TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Just started Peaky Blinders. Been looking forward to watching it.

Two episodes in now..

Honestly though it’s a typical British cliche ridden poop drama.

The script is terrible and the accents are shocking.

It looks the part though. Nice to see they have spent a few quid on it.

Perhaps I am being over critical, however I suppose when I compare British drama to the might of HBO, then nothing stands a chance.

Exactly what I thought two years ago when I started watching it. Gave up after two episodes.

A few weeks ago decided to go back to it and finished the whole thing. It was brilliant. Plots go to the extreme and are frankly outrageous. Think they were trying to remake Bugsy Malone in the 4th season. Overall very, very good though.

We watched the first two of Girlfriends. Ooooo there's some poor acting in this.

My wife goes upstairs to watch this, voluntarily as she knows it is pap and doesn't want me to know quite how bad it is. Even she has said it is poor and normally she likes this sort of programme. Kay Mellor churns this stuff out every year. Same characters, different names, same caricature issues. Awful stuff, by numbers. Don't know how she gets re-commissioned.

I can confirm that the latest version was indeed excellent. If you have not come across Inside Number 9 before it is well worth a watch. it is kind of a Tales of The Unexpected for the 21st century, with every episode a stand alone one with some twist at the end. They are all done by 2 of The League of Gentlemen and are sometimes horror inflected, there is always some humour in them but also can also be incredibly poignant and emotional. half of the fun is guessing what the twist will be which I never get, but they are all superb bits of TV. The last one is called 'Bernie Winter's Dressing Room' and it is funny and very moving. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09m61xl But don't read any reviews first as it may well give the twist away.

And watch this episode as well, money back guarantee that you will enjoy it and then want to watch it again. But you'll have to be quick as it goes off the iPlayer tomorrow I think. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b05pwfcf

Hate to bang on about it but this weeks episode was yet again superb. More packed into 30 mins then most series manage. Genuinely think this series is the best 30 mins of TV you will see in a long time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09p5rbj

Is that the ITV kids series? What channel is it on? I've stumbled across UFO on Forces TV which took me back. A Gerry Anderson crossover between real actors and the techniques from Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet

The Tomorrow People, produced by Warnerbros.co.uk, Series 1, 22 episodes started Feb 2017, i stumbled across it by accident on my firestick. A bit predictable at times , but give it a try .:thup:
Series 2 is being made.

I just watched the first three episodes of Derry Girls.

I was unsure initially after just 5 minutes but then laughed a lot during the first one but it failed badly in the second episode and flatlined in the third one.

I’m really on the fence whether to give it another go.........
