What telly progs are you bingeing on?

[kalifire]

Halfway through Inventing Anna (very good) and I’ve become distracted by Trigger Points (absurd, but moves at a pace so I’m enjoying it). 

Julia Garner is an amazing actress.

I've just finished the HBO adaptation of Station Eleven. Does take some detours from the book, but it's a joy to watch. Really well done.

I loved it too. Really good. I remember really liking the book too. Been a while since I read it so I thought things were different but couldn't remember what they all were.

Riviera. Now.. 

1st 10 down 20 to go its not to bad.. The very rich...... Can even get on my nerves in a program lol.. But its always nice weather..

Vikings Valhalla. Been looking forward to this for a while.
 

I’m trying to get my head around the timeline at the moment. Between knowing the real history, watching The Last Kingdom and playing Assassins Creed Valhalla I’m not quite sure when exactly it is set yet and who the main players are.

Started the new Apple show Severance tonight. Only two episodes available so far. Really bizarre, in a good way. 

Thanks for the heads up. Would've passed me by otherwise. 

Very enjoyable so far (2 episodes in)

Peacemaker has been fun.

It also has one of the coolest title sequences ever. I never skip it. i sometimes watch it twice.

I enjoyed that series so much, so many tasteless jokes and then poignant and touching aspects too. 

For the credits they set out to make something people wouldn't skip.

Just finished the new season of Euphoria. Just as good as the first! Recommend to anyone that’s not checked it out.

Zendaya is phenomenal in it.

[Boomtowner]

Just finished Yellowjackets, enjoyed the premise and most of the show but I was a little disappointed by the ending, hopefully it won't be another Lost!

[parsonjack]

So....we're 2 eps from 6 into 'Pam & Tommy' and a bit undecided whether to push on.  Lily James is terrific but other than that it's all a bit trashy and unremarkable. 

Any depth to the remaining eps or should we bin it off now? 

[kalifire]

About to delve into Euphoria on the back of two friends who've recommended it to me.

Yes, it does get a bit deeper, quite different to the almost slapstick comedy of the beginning. Although I v much enjoyed those bits too! Looking forward to the finale tonight.

Loved Yellowjackets, hoped for some kind of resolution but it’s not surprising they’ve set it up for more, a la Lost.

Started Inventing Anna which seems good.

Absolutely.

Weird mix of can't wait to see how they end it, worried for Kim (what is going to happen to her?), and sad it's ending. 

2 years almost to the day since season 5 ended.

[kalifire]

Beyond excited for Better Call Saul. The week after it returns, we also get the second half of the last season of Ozark. What a time to be alive. 

Until those behemoths return, I’m loving the shit out of Severance, an Apple show. Best thing on TV right now. Just dispatched the fifth episode. It’s clever, funny, almost Lynchian in its mystery, and very well acted.

My tip is to go into it blind, except for the basic premise: when the main characters go to work, they take an elevator that triggers a chip they’ve voluntarily agreed to have placed in their head. The chip stops them remembering anything about their life outside work. When they take the elevator back up, the chip is triggered again so they can’t remember anything about their work life.

Five episodes of nine have been broadcast so far.

It's bitter sweet - love Ozark and BCS, so great that they're back, but then sad that this is their last hurrah. 

Severence sounds great, but not on Apple TV - too many other subscriptions in play!

[Hutchmaster]

Enjoying the last season of Peaky Blinders so far but I'm a bit nervous that there's only 3 episodes left with so much still to wrap up. I know there's a film or two to come, but I hope that's not at the expense of wrapping up the series in a satisfactory way.

[OCarter]

Severance, get on it poeple - Cough Cough "Bflix.top" for ya'll without Apple.

This new Adam McKay Project started last week about the foundings of the LA Lakers success and Magic Johnson. Only an episode in but a glossy watch.

And Tokyo Vice starts in a few weeks and for some thats been to Tokyo, it looks a treat.

Picard S2 has just started. I thought the first series was good (and I'm not a Trekkie or anything), and it seems like S2 is following suit.

Has his voice improved? I found it so croaky last time it was quite distracting.

Trying on apple tv is a lovely show. It's got the daughter out of Cuckoo in, speaking in her Stourbridge accent, and I just want her to be happy.

After a very lengthy break I've picked back up on The Walking Dead again. Finished of series 9 and am about 7 episodes into series 10.

It may be my covid addled brain but it has definitely improved from the shambles it decended into. I don't think it will ever attain the heights of the first few series again, there are only so many things you can do with a zombie, but it ain't bad.

If I remember rightly I still struggled with those 9 & 10 but that might have been residual annoyance at the really bad ones previously. 

As said further up though, 11 is a definite improvement. In a rubbish sort of way.

Oh, and anyone who wants to watch Severance you can get a 3 month apple TV trial by joining Currys Perks. It should really be Perk cos I've not seen anything other than Apple, but still, 3 months free.
