Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

[Wibble]

Jesus, the end of season two of Mr. Inbetween really tore me up.

Not at all what you imagine when you start S1.

The end of S3 is also brilliant in different ways. Not many shows that plant the landing so well.

 

[SirAnderson]

All this Mr Inbetween talk makes me want to go watch it again.
It's so damn close to being my favorite, just sad they couldn't make more, but I completely understand why, the amount itself is also what contributes to making it so good.

 

[SirAnderson]

I struggled to get passed a few episodes of Ray Donovan for some reason, I just could not get it to stick, and gave up.

 

[calodo2003]

Noted. How many seasons?

7 iirc.

 

[Dirty Schwein]

Watching From at the moment. Decent horror show, just wish it had better acting.

I think I dropped out early in season 2

Just got done with the series about an hour ago.

I totally agree. While I would have loved another season out of pure greed, all major loose ends were tied off pretty much effortlessly. Didn’t agree with how all of them played out, but ‘sticking the landing’ is a proper way to describe the show’s finale.

An unexpectedly brilliant show for me.

In particular I thought

Spoiler

the ambush action sequence was excellent, the final confrontation with Freddy was all the better for not taking the obvious option with Ray walking away and of course the final taxi journey was horribly tense and very satisfying - RUN.

Loved his smile at the end. Don’t think those two punks fared very well in the coming minutes.

Seen three episodes of the new season of Mayor of Kingstown and it's every bit as good as S1 imo.

Gets real fun.

Looking forward to the rest of it! Taylor Sheridan is creating some great shows with this, Yellowstone and Tulsa King. Oh and Ofcourse he's written Sicario as well!

The smile then breaking the 4th wall was great - RUN

I also thought it had a big element of him accepting that he couldn't entirely run away from his nature

 

[Gambit]

Really enjoying Silo so far on Apple.

Same here. Episode 3 was tense as feck.

 

[TheGame]

Just finished season 2 of Tehran, thought it was really good. It’s renewed for season 3 and Hugh Laurie will be in it.

 

[RedDevilRoshi]

Finished Beef on Netflix. Thought it started off pretty good but it started becoming a bit stale midway through. Decent finale but overall wouldn’t class it as a “must watch” series.

Going to start Succession and I have 6 months free Apple TV that I still need to activate and gonna give Ted Lasso a watch.

 

[P-Nut]

Just watched the new 'Dear Mama' documentary on the life of Tupac and his mum.

It's produced by the defiant ones group so has that same feel, I'm biased as a massive Tupac fan, but I'd recommend it to almost anyone as it's near perfectly done.

 

[WeePat]

Not one single bad episode on Tariq, 3 seasons in. Is it too much to suggest it might be better than the original Power?

 

[TheGame]

I struggled to get passed a few episodes of Ray Donovan for some reason, I just could not get it to stick, and gave up.

For me one of the best shows I’ve watched. Worth sticking with. Some storylines are slow burners.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Just started season 2 of Tehran.
Excellent opening ep.

 

[wr8_utd]

Has anyone watched Sahsiyet? It's a Turkish crime show.

 

[SirAnderson]

Has anyone watched Sahsiyet? It's a Turkish crime show.

Just googled, 9/10 on IMDb, think I will give it a try. Hope it won't be hard to source and have readily available subs.
It's a mini series to so nice 12 episodes and done. Hope its good

 

[SirAnderson]

Just started season 2 of Tehran.
Excellent opening ep.

Can't remember how season 1 ended, will need a recap before jumping in, but good to know it's keeping its quality.

I watched season 2 in one sitting last night, its very good and has been given a 3rd season.

 

[George Owen]

"For All Mankind" is so good.

 

[Salt Bailly]

"For All Mankind" is so good.

Binged it all over Christmas. Can't wait for S4 later this year.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Finished season 1 of Carnival Row, after reading reviews on here, I was nt sure about it.
Yeah if slow in parts, but I enjoyed it, last few eps were very good.
I would give it a solid 7/10.

 

[wr8_utd]

On the finale of Season 2 of Mayor of Kingstown and just feels like they've made it needlessly complicated and intentionally muddled when it could have all been resolved.

 

[peridigm]

"For All Mankind" is so good.

Agreed. Just started watching it over the weekend.

 

[Nialler]

I watched season 2 in one sitting last night, its very good and has been given a 3rd season.

I loved it, great characters, intricate plots.

If you haven't watched it yet check out 'Fauda'

Watched first episode of Black Bird on Apple TV, good start.

Just finished the second episode of Blue Lights, pretty engaging so far. The female protagonist is a doppelganger of my ex-fiancee.

Cheers I will check it out.

It's great, gets even better as it goes along.

 

[calodo2003]

It's great, gets even better as it goes along.

Just started e 5, definitely on an ascendant path.

Disappointing that it is only six episodes long though.

e - glad it’s been renewed for a second season, but it’s disappointing that it won’t air til at least next spring.

 

[Swordsman]

fubar is just out on netflix..

if you like no brainer action comedy show.

I only watch this because of Arnold and Monica.

FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL

A dramatisation of the events that unfolded at Memorial Hospital in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, starring Vera Farmiga as a surgeon whose actions at the hospital on the 5th day come under scrutiny in the aftermath.

This show does not sugarcoat the abhorrent conditions at the hospital as they lose power and the building turns into a cooker, slowly dissolving into a war zone (a character compares the evacuation to the Fall of Saigon). Without spoiling anything, it expertly conveys the grey area that is end-of-life patient care in the event of a disaster and exposes the utter failure of government at every level.

As much as I enjoyed the first two thirds of the show covering each day in the hospital, I actually liked the final third - which is more of a procedural - even more.

Highly recommended and also feck you @calodo2003 for making watch that good boy be put to sleep.

8/10

 

[Volumiza]

@Wibble - finally got round to watching some Mr Inbetween.

You were right. It is awesome. Totally original and crazily absorbing.
