What was the last TV show you watched?

[Edward]

The coming season is a short one.

We're still two behind on dvd, but I am very encouraged by the last season being short. I like that they aren't trying to make a 'full' series without enough material for one.

I made it through about 15 minutes of Charles III. Has any one watched it in it's entirety? Should I keep watching, or just quit while I'm ahead?

It was okay. I liked the concept, though I found the ending extremely unconvincing, especially in the present era with William not much more popular than his father.

Fargo. season finale. I enjoyed this season. Great character play by Thewlis and Winstead. But...the worst season of the series so far, and a couple of really stupid, absurd plot device/scenes. Those scenes were well acted, but they were still stupid. Really stupid. The final few minutes were especially terrible. I'm not sure if the writers didn't know how to write themselves through the event or if they failed at their artsy-fartsy creative license.

Ha! Really surprised anyone made it through the entire season. I quit watching several episodes in it was so bad. Well acted, as always, but BAD. Think the "mug scene" was what did it for me & the female villain getting beaten within an inch of her life didn't help. Basically, I just threw my hands up after that & gave up on the series. A scene that's tantamount to rape & then abuse of a woman in anything I see in the media these days is a deal breaker. Which stinks because I loved Fargo's first season. Martin Freeman's performance showed just what an amazing actor he can be & the dark places he can go.

But, I have to agree with you, writers who don't know what they're doing can't be saved by good actors. Or famous ones. I'm so sick of telling people just because something has famous actors in it that doesn't mean it will be good.

TCM's Star of the Month Promo for Audrey Hepburn. Man did they nail this one. Her screen persona is light, fun, cute, but real and it all comes through in the montage and song.

BTW, is anyone familiar with the song itself? I tried quickly to identify it, but didn't have any luck.

Edit add: Super girlfriend found the song it's "Cruise" by Beast With No Name

The coming season is a short one.

Sadly, it is, but a short season is better than no season.

On duty in the boonies of the Ottawa valley (Garrison Petawawa). Have been binging Boardwalk Empire over the last week.

Up to season two, episode four.

Oh Jimmy, what tangled webs you are weaving...

They do not waste a minute in this show. It is as well done as any show I have ever seen. Enjoy!

Back home from TD, caught up on the last two Fear the Walking Dead episodes. Second of the two better than the first (18 and 11 June respectively), some good surprises and some exciting action coming up!

 

[GHT]

Last night I watched a rerun of the 1979 film: "The Great Train Robbery." Sean Connery and Donald Sutherland bring Victorian England to life. It's one of my most addictive, watchable films. I love it.

Preacher. season 2 opener. 100% fun. That first fifteen minutes, or abouts, was fantastic.

 

[MisterCairo]

Last night's Fear the Walking Dead. Saving up on Preacher, as my wife is now intrigued (she did not watch the first series with me) so we will binge season one first.

 

[Stearmen]

The Good Witch. Only one more left this season! Still can't believe I'm hooked.

 

[Touchofevil]

The season finale for Better Call Saul and the season two opener for Preacher. Nicely done episode for BCS; didn't see that ending coming.
Preacher kicked it off with a bang. As was stated by E.P. Shackleton, "fantastic" and "100% fun." It looks like we are in store for a crazy good time this season.

 

[Ernest P Shackleton]

Fargo was "soft cancelled" The creator is busy with Legion, a movie, and has no ideas for another season. It could be three years before the next season, and that isn't even a sure thing.

 

[Doctor Strange]

I finished off season 1 of The Crown last night. I remain underwhelmed. All the money they spent is visible - the production IS spectacular, the actors are fine - but it's so weakly written and badly paced that very few of its big moments really landed for me. If the same scripts were done with the usual Masterpiece Theater-level production standards with lesser actors, nobody would be calling this a masterpiece, just an average docudrama.

That said, I will probably continue watching future seasons, because I'm too much of a TV anglophile (*) to skip it...

(* Going back to NYC's WNET running The Forsyte Saga in 1968!)

 

[MisterCairo]

We watched the last two episodes of Fargo, season three. What a strange, fun ride! Too bad to hear about probable delay in further seasons, but we can at least catch up on the first two.

 

[AmateisGal]

Watched the first two episodes of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Definitely different, but I enjoyed them.

 

[Touchofevil]

A couple of episodes of Fargo. Three more episodes to go. We did not realize we had fallen that far behind. Despite its flaws, it is still much better than what is on CBS, NBC, ABC, and FOX.

Last program I watched was Sunday night at 7:30, The Jack Benny Program, "Jack is a Contestant". Benny contrives to become a contestant on "You Bet Your LIfe". Groucho Marx guest starring. The Benny shows are always funny, but this one was a particular scream.

I'm looking forward to next week's episode of "Private Secretary".

 

[Touchofevil]

Seinfeld!

 

[MisterCairo]

Watched the first two episodes of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Definitely different, but I enjoyed them.

Too funny! We watched the first three episodes with our girls last night after the last day of school! We loved it, and I laughed out loud so many times!
