Me too. Everything about it was brilliant.

I like to watch 'Strike Back' when I'm tired, and just fancy some light hearted fun, explosions, and knockers.

Have just discovered a show called Camelot, starring Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green. Was not aware of its existence, even though it was made back in 2011. I will be giving it a try.

Just found this last week, just started series 2, pretty good.

This or Black Mirror next for me.

Ashamed to say I haven't got round to watching Black Mirror yet, but Seven Seconds is 10hrs of excellence imo.

Black Mirror S4 was average. Yank influence diluting it imo. A bit try hard these days

Been cracking on with Game of Thrones recently (just finished S2) and I'm enjoying though feel it's a bit overhyped. Very different shows of course but it's not in the Mad Men, Breaking Bad league that people seem to put it in.

Its not great but Eva does get naked

:lux:lux:

Despite the constant adverts being over-hyped by Sky, Save Me with Lennie James and Suranne Jones was a really good watch, albeit a little uncomfortable in places. Thanks to a lazy snow day, managed to watch all six episodes in one hit yesterday afternoon.

The young offenders and two doors down worth a watch

Eva consistently needs to release herself from the confines of her clothing, I think only Jennifer Lawrence hides them less.

Marcella is proper weird this time. Real behind the sofa stuff.

Enjoying Shetland, as I did the last series.

Shetland is good, I think I enjoy it purely because of the setting.

Thought it was pony.


Sorry, not seen it but couldn’t resist.

:supergrin:

The Young Offenders is one of the best things on TV at present.

Loved the last one with the Tuna and can't wait for the next one after the scream at the end ����������

Is it a mini-series?

Completely underwhelmed with TV dramas at the moment. McMafia was hard work. Him and his girlfriend were complete drips. Don't get me started on Hard Sun. Like it was written by a child. Agnes Deyn is not an actress. The same could be said for Aisling Bea, who's attempt at a London accent was awful. Trying to get into Collateral, but struggling with that too. Everything just seems poorly written and poorly acted. Trauma on ITV wasn't much better.

We gave up on all of those too. Requiem was a load of old bollocks as well, nobody ever heard of a paternity test? Well acted I suppose, but could easily have been 3/4 parts.

Strike on iplayer was pretty good.

Have not yet started on McMafia but really enjoying Collateral. How Hard Sun ever got made is still a mystery to me.

For any fellow Trekkies out there, I'm re-watching the entire series in chronological order by following the Star Trek Chronology Project.

I re-watched all of Enterprise (very underrated in my opinion) and I've just finished Discovery on Netflix. I really enjoyed it. It's not Star Trek in the style I know and love (Next Generation, Deep Space 9 and Voyager) and has a fair few canon continuity issues to be resolved but as a piece of televisual entertainment, it was excellent and I enjoyed it much more than the original series.

Cheers Myceliumboys,

I had high hopes for Collateral due to the quality cast and director, but it seems to be a gathering of todays trendy topics with a plot written to cobble them together.

Great locations and a wonderfully oppressive atmosphere, but it is hard to find a character to empathise with. The pregnant polevaulting detective ? The lesbian vicar ? The sexually abused assassin ? The delinquent mother ? The corrupt MP ?
Or the illegal immigrants facing deportation ?

Obviously I will miss the finale tonight because of the football, but maybe someone could let me know if it is worth wasting an hour catching up on iPlayer ?

Watched the final Collateral, it was rushed and left no loose ends, thats all I can say without spoiling it too much.

As usual I am behind the times.

Enjoying Peaky Blinders.

Looming Tower

Penelope Keith's Hidden Villages - I must be getting old!

24 hours in Police Custody

Probably going to fill any Trekkie full of dread but have been watching some of Seth MacFarlane's 'The Orville' and expected it to be Family Guy gross out humour but isn't. Definitely very un-PC but very reminiscent in looks and storylines to TNG but with more humour and sarcasm. Undecided yet until I watch a few more.

Life in Pieces on Amazon Prime

Have just finished 'Godless'. A seven episode mini-series set in frontier America (the Wild West).

All wrapped up satisfyingly after 7 the seven episodes. I enjoyed it.

Totally agree. Great show.

Requiem was good too. Wasn't entirely sure what was happening in parts but I agree well acted except for the lead character's annoying fringe

That was excellent.

Plenty of short, sharp laughs . Good show.

Quite agree regarding Requiem - the ending was atrocious! Spoiled what I thought had been okay up until then. Paternity test would have saved a lot of bother though!!

I agree the ending to Requiem was so rushed and stupid, it'd been reasonable up until then.

Line of Duty is a bit good isn't it

2nd season of Jessica Jones has just 'dropped' on Netflix.

I recently revisited Series One of 'Happy Valley' after not liking it first time round due to its slightly clumsy feminist slant. For some reason, this time around, I was able to overcome my sensitivities as an oppressed minority and enjoyed it so much, I blasted through season two as well.

Very Northern.

Black Mirror is a bit good init.

This Country and Young Offenders are my favourite shows on TV at present

Just watched the first episode of 'The Young Pope'. Not a huge Jude Law fan, but most entertaining. Like Father Ted, I guess it helps if you went through the Catholic school experience.

Loving Save Me on Sky Atlantic but fully expect to be let down by a crap ending

How far are you into the show? You can download them all. We watched it over two nights. Really enjoyed it.

