What was the last TV show you watched?

[Ernest P Shackleton]

I love that one can basically watch Downton Abbey 24/7, hopping from one primary PBS station to their several secondary channels. Thoroughly enjoy watching them over and over again.

The New Year's Eve Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fy Channel. It has been a tradition for me since I haven't had to work holidays for the past couple of years.

The show definitely has enough good stuff going one visually in period sets, clothes, cars etc., along with - mainly - interesting plots and story lines, to make the second or third watching of an episode quite enjoyable.

Finally got around to watching the last two episodes of Mr. Robot. Very entertaining.

I'm really looking forward to the start of the last season of Downton. I think it is fitting that it ends now.

Plus, the new, Victorian-themed episode of Sherlock is on this Friday!!! I am going to bask in the glory of being an Anglophile all weekend.

Oh - binge-watched season 2 of Black Books. The second season is definitely better than the first.

My DVR is set for both - and really excited about both.

A proper Sherlock Holmes? On what network? That would be a show I could really enjoy.

Booze Traveler: the Scotland episode

 

[Stearmen]

The Curse Of Oak Island. Hate it, but I have to see if they find any thing. It's a real Catch 22!

 

[Fading Fast]

"The Man in the High Castle" episode 4 - it's very good and keeps getting better.

 

[Doctor Strange]

Masterpiece Classic on PBS TONIGHT!

Caveat: Apart from the Victorian setting, I have avoided spoilers on this episode, but note that it's part of the (excellent) CONTEMPORARY-set Sherlock series, so to what extent it's a close adaptation of the original stories vs. the modern events depicted in the series is unclear. Dream? Fantasy? Earlier ancestors? No relationship or explanation? We'll see.

It really does. And then it's over and you realize that now you'll have to patiently wait for season two.

Thank you very much for the information. I will definitely give it a chance.

Season two, episode one of Penny Dreadful. Wow! What a cast. Exceptional acting, writing, directing, and cinematography. Obviously, I really like it.

 

[Fading Fast]

that's why we are limiting ourselves to one episode a day - this way, we have it to look forward to everyday as we watch it once we are done working.

 

[Doctor Strange]

You know, I was pretty dubious about Penny Dreadful - I expected a mess on the order of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film - but I like it a lot. I agree that it's totally outstanding in every category you mentioned. And the second season is even better than the first: "The Cut Wife" episode was one of last year's very best hours of TV!

I wish I had that kind of patience. LOL. Unfortunately, I binge-watched the whole thing in 2 days. Couldn't help myself.

We're about to watch it, but my expectations are low. Having ruined Doctor Who, Moffat did his best to ruin Sherlock with series three... And succeeded. I'll give it a go in case he's forgotten himself and written a good story instead of just showing off how clever he thinks he is. I'm wary of the Victorian setting, though. The whole point of this version was how they made it work in the present day; reverting to Victoriana is an indulgence. It could work as a standalone, but I have a bad feeling Moffat will try and tie the two together with some clumsy device. We'll soon see!
