Anyone watching Criminal Code? The new show on Apple?
Succession was the last great show for me. It’s a must watch.Waiting a week for a new episode was great. Everyone was on the same plane and you'd speculate all week what's gonna happen.
There's a lot of good stuff out but most of the "brilliant" and "must see" ones are plain trash though.
Just the other day I realized that it's been quite a long while since we've had a groundbreaking series to watch. GoT (first few seasons) was the last one I think.
Where's all the Sopranos, Losts and The Wires? Stranger Things started strong but turned into bubble gum.
I recommend reading the books. I doubt the show will do Cixin Liu justice.
I really liked this one, thought all 3 seasons were very good.Just started upload, has been sat on my HDD for a while.
It reads well, lets seen
Tried sopranos and the wire and they did nothing for me. Breaking bad and Game of thrones are the best ever for meThis is like asking where are the federers, nadals and djokovics of today's game. That period of the 00s was just a freaky one for classic shows.
Enjoy it.Watching True Detective season 1 for the first time. Hope it lives up to the hype
It’s the same deluded hacks who were behind Game of Thrones, so they probably think they can write a much better story than Liu. They’ve also cast Sam Tarly in it, which is a bad sign.I recommend reading the books. I doubt the show will do Cixin Liu justice.

Uh oh, that does not bode well!It’s the same deluded hacks who were behind Game of Thrones, so they probably think they can write a much better story than Liu. They’ve also cast Sam Tarly in it, which is a bad sign.
I really enjoyed the books, especially the second one (probably the most depressing and disturbing sci-fi book I’ve ever read) but those jokers are the last people I’d want handling something as cerebral and challenging as Three Body.
And I was unimpressed by breaking bad. Swings and roundabouts.Tried sopranos and the wire and they did nothing for me. Breaking bad and Game of thrones are the best ever for me
Done season 1 halfway thought season 2 , very good so far, in parts bat shit crazy.I really liked this one, thought all 3 seasons were very good.
Yeah it is, I love the AI characters and ended up thinking the crazy girlfriend was really funny in the end.Done season 1 halfway thought season 2 , very good so far, in parts bat shit crazy.
Very jealous. Would love to be able to go in blind on that again.Watching True Detective season 1 for the first time. Hope it lives up to the hype
I'm only halfway through so haven't been reading about it... how come he's been kicked out?It's top, but there are now issues as they kicked out Costner. Have not watched the spin offs yet though
I’m surprised you say that about sopranos. I gave it a miss in the 90s but I’m enjoying it now.Tried sopranos and the wire and they did nothing for me. Breaking bad and Game of thrones are the best ever for me
I think he wanted more influence in the script or soI'm only halfway through so haven't been reading about it... how come he's been kicked out?
That's a shame, won't be the same without him (based on what I've seen so far upto season 3).I think he wanted more influence in the script or so
Yeah, think they will let him die now or smthThat's a shame, won't be the same without him (based on what I've seen so far upto season 3).
Not read the books but the show is worth watching, 2nd season was better than the first so that bodes well for the future.Should I start watching Wheel of Time?
Busy with the first book, so maybe now is the time to watch it and not be disappointed in the show?
Or would I spoiler the books?
A couple of episodes in and it seems undemanding and formulaic but entertaining popcorn TV.Watched that Fool Me Once show on Netflix. Decent enough. After watching the recommendations where like 6 other mini series by the same author. Read up on him and the man pumps out at least 1 book a year for 30 years now and has 14 show deal with Netflix.
Yeah it's a 6-7 out of 10, higher if this kind of show is really your jam. Definitely gets less formulaic as it goes on.A couple of episodes in and it seems undemanding and formulaic but entertaining popcorn TV.
Loudermilk really grew on me, binged my way through that during the summer. Waiting eagerly for the next season.Randomly put on first episode of LOUDERMILK and enjoyed it.
BERLIN is suffering from too much focus on the dull supporting characters and soppy romantic sub-plots.
I was talking about the MONEY HEIST spin-off. I want to give BERLIN STATION a go because I like spy showsLoudermilk really grew on me, binged my way through that during the summer. Waiting eagerly for the next season.
Gave up on Berlin Station (if that's what you're referring to here) midway through the second episode, just obviously pretty bad to me.
Aaah....well, in that case I couldn't agree more when you complain about it overdoing things on the latino romance front. Oh God, the endless soliloquys.I was talking about the MONEY HEIST spin-off. I want to give BERLIN STATION a go because I like spy shows
I enjoyed it although a bit less each season. That said I'd have watched a 4th season if they had made one.I want to give BERLIN STATION a go because I like spy shows
Never heard of Turn before, will have to give it a go, read a few reviews and it sounds like my kind of series, cheers mate.We've become quite caught up (in between waiting for the next instalment of Fargo Season 5) in the American war of independence spy drama Turn. Really good plot and some memorable characters, fictional and historical both. It really gets going in season 2.
Took a while to get used to the fact that certain scenes were flashback scenes but apart from that solid episode.Just saw the first episode of Monsieur Spade and quite like it. I hope the remaining episodes live up to it.
Was that Brian Cox at the end??
