Watched the series with Nolan in Maghaberry on the iplayer thought it was an interesting watch.

Watched S1 of Top Boy after giving up on it b4, stuck with itthis time & thoroughly enjoyed it. I couldn't watch it without subtitles. 2 seasons to go.

When you strip them all down, they're generic nonsense, same story churned out in different cultures.

Aye watched them all. If you took out all the prisoners with mental health and/or substance abuse issues, the place would be pretty empty.

I have 90 days free Apple+ TV.
I have watched (and enjoyed) Hijack. Is there anything else worth watching on the platform?

If you like Sci Fi, Foundation is excellent (s2 just over). Also sci fi, The Silo, started strong, ended ok.

Morning show for a TV show related drama is pretty good.

Black Bird. Super show.
The Morning Show is much better than I thought it would be.
Slow Horses.

Slow horses is excellent ok. Couldn't warm to bad sisters at all and that would normally be my sorta thing. Ted Lasso is the biggest bag of shite, anybody other than Jason Sudekis in the lead and that show sinks without a trace.

Couldn't get into Bad Sisters at all. Didn't bother finishing it. A rare miss by Horgan.

Was convinced by multiple people to give Ted Lasso a go. Can't for the life of me see the appeal for non Americans although the wife enjoyed the first series. Harmless enough. We gave up two episodes into the second one. Heard the third was absolute dogshit.

Have finally started Top Boy (from the Ch 4 originals) and am really enjoying it. Suffered through The Woman in the Wall from beginning to end. Terrible shite altogether which does a disservice to its terribly complex subject matter.

Bad Sisters was a brilliant watch. That Danish actor who played the husband should have got multiple awards for his performance.

Only Murders in the Building finished Season 3 this week in the US. Happily (if a bit implausibly) they're set up for Season 4 with another apparent murder.

tbrick18 · October 04, 2023, 03:33:07 PM

Only Murders is very watchable without being brilliant.
Just started watching Gen V on Prime set in the same world as The Boys.
Some very funny out there moments so far.

Watched one of the Walking Dead spin off series there, Dead City. Not great.

J70 · October 04, 2023, 03:43:26 PM

The Walking Dead was great originally, but personally I lost interest. There are only so many times they could do the Rick-against-the-formidable-enemy thing before it got stale, especially with plenty of other stuff to watch. Once Andrew Lincoln left the show, I quit it.

A few mentioned Ted Lasso. Think it was originally popular, at least in the states, because it was "nice ", for lack of a better word. Some relaxing escapism in that horrible summer of 2020.

The All Creatures Great and Small remake fills sort of the same role for me these days. Or the Bake Off. No great stakes. Just people being nice!
