TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[GB72]

Bake Off, 2 of my 3 in the office sweep have gone already. Yup, that's a 100% failure rate so far . A lovely mix of people, fun tv. If Janusz wants to invite me around for tea and cake then I'm in. His stuff looks lovely every time .

On a similar theme, CH4 tonight, Britain's Best Woodworker. More feelgood tv with people showing their amateur talents in a friendly environment.

Yes, watch both of those. The reason I watch those and have given up on Masterchef and some others is that they have forgotten that it is all about the people and simply do not give them enough time on screen. I also drop in and out of the jewelery making one.

We finished The Staircase a couple of nights ago. We have been watching it on and off for a couple of months, clearly we weren’t fully engaged, but how it finished left us very frustrated…why did they bother making it. Rare that we look at each other and our looks are both ‘well that was a waste of time’.

I watch ‘Britain’s Best…and ‘makeover’ programmes with a mix of interest, admiration and dread for my feelings of inadequacy.?

Note…I often get similar feelings when I read DIY or IDIM (I Did It Myself) posts on these boards ?

Only realised the other day that the new Rick & Morty series had started, so did the first two episodes of that. Didn't really know what was going on (as is often the case) because I'd forgotten the events of last series, but it's still funny.

Just finished capture on iPlayer, awesome two seasons I just fear a third could ruin it. Well recommended.

If you haven't seen it make sure you watch the first series before the second.

Bingefeasted both seasons over the last 4/5 days ?

Crossfire - current 3 parter on BBC - pretty good.

Pretty sure we watched S1 last year (or whenever it was) seemed pretty ludicrous. Is S2 better?

S2 rolled in nicely, was a little far fetched and “ action filmy “ at points but helped make S1 make sense

Switched off halfway through part 2. Just a lot of people running around panicking.

That is true - you've put me off now

The Suspect seems decent.

Finished the Lazarus Project, decent series, some interesting points then just an awful ending, almost like they stopped filming the series 3/4 of the way through. There is an art to ending a series with a view to a continuation of the plot in the next one and this was not it.

Just starting the new Lord of the Rings series on Amazon!

Very interesting after 1 and a half episodes!

It gets better, although the last episode was flat to be fair. If only they had a Matt Smith character in it, he is stealing GoT right now.
