The TV Series Discussion Thread

Started Startup on netflix, with Martin Freeman, hes done ok for himself

Had not heard of it until now. Seems to be a decent one

Yeah decent watch over about three seasons.

One or two other recognisable actors/actresses also appear.

Just finished season 4 of Billions and onto season 5.

Absolutely love it, think Paul Giamatti is absolutely great in it.

Got done with The Tourist on BBC… good first episode, but fell asleep for the other 5 episodes, so took 2-3 attempts to watch each… sh*t ending, trash. End.

Anyone watch Invasion on Apple TV? Still not sure what I think of it after finishing it a week ago.

Started on Foundation also on Apple TV, liking it so far.

I've never give this a go but think I'm going to now

It’s good mate, it’s taken me a long time to watch it but it keeps the action going and doesn’t spend too much time like some series in building out all the massive back story on every character.

Been very disappointed with The Book of Boba Fett so far, massive fan of The Mandalorian but this just doesn’t hit the same, struggled to keep away on all episodes so far.

watched the first two episodes of Ash V Evil dead sort of 30 years on thinks its either Netflix but absolutely cracking nonsense.

Watched the first one and haven't got round to the next one yet.

Says it all maybe?

Wasn't really needed after the quality of The Madalorian maybe.

Watched Nomadland. Fantastic film and Frances McDormand phenomenal!

The BBC are going through the likes of Dads Army to edit any offence language ..... This world is more violent than its ever been but if Clive done mentions Hitler  not liking it up them it offends the sweet little offended ones.

Was looking through old pictures today and it just reminded me of how much day to day life was better, I mean we had problems still but you didn’t feel like you were walking on eggshells 24 hours a day, you’re scared to offend someone just by sleeping now.

Depressing really, and glad I wasn’t born in these times and I got to experience the 90’s for my childhood just before technology and social media took over peoples lives and made everyone so damn sensitive.

Genuinely feel sorry for the children now, as soon as they can walk and speak properly it’s like they are 3 going on 30 now.

we had one bin for 7 people in our house we didnt have wardrobes full of clothes or two or three freezers .One TV not 5 or 6 and no mobile phones or Computers apart from the Calculator . we walked to school nobody arrived in a car but we are lectured about the environment and you spoke to people face to face and if you were an arse you would probably end up on it.
Technology is wonderful but boy it has come at a price to Society and Families

First few series of Still Game are still quality comfort tv when you feel a bit down. Just what the doctor ordered!

Me and my wife literally watch this on a loop when we can't find nothing else or just want to wind down

Had this same discussion the other day , while technology is great in its place ,  feel it’s gone to far with kids , like you we walked to school but can honestly say I wouldn’t swap my younger days for these times we grew up as kids and bloody well enjoyed it ,

Yeah, it's perfect for that - such well crafted characters and environments you can easily get on board with and straight down the line good Glaswegian humour!

The Responder on Iplayer - Freeman is superb

All episodes on there, will give that a watch later in the week.

Heard his scouse accent is spot on.

I've enjoyed it. Appreciate that they are crafting a story for Boba Fett as it never sat well with me how they ended him in Jedi. Honestly it feels exactly like the Mandalorian to me without some of the campy humor.

Yeah it’s spot on
 
Halfway through the third episode - it’s excellent

Watching the second episode right now, knew this would be good.

Watched all the Responder episodes tonight thought it was excellent, paints a terrible picture of Liverpool, but the is loads of dark humour which was very funny while being very sad at the same time a must watch
