TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Black Mirror - not seen a bad one yet. Rationing myself to one a week so I can really appreciate them. Got two left in Series 3 now. The Series 2 episode "White Bear" is simply breathtaking television.
 
Watched the first episode of Le Carre’s The Little Drummer Girl last night.
A promising start 👍
 
Agree about the middle challenge. Stupid for the sake of it.

He had two bad weeks but the rest of the time he was the top man. The other two never reached his heights. John and manon were both better than the two women in the final, they just had one bad week each.
 
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.
Hugh, I think you and your misses would enjoy " This is Us " an American easy watching feel good family TV series. Set just after the Vietnam war, but flashes back and forth in time. I'm up to date on EP5 series 3 and still enjoyable, nothing too exciting no blood and guts just easy watching.(y)

This Is Us is up there with the best TV ever for me - well written, superby acted and I really get involved in the characters.
 
Bit slow at start but glad I stuck with it.

I started watching it yesterday and watched 3 episodes in one go. Also having a bit of a hard time making my mind up. I like it, but then I don't, I like it, but then I don't. I'm to invested now though so need to finish it.
 
Bit hehind the curve but watched about 5 episodes of Limitless so far on Netflix, follows on from the movie about NZT drug and limitless cerebral capacity with Brad Cooper (who appears very occassionally in series).
Lead character's story evolves each episode but they also conclude an FBI type investigation each epidose too so there's a long view and a short view to watching it.
Holding my attention so far, 7/10.

I've not long finshed the whole series. I really enjoyed it, a little different and the characters grow on you.
