TV Series - What Are You Watching?

I indulged my nostalgia side and got myself up to date with the Quantum Leap sequel series. It’s throw away fun. Many will be offended by it but they’ll miss out on some poignant throw backs.
 
Hello, erm, Pie? There are many accusations of box ticking with the characters.

Ah right, I did a little google after posting and I thought you was referring to the subject matter. Seems like the makers might have done a bit of a Bud Light trying to be “inclusive”…

Haven’t seen that episode yet actually. Don’t think it’s that far along yet on my streaming app of choice. I’ve seen them taking flack for having an Asian main character, a black mission lead, a female Asian team member and a transgender lead scientist.
 
Four episodes into Quarterback and loving it, right up my street. Mahomes is a bit annoying at times but he's some player 👌
Finished the series last night. Really enjoyed it, love these types of programmes. Ha it was more Mahomes’ wife that annoyed me - well apart from his voice. It was doing my head in who he sounded like. I settled on Seth Rogen, but still not sure I’ve nailed it.
 
Episode 7 was a well needed follow up after that ep

It really is a fantastic show

Yep. Watched 7 & 8 last night and they were pure joy. Can't praise the show enough, it's really well shot with some great camera work too. I simply love everything about it though, it does a lot with very little.

The last episode is fantastic… loads of satisfying call backs to the frantic episode of last series
 
Just finished superstore. What an utterly brilliant series from start to finish

Wrapped up all the sub stories in a nice bow

6 series felt enough rather than shows that limp on too long
 
Just finished S1 of Succession. At last found something that I like that my Mrs likes also…or is it that my Mrs likes it and so do I…anyway onwards with S2.

Meanwhile just started Traitors Australia and it’s looking like it has a good set of characters in the contestants; and also now into S2 of Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009)…neither of which my Mrs is watching…though she may join me in watching Traitors as I’m sure she’d enjoy it.

The Bear looks like something me a Mrs could watch together 👍

Finished the latest season of Jack Ryan. The plot holes have got bigger the more series they do and the last episode had some whoppers. Jack has also gone from a somewhat fumbling desk analyst to a top notch field agent without anyone really noticing or commenting. I liked the awkward version, that made it a bit different. It filled a gap though.
