TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[shortgame]

I started on this in December when i was off work post surgery, got through most of season 1 and it sort of had me engaged but have drifted off it, should I keep going?

Started on Prison Break recently, watched a few, realised the actual escape wan't until episode 20 so skipped to there and a couple episodes after that but upon seeing there is 80+ shows to get through (more than game of thrones) I have psychologically given up already.

Sex Education on Netflix is a good watch (but not with your parents or kids), there's only 8 episodes too!

Yeah definitely keep going with Ozark

I got through much of Prision Break a while ago, felt like torture towards the end as it got dafter and dafter.

Why on Earth would you do that? The whole series is about how they plan the escape and the obstacles that keep cropping up - you've totally wiped out one of the best first series you could hope to find. It's downhill after the first series but it's worth watching to the end IMO, but not if you just want to skip to actual escape episodes!

Just watched three series of The Durrell’s What a great programme to watch on a cold miserable January.

Now to book up a holiday in Corfu.

Not sure, sat through a few from start and it was just dragging too much for me, as I said I then saw there were 80 odd episodes and bailed. Had too much of that old style filming where there are police cars 50 yards behind them when they're running to the plane, the plane takes off without them, then they start legging it into a field (after running for about 2 hours).....and suddenly the cops aren't behind them anymore, episode ends, start of next one they are in barn or shed with 100 police, dogs and chopper having lost them apparently. As for Sacre and getting his severed forearm/hand re-attached by the local vet with no anaesthetic..........hmmmm.

Don't worry it gets much much worse

Haha fair enough, it obviously wasn’t for you but I found that first series incredibly fast paced with loads of fantastic cliffhangers.

I know what he means, first time I watched Titanic I just skipped to the part where the boat sank. In Breaking Bad they said he had cancer so I just skipped to the episode where he died.

I wish I'd done that, watching that film in full was torture

With herself going to bed early unwell... And, in need of cheering up after watching the footie... Knowing the first of the new season featured American muscle cars thought I'd give it a watch... Despite the best (worst) efforts of the nauseous hosts I actually found myself enjoying the viewing experience... Even got a bit of American social history included... Not sure I'll bother with any of the future programs... But, begrudgingly I'll admit, possibly more because the cars were so good, I enjoyed last nights viewing...

Well thanks for the spoilers

2 hugely different ones. The Ted Bundy files on Netflix. Fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Well worth a watch.

Norsemen on Netflix. Only seen a few but funny and different so far. I hope it keeps it up.

Finally started watching Better Call Saul, not bad.

At the moment I have a weird addiction for watching Death in Paradise, never seen it until recently and enjoyed it so started on the full back catalogue, being ill Thursday and Friday I managed to watch the first 2 seasons back to back.

New fella is a bit crap, it's gone too slapstick for my liking. Still watch it though.

Definetly enjoyed the first 2 series with Ben Miller, just started on series 3 with Chris Marshall.

It is weird seeing Ardel O'Hanlon playing a part that's not a dimwit Irish priest though

He can't really act can he? He's wooden.

I don't think this show would last if broadcast at any other time but it is always shown around January and a Caribbean island on tv is champion compared to the UK at this time. It's formula tv but harmless.

If Richard E Grant can get an Oscar nomination then the bar is not being set very high for being considered an actor nowadays...

I'd agree with that and extend it to quite a few people who make it on to the big and small screens. You can start with most of the people on soaps for starters.

Great entertainment 👍
