TV Show recommendations

[RedHand88]

Three episodes of Kaleidoscope watched so far (Green, yellow, violet). Its excellent. Great story and the random episode order novelty is a really good idea and works well.

[lurganblue]

Yeah I enjoyed the recruit too.

Treason was dogshit.

Treason was dogshit.

Was Treason crap? Not bother then

[BrotherMore6592]

Watched first episode of treason tonight and thought it was very good, but if it's gonna go downhill from here I'll not bother!

Tried to start Severance today, awful.

Banshees of Inisherin also, got 20 mins in and it was awful. Borefest and crap irish accents

1923 is properly immense viewing so far.

By the makers of Dark, another German show, husband and wife team

Watched a load of stuff over Christmas hols....

The Recruit - worth a watch, easy watching.
Jack Ryan latest series - good viewing, though I can't warm to the actor portraying Ryan.
Alice in Borderland S2 - Excellent.
Kaleidoscope - Hiest mini series. Very good.
Vikings of Valhalla - tried this, thought it was poor and gave up after about 4 episodes.
Ted Lasso - just brilliant. Some poor enough acting and cheese, but I love it.

In general the acting is 100% spot on, it is a comic spoof and the actors carry it off with aplomb.

Ted Lasso S1 was brilliant.
By S2, they'd done all the jokes, and the storyline they tried to build was mediocre IMO. Watchable, but not a patch on S1.

Guessing I missed the hype about The Morning Show on Apple TV, only watched S1 there recently, great show, very preachy but good, allstar cast. Just starting S2. (Got 6 months free through Sky rewards,so will watch everything going b4 June!)

1923 is amazing.  I wasn't expecting much after 1883 as I thought that was just alright. Finished Treason, was decent and Tulsa King was very good.

Same re. Morning Show. We started it ages ago and wasn't fussed but gave it another rattle at the weekend and on episode 6 now.

[BrotherMore6592]

Started "The Young Pope" with Jude Law tonignt - what the f#£k!!!?? Intriguing but not idea what's going on yet, is it a pisstake, comedy or what!

Started"Dark" also,  the English/American voiceovers on foreign films annoy me. Not great after one episode.

Severance is awful, can't get into it at all.

The Dropout is very good, biopic Based on disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth holmes

For the rest of January I've earmarked to start:
The leftovers
When they see us
Ted Lasso
American crime story

Any good sports docs or shows? Watched last dance and F1

Slow Horse's with Gary Oldman is definitely worth checking out on Apple , excellent show

Brilliant.

[J70]

Started Slow Horses last week. Three episodes in.

Superb stuff so far.

And not just Oldman. Goes without saying that he'd be a riveting watch, but the overall show is excellent. Hope it stays that way!

[Look-Up!]

My take on Xmas binge and what I've been watching previously.

1923 is excellent.
1883 I have to say I really enjoyed.
Andor was excellent, not my genre and really was expecting to switch off after a quick glance but was hooked immediately.
Yellowstone S5, looking forward to the ending now (and seeing everyone bite a bullet). Maybe gone on 2 seasons too long.
Saw Rings of Power previous month, Have to say I enjoyed it.

Others:
Treason. Watchable. Hinds steals the scenes in far too small a cameo but rest of the actors/characters a bit weak, same as storyline.
Tulsa King. OK, hardly epic but worse shows on TV.
Yellowjackets. meh. Middling just about.

Saw someone recommend The Dropout. Watched it when it came out. Very very good show.

Someone else asking about sports doc. The Kings is a must watch if you like boxing. 4 parter on the Duran/Leonard/Hagler/Hearns rivalry in the 80s.
Watched All or nothing last year too, fly on the wall on Spurs season Jose came in. Didn't think I'd enjoy it but kept watching and it is good.
