TV Series - What Are You Watching?

Tried watching The Responder after hearing good reviews.
I can’t cope with that accent,why say “Lad” every other word? ?
 
This is Going to Hurt; based on Adam Kay's book of the same name about his time in the NHS, starting as a junior doctor & moving into Gynaecology & Obstetrics (or Brats & ......).

Loved the book, like Ben Wishaw's portrayal of Adam Kay (I've seen Adam Kay live a couple of times), but I'm not sure that it's going to translate too well to TV; the book was written as a diary and worked well but the series doesn't seem to follow the same timeline. Will stick with it though.

I really enjoyed the first episode but haven't read the book.
 
Well worth a read if you get the chance.

Echo the above!
Well written, funny and real life stories. Makes you realise how tough it is for a Junior Doctor.

The big question is will the old lady & the Jack Daniels make it into the TV series? That was my biggest laugh out loud moment in the book.
 
It
Know we are behind the curve, but started watching Afterlife last night. Brilliant, hooked after 1 episode.

Really admire how Gervais can write such a funny series based on such a sad and moving situation.
It is beautifully observed as well as funny. Similarly we found his Derek equally so. I admit to having been a bit dubious or uncertain about the main character but again his Derek character is beautifully and sympathetically observed with supporting characters spot on - though I did find one of them a bit creepy...but that would have been deliberate.
 
Reacher ?
First episode of Yellowstone, Wow, stunning,it's a watcher ???

Halfway through season4 now. There are some fantastic episodes inbetween, won’t spoil. It does come across as a modern day Dallas to me, Costner is Jock Ewing, Jaimie is JR (although not quite), Kayce is Bobby, etc. But it’s pretty damn good. Written by Taylor Sheridan who penned Sicario, Hell or High Water and Wind river, all good films, he also pops up in it occasionally as “Travis” the rodeo horse trader.

He’s also penned 1883, a prequel to Yellowstone, and Mayor Of Kingstown, both next on my list.

Mayor of Kingstown is very good ?
