What TV shows are you currently watching

[englishpremier]

Tracker which is a CBS show about a reward hunter. A guy who runs (well drives) around the US taking up cases to collect reward money. He's a loner, but is helped by a trusted team of friends. Typical formulaic stuff.

There's no overarching story. The episodes don't really connect e.g. he gets a case at the end of an episode in some random town he has to drive to, but in the next episode is a completely different case the other side of the US.

It has vibes of Burn Notice for me in so far as a the merry band of friends that help out, but isn't as witty, isn't as well written and seems even more family friendly.

It's extremely light but easy watching, absolutely zero substance at all though. Virgin River, probably has more depth to it.

I'll give it a 6/10.

Shame as they could had made it with more drama, and deeper characters, possibly had something decent on their hands.

Bailed midway through Gen V. Not for me but wanted to get back in the mood for the new series of The Boys. Bring it!

 

[Steve09]

Have been binging The Walking Dead, almost finished season 6. Watched seasons 1-2/3 years ago but stopped for some reason, probably started watching something else and never went back. Really enjoying it. I'm a big fan of zombie games so this is basically that, but live action.

Just started season 3 of Clarksons Farm, so far everyone tells me episode 4 is sad

 

[Frankiemac]

Just started watching After Life for the first time. Cracking me up and I am not a Ricky Gervaise fan.

Yea, I'm not a Gervais fan in the slightest but After Life and Derek are both absolutely superb.

 

[barmyllama]

Just finished Clarkson's Farm, which was very entertaining.

Recently started watching Justified, having missed it first time around. Five episodes in we're both enjoying it.

Also watching A Man in Full on Netflix and it's quite good so far.

 

[EddScott]

Nearly finished Ripley on Netflix. Very good.

For All Mankind - we're on S2 and I think as it diverges away from "our timeline" Mrs EddScott will lose interest, we shall see.

Boardwalk Empire - I've been on about this to Mrs E for ages and she finally agreed to watch it - gangster films not being her thing - but I think she likes it more than expected.

Loudermilk - first season was really good, others were OK, Ben is by far the best character.


Fallout and Halo - I watched these without Mrs E. Knew Halo would be a tough sell so didn't offer. After a couple of Fallout eps she didn't get it and couldn't take it seriously. I did try to explain, honest.


Finished Scavengers Reign - very good cartoon series. Was a shame to get to the end.

My Mrs got about 10 mins in to the first Fallout before giving up

 

[Ninco!]

Finished Justified Seasons 1-6

Loved it, and rate it the best series I've ever watched. Consistent throughout, no dull episodes or padding. Just the humour, characters & setting really appealed.

Suburra Seasons 1-4 / Film

Suburra is an odd series. Released a film, then four seasons on Netflix. For season four, the name changed to Suburraeternal just to make it more confusing!

I won't say anymore, it's a good series, but if I did it again, I would watch seasons 1 and 2 and then the film.

Seeing the recommendations, it's got to be Boardwalk Empire next!

 

[LizardKing]

Not watching, but watched - Young Sheldon
If im honest im quite sad to see its now finished, what started out as a spin off from the big bang theory grew to stand on its own two feet. Whilst it never stood out, it certainly had its moments. However ep12 & 13 of the final season were some of the best heartfelt episodes of any tv series.

 

[nands]

After Blue Lights and The Responder needed something different so watching Bridgerton series three, why not?

 

[Andy__C]

Started watching "The Sixth Commandment" on iplayer last night.

Ended up watching 3 episodes, pretty decent. A very solid cast and based on the True story/case files of the controversial manipulation murders that took place in Buckinghamshire about 10 years ago.

Not usually my kind of thing but enjoyable and I'm looking fwd to the last episode.

I recently finished the 4th series of Fargo and thought I recognised one of the characters in it. It turns out that person was Timothy Olyphant, the main star of Justified.
Great show.

 

[ivrytwr3]

Young Sheldon, 7 seasons and now over. Funny, sad, great little show

Although we're having a spin off of a spin off - Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage. Not sure if this will be any good.

 

[mingeroonie]

Just finished Clarkson season 3, might give Shogun a go next

 

[Vern1961]

Just finished Shardlake, mini series on Disney+. Kind of a medieval (well, Tudor) detective story, somewhat reminiscent of The Name Of The Rose. Creepy monastery, creepier monks and Sean Bean snarling menace as Thomas Cromwell. Overall 8/10 though Eps 2 and 3 maybe plodded a bit, with the action and denouement saved for Ep 4. Hopefully they'll do some more.

 

[Greebo]

Currently watching Andor, started slow but got going in episode 3 and seems to be alright. Not as good as the animated shows though.

It grows. Slow start but by the time you get to the later episodes its amazing. Best of the Star Wars spinoff series (excluding animated)

I’ve said it before. No space magic, no space wizards, no laser swords, just normal people fighting against the giant boot of the empire. And it’s all the better for it.

 

[PC777]

Very late, but I watched The Mandalorian on Disney+.

From somehow getting Werner Herzog to play a role, to Pedro Pascals' clear love and respect for Star Wars, to

Spoiler: Plot spoiler, need to have seen whole seasons to view.

a beloved character being done justice after being almost destroyed in the terrible sequel movies

, I thought it was great overall.

People who made this loved and understood Star Wars and didn't have any kind of political axe to grind. Jon Favreau did the license justice, as an old school Star Wars fan I consider it part of the official storyline.
