Has anyone seen OZ and is it worth watching? Bit of a flashback.
Television Recommend me a TV Show (more TV reviews now)
- Thread starter Red Pavan
- Start date
Yeah, pretty damn good.
Tried watching it years ago and think I got till the end off season 2 and just never finished it and I can't remember why. Think it might have been the weird narration thing that they did every episode and it probably didn't help that I was watching it on a dodgy streaming site so the rip of it was very dated but the actual show from what I remember was decent.
Top tier.
Until it jumps the shark.
Don't remember a shark-jumping moment, what happened?
The ageing pill.
Oh yes.
Will give Oz a go. Just finished S3 of Tehran. Decent if a bit unrealistic and silly at times.
Have no memory of that.
Oz is often excellent and sometimes ridiculous. Still some scenes that make me squirm thinking back to them.
Batman: Caped Crusader is great. Proper old school.

Yes it’s great. Maybe don’t get too attached to any of the characters though. Chances are they won’t be around very long.
Cheers.
Just put Ms. X on, has anyone seen it?
Just finished watching The Agency. Very good indeed and definitely well worth watching. Great plot and very well acted. Best thing I have watched for a long time.
Agreed. Satisfied the hole left by Homeland for me. Hopefully not as long of a wait for S3. I'm the meanwhile I've started Tehran after hearing positive reviews but the only thing that bothers me is yet another spy show focusing on Iran.
Stuart Fails to save the universe
Sci Fi spin off of the Big bang theory. 2 eps out so far and it's not bad. Nice to see all the familiar faces

Watched the first episode but didn't stick with it
You won't be disappointed with Tehran. It is another good series.
I have also watched Little Drummer Girl and thought it was good as well. Although a bit difficult to follow at times.
Have you watched The Americans?
Ah yes thanks for little drummer girl I forgot about that one.
I started the Americans- but since I'm also still getting thru the Diplomat, I was getting Keri Russell overload, so I stopped. But I should probably circle back to it.
Have you watched Berlin Station or Secret Service? I started the first but it wasn't grabbing me right away but may circle back. The second I heard mixed reviews about and I'd figure I'd see if they d renew it before I commit.
Keri Russell really is beautiful. Yes I have watched a bit of each of those but much like you, wasn't struck by them.
My wife and I just watched this wild documentary on iPlayer called "the Mother of all cons", about a fake charity, part of the story at the start of episode 2 involves a private plane flying across the Atlantic, 10 downing street and the Whitehouse
The Americans is too quality, watch it through.
Definitely. A bit harrowing at times but it was a great show
I'm loving The Americans. Just started S4. Its seems like one of those where I'll be bereft for a few weeks after I finish it.
Most definitely.
Berlin Station was so good but left completely unfinished. Deutschland 83 is another great spy show.
The Undeclared War on Peacock is quite enjoyable.
Saw the adverts for S3 of Vigil and so I thought I’d finally give the first series a look.
It was ok I guess - a poor man’s Line of Duty really. The Russian spy plot was kind of ridiculous, but it was quite enjoyable in a dumb kind of way.
My main issue though is that Suranne Jones isn’t a very good actor. Whenever she emotes intense emotion she has this unfortunate tendency to pull the most absurd faces, like she’s having a stroke or something. It’s pure soap opera acting. That really took me out of the show. I dunno why she’s so well regarded. She should have stuck to Coronation Street.

I enjoyed the first season but never got round to watching 2 & 3. Do they hold up to the first?
Yes. They got better. They needed a fourth season badly. Cancelled I guess. Like Tribes of Europa. Great show but numbers weren’t enough I guess.
Apple tv has some brilliant shows. Cancelled netflix for it. I will probably get hbo when it merges with paramount too.
There a whole thread about that show

Common side effect.
Thank you
Glad I got round to watching Mayor of Kingstown, fantastic show. Very rare these days that I watch multiple episodes of a show a night but this past week I've watched 2 or 3 a night. Halfway through the last season and gutted the seasons ended. Also for anyone who's watched it:
Does Mike ever find out about Iris's death? She was a massive character for multiple seasons a bit strange how they just kill her off and don't have the main protagonist find out.
My god. I agreed to try the new Gervais effort just so I could discuss it with a friend. It is so bad. Just incessant swearing, no actual jokes, and even the audio seems to be rubbish. Has there ever been a more drastic fall from grace than his career?
