What was the last TV show you watched?

I found the film odd, and the premise frankly silly. I was gobsmacked to learn they made it into a TV series.

To each their own of course!

It's fair to say that there's an element of suspension of disbelief in the premise (though I'd say that's true for every single post-apocalyptic film I've ever seen, bar The Road), but it definitely benefits from the longer form narrative - much richer world-building.

Lots of landscaping work going on, so just a couple of Superstore episodes to relax during work breaks.

The wife found a cheap deal for a three month trial of Britbox via Amazon on Friday, so I've watched pretty much all of the first series of the original Doctor Who already. Rubbish name for a streaming service, but some great content in it if you like old BBC & ITV stuff. Fans of the original Spitting Image should be wary: the new series they've made exclusively for Britbox is very hit and miss, certainly not close to as sharp as I remember the original satire being.

Finished the Netflix offering "Fatma" a Turkish produced 6 episode series. A bit uneven but the plot very quirky and innovative. The lead actress was very compelling and I can say the first Turk TV I have ever watched. Emboldened I will likely try it again when the opportunity presents.

Gangs of London. AMC. This show is so over the top sometimes that it makes me chuckle out loud. I sense this is standard action movie affair making its way to the TV series realm, but in my scope of watching, it's unique like that. It's like a Rick Glassman youtube podcast. Thoroughly enjoying this season, but like I often feel, I wish this was a limited series. Or maybe one of those series that makes each season a new story with a beginning, middle, and end. I hope that's what happens here. I haven't read anything about this series other than looking up a couple actors. I'm nearly done being interested in the Wallaces.

A mishmash recently - Latest Gangs of London, episode 13 season 13 of Supernatural, and ep. 3 season 3 of Frontier.

Still bitter Discovery and Netflix cancelled Frontier.

Wife has a better appreciation for Jason Momoa, only having seen him in GoT.

Gangs of London. AMC. season finale. This show was fun. A nice surprise for the summer. But they sure did get lazy with the story the further the season went. I don't particularly care for their flashbacks and time play. I don't think it was necessary, just a way to jerk the audience.

Mr Inbetween. FX. Another very good episode. I laughed aloud a couple times, and Ray's character development is solid. You need the 5.1 stereo set for this one, but I say that for all the FX shows. If I have any complaint, it is that the audio people flubbed Scott Ryan's soft-spoken approach to this character. Everyone else is at a normal level, and Ray can barely be heard.

Pretty late to it but I have been heavily indulging in all the series of Fargo.

Particularly enjoyed season one as Martin Freeman is pure brilliance as Lester Nygaard.

Now on season four and still absolutely gripped.

One of our recent favourites. We watched series 3 first, then I saw 1 and 2, watched 4 with my wife, and then caught her up on 1 and 2. A bit of a mess, but it all worked out!

 

[MisterCairo]

After what we thought was the season finale of Gangs of London, we watched the season finale of Gangs of London!

 

[MisterCairo]

Forgot, on Sunday the season finale of Fear the Walking Dead. What a blast...

Given that it's an anthology type deal I'm sure that didn't matter one bit!

It's been amazing so far!

Prime offering...."The Gloaming" a detective/gothic/supernatural/ series from Aus. It is weird but the performances are good plus we get a bit of a travelogue through Tasmania.....not likely to ever get there.

My go to show first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee. I never tire of it no matter how many times I have watched it.

At the end of series 4 there is a link to an earlier series that made me jump out of my seat. My wife, not having seen the earlier one, did not get the ref until we watched the earlier one together.

I am the same way with a couple of shows -Millennium and Longmire in particular.

Just curious - why is Britbox (in your opinion) a rubbish name, and what would you suggest as a not rubbish alternative?

 

[Touchofevil]

Just a couple of episodes of The Andy Griffith Show and whatever was playing in the background.

 

[MisterCairo]

Supernatural season 13 episode 18, and then Parks and Rec.
