TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Kellfire]

My issue with Russian Doll was that I felt no empathy towards the main character. She was a horrible, vacuous woman. But *SLIGHT SPOILER HERE* when they introduced the man, he was likeable and it instantly made the series improve for me because I actually cared for them from that point on.

The whole series was up on iPlayer so me and the missus watched the first four episodes. We only watched series 1 a couple of months ago on Netflix so it was fresh in our minds still. I actually think the second series is even funnier at times. Really good comedy.

Watched ep 1 & 2 last night.
Brilliant 😂

Yeah, we only wanted to watch the first couple, but the missus wouldn't let me turn it off so we ended up doing 4 eps, lol. I'm really hoping that new female character gets her comeuppance at the end, but she seems to have the upper hand thus far. There were some real tear-jerker moments as well when they give you insights into Fitzpatrick's life... Actually feeling sorry for him.

Shetland is as good as ever.

Indeed. Jimmy Perez looks like he's gonna deck someone at any given point! Very good story though.

After life.
Gervais is up there with the best.

 

[Kellfire]

Just watched After Life from start to finish - no doubt, Gervais is the best British TV writer ever. No one can capture human emotion like he can. No one.

The Expanse on Amazon Prime. Good start and tasty 4K HDR picture t’boot.

New series of Midsomer Murders begins on ITV tonight. Its by no means as good as when Bergerac was in charge but still worth a watch.

It's a wonder anyone is left in the village

Fleabag on BBC 4 really funny.

Cunk on Britain.

Just finished true detective series 3

I thought that series one was one of the best things I’ve ever seen on television.

Series two was largely stagnant and even though I consider myself a man with an ability to understand complex situations... I was totally lost after 6 episodes and a few glasses of Whisky.

By that point I never really gave a monkeysabouf any of the characters so I chinned it off.

Series 3 however.

Ooooofffff

It’s a cracker. I’m not overly familiar with Mahershala Ali’s Back catlougue

But he’s absolutely brilliant in this.

As good a performance as matthew mcconaughey’s In the first one.

He was an idiot at the end of that episode though 🙄

Finished After Life last night. It's an absolute joy. Gervais at his very best. Fantastic cast (anything with David Earl in is a winner for me), beautifully written story, brilliantly funny, it's just perfect. I loved it.

Formula 1 - Drive to Survive (Netflix). If you're into your motor sport then you'll enjoy this! Watched first 5 back-to-back last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some fantastic racing shots that you don't really see on TV coverage and also offers a great insight into the what goes on behind the scenes - lots of driver talk you'll definitely not hear on air, during a race, too! All in glorious 4k HDR and Atmos. You'll also see what a c0ck Christian Horner is!

Really late to the party as we've only just got Netflix. Got the Sunderland doc on the go aswell as Staircase and How to make a murderer. Ace.

Looks like me and Mrs P are going to watch After Life soon. This will be a challenge for me as find RG so irritating and smug. Still, I will give it a fair crack.

This time with Alan Partridge
He’s still got it 😂

Cheat on ITV1 - started last night and quite promising.
