Loved the third series of Fortitude, sad it was short but Richard Dormer was absolutely fantastic as Sherrif Dan!

I live in hope that we'll see more of this show. Sadly, i don't think it got the viewing figures necessary to make it happen.

Finished Das Boot. It was really good! There's an interesting plot on-shore involving the Resistance as well as the tension and drama happening on the U-Boat itself. I've seen every iteration of the original and i prefer this. Glad to hear a second season is already on the books.

Roots - the 2016 ish one. On iPlayer

It's heavy going, in a... spritual?..... sense. Find myself struggling to watch too much in one go. concerned it will be just 8 hours of unending sadness. It feels important, though.

Vikings is awesome so far. Jus started season 2

Succession (HBO) Well worth a watch. Just three episodes in but i'm hooked. I'll be following it until the end.

Finished The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel today, probably my favourite tv show of the last decade.

I saw this on amazon and completely ignored it til you suggested it in such a way. Ive just binge watched 2 series in 2 days. Bloody excellent.

Recently finished Black Sails Season 2. Excellent. Season 1 was basically an introduction to the characters and things really got moving in Season 2. A good mix of action, drama, humour and philosophy.

Also just finished Braquo Season 2. Again superb. Lots of characters to keep track of and double-crossing. The only issue I had was that characters would be introduced only to be killed off in the same/next episode. It's a bit too obvious who are the core characters and who are the disposable ones.

I'm looking for something different next so might check out The Expanse.

3Below: Tales of Arcadia.

Very enjoyable animated Sci Fi romp on Netflix.

Finished Dark Tourist, surprised at how much some of the places he went to let him see, wonder if they can get another season going to other places.

For some reason I thought 'Halt and Catch Fire' was based on the real story of PC's developing in the early 80's... anyway, 4 episodes in, it's okay so far I guess.

Did you watch Trollhunters too?

I've not started 3Below, but TH was superb. Only started it to check it was suitable for my 8 year old, but watched it all because it was so good

He loved it too.

I didn’t know they were linked but once I found out I started watching Trollhunters as soon as I finished 3Below. Next year is the 3rd instalment called Wizards.

Missing my Walking Dead fix, so have finally got around to Fear the Walking Dead. Currently up to S2 Ep 4.

nands · 27 Dec 2018 at 11:36

I have seen and quite enjoyed the first two series of Fear the Walking Dead and am wondering if it is worth continuing.

ivrytwr3 · 29 Dec 2018 at 00:51

Up to S2 Ep 9 - really enjoying it and aside from the 'Nick' episode, there is always something going on! (and even the Nick episode was a good backstory for him).

Started on The Office (US). It's mildly amusing but not outright funny. Still watching though. Only just started season 2. I also never watched the UK The Office either.

crazy8s · 30 Dec 2018 at 14:06

Finished Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Looking forward to Season 6

Randomface74 · 30 Dec 2018 at 18:34

Rewatching Buffy, first few seasons were solid, but it's getting a bit "every episode is a filler" now.

Started watching Bosch, first season was solid, 2nd season I just can't follow at all, giving up :/

I found this early on but really grew to like it!

I've just watched the most recent Always Sunny in Philadelphia - didn't find the last season very good at all compared to the earlier stuff!

I ended up actually liking the US Office much more than the original UK office.

Also liked Always Sunny in Philadelphia but they do seem to be running out of wind (not surprising considering how many seasons they've done now.

Parks and Recreation is another favourite of mine, brilliant to see Chris Pratt before he became well known.

Yeah, love Parks and Rec - go back to it every now and again!

If you haven't already seen them I can highly recommend the outtakes - especially the "comeback" one with Chris Pratt going off-script!
