I thought the first series was good (and I'm not a Trekkie or anything), and it seems like S2 is following suit. Some amazing cameos for TNG fans. The second series is starting well. I’m flying through the latest series of the Last Kingdom now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCS is weird, without BB before it I definitely would’ve never stuck with it, it’s such a slow burner initially that it would’ve never held my interest. It then eventually gets so good it rivals BB towards the last few seasons. There are probably tons of shows I’ve given up on that I would’ve ended up liking but didn’t.

kalifire Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Severance continues to deliver. April is a hell of a month for top tier television. As well as the finale of Severance, we have the concluding returns of both Better Call Saul and Ozark. Meanwhile, I'm quite nervous about The Reckoning starring Steve Coogan as Jimmy Saville. Can't help feeling that's more likely to fall flat than be what I hope it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeble Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Currently watching season 6 of Bosch, and Season 2 of Picard, which seams a big improvement on the awful season 1 which frankly took a huge dump on a beloved ST character, at least in season 2 he isn’t spending all his time being put in his place by people who aren’t fit to tie his shoe laces.

Ayrshire Chris Posted April 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 For those who like dark comedies, then Camping is worth watching. Six episodes only but really funny. Cast includes league of gentleman’s Steve Pemberton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogriff Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Didn't watch at the time, v much enjoying Deutschland 83,86,89 on all4. Nearly finished them now, really great fun spy drama with plenty of funnies chucked in 🧐😁 Next up is the stack of Treme DVDs I've nabbed off my dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st dan Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 What’s everyone’s thoughts on the current, and final, Peaky Blinders series? Wasn’t expecting much after it dropped off in the previous few seasons, and this one has certainly been ‘slower’ in terms of action etc, but I think it’s actually been better for that - I’ve really enjoyed the story line and am looking forward to see how they wrap it all up tonight … until the film(s) of course.

I gave up on it after about 3 episodes this season - far too slow for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Severance season one ended with today's episode. Highly recommended for anyone who hasn't seen it. Don't read up - go in blind, and you'll be rewarded. Found out yesterday there's a second season of Rusisan Doll due this month, which is odd because I remember the first finishing with no need to continuation. Maybe I'll go back and give the first another watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Watched all of The Witchfinder on iPlayer - a comedy with Tim Key. Not the best thing on tv at the moment but a nice little series for easy watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s brilliant, made a lot of my friends watch that, must have really gone under the radar at the time as nobody has heard of it but it’s so good.

kalifire Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) I struggled a bit with Camping. Julia Davis pretty much phones in her dark, gross-out comedies and has done since Nighty Night season one. Sally4Ever was another one - clunky, Davis-by-numbers shite. Her career peak will always be Human Remains. Same with Brydon. Edit: on second thoughts, Marion & Geoff season one is Brydon at the height of his powers.

Twelve one hour episodes is too long, but it’s very well made. Genuinely quite grim as well, which I didn’t think zombie stuff could get to me with any more, but there you go. Inventing Anna is next up. Finding it hard to finish this, 1 episode is always enough, it’s so tense x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Watched the Saville thing on Netflix yesterday, obviously knew what a mega Peado he was but this lays it bare what complete monster he was. Did get a bit bored at times mind, could’ve been one episode, but I guess they had so much old footage of him they wanted to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
