What TV shows are you currently watching

Just finished Black Doves. It starts off strong with a hint of a Guy Ritchie vibe, but the story becomes increasingly ridiculous as it progresses. Then it wraps up with the most out-of-place and cringeworthy Christmas ending, which will have you questioning if you just watched a show about the dangerous London underworld or a more violent version of Love Actually.

If by guilty pleasure you mean it's poor but watchable then I agree. I can't fathom how this show is so highly rated. It has a great cast, but the writing is terrible.

I has Harrison Ford playing a grumpy old man occasionally saying woof , what's not to love?

The Madness (Netflix).

Rather good!

Just finished this last night.

The first episode was probably the best one of the lot and it tapered off a bit but gave it the benefit of the doubt to finish it off.

Landman

The more I watch the more I start to think it’s funded by big oil

I think I'm going to start the day of the Jackal, Black Doves and Slow horses soon - which as a knock on effect has gotten me thinking about re-watching spooks.

Slow Horses - excellent. No interest in Jackal or Black Doves.

Ah, that's a shame, I was looking forward to watching this. Don't think I'll bother!

I really like Landman, but then I've enjoyed every Taylor Sheridan series I've seen so far. I don't think it shows big oil as anything other than a necessary (for now) evil.

Slow Horses - excellent. No interest in Jackal or Black Doves.

I've been holding off, purely for those rare times I can sit down and dedicate time to a few episodes in a segment - it's reassuring to hear positive sentiment.

Just finished all 3 series of From. Loved it, one of my favourite series ever. Currently watching Day of the Jackal, which is great in parts.

Guilty pleasure but just caught up with Shrinking season 2. It's quite entertaining

It is good, similar to Ted Lasso, it shouldn't really work and teeters occasionally to a the wrong side of a line....I'm not even sure what the line is......but just about stays the right side of it, and is genuinely funny at times, and offset with some pretty dark underlying themes. Looking forward to the last ep.

The great parts being the parts without Lashana Lynch in them presumably.
