Let's have a TV shows thread.

Always Sunny is still churning out classics after 13 seasons. This season has been spectacular so far. Gotta be my favourite comedy ever.

 

Started watching Bojack after a few reviews on here. Really enjoying it! Just watched the “fish out of water” episode which was brilliant.

Second episode of the latest iteration of DrWho was pretty decent and the show has the old classic vibe though obviously money has been spent on it, wonder where the location of this episode was?

They spent about a month filming in SA - last night's episode was filmed somewhere along the Garden Route, whereas next week's (set in 1950s America) was filmed in Cape Town near Green Point - pretty much round the corner from the pub where I watched most of the 2015/16 season!

I thought this series of Man in the High Castle wasn't as good as the previous 2 but they've set us up nicely for the next series.

Almost finished the 4 seasons of Treme. David Simon makes some pretty amazing TV. This and The Wire are my favourite shows ever. The bloke is a genius imo. Generation Kill is next to watch.

Very good, probably makes my top 10. Strangely unheralded here

Killing Eve is genuinely brilliant, I think it's the best opening series I've seen.

Have you not watched many series?

Almost given up telling people to watch Generation Kill, I'm amazed how few have. Its basically Band of Brothers made by the makers of the Wire set in a modern war. How hasn't EVERYONE seen that!? 

 

I think it's great, easily my favourite mini series and one of my top bits of telly ever. 

 

I LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDY!

Been watching suits on Netflix quite enjoyable to watch as not to serious. Watched 1 episode of maniac and couldn’t get into it so if any one has seen that and it’s any good let me know as may try it again ?

 If I'm honest it passed me by. I'd not even heard of it until recently when I was looking for more David Simon stuff.

Yeah man they're everywhere. One guy Rudy Reyes, actually plays himself which is a bit like Simon casting Snoop to be Murder Snoop haha. Its nice to know it has that authenticity though. 

 

It's honestly worth buying the full dvd box set, the special features have interviews with the real marines. It was good to get their perspective. Wright obviously sees everything through the eyes of a civilian, albeit a civilian who has been on board. 

[Stadt]

The only thing that I disliked about GK is that I had to learn a some military jargon, to it’s credit it’s authentic but I felt slow not understanding

I got given the dvd box set for my birthday 8/9 years ago so I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen it on a streaming service. 

 

It's HBO so Sky box sets is possible yeah.

I am a IASIP stan but I really didnt rate the first 3 episodes. The 1st and 3rd were particularly weak for me.

 

The latest ones though are great. The gang gets new wheels was amazing.

[woznotwos]

'Generation War' on  netflix , if you can put up with subtitles its a cracking WW2 drama in 3 parts.

Mm, I didn’t like the first one, but I enjoyed the Boggs one even though it was a reboot. The one from last night was a bit meh for me. Took too long to really get going which was unfortunate cos the idea was good. 

[foxfanazer]

New series of Making a murderer! Blasted the first series in 2 days. Amazing documentary 

[rico]

Been watching Somewhere Between on Netflix, not bad 6/10

The boggs one I really wanted to love but I didn't. Prefer those little characters in small doses, Mac's mum is better when she only grunts or shouts.
