What TV shows are you currently watching

Just blasted through White Gold on Netflix - fully expected it to be a bad Inbetweeners knock off given the cast but ended up thoroughly enjoying it!

Looking forward to season 2!

The Marvellous Mrs Maisel, just started and loving it so far!

Finished season 2 of The Punisher, brilliant better than season 1, loved it. But seemingly it's cancelled as well.
Why do they keep cancelling all the good shows?

They cancelled The Punisher because of Disney, they have started their own streaming service and it's their IP. I wouldn't mind so much but it's not like it's a show that Disney+ would produce, it's too dark for them, but all Marvel shows have been axed apart from Jessica Jones which I think S3 was all but finished before the change.

They won't be on Disney+ for a few years, if at all, and then they won't be exactly the same shows with the same actors etc..

There are now too many streaming services but Disney+ has the IP and back-catalog to be able to compete - unfortunately.

Yeah I did hear about the Disney situation with streaming, poor if you ask me, but hey that's typical of the corrupt entertainment monopolies. Won't be long before choice is taken out the equation!

I had the same conversation on here and was also urged to stick with it - very glad i did! Although, not sure why you are watching each episode twice, really no need for that and perhaps that is why you are not enjoying it as much.

I tend to watch TV late at night so there's a good chance I'm either tired and miss bits, or fall asleep and miss even more. Watching the episodes again really helped though, Episode 1 was as good as you could hope for in a pilot episode. I like that there are some scenes containing long drawn out conversations. It makes it feel more epic and avoids the sopa opera feel that some TV shows have.

halfway through Mortal Kombat Conquest, cheesy as it is still enjoying it.

Having been off work due to injury recently we've been binge watching Escape to the Château recently.

A couple from England sell their two bedroom flat for 300K and purchase a run down 45 bedroom French château (for 280K) complete with moat and slowing modernise it into a business venture.

Just binge watched Counterpart, cracking show two series unfortunately been cancelled. Still worth a watch as they don't leave you hanging at the end.

One episode of Ozark left to go. Whilst it obviously doesn't reach the heights of Breaking Bad, it has been a good watch. Will definitely be looking forward to season 3.

 

[cheesyboy]

Watched Final Space thanks to recommendations in this thread. Was brilliant.

Also watched Russian Doll. It was good, but not amazing. A nice breezy 8 episodes of about 25 minutes, though - it didn't drag at all, unlike lots of other (even very good) shows.

Not sure what to watch next. Maybe Fargo, Stranger Things, or something else.

 

[krooton]

Stranger Things fo sho!

 

[IvanDobskey]

Hmm, stranger things is good, a little overrated though. German series Dark is similar (darker and grittier though) and far better.

Fargo on the other hand is fantastic.

 

[FlyingScotsman]

Started an oldish spy thriller last night Hunted (2012) with Melissa George, only 4 in but really enjoying the story-line, good cast too.

 

[lee1101]

After Life on Netflix.

Absolutely fantastic, loved every minute of it. Ricky Gervais is a genius, it’s hilarious and so sad at the same time. I highly recommend everyone to watch it

Agree, DARK is superb and a must see imho.
Just finished watching the first season of the superb Danish police drama 'The Killing (Forbrydelsen)' and also just started the second season of an amazing French series called 'The Returned (Les Revenants)'
Highly recommended.
And if you like your bank robbery films then Spain's 'La Casa De Papel' is up there with the best of them.

 

[craigyhay]

im watching through suits im on season 5 at the mo, never saw it when first aired so slowly catching up

 

[ElliorR]

2 episodes of the second series of Secret City on Netflix left to go. This is a very good Australian political drama.

Yes, the killing was excellent. In fact i have seen both danish and American versions, both good.

I'll definitely consider the returned, looks good.

 

[FlyingScotsman]

Just finished 'One Dollar' there, really enjoyed it, slow burner but last two episodes were brilliant and tied everything up perfectly.
Shame it was only one season though.

Agree. This is so good so far. Will binge the remainder this weekend.
