I finally forced myself through series 1 of Invasion on Apple TV after several previous attempts. Yeah, I won't be watching the second series.

It had some good points but it just never really got going - after 10 hours of TV I don't feel like much actually happened.
Dark ......... I don't normally feel the need to publicise what I'm watching, but jesus this show is addictive... I'm half way through series 2.
For anyone that has seen it, please please please tell me it ends well. For anyone that hasn't seen it, Netflix, turn off the English dubbing, watch it in German with English subs...much better. The English voices is very jarring, voices don't fit the faces and lack the lip sync being differnet is also off putting. The first few episodes it feels like you're going to watch a German version of stranger things, but it does go in its own direction very quickly and in Series 2 I audibly sat back in my chair at the end of one episode and audibly went "****ing hell" in surprise lol

Binged Ted Lasso again. A few bits I missed first time around and I love Coach Beard. What a legend.
Ahhhh, I loved Dark! Watched it twice, first on my own and the second watch with the missus as she hadn't watched it.
In terms of ending well, how can I say anything without spoiling it for you... not much. All I will say is that you'll have to watch through to the end and find out yourself. Despite the plot being so complex (I still can't wrap my head around some things that happened in the show even after watching it twice), I enjoyed it from start to finish
And yeah, I never bothered watching with English dubbing at all, just doesn't sound authentic. Original German audio all the way with English subtitles.

I binged that when I was laid up in bed with a broken elbow. It was great. Funny and quite touching in places.
It’s really good. I did find that season 3 got a bit hard to follow, but that might be because I’m not very good at following things like that. I enjoyed it all even if I didn’t feel like I quite understood it.
Both of you very similar to what i read on reddit, and what led me to start watching it... lots of confusion, but ultimately satisfying
I love a show that really makes me think...nice change from tele that melts our brains lol
Exactly why I enjoyed it. I may not have understood all the ins and outs of the plot, but I think that's the beauty of Dark. Gets you thinking either way. Loved it.

I just got to the part where Charlotte learns who her father is, that was quite an eye opener. There's a few things i'd seen coming, but that wasn't one of them. Also when Adam reveals his identity that was the scene that made me go "what the ****"
Yeah trust me, this is just the beginningI just got to the part where Charlotte learns who her father is, that was quite an eye opener. There's a few things i'd seen coming, but that wasn't one of them. Also when Adam reveals his identity that was the scene that made me go "what the ****"
Wait till you get to season 3

Dark is fantastic. First I watched it with subtitles
Second time through I attempted with the Dub but fell off it as it didn't feel accurate enough

Watched first couple of episodes of 1883 last night. Probably should have known better but two things stood out: 1. Americans really do just love their guns. 2. When you have an interesting story why not inject a bit of pointless drama just because you need someone to be particularly unlikable.
5/10 for me I won't bother continuing, probably 7/10 if you like guns. Probably should have known better but there was nothing else even remotely interesting that came up during the scroll.

I watched all of Homeland apart from the last season and it was decent viewing but nothing changed my annoyance and hatred for Clare Danes' chatacter throughout.Homeland is awesome you're missing out
I now have 4 episodes left of season 3 of 24 and I do think it is excellent so far.
The presidents wife/ex wife is a fascinatingly awful person. I cant believe how many chances the president gives her!
Binged the rest of S2 and the whole of S3 over the last 2 days, finally finished Dark.... brilliantly finished. It's difficult to end something so complex but that show absolutely nailed it. Seen so many shows take complicated things and absolutely flop the ending (hello Lost!).
9/10 for it .... i only knock one off because of the sheer amount of heavy breathing/panting the show has in it that i found really annoying at points lol

Banger of a title song too, one of the shows whose credits I never skipped (Apparat)
