What TV shows are you currently watching

Finished For All Mankind. Completely binged it all within the space of maybe a week

although now feeling sad I can't watch anymore of it.
Really enjoyed it and looking forward to season 4. Found it interesting why they decided to also change certain parts of history outside of NASA/parts that didn't seem to affect NASA. (Unless maybe I missed something) Don't want to say too much without spoiling it though.

some episodes they do things where you think "this is mad, as if this would happen IRL" but it didn't take away the enjoyment of the show. I did shed a few tears in the finale of season 3

Looking for the next series to get into on apple TV if anyone has any recommendations. I have the afterparty on my list. Also seen invasion advertised: anyone watched this?

Wind River

Such a criminally underrated movie.

Agreed, find so many people haven't heard of it, I think people see Renner and Olsen and dismiss it as a throwaway crime/action movie, it's a solid film, watched it twice.

S2 of The After Party on AppleTV, still some very funny moments.

And then back to The Witcher from tomorrow.

Started watching "Manifest" on Netflix, it's a sort of sci-fi/mystery, it's not bad imo, keeping me guessing as to what's going on without being confusing.

Just finished season 1, enjoyed it, there's 4 seasons in total so selected the next season to play, it started playing season 4! Seasons 2 and 3 aren't on Netflix! Wouldn't have bothered with it if i'd known :mad:

Titans is DC, not Marvel.

Ah yes you're totally right however dc is just as bad as marvel, arrow, flash etc all the same script changed just enough to get away with it.

I must be in the minority who didn't like it.

Yes, to be fair, that was one of the few scenes I remember being totally epic!

That was the only episode of the series (both 1 and 2) that I didn’t enjoy. Just found it unbearable with all the shouting. But I suppose that is sort of the point.
Really loved series 2 on the whole though and can’t wait for series 3!

Started Snowfall on Saturday night and I'm liking it a lot.

For ages the BBC IPlayer had just season 3-6 so was delighted to see they have all of it on now!

I can't understand how the hell I missed this series and why it hasn't had more publicity. Only 3 episodes in but its shaping up to be fantastic.

After a bit of a hiatus from TV I just watched Archive 81 on netflix. Decent enough show tbf. It stayed on mission and delivered a conclusion. I hate the hollow premise shows that just exist to meander about and get more seasons.

Some of the plot themes felt familiar and then the penny dropped when I noticed one of the guest director names (writer director of The Endless).

Barbarian on Disney is a great little movie. Go in cold for maximum enjoyment.

That was a cracking piece of sci-fi.

Just finished off Lucky Hank.

Great relaxing drama, full of laughs.

Went back to the final season of Peaky Blinders after starting it last year and being less than impressed, 3rd and 4th episodes are far better and looking forward to getting it all finished with the next few episodes. These last few seasons have been plodding along for the sake of it imo.

Have to mention an absolute standout scene with Steven Graham in the Liverpool docks warehouse, talking to Arthur about helping with his addiction. That guy can do no wrong and will go down as one of the modern greats.

That episode was hard watching indeed. Too much shouting and chaos. I guess it had a point and backstory to get across though.

I struggled a bit with the previous episode too. Found the girl a little unlikable and it didn't seem to progress the story at all.

Overall it's been a good show though.
