Let's have a TV shows thread.

Celebrity SAS on C4. Joey Essex the biggest surprise so far, Tony Bellew great value also especially in the boxing task. Katie Price, she’s got a set of bollocks on her for coming on the show but she’s just a ****ing idiot. 

[Rain King]

Anyone been watching the latest Simon Reeve documentary about The Americas? Presume it's the latest.

 

Anyway, they went deep into the capital of El Salvador - San Salvador to round up gang members of MS 13.

 

They showed them arresting one and taking him away. Amazed to see his choice of clothing.

 Watched DEVS and got really hooked as it went on ...  loved the idea ...  weak ending and got very slightly bored but still glad I watched it.  

[Countryfox]

Started now on season 1 episode 1 of Squeaky Blunders ...   Mrs CF whose family comes from that area insists the real Blunders were a group of young children and says it’s crap and their accents are sh1te  ...    I, however, will persist. 

[Countryfox]

Also noticed a new Ozark ...   any good ?

[The Blur]

Debating on whether to watch Vikings or Last Kingdom to fill GOT void-  which series is better?  I cannot be bothered to watch both.    

[RonnieTodger]

Yeah Killing Eve is rubbish. Sat through 2 series with no idea why it’s so popular.

 

Also, I’m glad Modern Family is finishing. It used to be good but it’s turned into predictable shite. Hasn’t been funny for years.

Loved vikings especially the first 2 seasons. Not seen lost kingdom though so can’t compare.

Both good but Vikings better ...   especially the early series ..  riveting stuff ...   the later ones are rubbish imo ...   when Ragnar stops appearing ..  turn off !!

[foxfanazer]

Rewatching Whitechapel with the girlfriend. Bit cheesy and predictable but quite enjoying it. Might rewatch Ripper Street when we're done with it

Thanks,  should I even bother watching if the latter seasons went downhill?

The later seasons are not as good BUT i still did enjoy them. Very good series in my opinion. Lots of blood, fighting, death .. right up your street if you like that sort of thing. 

 

Edit to add.. the very last episode did tie the whole thing up very well.

As long if the latter seasons are entirely watchable then that is fine.  I would still recommend GOT who may be similar to Vikings to others even that the final season was not the greatest.  

 

Thanks!

Not seen Vikings but the Last Kingdom gets better with each series plus series 4 begins next week. Netflix has picked it up from the BBC and made it a very polished production. i'd really recommend it!

[ithuriel]

West World 3 is a major turn away from previous seasons though there is no good/bad guys, except maybe Bernard.

All the separate threads are starting to come together, Ed Harris is brilliant in this though, his therapy sessions though brief are amusing.

[Bellend Sebastian]

Good to see the BBC repeating Taboo via iPlayer, starring most blokes' not-so-secret gay crush, Tom Hardy.

 

Excitingly violent, atmospheric and downright strange for a primetime slot and also features GOT's Oona Chaplin who as well as being Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter I would file under 'quite nice', with added bonus incest

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I quite like Joe Lycett, and the premise of his consumer rights show is fair enough but it's excruciating to watch. Just feels like a constant stream of jokes that fail to properly land.

He’s definitely better when there’s other people to play off. The same with Sean Locke, on panel shows they’re brilliant but on their own devices they’re just not that funny because everything is a reach 

[Paninistickers]

Bit random, but  ive just popped on bbc4 and it's the story of (of all places) kibworth over a 1000 year period. 

 

Intro looks ok.

[The Bear]

Finished S2 of Money Heist last night, which seemed like a perfect ending to the show. I Googled it and it was indeed supposed to end there, but for its unexpected popularity. No wonder it only has Dolby Vision from S3 onwards as that's when Netflix extended it and threw lots of money at it. 

 

Please tell me the last two seasons are decent and not just stretching it out for the sake of it? 

 

I was seriously considering just leaving it there and not bothering with 3 and 4. But then I saw the episode preview picture for Ep1 of S3 and it has Tokyo in a bikini.... 

 

 

 

 

Since we're stuck at home, I guess I'll continue!
