were important to the storyline. Just do what other films and progs are doing and pop text messages onto the screen so we can read them easily.

Once we were done with Chloe and had given up trying to work it out we started watching Inventing Anna…I guess similar to Chloe though we didn’t realise it.

And I decided to watch Reacher…for when not watching with my Mrs as she’s not at all interested in boys TV. So watched first episode yesterday…is the Reacher character of the books really like his adaptation depiction? Fun to watch but doubt I could be bothered reading.

I started the new series of Always Sunny In Philadelphia the other day. Series 15 - apparently this makes it the longest running live-action comedy of all time! They were on good form in ep 1 as usual. I find the humour much more British-tinged (i.e. sarcastic, cynical, mean-spirited) than the typical American comedy show.

Just finished TRAVELLERS, a fantasy Sci-Fi on Netflix, a bit silly at times but enjoyable.

IMO the books are better than the film but the actor in this case looks the part.

Agreed but they are all basically modern era westerns in the main (except those ones where it is contrived that he re-joins/works with the military), lone gunslinger/marhshall arrives to clear up problems in a small town.

I might have to give this another go. I watched the first series and thought it was a bit ‘meh’. But my friend loves it and said it only really got going when Danny Devito joined the cast.

It's amazing how many American comedies have a slightly weaker first season. They often seem to use it to test the water and then change up the dynamics from season 2 onwards. It's true of American Office and Parks & Recreation, just to name another two. Not that the first series is bad, but Danny is definitely a great addition.

That is a superb drama, and harrowing to know that it is a true story. The three main leads Kaitlyn Dever, Toni Collette and Merritt Weaver are all excellent in it.
