Just watched episode 1. Not expecting Tenpole Tudor; bit obscure for mainstream America.Fanny Fanackapan said:Anyone watching Zero Day on Netflix tonight ?
First day it's run and already 4 episodes into the 6 & loving it.
Robert De Niro still has it.1 -
MAFS Australia. Series 12, just finished episode 16.
Jeez, this looks like its turning into the most scandalous of the lot.
Stard for most people on E4 on 3rd March

I’m watching Severance after the strong reviews on here. This type of programme is well outside my usual viewing postcode, but thought I’d give it a try as it’s not one I’d ever have picked myself.I’m 4 episodes in and struggling with it as just not enough happening. I’ll persevere, but will be surprised if it manages to properly pull me in.1

It only really starts to click second half of season 1. I gave up twice after ep 2 but it takes time to establish the characters and the premise.AFKABartram said:I’m watching Severance after the strong reviews on here.

Pulled me straight in, but a few people have said it took a while for them too. I was like that with Breaking Bad - didn't really get drawn in until near the end of season 1AFKABartram said:I’m watching Severance after the strong reviews on here.

Breaking bad, sons of anarchy, mayans mc, better call saul, the agency all hit their stride either in the second season or part way through the first1 -
Yep. I had 3 goes at G.O.T before I got hooked. I've tried breaking bad twice but haven't revisited. I'll get there in the end!Carter said:

Severance is such an odd concept it takes a bit of time to get your head around it ( no pun intended)
Stick with it I say. 1st series ends on such a cliffhanger you'll be loading up the second series before the credits have ended on the 1st.0 -
Special shout out to Zach Cherry as Dylan in Severance. Could so easily fall into the role of permanent comic relief, but he plays his character with real emotional depth - the plot line with the personality difference between his innie and his outie is really well done, and the interaction between him and the criminally underrated Merritt Weaver (seriously - she's fantastic in everything I've ever seen her in) in their scenes is wonderful.1

Started the new Stephen Graham on Disney+. A Thousand Blows. Made by the same people who did Peaky Blinders. Set in the East End of London in the 1800s and focuses on a couple of Jamaican immigrants who get involved with bare knuckle boxing. Watched the first two. Really not sure so far. Will stick with it, but am struggling with the ridiculous Cockney and Jamaican accents and slightly wooden acting.0

Dope Girls BBC1.
Recommended based on episode 1.
A bit like a female Peaky Blinders.2 -
Enjoyed Virdee on BBC0

Watched Band of Brothers again over the last week or so. Other than maybe Chernobyl, can’t think of a series since it was released that comes near to being as good (even if they did get the day Hitler died wrong).8

I've started A Thousand Blows
The accents are doing my head in, so exaggerated and theatrical the west Indian ones are about the only legit ones.
Its filmed beautifully but when most of the feedback about it I've read is about how long Stevie Graham spent in the gym rather than the acting or the plot I might have picked a dud
On a plus note 1923 is back and started well, same for the White Lotus. That's so amusingly mental and odd3 -
Sorry to hear that about A Thousand Blows. It's been getting great reviews so was looking forward to it. Will give it a go anyway. Solid first episode of 1923. Not sure I'm enjoying White Lotus as much as the previous two series - the characters aren't as compelling for me so far. Shout out for Mussolini - Son of the Century - brilliantly acted and shot, super intense.Carter said:I've started A Thousand Blows

Stick with it is my recommendation. I eventually got "used" to the accents and the plot actually develops pretty well. Ended up enjoying it.1 -
I’m glad someone’s mentioned 1923 because I have a question:Carter said:I've started A Thousand Blows

I’d heard good things about the Yellowstone group of shows but didn’t know the order they were produced, so I looked online.I then found conflicting opinions regarding whether to watch them in chronological order (ie 1883, then 1923, then Yellowstone) or watch in order of production, which I believe goes Yellowstone 1, 2, 3, 1883, YS 4, 1923, YS 5 or something like that, but also that there’s some overlap where two series were out at the same time. I’m not really sure.So what order do people think is best? Or does it not really matter?0 -
I've downloaded all the episodes of the new Chris O'Dowd and Paddy Considine series on Sky - Small Town, Big Story. The trailers look pretty good, so will start it tonight I think.0
-
I don't think it matters that much but if I were starting from scratch I'd watch them chronologically. There's also a spin off from 1883 called Lawman: Bass Reeves featuring one of the characters which was pretty good. Another prequel "1944" and another spin off "Maddison" are in the workslordromford said:

For anyone that likes 1883, I'd recommend reading Lonesome Dove which has a very similar story line of a trek from Texas to Montana (there's an oldish TV adaptation of that as well but I haven't seen it)3 -
Started the new Bob DeNiro thing on Netflix. Cant remember what it’s called. Lasted half an hour. Got bored. Might try it again sometime.Edit. It’s called Zero Day.0

I know you need to suspend disbelief when watching telly or films, but fuck me - the plot in this is absolutely laughable 🤣🤣🤣SuedeAdidas said:

I think I’ll go chronologically. I expect once I get to Yellowstone there’ll be moments when I’ll connect the dots, which appeals.
If I get to the end before 1944 comes out, there’s no harm I guess!0 -
Just finished it, wasn’t that impressed tbh. De Niro played a good part but thought the plot was a bit weak.Fanny Fanackapan said:Anyone watching Zero Day on Netflix tonight ?

I have never seen so many 10/10 episodes in a TV series as Severance. If anything, this week's is better than any before it.
Honestly, I know I'm raving about it every week, but it's so good that no television that comes after it can equal it.
Immense.1 -
Yeah, I’ll admit it’s growing on me Leroy. I’ve 1 episode left of S11
-
Severance is very good. Thought season 1 started slowly but was fantastic after the first 3 or 4 episodes. Enjoying season 2, but 10/10 is a bit much. Bread and butter 8/10 TV series1
-
I miss Patricia Arquette in it, but the story and cinematography in Servernce is next level. Best show out there at present.0
-
I more American Primeval to watch.
Been outstanding so far2 -
I am of this view too. It's good, albeit still a bit slow in places, and the early twist in S2 was fairly predictable.cafcsinger said:Severance is very good.
