TV Shows What are you currently watching?

Cheers Ian - have been trawling through and grabbed both of these as well. Only issue I'm finding is my Up Next list doesn't seem to hold everything I'm adding - as things get added, stuff seems to drop off. Is this right?

Cheers bud - I managed to get a 6 month free trial with Sky, activated in time for the Christmas viewing!

Foundation also added.

Thanks guys!

 

Forgot to mention Foundation. Good catch.

 

Squid Game

Yeah, I know, late to the party, but I wanted to wait until all the hype had died down. One episode in - I can see why people were excited.

Just started episode 2 - feel sorry for that guy still alive at the start...

 

Wait till you see the actual game show they're doing as a spinoff.

 

As long as they actually shoot them, I'm fine with that.

 

Ooh, we can have a celebrity edition - it'd be the only time I'd vote for Nigel Farage.

 

There’s a goodly long list of right wing politicians I would like to see on “Celebrity Firing Squad”

 

Turns out Ant & Dec have decided that Farage is the proverbial last straw, politically speaking.
They want no more politicians to be booked for "I Want to Revive My Career, Get Me Out of Here!"

I saw that yesterday, ITV won't want to piss-off their top presenters so, will probably not take politicians next year. I couldn't care less, never have and, never will watch the has-beens and publicity seekers.

 

Same. I voted myself off the show, shortly before the pilot episode aired.

 

The missus watches it, so I know it exists and I've seen the occasional c-lister wretch while trying to swallow a caterpillar, but I'm of the opinion that reality TV (or whatever they call it now) is the lowest form of entertainment; therefore, I avoid it like the plague.

 

Agreed. "Reality" TV really is the fakest of all TVs.

 

“Reality” has bugger all to do with any so-called reality tv.

 

BREAKING - Good Omens renewed for third & final season!!!

https://discworld.com/good-omens-season-three/

 

The Railwaymen on Netflix about the Bhopal junction chemical disaster, brilliant.

 

Although I'm struggling to keep my eyes open beyond about 2130h these days (or sometimes earlier) due to 0430 starts, Slow Horses has grabbed me after only two or three episodes (in about five-ish sittings) despite most of the first episode being predictable. Do like this one.

Silo is a bit slower and Becky has been a bit more gradual in her arrival to the party than I'd have liked, but going to stick it out as it's intriguing and I never got around to the comics.

Foundation also interesting but more measured in delivery and I've heard just renewed for another series so must be some legs there. Don't therefore know what it is about British spy dramas but they do something very right. Or Oldman does.

There was also a Tom Holland non-spider flick called Cherry that I had on the other night whilst drifting in and out of sleep but understandably it didn't grab me and shake me awake.

Punisher is playing on the treadmill at the moment; is decent but very slow-paced. The rest of the Defenders are lined up behind his second set of outings once I've looked up the correct order.

Got Indiana Jones tomorrow and Renfield on the go elsewhere too.

 

The original Foundation by Azimov was part of a trilogy so I'm damned glad the third's being made

 

The second season of (Jack) Reacher has begun.
(Not Tiny Tom Cruise - the title role went to an actor who looks like the character is described in the books, 6'6" & built like a brick outhouse)

 

Season one was great. Looking forward to this.

 

Mr Bates Versus The Post Office - 11/10

Bloody brilliant mini series, essential for any British person to watch/listen to IMHO. Now I want to go out and hang some Post Office/Fujitsu Executives.

It's up on ITV X for those interested. Was my first time using the service and it's fine. You can watch it for free and it's exactly like watching normal TV with advert breaks (wot I did) or pay for no ads.
