TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Slime]

I stuck with it but it left me cold. I will give it another episode but it needs to grab me quickly next week.

On a similar note, we ended up chatting during the programme about what animal we would have alongside us. My daughter went for a St Bernard, she went for the cuddles, but I went Red Panda. A good compromise I thought of size, agility and cuteness. It would be fun to have chats with animals but at that point we presumably would look at them in a completely different way? Perhaps the fact we had that chat during the programme says a great deal about the programme itself

I feel exactly the same.
The animal I'd have as a companion would be a honey badger, (or velociraptor if we can have extinct ones)!

His Dark Materials. New 8 part epic/drama on BBC1.
20 minutes in and I'm nearly done.



I'd love to be able to talk to my dog, however.

I must admit me and the wife talk through the dog quite often

Finally started watching 'Manifest' on demand from sky last night, 4 episodes back to back and we are hooked! Its a bit silly, but an easy yet intriguing watch!

Don't get too attached to it.

After a weekend of nights I've finished Jack Ryan and got up to season 5 of Power.

Need a new series soon as won't take long to polish off Power.

Watched "His Dark Materials" last night.... seems like a Harry Potter Wannabe for blokes without girlfriends! (I think the books passed me by)

Watched the whole season of Manifest and kept asking ourselves why! (is there another series coming?)

Watched "Frayed"....... Both utter rubbish and very funny at random!!

 

[Midnight]

Don't get too attached to it.

I think it has been renewed for 2nd series.

Having just watched the second episode of Guilt I would give it a big shout out.
Best drama the BBC have done for yonks. Exciting and hilarious at the same time.

Three episodes into Watchmen and it's as superb as I'd hoped. Dark and simmering with just the right amount of references to the graphic novel and film.

I've watched the first 2 episodes and really struggling to get into it - would it help if I had watched the film/read the book?

 

[Robster59]

Pain, Puss & Poison. The kind of programme I enjoy. Fascinating to watch.

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Guilt......unsure if it is Scotland only but it is a superb dark comedy, on a decent budget too.

watching in Surrey - though it seems Surrey is a weird unrepresentative part of England that spends all of it's time on XR marches so little time for watching TV

Enjoyed 1st Ep so will watch 2nd. Darkly amusing indeed.

Snap! Think I'll go back and watch back-to-back.

We tried watching it last night - but both kept dozing off (could just be an age thing). Will try watching that 1st Ep. again.

Yes, you start to understand it at the end of the 2nd episode.

Loved season 1, thought I'd watch episode 1 of season 2 today, I've ended up binge watching 5 episodes back to back. Brilliant series will try and finish it off before the weekend

I got through all of it Saturday night whilst nursing a post rugby hangover.....

I really like that it's not all guns.

That's what I like about it, it plays out more like a thriller than a gung ho yanks shooting everything action flick

Definitely. There are constant references to the previous story and some of the characters return. The film is superb in its own right. The trailer alone still gives me the tingles.

I know most have seen it but started on Better Call Saul. Really like it, better paced than Breaking Bad that could be slow for episodes at a time. Currently on Gardening leave so only watched 34 episodes over the last few days. Only 6 to go

We watched like the first two episodes of that and thought it was dull. Not a patch on BB. We didn't bother with any more.
