Anyone watching 1923? The sequel to 1883 and prequel to Yellowstone. I loved 1883 and this sequel is quite good too.

 Just seen a trailer for this!

Never knew this was in the pipeline. If it's anywhere near as good as 1883 it will be a must watch

Watched the first episode of Mayflies yesterday. Absolutely outstanding.

Happy Valley, 3rd and reportedly the last series .. more great writing, plotting and superb acting  .. one of the best ever BBC drama series

MrOneLung

Finished The Traitors on Sunday.
Really enjoyed it

Alice in Borderland - Series 2 - Netflix, i didn't realise it was released just before xmas and i really enjoyed the first season/series. A bit like Squid games, feels a bit slow so far but just getting into it (last night)

Enjoyed ‘Without Sin’ on ITVX. Three ex ‘This is England’ actors. Decent twist at the end.

Just watched episode one. Not grabbed me as yet apart from the harrowing scenes involving the indigenous girls. But 1893 will be a very hard act to follow anyway.

Yes, I'm fully invested in Taylor Sheridan and his TV universe and the Dutton family especially although Dwight Manfredi is also a fixture now 

Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren are class 

I watched one episode of Tulsa King, thought it was good but wasn't realistic so I didn't continue. Many people like it though. Mayor of Kingstown was the same for me... couldn't get into it. But 1883 was such a masterpiece and I so loved it!!! 

Agree with you on both series ... watched one and ditched them.

I've been watching Tulsa King but mainly just in background when I was doing a few bits on the laptop. It's ok, pretty much what I expected. The Sopranos it is not.

Watching Severance which is bonkers in a Black Mirror sort of way.

Loved ‘The Traitors’. Best ‘reality Tv’ show of all time IMHO. Bit of a slow burner getting to know the ‘players’ but, boy, the last 6 shows were superb. Had to binge watch the final episodes which is something not done since Breaking Bad.

Should be a good year for half decent reality shows.

BBC are giving Survivor another go.  It didn't do that well over here last time but I really liked it and have watched a load of the US series too, it's a really good format.  Like The Traitors it's best with quite normal people, watching who trusts the wrong person etc.

Race Across the World s3.

Traitors s2.

The Traitors reminded me of The Mole from Channel 5 ages ago, except in The Mole the Mole was also trying to sabotage the tasks.

Apprentice starts tonight! Usually takes a few weeks to bed in whilst they kick out the idiots.

I work with a guy who was on the production tes, and he said they put in about 5 candidates who are in with a chance and have decent business plans, and the rest are just there for entertainment.

Changing the subject, just finished watching Wednesday with the kids. Really enjoyed it, Tim Burton is a great fit and the story had enough twists and turns without disappearing up its own arse. Given me something to talk with my 11 year old about anyway

Thanks to whoever recommended The Traitors.  Wouldn't normally be my cup of tea, but I'm 4 episodes in & hooked

…..you are in for a treat with the next 8 episodes, especially the last 3. Avoid knowing anything about the outcome at all costs!

Finished His Dark Materials this week, this season was pretty good overall and the ending in particular was done very well I thought. Although it had some diversions from the book story which I struggled with a little at times. All the actors were very good, which is to be expected of McAvoy and Ruth Wilson, but the younger main actors were very good as well.

It didn't blow me away but was a good adaption to screen - miles better than the flop film version from a decade ago and pretty faithful to the source material as well, which I love. I think you'd probably struggle with it if you didn't know the story beforehand though.

First there was Love Island...

Then there was...

Started to watch Prime's " The rig" tonight. 

Watched the first two episodes and it looks promising. 

Episode two of 1923 and it's not grabbing me the way 1893 did, but will persist.

Have to say, after the first couple of episodes not paying attention while the wife was watching it, it became compulsive viewing.

Now what would make great TV is by inviting the whole cast back for series 2 and changing the traitors.  That would really mess with their heads lol.

Good idea JB. You just know that the next series will be bloody celebrities!!

the Beeb have already said that a celeb traitors is being planned.  Then they'll roll out the same old B listers.  Sigh.

I sat down today on a wet afternoon with nothing to do but binge The Rig.  I’m nearing the end of episode 3.  Stellar cast. However, if cliché ridden, moralistic scripts, an abundance of CGI confused with 1980s B movie production values and ham acting of the most spectacular kind is your thing then you’re in for a feast. If it isn’t do yourself a favour and give this a massive swerve. The problem is it’s soooo appallingly bad that it’s actually quite addictive and I kind of want to see what happens…….

MrOneLung

How many episodes is it, and are they all available or is it a weekly thing ?

Six.  They are all available.  Against my better judgement I watched it all. It’s scarily awful. The characters are named after real life oil fields - Magnus, Heather, Fulmar, Dunlin etc.  utterly ridiculous.

My Scottish mates are raving about it

I’ll get to it later. I have only just discovered how good is Tokyo Vice!

Just finished 1883. Breathtaking and utterly depressing at the same time.

Absolutely loved Yellowstone and have started 1923 but hadn’t heard of 1883. Will start binging that tonight! 

Carter

@ValleyGary is spot on about 1883 nothing gets romanticised or flowered up, at all! I was in absolute awe watching it, the scenery and sense of feeling like I was there was something you don't often experience watching a film or TV series
