Let's have a TV shows thread.

I could watch just about anything by Ken Burns. The West and Prohibition are both excellent too

The Vietnam war on PBS was a very good Documentary split over 10 episodes and around 18 hours in length.

Not sure I could sit through an 18 hour episode of anything

That's 180 hours!

Finished watching When They See Us. Probably the most powerful true life drama I've ever seen. Horrific story and makes you angry watching it. 

[Legend_in_blue]

Going to give this a go once I've re-watched the 1982 original which has always stuck in my mind.  Classic film.  Reviews in on the new Netflix series are very strong.

End of season 3 is quality! Filming for season 4 is being done now, seen it’s meant to be our start of next year. 

I just started season 3 and was half way through the first episode and turned it off. 

 

I was sure someone on here said to pretend season 3 doesn't exist, but I can't find the comment.

 

The first two seasons were brilliant. Maybe it's just too jarring now where they are at.

Yeah they could probably do without it but I’d stick with it. There’s only 8 episodes to it.

What 0.18 hours an episode? That's not very long. Doesn't leave much time for plot development. Must be naff.

I have no idea how he hasn't lost his voice yet.

'The Boys' on Amazon Prime is the best thing I've seen in years. Production wide it's like 8 small films and the acting and story are fantastic. Simply brilliant. 

[foxfanazer]

New series of Top Boy starts in a couple of weeks. 6 years since the last series aired

[MC Prussian]

How lame is Star Trek: Discovery. Break with so many elements that made the franchise so likeable.

 

SFX-heavy, quick cuts, and female protagonists that are overcompensating and apparently superhuman. Bit of a cringe fest.

And who names a woman "Michael" in the first place?

 

Klingons look appalling, behave like a primitive African tribe from the ancient days. And that's just a decade before the original series, where they are much more civilized already.

 

Hopefully, it gets better with time. First few episodes were very sketchy.

It’s an excellent documentary, well worth watching.

Just finished season 2 of Mindhunter. Strongly recommend anyone watch it. Fantastic show if your into crime dramas. About how the FBI began profiling serial killers. 

[The Horse's Mouth]

How we getting on with the new peaky lads? Got to be honest, I'm not convinced so far

[SemperEadem]

Enjoyed ‘American Factory’ on netflix.

I'm quite enjoying it actually. Think it's stronger than the last series
