Great TV series - What are you watching now?

UncleWede · 04-21-2020, 05:17 PM

Remastered versions of Star Trek with James T. Kirk.

Except, when he gives his "Space, the FINAL Frontier" somehow they remastered that right out of the show. I keep trying to adjust my audio settings on my TV, even moved the Firestick to another TV, and STILL can't hear him

We have three episodes of Homeland to catch up on now. And then, next Sunday, I believe killing Eve comes back.

We finally binged it from Friday night through Sunday night and agree, it ended like I expected (but not in an obviously predictable way that ruins things, if that makes sense). It was a great season.

Not out yet, but definitely on my radar. Looks like it will be a remake/adaptation of the original series from the 50's.

The only drawback is the commercials. SOOOOOOOO many comercials. I wish this series was on Netflix or Amazon.

You should try it, I didn't think I'd like it but I love the Jodie Comer character so much that I've named my all white x5 after her. When I say "Villanelle take me home" and she replies "perfect , it'll be nice to be home" I wonder if my car is going to kill me in my garage, but I go with her anyway.

Killing Eve is way better than I thought it would be

I finished Bosch season 6 last night, I do enjoy this series....I said to my wife as the closing titles were rolling "damn, now we have to wait a year for season 7".

Looking to start Penny Dreadful next I think.

Bosch is a favorite in our household. We have 2 episodes left on Season 6.

Yeah...I kept seeing ads for it when I was watching Mr. Inbetween and figured I would like it. It's really good.

"Better Call Saul" was so unbelievable this season that I think it's actually approaching BB levels. The last season will be amazing to see what happens to Kim, Lalo, and Nacho. IMO, best show on TV.

it's amazing.

every time lalo is on the screen i tense up. tony dalton has done an amazing job with that character. that cliff-hanger to end the season...he's a man possessed!

and as great as bob odenkirk has been, i think rhea seehorn is this season's MVP.

So, I'm paying attention to the stars, and they seem to have tried, in remastering, to add some color by picking random few and making them RED. I'm not positive, but doesn't light coming towards you shift BLUE?

RickFLM4 · 04-25-2020, 02:45 PM

Binged the 6 episodes of Waco. I thought it was well done and worth the watch.

HFW003 · 04-25-2020, 06:01 PM

Binged the second series of Ricky Gervais’ Netflix show After Life.

I’m no means a Gervais fan but this show is superbly done. Dark humour and done very well, first series really touched me and this one did the same.

Only six eps so not a huge time impost. Highly recommend!

Just a shame there are only six 30 mins eps per series.

It touched me like not many things do.

Bordertown on Netflix: Detective series in Lappeenranta, Finland, on the border with Russia (St Petersburg). Nordic Noir genre, with some majorly badass Russian FSB agents and gangsters, alike. A spectacular script, outstanding acting and peppered with some dry humor. The best television series I have seen, in at least a year.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. Differing from a lot of other Nordic Noir, each individual crime runs for two / three episodes.
However, the crimes have interlinking aspects, or threads, that overlap into later episodes. It is beautifully architected. There are two seasons currently available on Netflix and a third coming on 11th May 2020.

Bordertown trailer

Watch it in Finnish, with subtitles.

Right up there with The Killing and The Bridge. Enjoy.

Murf993 · 04-26-2020, 09:27 AM

Finished After Life season 2 last night. Excellent!
