TV Series - What Are You Watching?

How are you getting on with Strangers?

Me and Mrs Hogan have struggled on to end of Episode 6, and we rather groaned when we found out there were 8 episodes. But it's one of these things. It might be hard going, slow as blazes, dialogue pretty rubbish and just so improbable - and Simm is IMO not great in this - overacting LR&C - but we have invested so much time getting to end of Ep6 we feel we have to just see it out

I gave up after 5 episodes as it was just dragging on - good job now I know there's 8!

Informer on iPlayer more than worthy of a watch...

Daredevil season 3 is outstanding

Agree, just over half way through and enjoying it. That and The Punisher are standout Marvel/Netflix series. Not too disappointed that Iron Fist and Luke Cage have been cancelled

Interesting about Luke Cage. I have tried 6 or so episodes and just can't warm to it.

Goliath on Amazon Prime. Binge watched most of season 2 this weekend but ran out of time to watch the last episode last night (must watch tonight). Really like this drama

Re-watching Red Dwarf. Once Robert Llewelwyn arrives as Kryten, it really takes off and is smegging brilliant.

That's one show I never found funny. I wanted too, but just not me....

Finally finished Limitless on Netflix. Vey enjoyable, a bit different. Well worth a try.

Mrs has me watching The Haunting of Hill House on netflix, watched 3 episodes so far. Horror isn't really my things as I dont normally scare with tv/fim (standing over a 3 foot putt for par is far scarier!) but it's an interesting enough drama, jumps around in time zones a bit too much for me but the spooks and frights are pretty decent, you know they're coming but they get you anyway, will confess to getting the odd shiver. Will stick with it for a bit longer 6.5/10 so far.

I've just finished the series and was left underwhelmed, but I think more because it was given such outlandish reviews.

For a broadcastable TV series I think it was a good story and the end episode answered a lot of questions but left doors open. The scares were moderate at best... but I am fairly desensitized to horror these days.

Whoa, I didn't know that was out now?? We still have several episodes of Luke Cage series 2 to get through, it's quite a dull series by comparison. DareDevil is certainly the best.

Watched the first episode of There She Goes - new David Tennant and Jessica Hynes comedy/drama on BBC4 about a family with a disabled child. There were indeed some amusing moments - but they were brief moments of light relief from what was actually quite a difficult watch with I thought superb performances from Tennant and Hayes as the struggling parents trying to cope with and love their disabled daughter. So tough that it actually drew a few tears at one point - will defo watch the 2nd Ep.

Finished Ozark season 2. Pretty good, perhaps a little silly.

Now on to The Punisher.

Think there's 2 episodes too many. the latest episode was interesting but it has taken too long to get there.

I think Bodyguard has ruined me as I'm finding other dramas rather lacking.

Strangers: too many episodes, plot too ponderous.

Killing Eve: what was the whole point of what was going on? And the bungling, keystone cops nature of Eve and her gang was perennially irritating.

The Cry: The moving back and forth in time just didnt work for me as it drained the drama out of the story. Seemed like the writers were trying to be too clever.


All of which is probably too critical but two dramas have been standout for me in the last year to 18 months: Rellik and Bodyguard. Both had me gripped.

Going in for Line of Duty now.

Line of Duty 👍🏻
Same people that did Bodyguard.and better imo.

Killing Eve. Can’t make my mind up.
The assassin is easy on the eye tho 😃