Five in. One to go. Was too late last night to watch it and now might have to wait until after the weekend.

Didn’t realise until last night that Lennie James wrote it.

It is really good but obviously the subject matter is very disturbing.

I would like to add another glowing recommendation to 'Seven Seconds' on Netflix - difficult not to binge watch.

Just finished another called 'Dark' which being subtitled from German may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thoroughly enjoyed it - be interesting to see what others thought.

New Hap and Leonard on Amazon. Hidden Gem, well, sort of hidden.

Into Season 5 of Seinfeld :)

Probably been mentioned before, but ‘Save Me’ was excellent :p

Civilisations

Just watched the first episode. I thought it was slow and the fundamental premise just seemed a bit unfeasible. Not only that it appears set up to be overly politically right on. Not sure i’ll bother with anymore of it.

The Assassination Of Gianni Versace - the first part of nine

?

God, where to start.

To summarize, the Kenneth Clark original series is where it's at, allowing Schama this level of editorial and free will is just awful and personally, Mary Beard is unwatchable.

I can't stand it.

Seinfeld season 5 is a great season, possibly the best but 4 was very good too.

This is like saying beer is good

Supposedly, Clark's version very imperialistic - centering mostly on Western civilisation, this one shows art from South America, Africa and Asia too.

On the I Player, 78/52 a documentary about the Psycho shower scene

BBC2 tonight in a minute at 9.

Life and Death Row.

Don't be put off as it's the 4th of a 4 part series a each one is unique.

Incredibly thought provoking.

On UKPlay an episode of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries starring the rather wonderful Essie Davis

Have just watched first on new series of Lee Mack's Not Going Out. Corny, but very funny. Shame his wife has had her hair cropped though.

The murder of Versace on BBC Iplayer. Good stuff.

I'm onto episode 9 of this. Really enjoying it.

It's dubbed, not subtitled, but you actually forget about that as it's done pretty well

I was in England over the weekend and watched an episode of Murder, Mystery and my family. There are 10 episodes each involving a family member of someone executed in Britain in the 20th century trying to get the decision to execute them reviewed. Remarkable good for a programme that went out at 9am on a weekday.

5 episodes in now - Although I switched from Dub to Subtitles, as they were annoying me (Netflix). It strikes me as a much more mature and serious 'Stranger Things'.

Not so much a recommendation more a comment.

Marcella - great story but the main character does my head in, she is far to crazy to make her likeable in anyway.

I hear that Netflix have commissioned a second series :p

Yeah but she's buff ting so I don't care

Cheers for that, I will Iplayer it.

Skin Wars Fresh Paint
Nailed It!

Classics, the pair of them.

Now i've seen it all it looks like it was always planned. Can't wait.

Young Sheldon.

Let me start off by saying I hate The Big Bang Theory and all its characters. In particular Sheldon Cooper but this is totally different. It's genuinely funny for starters.

It reminds me of The Wonder Years but it's far funnier and warmer.
They are some great characters in this, the best being meemaw. Sheldon's ma and pa are both great too. And his twin sis and older brother.

You really should watch this whether you hate TBBT or not.
I hate it but I love this.
And Sheldon jnr is far less punchable than his snr.

double post.

I have never watched a whole episode of the Big Bang Theory, (watched a bit and didn't get it, a bit like Friends), but do find Young Sheldon innocently amusing mainly, as you say, in a Wonder Years/Malcolm in the Middle watch it when hungover kind of way.

I watched it against my wishes so was determined not to like it.

It's got some genuinely funny moments for me.

I agree it's ok.

This Country - mental



No Activity - pure class

Finished seven seconds last night. Brillant.

Well behind the times again. Enjoying Black Window - some interesting dark situations.

Mum - a sublime mix of comedy and drama

Watching some obscure (to me) British stuff stuff on Amazon - Secret Smile, with a brilliantly creepy David Tennant and 'The Take' with Tom Hardy warming up for his role as the Krays.

Had never heard of either show

The Repair Shop

Tried watching that, but each time I turn up to see it they keep telling me to come back tomorrow

Dark on Netflix.

Secret Smile was brilliant, I´ll check that out on Amazon, thanks. :p

LA92

By episode 10 I was very grateful of the family trees on Wikipedia.

Anybody watched Mr Mercedes?

I enjoyed this documentary about the Freemasons that was on the BBC last night.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod...-of-the-masons

Liking this.

Spartacus Gods: of the arena
Hillarious dialogue and plenty of boobs

not a tv prog it's radio but very, very good and funny. 4 shows. 1/2 hour each.

BBC Radio 4 - Andy Hamilton Sort of Remembers. Bit of nostalgia

On youtube now

Just finished Fargo season 2 . Highly recommend it .

This versatile meme received a number of outings on the Brighton threads each time fate conspired to break their hearts

https://i.imgflip.com/26v1rr.jpg

Recommended this during the first series. Similar theme every week but so brilliantly acted. Peter Mullen and Lesley Manville are fantastic.

Also love Two Doors Down.

On Uk Play - Mercy Street - about nurses during the American Civil War

Second season of 'Sneaky Pete' appeared on Amazon recently. They've gone in a bonkers direction and must've been properly on the mushrooms with some of the stuff they came up with. V good.

Catching up with Ash vs Evil Dead
