Ahsoka, it's cracking tbh

Fisk on Netflix. A 30 minute Aussie comedy. Thought I'd try another after the success of Colin. Anyway, so far so good.

Watched this a couple of weeks back, binged over a couple of evenings. Really enjoyed it.

Working my way back through Weeds again from the start. On Freevee via Amazon Prime. Still enjoying it second time round.

Ooh sounds good - put it in my watch list

 

[Voyager EMH]

We have just finished all seven series of Inspector Morse, now for Lewis!

... and then Endeavour?
It really is the best one of the three - all very good.
"Mind how you go."

 

[Voyager EMH]

The Woman in the Wall. Quite dark and also the backstory of the mother and baby homes and Magdallen laundries in Ireland. Enjoyable if disturbing.

Just watched first two episodes - going to see it through.
Saw the film, The Magdalene Sisters, a few times over the years.
Very disturbing how some people can so horribly mistreat others with a pretence of religious do-gooding. And get away with it for such a long time. Then attempt to cover it all up.

Yes, we'll get there eventually!

Unfortunately S2 is on ITVX so it's adverts galore, great series though

Watched a couple of episodes so far, really enjoying it.

Also watched Painkiller on Netflix over the weekend, also very good.

They're re-running "I, Claudius" on BBC. I'm going to watch them through again. A great series if you haven't seen it.

 

[spongebob59]

Fortitude, missed it first time round so giving it a watch now.

Spooky. We dug out our dvd's of the series and rewatched it a couple of weeks ago.

Very late in starting to watch The Sopranos (only just got access to it). It's fine, entertaining, and perfectly watchable - but after half a dozen episodes or so, I'm not getting why it's regarded as being one of the best ever TV dramas. No sure if I'm missing something in it?

It’s overrated but it’s also a slow burn. The character development and subtle machinations of the main characters is what really keeps it going. Stick with it.

i certainly wouldn't call it overrated. especially when you consider when it was made and the quality of other dramas at that time and was at the start of the era when TV (especially US) went from average rubbish to sucking the life out of cinema and the start of the TV takeover

I see it routinely discussed as the best TV show ever. I don’t believe it’s in that conversation.

It’s No1 for me.
But I watched it at the time.

I tried watching The Wire last year & couldn’t get into it.
