New Tv series (REMEMBER: No Spoilers)
Comments

I'm enjoying the first season of Patriot. The show has a Wes Anderson feel that isn't usually my thing but the pacing and dark humour had got me hooked.0

Started watching Cleaning up, not really sure about it. Not that bad as i dont mind Sheridan Smith so will probably stick with it, yesterday half watched in the background so not a good sign.
Next new series been told Luther so will probably give that a go soon0 -
Really enjoyed the first episode of the new series of the grand tour.1

Watched it last night. Not really a fan of Martin Clunes but really enjoyed this. Agreed, great TV drama.Riviera said:Thought Manhunt was excellent. Martin Clunes is a mighty fine actor. There was some artistic licence as characters and events were invented for dramatic effect, we were told this. However the biggest thing from this was that although dear old DCI Sutton was an old school detective who relied on methodical police work, taking the long and laborious route to collect evidence we all know that 99% of all serious crimes are solved through information received.
A great TV drama nonetheless.0 -
My missus read the book and started doing peculiar things with her sock drawer and then when this came along she made me watch it, doesn’t hurt that she is just a smidge gorgeous too eh..Glovepup said:Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix.
My brother and his other half raved about her book for years, I get it now. Great watch and revoluionsary imo.0 -
Anybody watched the new series of Star Trek Discovery? I thought I'd give it a chance to see if they'd learnt anything from the train wreck of the first series and tried to fix it. If anything, it's even worse. Michael Burnham is even more of an objectionable and insufferable know-it-all. I didn't think that was possible.0

Has anyone watched “Britain’s Youngest Football Boss” on BBC3/iPlayer? It’s a documentary Netflix style aabout David Sullivan’s 18 year old son’s attempt to be managing director of West Ham Ladies. I was half way through episode 2 before I realised that it wasn’t a spoof. I’m speechless.0

Yeah he doesn't have a clue does he?. Episode 3 is available atm. Think they beat us in a cup competition so may feature in future episodes.Sillybilly said:Has anyone watched “Britain’s Youngest Football Boss” on BBC3/iPlayer?

Erase series 2 from your mind and tell yourself Sharp Objects was series 2 insteadChef_addick said:New series of True Detective has started, 1 episode in and it's already better than the second season, feels very much like the first one.

Watched the first series of Tin Star but was clinging on by my fingertips towards the end. Really just wanted to see what happened. Got three quarters of the way through the first episode of season two last night and gave up. Utter nonsense. Absolutely no empathy with any of the characters. Won’t be bothering with the rest.1

Has anyone watched F is for Family on Netflix? I’ve ploughed through the first three seasons in record time. Kind of like a ruder King of the Hill animated series, really enjoyed it.2

The Sheridan Smith thing really is shit.SuedeAdidas said:I didn’t watch it (but probably will).......did it crowbar sections in that supposedly tell the viewer what they are talking about re the trading?
That awful Nick Leeson film with McGregor in it did that and it drove me mad.....
Leeson to junior office worker - ‘what is today’s margin call?’
Junior - ‘what’s a margin call?’
Leeson - ‘well, a margin call is.......’
This week’s episode had a 10 minute section that was as stated above.
It’s painful.1 -
Agree with that.Sillybilly said:Watched the first series of Tin Star but was clinging on by my fingertips towards the end. Really just wanted to see what happened.

Persevered to the end of the first series, but only just to see how it finished.
Wasn't intending to even start series two, and by the sound of it that seems like a good plan!1 -
I agree, i have been watching it but still couldn't really give much of a report.SuedeAdidas said:

Thought the third series was weak in comparison to the first two. The scene where Bill is under the bed while his parents are at it is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.se9addick said:Has anyone watched F is for Family on Netflix?

If you're a fan of FIFF, I recommend Big Mouth0 -

Re FIFF, because I watched it all back to back I didn’t really notice when one season turned into another. Don’t think a fourth season has been approved yet?0 -
the Sheridan Smith thing really is dross but I've watched the first four episodes so will stick with it for the last two. Death in Paradise has had it's day now and it's gotten too ridiculous for words.2

Anyone else watching ‘American History’s Biggest Fibs’ by Lucy Worsley on BBC4? A very insightful potted history of, in the main, America’s political development. In 3 one hour episodes with the final part next Thursday.

She'll do any programme,as long as it gives her a chance to dress up in period costume.Chaz Hill said:Anyone else watching ‘American History’s Biggest Fibs’ by Lucy Worsley on BBC4?

I do find her programmes very watchable and this one is particularly good especially given the current state of US politics (not that ours is much better).1 -

I've watched the first episode and thought it was very good. I know next to nothing about American history, so it's a learning experience for me, but shocking how much of history is just basically bollocks that someone has made up.Chaz Hill said:Anyone else watching ‘American History’s Biggest Fibs’ by Lucy Worsley on BBC4?

Second episode is even better. Covers the Civil War and the undercurrents that exist today as a result.Wilma said:

Up to date with Power.
Great ending to series 5.
Thinking of Ozark- yay or nay?
Heard similarities to Breaking Bad which we enjoyed.
Or maybe You.
What do you all reckon.1 -
Vera. ITV Sunday night.
Yes, I know it's a bit twee & not one of your Games of Thrones or Netflix offerings.....but I like BB's character & the scenery is pretty good too.2 -
I enjoyed season 1 of Ozark. Watched it a few months ago. Not got round to season 2 yet which is thought to be a bit slow if I recall from some comments on here.MrOneLung said:Up to date with Power.

Don’t judge me but I’ve knocked out the whole first season of Titans on Netflix this weekend, thought I’d better test it before the kids asked to watch it, but they won’t be watching it, it’s well violent and full of F-bombs, very different to the Burt Ward Robin I grew up watching but I did enjoy it...0
