Any good New TV Series worth watching

[wildheart]

Watching Golden Hour on Netflix, a Dutch terrorist drama, very very good so far, watched 3 out of 6 episodes.

Finished the series now, I'm afraid it went down hill after an initial good start. Like a lot of series it could have been wrapped up in 4 episodes, stretching it to 6, killed it in my view.

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.

Sums it up perfectly, absolutely tongue in cheek high octane tosh, won’t win any awards but will make some smile and cringe in equal measures

Ooo, must be worth watching. In my queue now of things to watch

[vagabond]

Yes, Fool me once is good and we finished it over the weekend.

Also started watching Chloe on iPlayer - a bit weird at first but keeps you engaged, we've just started E3.

[Mike2500]

I started watching Mr Bates vs The Post Office (or whatever it’s called) tonight and it seems really good so far.

Came here to post the same, we are about 2/3 the way through and enjoying it highly.

[pacifichrono]

It doesn't start until Sunday, but Jodie Foster stars in a new six-episode HBO series called True Detective: Night Country. Foster is Chief of Police in a small Alaskan town where an entire arctic science expedition suddenly disappears. I'm all in!

[andyb28]

Discovered this by accident on Sky, its been running for quite a few seasons.

Madam Secretary with Tea Leoni.
Mainly watching as I have always had a soft spot for her since Bad Boys.

Thanks for the heads up!

Has anyone tried the new series of Fargo yet?

I have heard that it has been released recently (on Prime Video).

Been watching it - but unfortunately weekly releases. I've always enjoyed the Fargo series and this one is no different. Very quirky as always.

Been reading the hype since mentioned on here, watched 1st episode last light and brilliant. Don't know how I missed this one :)

[oldoakknives]

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

Working our way through Series 1 of The Winter King with one episode to go.
Was hoping it would be a swords and horses romp through ‘history’ and the Arthurian legend but it morphed into a bit of a PC lecture really.

[wildheart]

Just started Boat Story on BBC 1 very good so far.

[subseastu]

Started "Night sky" on amazon starring J K Simmons. Two shows in and it's shaping up well I think

I've started watching series 1. It's amazing so far! It's part of my Virgin package too.

[Wimm]

Love Death + robots 3rd season

This series has had a few mentions in this thread and quite rightly so. Some excellent animated Science fiction shorts. Snow in the Desert really stands out and I will pop into the library to see if it has any Neal Asher.

I really enjoyed this but unfortunately Amazon didn’t and it wasn’t given any more series. Real shame as it had potential.

Check out Silo if you fancy something kinda similar.

Caught the 1st episode of Boy Swallows Universe last night, definitely has potential.

I quite enjoyed it, but did feel the ending was a bit of a cop out.

Absolutely loving this! Even the Mrs is enjoying it

[PickleB]

Netflix...Boy Swallows Universe.

I'm two and a bit episodes in and thoroughly enjoying it. Like other good TV and films from Oz it has an unpredictable mix of comedy, tragedy, reflection etc that keeps one engaged...that and some good acting that just fits the action. It may not be everyone's cup of tea but it's currently rated at 8.2 on IMDb.


PS It's set in 1985.

Still the best season IMO. You're in for a treat.

[Onelasttime]

Very, very late to the party but got Disney+ over Christmas and have now binged season 1 of The Bear. Just incredible.

Brilliant writing, acting, tension, pathos, humour… the best TV for years by a mile. I've had to sign for another month to catch the rest.

Also caught the old Netflix series The Stranger. I absolutely hated every character and their suburban smugness, in a barely-believable perfect world of private schools, glass extensions, manicured lawns and Range Rovers, but of course the story hooked me in and I ended up finishing it in 3 nights. It definitely improved after the first episode, but not the best.

Managed the 3rd episode last night, it's great, despite the darkness I find the acting, dialogue, humour imbues it with the youthful optimism of the main protagonist, very enjoyable show, his pen friend is a real touch.

If you like tongue-in-cheek Space Opera SF you are in for a treat; I would recommend "Spatterjay" or "Gridlinked" as starting points in two book-series set in the same universe. The latter was an early book, with some rather wobbly writing (e.g. overuse of the word "grimace") but most of his books are great fun.

And to drag it back to TV series, if you enjoyed Richard Morgan's 'Kovacs' books, you may enjoy the 'Altered Carbon' series on Netflix, although I wish they had stuck closer to the plots of the books.

[Corporalsparrow]

Cracking start to True Detective: Night Country. Here's hoping it's a return to the magificent, nightmarish form of Season 1.

Thank you for the recommendations. I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of The Gabble in the library and am enjoying that. Having been fully immersed in the Culture it is interesting getting my head around a different society.

I did enjoy that (weren't there two or am I thinking of something else?). It is good to know there was a book behind it. I'll put that on the list too.

I watched it a couple nights ago. I stopped after 55 minutes...very disappointing. I found it boring, convoluted, and too heavy into native American (Eskimo) customs, lifestyle, and mystique. Although RT critics rate it "fresh," audiences rate it "rotten."

[Tom91]

In past few months I’ve enjoyed:

The bear
Dark
Succession
The wire
Ozark

Looking forward to trying the new true detective

[LuvWatch]

Just finished the last episode of Fargo series 5 which is on Prime - I really enjoyed it and reflects the Coen Bros style - Ole Munch character was excellently played by Sam Spurgell and having just read a final review of the series, puts a satisfying understanding of his character.

[Harry Smith]

'Loudermilk' is one of the funniest things we've seen for a long time.

First episode of the new season is off to a good start! It’s like it has to be good if it’s Jodie Forster investigating anything! The first ep setting reminds me of Fargo

Netflix - World War II: From the Front lines is phenomenal. Fantastic remastered footage from all sides, excellent narration. Totally worth a weekend binge watch.

My father recommended this to me, but not got around to watching it yet. Good to get another recommendation.
