What telly progs are you bingeing on?

[Ayrshire Chris]

Sad to hear of the death of Sidney Poitier, in the heat of the night,  to sir with love etc, probably reruns of them will be aired .

I’m bang up to date now. Two episodes left. Fuck me, it’s brutal at times. I’ve had to look away a couple of times. But it’s a really well put together show. I’m definitely more engrossed than I was at the beginning. 

It goes pretty fucking hard, aye.  Genuine yikes.

Bingeing on House at the moment, terrible show but Hugh Laurie is so watchable as House.

every episode is exactly the same, 4 doctors spend all their time trying to diagnose 1 patient by throwing every drug known to man at them until after nearly killing said patient one drug finally works. No wonder healthcare is so expensive in the States🙄🙄🙄

house is a brilliantly written character played by a fantastic actor at the top of his game, but like I say terrible show.

The Green Planet - another triumph from Attenborough! It will be a sad day indeed when he's no longer able to make these extraordinary documentaries.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Informative and entertaining. Obviously an expert team behind this, the bit at the end showing how it was made was fascinating. 
and as a retired scientist  another great programme to pass an hour with a biology class! 😉.  The living planet was a godsend! The joke was always Attenboroughs name should be on the science staff list.

Who knew plants could be that entertaining? 😄

Of course I know there's a huge team of geniuses behind these shows, but it's Attenborough's name that sells it. I worry that shows like these will no longer get commissioned when he's no longer around!

Yes, his name is known and respected worldwide so obviously this means any series connected to him will be sold to many countries.

Apologies if already mentioned but latest shows for me are:

Mayor of Kingstown (Brilliant)

Snowfall (Decent) 

Servant (Great)

Kin (Good)

Ragdoll (Not awful)

Just finished the latest Cobra Kai. 

Brilliantly bonkers as ever. 

Fair play to the cast for (mostly) playing it completely straight. 

[SecretFish]

New series of Dexter. Brilliant tv

[John the Moth]

Finished Dexter: New Blood. Excellent.

4 eps into Yellowjackets. Great stuff.

5 eps into Cobra Kai. Great fun, but a bit too silly at times.

2 eps into Boba Fett. Love it.

[gigpusher]

Finished Maid and Cobra Kai recently. Maid was very different to the book which was actually nice as it was a recent read so if it had been too faithful the comparisons would have been more keen. 

Cobra Kai misses out on one vital element of The Karate Kid which with each series irks me more and that is that they are no longer the underdog. Think even they have started to realise it and it's become laughable that with each baddie that comes along the previous baddie has to grow some kind of conscience.

Ha. I watched every episode of House during the first lockdown.

"Is it Lupus"?

A hundred odd hours or something. Really wish I'd picked up the guitar or getting fit instead.

[Chef]

Watching The Tourist. Five episodes in, one to go. 

Quite enjoyable and some funny dark humour. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yellowjackets continues to whip ass. Best show on TV at the moment.

[kalifire]

Finished Stay Close last night. Absolute drivel. One of those absurd, surface level mysteries with endless twists thrown in to compensate for zero character development or depth.

[vintagelaureate]

I really enjoyed the majority of Dexter:New Blood... it was an improvement on the 'other finale' but the last episode felt a little rushed. 

I have a whole of host of TV shows that I file in ones-I-intend-to-watch-but-may-never-get-round-to-because-the-kids-don't-let-me!

[MrZigster]

Really enjoyed the first three episodes of Peacemaker.

A proper binge watch, as in, "have to watch the next one despite it being well past bedtime and I've got work in the morning", binge watch.

Don't start watching good stuff late in the evening.

[Respectfatfrog]

Afterlife finished series 3 last night have to say his done an amazing job to end it on. Hard to be emotional 

[DirtyLurker]

Very late to The Mandalorian party but watched the lot in 2 days - I'd avoided it because the Star Wars prequel/sequels were so disappointing, as soon as I realised Jon Faverau was the creator I gave it a go, hooked immediately!  The last scenes of season 2!!!!  No spoilers from me but yes, it had to be!

Watched all of season 3 After Life yesterday eve - going through some personal shit right now so it absolutely floored me, sobbing for hours.

I don’t want to give away any spoilers but felt disappointed that one character who popped up didn’t make it to Iron Lake.

Sure is, and timely it’ll hand the baton to Ozark when it finishes season one this week. Ozark is top tier television, up there with any ‘greatest show of all time’ and I can’t wait to sacrifice next weekend for it. 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

The four day window between Yellowjackets season finale airing in the states and in the UK is going to make next week on social media a total minefield.

[MrZigster]

Don't Look Up is frightening. An Idiocracy for our times.

Does James Nessbit just play the same character in everything he is in.
