Any good New TV Series worth watching

[number2]

Berlin 1933 on BBC3 only three episodes - chilling.

[Loki]

Just finished watching Irving Walsh’s CRIME on ITV iPlayer. Dougray Scott is immense also Ken Stott stars throughly enjoyed it.

On the list to watch, just finished Boat Story which I enjoyed.

[Davidd]

I thought it was very good - I especially liked the early seasons but the later ones enjoyable too

The change in the major characters as the series went on was really well done, absolute monsters!

Slow Horses is wonderful and Gary Oldman is outstanding.

Eddie

I've seen that pop up, I'll have a look at that.

[barty9]

Enjoy 😉 I think Kin series 2 is better than the first. I can’t get enough of Clare Dunne who plays Amanda Kinsella.

[jimyu]

I’m currently hooked on The Lazarus Project…. If you like time travel/Groundhog Day give it a go!

[LeighG]

Agreed.

Lillyhamner was a good find by my pal Lee Harrison.

The star is Steven Van Zandt who plays a great gangster.

He was also in the Sopranos.

He's got the face for it!

He's also the guitarist in the East St Band and been pals with Bruce Springsteen for around 50 years.

Fisk on Netflix is laugh out loud funny.

Ditto. Really enjoying Series 2 and yes Clare is a doll

[Tokyo Tokei]

S3 of Slow Horses starts today on Apple TV

I was a bit sniffy about the initial SH episode, but the series is so much better than "Treason":



It is not possible to improve upon the Independent's summary: "Too dumb to introduce any nuance, too trite to sustain any tension. For a show about intelligence, Treason is sadly lacking any"

[newsboy]

Finished the first series of KIN last night. I thought that it was a excellent drama and cant wait to see the 2nd series

I wil try to find Love/Hate based on the recommendation here, thanks cbh

Watched the first 2 episodes of Vinnie Jones In The Country. Not overly impressed with it, he starts off with a massive contradiction 'it's not all about flash cars and what we have' and proceeds to drive
on to his massive farm in a brand new Bentley. Lovely countryside, but I think he's a bit of a Prick, so not for me thanks

The second series of KIN is out, just finished it

World War 2 . From The Frontlines is excellent so far .
I’m on Ep 3 and it’s quite gripping .
The footage has been colourised and enhanced .
There are interviews with veterans too which is very sobering . One German soldier was told to take a Russian prisoner into the woods to shoot him . When they were alone, he lowered his rifle and told the Russian that he was a soldier, not a murderer and let him go .

The colourisation is fantastic, however, the interviews are the most sobering.
I would encourage you to watch it all. It is well worth watching to the end.

I'm afraid I broke my rule of no more than 2 episodes and binge watched it.
Very thought provoking and sobering.

I second that. A very good series, well worth watching to the end.

It is good, and the colourisation is well done - not too vivid, no frame rate/pixel rescaling oddities.

I have finished 2 episodes so far, and already feel myself regarding at as a light version of (the vastly superior) The World At War for our attention-span challenged times.

[vagabond]

Watching Mayfair Witches on iPlayer, with Alexandra Daddario - about 4 episodes and quite good so far.

[andy tims]

Not all that new, but finished S4 & 5 of Top Boy this weekend.

Just brilliant.

[Linc]

A friend recommended Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix and I’m really enjoying it. Although it’s an animation, it’s not one for kids.

44 years old so not exactly new, but I am greatly enjoying the original BBC Series of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

Recent reminisces from Michael Jayston (who played Peter Guillam) here:

Vigil season 2

I am trying to watch it without being critical at all the errors/nonsense, but end up watching it as a comedy anyway.




https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11846996/



In other news watching all of the BBC Pucks series again.

It seems far,far better the secound time around.

Yes likewise, just started 1st episode last night and not too impressed compared to season 1

[Itsguy]

I suspect some here would be appalled by Obliterated on Netflix, given that it’s a comedy about a crack CIA team attempting to save Las Vegas from a nuclear device, after partying hard with every drug imaginable, with some nudity thrown in for good measure (and even Wags from Billions). For others it’s a daft and binge-able Christmas treat, you know who you are!

[Tokyo Tokei]

I suspect some here would be appalled by Obliterated on Netflix...

I couldn't get further than 15 minutes into it. The helicopter bit. It pushed the ludicrous factor beyond my festive tolerance.

