Let's have a TV shows thread.

Started watching Grimm a short while ago.

 

Thought it was overly cheesy at first, with loads of clichés and cheap-ish storylines, with actors chosen based on their good looks instead of performance capabilities.

But it does get better and a bit darker as the first season progresses, above average in my opinion. Entertaining enough for relaxing on a weekend.

 

Make sure you watch it with the lights switched off, there's a few good scares in there.

Silicon Valley season 5. Lost one of the main characters, but still enjoying it. Appears to be veering slightly away from the success > setback > success > setback development a bit too, which is good.

 

Binged all four seasons before this one and it’s a much better to binge than do one every week.

[RonnieTodger]

Yeah the Marcella ending finished a pretty awful second series. The first one was actually decent.

Spent the last 3 months watching Dexter, only to feel absolutely robbed by probably one of the most disappointing final episode and seasons I've seen! Feel sorry for those who watched it for 8 years to be served that finale!

One of the worst endings ever.

Started watching 'cunk on britain' find it very funny.

She's lazy, she stinks, she's nasty, she's rude. She reminds me of me in a lot of ways.

The best current comedy on telly for me. Absolutely absurd programme.

Dexter started going downhill after the Lumen storyline finished.

Always Sunny edges it for me, but SV is quality. 

[lgfualol]

Started "The Terror" on Amazon Prime last night. Pretty decent watch.

Billions is back.

Have to echo what others are saying in this thread, This Country is just brilliant comedy. 

 

Mandy absolute kills me off every time she's on screen.

I've just watched series 01 based on what was said on here.

 

It's mildly amusing in parts but in reality, it's a poor man's version of The Office, including the uncanny (some might say deliberate) resemblance between Kurtan and Gareth.

That's exactly how i feel after 2 episodes, was hoping it was going to prove otherwise the more i watched. Still worth a watch though

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Stick with it. I was put off at first as I thought it was aping the Office too much (format, and Kurtan is definitely based on Gareth) but it gets funnier and funnier

[VLC86]

First time I watched TC I thought it was shite, really enjoy it now.

 

That hospital episode was brilliant.

[Guest MattP]

When I watched the first series I thought it was OK.

 

I watch some episodes for the 4th or 5th time now and see or hear something different that makes me laugh.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

Kurtan: "What time do you finish?"

Rob Robinson: "Ten minutes. Why?"

Kurtan: "... I don't know why I asked."

 

 

I love that scene, because you can tell that Kurtan had it in mind that they'd go for a few pints and relive some school memories and become friends, but Kurtan realises while he's actually talking that Rob Robinson is a severely boring person and is so disappointed

Rewatching The Sopranos. Every bit as good as I remembered.

My favourite drama ever, loved it, I’ll watch it a second time soon.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Marcella, what a strange ending, characters appeared and were never seen again, no explanation why they were even in it, odd, and the ending was ridiculous 

[Brizzle Fox]

Bingeing on Gommorah.  OMG.

Good job all the characters are so loathsome as no point getting attached to then as most don't last too long!

[RonnieTodger]

I used to love Suits, but it's gone to shit
