TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[Ye Olde Boomer]

Cable news. All virus all the time. Nothing else seems to be happening in the world.
They're not even talking about with which team Tom Brady will sign.

Still not sure about The Young Pope. Has anyone else watched it?

Watched a cracking documentary earlier based on the Punisher course that existing Royal Navy submarine officer's have to pass to be passed fit for command of a Sub, if they fail there is no return return their boat and can no longer serve as a submariner of any form instead have to go to surface fleet as no longer fit for the silent service.

With no live sport I have been catching up on unwatched dvds. Just watched first two series of Broadchurch over four nights. Great not having adverts, and trying to remember what happened the week before. Now for series three.

are they Betamax or VHS Rich?

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY on Netflix, weird SciFi fantasy comic book series, about siblings with extraordinary powers.
Watched Ep1, a bit odd to say the least.
Anyone watched it ?

Yes. Saw it all waiting for a grand moment that made sense. In the end it didn't happen and I wish I'd given up on it. I thought it dragged on and what could have been really interesting just wasn't.

You may get more out of it but if they do a series 2 I won't be watching.

We watched about 5 episodes and were thoroughly bored so didn't finish it. Was taking waaaay too long to explain what was going on, just lost interest really. Despite having 'powers' several of the characters were actually very dull.

Watching Safe, a Harlan Coben book, on Netflix. Seems decent so far.

I'll have to give that a watch, I listened to a lot of his Myron Bolitar books on audiobook over the years and I enjoyed them all.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Not a series or tv but i have been on youtube watching a lot of the old Grand Nationals ,the race has been dumbed down in recent years but still a spectacular event ,and watching red rum go around jumping like a stag evokes memories of sitting at home with mum and dad and seeing how our respective punts got on .
going to see if there is any old Jack Hargreaves on the tube now as loved his out of town shows.
long live nostalgia .

Agree. I watched 2 or 3 episodes and lost interest.

Just started Deep State (series 2).
I enjoyed series 1 with Mark Strong, so hopefully this will be as good.

We're watching The Boys. It's an adult take on a group of privileged and well paid superheroes, managed by an organisation, with their enemy being a small band of normals trying to bring them down. Quirky, sweary and engaging. So far.

 

[Beezerk]

Soooo, with the pubs closed I need inspiration for some things to watch on TV, what do you recommend?

 

[chrisd]

Might be just the time to watch my first episode of Game of thrones

Watching Ashes to Ashes on Drama. Can't beat a bit of the Gene Genie. Fire up the Quattro

Nowhere near as good as Life on Mars was, seemed like they made Ashes to Ashes just to shoe horn Gene & his fellow coppers into another series.

Also not a TV Series - but when I feel down as I often do at the moment- the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony is I found very uplifting - though the whole section on the NHS was difficult and thought provoking for where we are today. But the memories of the evening and the whole games did lift me. Here’s the link - it only plays on YouTube but just click on the link to YouTube embedded in it.

Whilst I appreciated the production values in staging it, I found the whole thing quite silly and extremely irritating. Did at the time & still do.

Don't currently subscribe to the big streaming services - so currently looking at a lot on All4. Currently watching PAKT (a Polish political drama) and just finished The End Of The F*****g World - a dark & quirky British drama aimed (I guess) at a rather younger audience than me but strangely compelling.

There’s a video on you tube showing how quick they are working out calculations in there head during training, very impressive, like you say, if they failed they were gone, it was a an ex Royal Navy captain who was doing our Major Emergency Management who used it as part of our training.
Do you know name of programme?
