Let's have a TV shows thread.

Watching the American version of Accused, seems to be some big actors in it and so far it's decent

Currently watching Kin and it’s class, probably late to the party here 

Irish mafia.

 

Just enough violence mixed with Irish humour.

Finished slow horses, loved it.

Has anyone watched Loudermilk on Netflix ? 

 

A friend has recommended it to me saying it will be right up my street 

Bits of it plod, bits of it are poor, bits of it are bang on excellent. Just started S2 because there’s enough in it to keep me going. Main character - what’s not to love?

Just finished it, very good

Started on True Detective, very compelling. HBO nail their big budget series.

Already watched the first 3 series and started on the latest? Or starting the lot? Enjoyed the first but never got round to watching the rest

American Nightmare, 3 part docu on Netflix.   Absolutely bizarre case and once again US Law Authorities don’t come out of it too well.

Yes the opening episode of the True Detective has a slightly Fortitude feel to it and I loved Fortitude!

Got the last episode to watch, probably try and get round to it tonight. Can't work out what's weirder the story or just the attitude of the police

Finally finished Picard S3.

I do not really have a lot of feeling for modern Trek but this was basically a 9 hour STTNG movie full of nostalgia, fun and a couple of stand out new characters.

Was surprised at just how many Easter eggs and old characters were there.

9/10

The end credits were really well done too.

You poor bastards got Series 2 to go through. From probably the greatest one-off storyline series to one of the worst. 

[CosbehFox]

More light hearted programming in a very congested market of celebrity goes abroad, Big Zuu’s 12 Dishes in 12 Hours is a winner. Quick format. Short episodes. And a genuinely funny bloke at the centre of it

I watched the first couple of series two and never bothered to finish it, due to it being a step down from the first. Could skip ahead to three or four I guess, with it being an anthology series

Just finished it 20 minutes ago funnily enough.

 

Might give the second a miss!

[Gubbins]

Never really got the dislike for True Detective s2. Obviously a step below s1 but it's still got that hbo standard quality. 

[bmt]

Restarting watching Dark and looking forward to it. Also looking forward to the new Alexander docuseries. 

 

Also, I was thinking yesterday at the lack of any good shows about pirates or naval war fiction (except Hornblower) - does anyone have any recommendations of that ilk?

Murder in Boston, 3 part Sky doc.  Very interesting study of racism within Boston and how the black community were treated as a result of this murder.

[RonnieTodger]

Fresh Cops. BBC Three docuseries following young police Leics police officers working. 
 

The dialogue is aimed at a younger audience but there’s something nice about hearing the Leicester accent on national TV.
