TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Great show. Tom Davis was very good in it. Depends a lot on the guest. I really enjoyed the episodes with Dermot O’Leary, Chris Kamara and the guy from Made in Chelsea.

Yeah - episode one was the Made In Chelsea guy and it was funnier purely because he couldn't keep a straight face. I think the less professional the guest is, and the more the break character and laugh through the scenes, the more funny it is really. It's just infectious.

Just Started The Sandman. 3 episodes in and very enjoyable. Something a bit different.

Great series. Having worked in pharma it makes me feel glad we have the systems we have in place in UK and Europe.
I really like the way they intertwine the pharma/regulatory story with the real life example. Very clever

The series was very accurate to real life as well, judging from the Wikipedia pages on the topic. Showed just how corrupt the US legal system is, with them basically paying everyone off, plus getting things approved by the FDA by offering people jobs!

The FOLLOWING on freevee starring Kevin Bacon, is worth a watch

Started watching it last night..... fell asleep halfway through, not sure if I can be bothered to go back and catch up It didn't really grab me, but I want to like it...I'm sure I will go back at some point

I'm in.... watched the second episode last night and am liking it.

We just watched THE DEFEATED. It's eight episodes on Netflix. It's a drama set in post WWII Berlin. An NYC police detective is sent there to help the Germans rebuild their police force in the American sector. Pretty grim and sad, but I'm guessing it accurately reflects how things were back then.

Shetland on the beeb. As with the last 3 or 4 series, it has been brilliant thus far, superbly written.

Biggest compliment is that the last 3 or 4 series have been 6 episodes of 1 hour each. Ordinarily this would seem way too much but with Shetland it seems to work.

On BBC4 - Sunset Song (1971).

I would rate the Lewis Grassic Gibbon book (the first of his A Scots Quair trilogy) as probably my all-time favourite book. This will be the first time I have watched the BBC series since it was first shown way back then, and I watched with my parents.

Despite many readings I still well up as I read the closing chapter as we read of the Mearns community remembrance of their menfolk lost in the war - I read it every year on Remembrance Sunday.

The Rings of Power, Episodes 1 & 2.
Excellent so far, think it could be one of them were you are better watching close together with so much going on.
Time will tell.

Hadn't realised the first episode I watched was from the 5th series so have back tracked to the start - very funny - Two Doors Down.

Just finished series 1 and on episode 2 of next. Far fetched (or is it?) Brilliant though.

Got bored after the first episode but second was better. The continual background atmospheric music is off-putting for me.

It was a slow start, but can only see it getting better!!

Watched the first episode last night after seeing your post. Very good, with Holliday Grainger an added bonus, wish they'd bring out the next series of Strike.

Kleo on Netflix and also Boston Legal on Disney +

Tried The Terminal List on Amazon Prime. Really good first two episodes.

Just finished The Sandman and really enjoyed it. Episode 6 is just one of those episodes that will stay in the mind long after it has ended.

Yeah, we really enjoyed Strike, a very good series.
