TV Series - What Are You Watching?

[rudebhoy]

Out tonight, out tomorrow, hopefully see it Friday. I don't normally have a social life, freak week .

I find with a lot of dramas now, the set up is great but they don't know how to tie everything up. It leaves a flat feeling, very meh.

I'll post back after I've seen it, we'll see if we agree

Watched it tonight, not disappointing at all, a very good last episode.

Jamie Lee Curtis in S2 E6 of The Bear… Omg television doesn’t get much better than that!

New series of the Lincoln Lawyer. Watched 1st part last night. OKish

My head hurt throughout the whole episode but it was unbelievable tv

It was a bit poor for me.
Really enjoyed it until the last episode.

Vanishing Act on ITV X. Dramatisation of a true story about Melissa Caddick who was a fraudster in Australia who vanished after she was caught. Not on the scale of the brilliant Madoff documentary on Netflix that I thoroughly recommend but a good watch nonetheles.

Watched the follow up documentary about her tonight, The Missing Milionairess also on ITVX - fascinating, as it happened at the height of the Pandemic in Australia it didn’t get the worldwide press it might have done. Well worth a watch if you like true crime.

It was a bit poor for me.
Really enjoyed it until the last episode.

I think there were some big plot holes that didn't stand up to scrutiny but on the whole I was okay with the ending. Hard to end something like that so I'm okay to give them a bit of leeway.

I‘m in a bit of a vintage catch up, for the first time this week I’ve managed to get pass S1E1 of Peaky Blinders and now I’ve discovered the joys of When The Boat Comes In. I’m well sorted until the rain stops hopefully!

Mark Cavendish - Never Enough on Netflix, compelling documentary giving an insight into the world of a driven elite sportsman. Very much like the obsessed Michael Jordan in the Last Dance and Mahomes in Quarterback. Heartily recommend it if you like this sort of thing.

ER S1 - episode around Christmas. I may have blubbed a little. It looks dated but it's quality.

ER is taking up ALL my TV time! I'm on series 12 since I started a few months ago
At least I'll have loads of series all stacked up and waiting.

 

[GB72]

Just finished series one of the detectorists and moving on to season 2

 

[rudebhoy]

Finished Wolf tonight. A few red herrings and set up nicely for S2.

 

[Fromtherough]

Watching The West Wing from the start. Great TV.

S1 of Jack Ryan polished off last night, we really enjoyed it but even the missus said it was very cheesy in parts. There were also some huge plot holes, how did the terrorists just saunter into the USA despite being the most wanted men in the world and their photos plastered on every news channel?

Finished S1 of Lincoln Lawyer last night. It was mostly enjoyable, albeit fairly predictable. It did leave a couple of annoying unresolved issues that felt fairly key to the finale, which was weird.
Started S2 tonight. Within 10 minutes it was a bit cheesy. By the end I was just irritated by it.

I got as far as finishing S2 E1, and gave up.

more than me. I didn't get through episode 1. Extremely disappointed as i loved the film and was looking forward to it. I am sure it probably improved but i thought it was so bad i did not have the energy

 

[Doon frae Troon]

Irvine Welsh's Crime........very good , superb acting.
Might not travel south of Preston though.

We gave up after an episode and a half. Just hard work, particularly with some of the accents. Restricts the audience a bit if you are going that hard.

 

[Swango1980]

Started watching Suits (by started, I mean a few weeks ago, and already at start of Season 2).

Pretty good, although as most episodes are almost stand alone (up to now, and last few episodes have strung together a bit), then there was a lack of suspense from one episode to the next.

I also find that each character have very similar personalities, whether it be a lawyer, client or someone else. Every conversation between 2 people is quirky and sarcastic, with each person in the conversation trying to wind up the other.
