[tv show] What TV shows are you watching

[Andrew_C]

TV really isn't my thing, but Norsemen was recommended to Mrs C.  A bit like an "after the watershed*" Chelmsford 123, or Asterix.  I have just seen that it is far from new...

Finished A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms S1. Really enjoyed it. The opening and closing music in the last ep were odd choices, though.

Just finished watching. We thought it was really good - better than the rather leaden House of the Dragon. Quite low budget but good acting and script and a bit of humour, grimness and crudity in places. Hopefully they will make a series of the other 2 novellas as well!

S2 already being made. There was a weather-related delay.

Finished S4 of Reacher, which was an improvement from S3. Started the spinoff, Neagley, which had a good first 2 eps but it seemed obvious what was going on from the first ep. I'm wondering how they can string out the "mystery" for the rest of the season. Guess that never stopped 24.

 

Finished K-Drama Tomorrow. The ep with the war vet mentioned previously was definitely the high point, though the one about "comfort women" was pretty good, and the one where the "case of the week" was a suicidal dog was... interesting. Like most K-Dramas, this was one-and-done so had a proper ending but I'd have preferred better closure for the lead lady and her love from centuries ago.

Seal Team (series not a movie)

 

Just started watching this not bad for a time passer. I do like the realistic movements and that the actors use genuine night vision as from my experience using mine your body does move differently so its nice to see. As with all series some episodes could do with some more substance to it but other than that worth a watch if your into this sort of thing....

Cr@p Happens (Netflix)

 

As you can gather from the title, trailer has rude words (in German but in the ENG subs too).

 

 

Unsuccessful in life, love and his would-be rap career, Toni returns to his home town of Kacken when his mother dies. He finds he has a son, but can he look after a child when he is offered a record contract?

 

Deeply odd German comedy. We're 3 episodes in and beginning to quite enjoy it.

You do know what Kack means?

I've been off work since Tuesday with what has turned from a cold into a chest infection. So in between coughing, spluttering, sleeping and generally feeling miserable  - I've been watching The Agency Season 1. Really enjoyed them.

 

Just started Season 2. Will do a few episodes today in the peace.

I managed to get another 30 day trail for apple tv so bingeing the new series of Slow Horses (excellent) and need to try and cram in the last series of Ted Lasso (it finished so well so not sure how they can do this).. Silo (watched the first series).... Matchbox (seems daft fun)... the ryan reynolds film (looks fun)... and pluribus (saw the first one free on Prime).

 

I did intend to feel ill today and spend all day watching tv but my wife is a childminder so its more peaceful at work than sat at home.

Below (Netflix). Trailer gets loud!

 

 

A mysterious iceberg appears near an isolated Newfoundland fishing community and something in the water threatens to destroy the town.

 

Entertaining miniseries that has a lot in common with The Swarm including a cast member in Alexander Karim, who plays a scientist in both. However this is much more of a creature feature apart from Episode 5 which goes off on a tangent (possibly a setup for a spin-off?).

Foundation S3, good

Widow's Bay, weird

Ann Droid, funny

Sunny, the other robot helper show, interesting

The Comeback S3, funny

My 2 Cents, excellent (S3 of Tear Along the Dotted Line)

How to get to Heaven from Belfast, funny

The Chair Company, funny

Young Sherlock, mysterious

Ripley, distinct lack of aliens

Alien Earth, distinct lack of Ripley (excellent though)

Finished this over the weekend - enjoyed it. Bit silly in places - but it was ok.

Thoroughly enjoying this.  Feels like a Lovecraftian tale despite being fairly grounded.

Finished Neagley on Prime Video. Entertaining but it was obvious what was going on from ep 1 and the amount of bodies that team left in their wake should have seen them locked up for life. Or, it being America, at least in court for the rest of their lives. Still, enough twists and turns to keep me amused.

[NetworkDirector]

The Diplomat Season 4 just Finished, absolutely fantastic end to the series, for now... Hope we get a Season 5

 

[southhamster]

Us southhamsters just watched The Cage on BBC iplayer. Based around a dodgy casino in Liverpool. Cracking script and some excellent acting with just enough humour amid the terrible lives of everyone in it. Recommended.

This is on my watchlist. Along with the latest seaon for Reacher.

 

Also ploughing through Brooklyn99 and the US version of Ghosts. Both easy watches with not too much brainpower required.
