What TV shows are you currently watching

Following on from earlier posts, finished watching The Expanse a couple of nights ago - overall 9.5/10.

Very little to find fault with, maybe the pacing was a bit off in some places particularly established characters suddenly relegated to minor or no appearance (Fred Johnson) but with new characters (Anna) suddenly centre stage. Last three episodes, Holden seemed to spend most of the time in a trance! (Possibly due to Steven Strait also acting as producer?). Maybe this is how the books are or maybe they were just rushing to get as much of the story told in case the show didn't get renewed. However top notch sci-fi, SFX and plot/arc driven story. Assuming Amazon don't renege on S4, really looking forward to seeing where they go next.

Season 3 is a bit of a rush as they adapted two books into a single season. Whereas seasons 1 and 2 are a single book.

I eagerly await S4 as the book was one of my favourites of the series.
 
Finished Haunting of Hill House the other night and will echo what was said by the poster who convinced me to watch it. It's simply one of the best, strongest, most consistent and heartfelt pieces of horror i've seen for decades, odd movie highlights aside here and there.

The ending absolutely shocked me but not in the ways that you might expect. I'd simple say just watch it, even if you're not an out and out horror fan, it's so much more. It's a family struggle, it's part love story, it's a mystery...but ultimately, it's just damn good horror.

I'd give it 10/10 but there were some moments of CGI that while necessary, weren't up to the standard i'd have liked. As such it's a 9/10.

Oh and Theo :D Lovely Theo :)

You've convinced me to try and watch it, but more importantly where the heck is the season 4 of the Expanse, I've been checking doors and corners, nothing there....
 
Brooklyn 99.

It's really funny, you know. I'd expected to be disappointed.

It's just keeping me occupied while I wait for Stranger Things 3, though :)
 
I've just moved into the second season of Brooklyn 99. It's pretty good. So far, not on a level with comedy greats, but certainly I'm enjoying watching it.
 
I was expecting it to be a bit too broad for my tastes, but there's some sort of subversive funny moment, or a few, that gets me in pretty much every episode
 
Just finished Killing Eve series 2, slight disappointment after the epic first series but still better than most.
 
Did Season 2 of Halt and Catch Fire last week, now I'm on the final season of Fringe. Not sure what to do next, possibly Stranger Things 3.