Bikini-clad multilingual babe as top operative? Check! Hunky subordinate (naturally...) male colleague in beach shorts? Yup. Bad guys with stubble and foreign accents? Present and correct. Like a teenager's furtive fantasy. A foxy agent even comments appreciatively on one guy's "abs", mid-mission. We are not just ogling the talented bikini girl. No. This team has skills and sass.

(I suspect I have just sold it to some )

lol, you have piqued my interest in this show!

The new Percy Jackson tv series on Disney+ is quite good! Decent acting

Thanks just popped up on our system, think our nipper will enjoy it.

[TaketheCannoli]

Not new but has anyone watched Mr Robot? Just heard about it today.

[vagabond]

Just been watching Dickensian on iPlayer - missed it the first time round but my wife watched it and I'm now hooked.

It's a very clever story linking many of Dickens' characters together around the murder of Jacob Marley.

[mactrack]

I binge watched all 4 seasons of it during lockdown and was totally hooked although there wasn't much else to do at the time! It's one of my all time favourite shows but season 2 did lose its way a bit before getting back on track. Even the ending (throughout it all you keep asking yourself how are they going to end this?) was good.

[TaketheCannoli]

Great thanks, I’ll give it a go.

Some how missed this when it first came out.

For All Mankind.
Its about the space race, but the Russians landed on the moon first. Which prompts very competitive space missions.
4 seasons and each season is +10 years.

I have just started season 2, but so far very good.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7772588

Apologies if posted before, this thread has got huge!

[jimp]

Monarch, Legacy of Boring!
Up to episode 7, nothing has happened, lots of promise but nothing delivered.

S1 & 2 both good. S3 not so great. Haven't bothered any further.

[andy tims]

We just finished War Sailor (Netflix) Norwegian, 3 episodes, not exactly uplifting, but very good.

Secret Invasion (Netflix) Probably slightly better than usual Marvel series.

Winter King (ITV X) we've watch 5 of the 6 episodes son far. Pretty good if you like that sort of thing.

It's from Christmas a few years back.

Really enjoyed it.

Excellent cast and I watched it through twice!

I remember reading the Winter King many years ago, sounds interesting.

Vigil 2 was a slog, gave up after 2 eps, just not interesting.

[TerryT]

Working my way through Winter King.
Latest Fargo on Amazon is gripping stuff

[jwg663]

The Winter King is OK, but I preferred the Last Kingdom, based on the same author's (Bernard Cornwell) Saxon Stories series.

[TKH]

Monarch, Legacy of Boring!

completely with you

7 in and virtually zero Monsters in it , I have taken to Fast Forwarding through it on day of release just to see if any 'action' happens

shame to see an actor like Kurt Russell involved in such a bore fest

on a positive it made me start watching 'Slow Horses' which is utterly brilliant, great casting and dry humour.

[sevvy]

Season 3 of Slow Horses has just finished and I thought was the best one yet. Gary Oldman is absolutely brilliant in it

[TheFlyingBanana]

I’ve just finished watching Obliterated.

I feel like I shouldn’t have enjoyed it, but I did.

It is far too sweary- the f word is hugely overused. It has a lot of gratuitous nudity, which I have no problem with. It has considerable drug use, which does nothing for me.

The ensemble cast are surprisingly strong, with no weak links.

And the storyline is truly preposterous, and yet it’s all done with such gusto you can’t help but smile and laugh, and frequently cringe.


Ps For All Mankind is superb.

He's outstanding, his performance raises the whole show.

Gave up on The Winter King, I thought the acting & story were naff. Love Fargo 5. Best series I’ve watched over Christmas.

I’m not so sure. All the shooting in the last couple of episodes with the Slow Horses killing professional soldiers despite being vastly outnumbered was a bit of a stretch for me.

[bmpf]

A Small Light - this is the story of the people who helped Anne Frank and her fellow onderduikers hiding in Amsterdam in WW2.

It is based on real life events and it is acted in a very contemporary way which brought the horror of the whole thing to life in a way that I have never seen before. Great acting from all the cast and even though (because?) you know how it will all end, it’s a real binge-watch. Filmed in many of the authentic parts of Amsterdam and where it is set.

Highly recommended.

I have to agree with this I felt the bounds of believability were really stretched in the last episode................... However, the trailer for series 4 shown at the end of the last episode has got me very excited to see what happens next

I've just downloaded some of Mick Heron's Slow Horses audiobooks, interested to see how the they align with the TV show
