Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

[Red in STL]

Just got around to watching Happy Valley (crime drama set in Yorkshire). Two seasons in and it's excellent, the first season in particular was outstanding. It's on BBC iPlayer.

Sarah Lancashire is brilliant, next watch should be Last Tango in Halifax if you haven't seen it

 

[Red in STL]

I really wanted to like it as I've heard many good things but I found it a bit too dark and depressing, I gave up after episode 3. I'm wondering if I should give it another go?

Same here, I lasted 2 episodes

 

[Red in STL]

Currently re-watching Longmire on Netflix, personally I think it's pretty good

 

[Cole9]

Silo on Apple TV+ is worth a watch. I thought it went a bit slow in the middle episodes after a strong start, but it picks up again towards the end. Looking forward to Season 2.

Yeah she's class. James Norton played the villain role really well too.

I haven't seen that actually but will check it out. Thanks.

Any recent outstanding European (or non-US) series one should take note off? Thinking on the level of Bureau or Babylon Berlin, or close to it.

Assume you’re seen Dark?

Have you seen The Returned (Les Revenants)?

 

[Superden]

It's okay, gets rated higher than that in here by many, but shouldn't.

Bosch is the Wire for us middle class types.

 

[Red in STL]

It's not a cop drama but you won't regret it, IMO it's better than Happy Valley!

 

[Bastian]

Have you seen The Returned (Les Revenants)?

Yes, seen Dark (excellent). But not the other one. Thanks for the tip, looks eerie!

 

[sglowrider]

Finished blue eyed samurai on Netflix, one of the best shows I've watched this year and I would highly recommend it.

Thanks for the recommendation. Watching it now.

Really enjoying it.

I liked it lots.

Snabba Cash and Kalifat, both on Netflix. Incredibly good series.

 

[Roosney]

Finished Full Circle on HBO, I think there was more potential but sadly it went nowhere and kind of lost focus.
They tried to stuff too many storylines into one miniseries and none of them were really that gripping.

If you don't have anything else to watch give it a go.

 

[Bastian]

Cheers - will check them out mate.

 

[ArjenIsM3]

Just finished Bosch. Now watching Bosch: Legacy. Quite good if you're into police stuff.

 

[calodo2003]

Starting a rewatch tonight...

 

[Solius]

Adding to the Blue Eye Samurai hype. Good stuff.

Anyone ever watch the 1997 show Roar with Heath Ledger and Very Farmiga?: https://www.google.com/search?q=roa...-samsung-rvo1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

Kinda surprised i had never heard of it before. Sounds campy as feck, which could be fun.

I do recall that! Classic Saturday afternoon cheese material. Had kind of a medieval vibe and took itself a little too seriously, if I remember correctly.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Yeah so Morning Show was proper shit, after a few initial promising episodes. Such an eurgh show.

Gonna watch an episode tonight for shits n giggles!

Yeah mostly. There was a few good scenes peppered through it but the b story lines were pretty awful.

 

[calodo2003]

Came out today, might give it the first episode a whirl tonight...

 

[Don Juan Matus]

Almost finished Season 2 of the excellent Invasion, a must watch for any sci-fi fans on here if you haven't already seen it!

 

[TheGame]

I thought it was decent if you stick with it. Not spectacular but decent.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I thought it was decent if you stick with it. Not spectacular but decent.

I watched the whole 3 seasons. I stick by my assessment - spectacularly poor. It has a couple of redeeming features (Billy Crudup's overall performance being the chief one), but overall it's a very poor show masquerading as a good one. It has so many tired, poor performances in it too, with so many 2 dimensional characters, it becomes painful to watch as it goes along.

The 1st couple of episodes were ok, though.

Heh, I thought the first half of the first season was shite and redeemed by a good second half, really liked where they took it in the last few episodes. Season two was crap, though. Season three about the same from what I've seen. I would say it's a "fine" show to watch with the other half. She loves it.

That's ok - mine is making me watch Will & Grace.

 

[njred]

Just started Invasion. Is it worth the time?

 

[Massive Spanner]

That's ok - mine is making me watch Will & Grace.

see maybe I like The Morning Show because compared to some of the other shit I'd have to watch if it didn't exist it's perfectly serviceable.

 

[The Cat]

12 Monkeys on itvX. Have watched it before but just saw it pop up on there.

Ha, exactly this! It's so difficult to get my wife to watch any decent shows! The last one we saw that was great was This is Us.

 

[Redplane]

Hadn't really heard anything about this show up until now when it seems like the PR has been upped with the release of season 3: how good is Slow Horses?

Worth getting into now? I usually love two things: spy thriller like shows and those framed against historical settings. And a bit of dark humor is always great. Seems like this show probably hits two of those but at the same time my patience and time for following multiple shows isn't what it used to be so if I want to know if its something that holds the attention for all 3 seasons.

It's brilliant and Gary Oldman is fantastic in it. Would give it a go!

Just finished Rabbit Hole, thought it was decent.

Pull the trigger. You'll enjoy it.

Damn, season three debuted with two episodes yesterday. Where the feck have I been?

 

[Rooney in Paris]

I get that - I personally prefer to watch shite like Will and Grace because it has an almost antiquated charm about it (also, I've never seen it) and it's pretty inoffensively (gay stereotypes notwithstanding) bland overall, which I can live with. I found the Morning Show rather annoying because I'm pretty sure the people working on it believe they are doing something important and saying something about the topics in the show: journalism, Me Too, politics, etc. Which they really, really aren't.

Yeah it's brilliant mate, a real slow burner.
