What TV shows are you currently watching

Been watching 'Kingdom' after a recommendation here. Drama about an MMA gym, its owner and some of the fighters. Not bad. Had more potential then it delivered. I found the storyline Nate annoyingly boring. Alicia and her drama wasn't great, and Lisa didn't seem to be consistent.

In term of the fighting, I've never seen so many sweeps in an MMA match, or escapes from rear naked chokes and triangles. haha.

Enjoyed it overall though. I'll give it a 7/10. After the first two seasons, I think I'll stop here. Don't feel the need to watch the third.
Third finishes in very dramatic fashion. Worth it imo.
 
Currently watching "Night Sky" on Prime which is an interesting sci0fi type thing, the first episode is quite slow but i'm enjoying it (on ep 5 tonight).

Unfortunately the season ends just as it is getting somewhere :( which unsurprisingly lead to it being cancelled.
 
It wasn't just that it was slow, that's fine. It's that it didn't tell you anything at all. It didn't even really build up to anything. Slow is fine, getting to know the characters, and their motivations, creating atmosphere, but you have to have some kind of story.
 
Started Sherwood last night. Good so far, after I paused it to explain to my Australian mrs what the miners strike and a picket line was.
 
I'm back into Billions S5 after taking a break for a year or two, still don't understand half of the technical speak but there's more back stabbing and treachery than an episode of GOT :D
 
Up to date with Resident Alien. Actually surprised how good season 2 has been. As much as I enjoyed season 1 I thought this would run out of steam quite quickly because the basic premise seemed to be 'Alan Tudyk is awesome, let's roll with that'
 
We (wife and I) have so many on the go. Rings of Power, Criminal Minds, Suits (for the 4th time), Firefly (only a couple of episodes in) and a fair few other random ones on our various streaming watch lists.

Might stick Band of Brothers back on. At least I know I will do it over a couple of days and be extremely satisfied.


Even the original series felt cheap sometimes, but was all about the characters and the stories. So far enjoying it and giving it a fair chance, only 2 episodes so far and I can see them getting better and better once the main characters grow on you. Like the main guy Ben his wife to be and the hologram she reminds be too much of Sandra Bullocks and not a huge fan of hers, but anyways so far so good and they have a lot to live up to from the original series so we need to cut them a bit of slack.

Something that brings good memories back is always a good thing in my book and the most important part of quantum leap was the stories and lives he jumped into.

A bit late to the party *cough* but just started Daredevil on D+ oh my gosh that first episode was rather good. I'm surpised they've left this up and available it made most of their recent shows look a bit shabby in comparison.
