It’s getting dinged a lot on Prime as there’s apparently mandatory commercials.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I think in the US, it's part of Amazon's freemium offering and not Prime itself and hence the commercials. Luckily, here in India, it's on Prime so we get to see it without any interruptions.
Makes some sense, but it’s an irritant for Prime members. Oh, well.
Oh, I would definitely be annoyed at paying full price for a Prime membership and yet have to sit through commercials for an "Amazon Original" TV show.
Would help if people put which channel/streaming platform the shows are on when recommending.
Came up early in the thread...I think there are a few that don't use official channels to watch
Just a few though...and for reporting purposes of course.Been bingeing the Witcher this last week, it's not bad. I've not read the books or played the games so I've gone into it blind.
I'd say it's a bit like GOT only it's not shit.
Plenty of boob too. Which is always a good thing.

Strange New Worlds is good so far
It's solid
Yep that’s fine but just where it’s on a official streaming service/channel then it would be useful to know. Not looking for disclosures of any dodgy sites.Came up early in the thread...I think there are a few that don't use official channels to watch
Said before probably here, but a classic is Fringe, really nice sci-fi.
Clark on netflix is brilliant.
Anyone seen Godfather of Harlem? Watched an episode the other day...and I thought it was fantastic.
Bosch: Legacy is great if you liked the earlier show.
Yeah, can't wait for season 3, excellent series!
Is it true that Maddy get's much more screen time? I'm really hoping the quality is on par if not better than the original series.
Wish Jerry had he's own spin off actually.
I never really took to her strongly in the original, and was irritating at times. Anyway, I suppose it being Legacy, meant that she would be assuming a bigger role in this one. It's currently rated higher than Bosch itself, so they doing something right.Yes
I think it's brilliant, going to watch the sixth episode tonight.
I'm tempted to not wait for the 27th and just start already, but I have enough on my plate for now.

It's definitely worth a try - I really like that they've kept that "LA vibe". I still feels like the city itself is a character in the show.
Yes! Just finished both seasons last night, brilliant series, Boardwalk Empire vibes.
What's also cool about Godfather of Harlem is that the characters are based on real folk and some of the historical events are incorporated so well into it. It's a really well written series.
I always use JustWatch:
https://www.justwatch.com/
Integrates all the streaming/pay sites snd shows you where you can watch whatever movie or tv series.
It’s also useful as it shows what quality they are available in too.
Thanks, that looks useful.

Has anybody seen The Dekalog?
The bloke playing Malcolm X has done a brilliant job. Cracking stuff.
Just see there's a series of The Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix that came out last week, anyone watch it yet?
Pulling only 7.7 on imdb.

Getting good scores on rotten Tomatoes.
Is it monster of the week stuff or is it built around two or three stories. I hate monster of the week stuff.
I started watching The Staircase. The HBO version. I was skeptical going in because I've obviously watched the Netflix documentary on the true story, but I got to say it's really good so far. Surprisingly gripping even though you know what's going to happen. It also helps that you still don't really know if he's innocent or guilty. I flip back and forth, to be honest.
Yeah it seems decent.
Looks like it has a season storyline arc based on that trailer, but maybe with some cases in between or something? Not sure.
Will add it to the list but under 8, means it doesn't jump the queue. Doesn't look as gripping as Goliath season 1.
Hopefully someone here can break the ice and watch it and let us know how it is.
I kept seeing the trailer pop up for this one. I didn't care for wanting to watch te Netflix doc for some reason, I don't know why, the story just didn't appeal to me. Kinda assumed the guy was guilty and Netflix added some drama to make us question things.
May give it a watch at some point only because the cast looks good.
Yea that is grand as long as it is not murder she wrote every episode.
I watched goliath season 1 and thought it was brilliant. But then read season 2 was terrible so i didnt bother with it.
Murder she wrote
Yeah I wouldn't recommend it either, it really falls off a cliff and gets super weird. I just finished it hoping it would get back to season 1s brilliance, but sadly it didn't.
I'd definitely recommend watching the Netflix doc first.
Thanks for the spoiler.
Decided to give it 2 episodes, and while there's some cheesiness to it, I am definitely intrigued by the storyline to see how it unfolds.
@Hugh Jass its as I predicted, big overall storyline for the season, with small cases each episode that builds up the different characters in the series.
A bit like Bosch meets Suits.
Bosch - the main characters balcony gave me Bosch house vibes immediately. Also has a daughter dynamic. It's in LA as well.
Suits - for the witty attempts and the 'rabbit out of the hat' lawyering solutions.
I think 7.7 is about spot on for it.
I just hope they finish the main plot and not end it on a cliffhanger, cause then I'd be pissed.
Is it different from the movie?
Yes in terms of the storyline. Can't remember if the back story of the Micky is the same though, but he of course is in there and some of the other characters are in the series but portrayed differently.
Really?
