Anybody seen Chicago PD?

 

Watched the first couple of episodes and undecided. Like the fast pace of it but can't get into the characters yet.

 

Looks like there's loads of series so could be bingeable..

Yes, and both Chicago Fire and Chicago Med. Watched them all from the start and I really like them. Pre pandemic they were on back to back on Friday night, a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine! 

 

Occasionally they do a crossover so if you're not watching all 3 you will miss stuff, but on the whole it's easy watching, enjoyable viewing

Gets better as it goes along, Chicago Fire is really good as well, you’ll have to watch some episodes of that as some of them cross over

Just started on Banged Up Abroad, apparently Harry Maguire is set to feature on next weeks episode.

Anyone explain series 3 of Dark ?

1st episode of Lovecraft Country was good, would reccomend

[VLC86]

I’ve been recommended The Society on Netflix, 2 episodes in and it seems a bit shit.

 

Has anyone watched it? Worth carrying on with? It’s got decent reviews so it must get better.

I loved it but the Mrs hated it! (Story of my life).

 

I actually watched it all a second time through during lockdown, just waiting for the next series.

Ah fair enough, well that’s promising then because I had concerns I was watching the US Hollyoaks so that’s put my mind at rest a little that woman hate it

Same as @Rain King , I loved it and have watched it twice through.

 

Recommended it to a couple people, who haven't shared my love for it

Bit late to the party but watched the first season of True Detective over the weekend, thought it was brilliant. Definitely going to watch seasons 2 & 3.

Loved Series 1 but didn't like 2 or 3 at all. I actually gave up on 2 but apparently the ending is worth the effort.

Worth it for Daddario alone.

Series 2 was a massive let down after series 1. I'm sure I watched series 3 but I cant remember it at all.

Does Community get better after S1? About 20 episodes in but it's starting to drag.

If you don’t like series 1 you won’t like series 2 or 3.

 

I’m surprised you don’t like series 1!

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Community is fantastic but since going back to it on Netflix I've found it doesn't quite have the replay value of Parks and Rec or Brooklyn Nine-Nine, for me anyway.

 

Still great, though.

[RonnieTodger]

I just find Community too daft at times. It’s ok, but the novelty has worn off and it’s not as funny as I thought it would be.

 

On another note, I’ve just finished The Morning show and thought it was brilliant. Very original and Jennifer Aniston  is Still smoking in her 50s.

If you’ve still only watched 20 then you might just want to give it until the end of the first season. The paintball episode at the end of season one is great TV.

So ITV have been doing Britain’s favourite detective all week.The result to be announced on Sunday I think?All worthy winners.Hard to decide.If it’s a public vote then maybe Vera because it’s more recent.Frost because of the David Jason effect?Though surely Morse is the daddy?Really got into Midsomer during the lockdown.Current favourite is Poirot.World Champion has to be Jessica Fletcher.Solved over 200 murder cases.She wasn’t even in the Police ffs 😂

[The Bear]

Columbo

Sherlock Holmes

Poirot

 

My top three. 

[Dunge]

I do enjoy a bit of Barnaby, trying to work out why this week’s bunch of eccentric English lunatics are trying to bump each other off in ever-more inventive ways.

 

Guilty pleasure. :-)

[Paninistickers]

Anyone got this penis shopping thing on C5? 

 

Extraordinary.

Probably but do you have specific questions, I'm not up for writing a ten thousand word thesis just for foxestalk. 

[Gazza3]

I watched all 3 series but by the time I saw 5he third I couldn't, remember who had done what and when and where , third series didn't, help as all I kept hearing was the beginning is the end and the end is the beginning . I think it went a bit off track from the original and lost its way . Having i think 3 parallel worlds was a bit too much .

Did the apocalypse happen or not?  

I m not  losing any sleep over it though enjoyed the first 2 series but not the third
