TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[need_my_wedge]

Wow, that is a long time indeed. The first series had an actor in it who then died, and was replaced with a less interesting actor for the rest. It was a good premise for a show, though.

One of them then starred in a preposterously stupid but fun show called Gemini Man.

Pete Duel was the actor that died, replaced by Roger Davies. Ben Murphy went on to become the Gemini man. Used to be on Monday nights, my dad would let me and my brother stay up late to watch it as mum was out.

There used to be a lot of cowboy stuff around then. One of my first memories is watching a show on Saturday at teatime called Branded with Chuck Connors as a disgraced cavalry soldier.

Yeah, we grew up with westerns or war stories. Gun smoke, The Virginian, Bonanza, High Chapparal and Maverick are all fondly remembered. Don't remember much of Rawhide, but there was also The lone Ranger, Champion the Wonder Horse, Casey Jones and Zorro. Always wanted to be a cowboy and still love a good western?

The wife is hooked on the Netflix drama/comedy series DEAD TO ME, so I'm forced to watch it too

Based on the above conversation, just watched first episode of Detectorists and love it.
It's a very subtle humour.

Welcome to the club

They weren't as fast as Kid Curry though.

Finished Detectorists. Nice.

Titans on Netflix.

I finished the first series of Detectorists last night. It definitely got better after the first two episodes. Those first two just give the impression of a sleepy, chuckling comedy, but after that the more dramatic storylines come in.

more dramatic and Detectorists is a bit of an oxymoon! The whole charm is centred on the lack of drama and subtleties of the script and characters

I meant dramatic just as in the more serious parts of the storyline, to fit a Comedy/Drama billing. Not dramatic as in the dictionary definition of being overblown, lol.

Just started Torchwood. I'm not a big Dr Who fan, but after a couple episodes Torchwood seems ok.....and the Welsh girl is cute. I can see getting tired of it after a season though....wait and see.
Also have been watching....cough cough cough......Stargirl. If they had done this a bit more seriously I think I would like it. As usual, the parts are way overplayed......with too many irritating behaviors.
Just saw a preview of Freaks on Netflix I might try it out.....

The new All Creatures Great and Small, yes I know I am probably a sad old f*rt but I thought it was excellent.

I loved it despite thinking it would be pretty awful - Channel 5 not usually good at such programmes imho.

I used to enjoy Torchwood, was good fun. Try Keeping Faith then if you like Eve Myles as she's in most scenes. First series was very good, second one awful.

Instant Hotel on Netflix. Aussie reality nonsense a bit like 4 in a bed. But the latter is horrid whilst the former is a bit of fun as it gives some insight into Aussie character - as well as some nice Aussie locations/destinations - many that we were lucky enough to visit last year. Watching with Mrs as we have very different tastes in serial dramas - and this is neutral and very non-taxing ground that we can watch together...

The boys on amazon is very good. Not your usual superhero fare at all

Young Wallander on Netflix. Promising first episode.
