TV Shows What are you currently watching?

100% this. The spin-off was bad.

 

"The Rookie: Feds" was cancelled in 2023 after its first season

My eldest reckons she's on her second (or possibly even third) run-through of all seven (?) seasons of this. I get the impression she fancies one of the leads.

 

The Rookie?
Tell me it's not Smitty!

 

I just asked and she very quickly replied "Tim Bradford", whoever that might be.

 

Is it just me or is there absolutely bugger all on Netflix at the moment?

 

Just you! My list is loooooooooong. I've still got the other stuff running as well, since maddeningly, each seems to have one or two things on there that I still want to watch, which means I have analysis paralysis over Apple TV+, Sky (with Paramount as well), Netflix, Prime and Disney. I probably should cull the herd at some point but I've got bigger fish to fry at the moment.

Some suggestions for ya - Spec Ops: Lioness (this is was pretty decent), Black Rabbit (haven't seen this yet though), Untamed, The Recruit, Plebs, Brassic ("Your tractor's a lady tractor!" - childishly brilliant), Sense 8, Mantis, Wu Assassins, Snatch & The Gentlemen both have series on there, Northmen is hilarious, Money Heist, Barbarians looks good and The Witcher is on there too.

Bit of a mix and you've probably seen them all anyway, but thought I'd give you some ideas from my list!

 

Thanks @ModSquid , the relatively recent layout change annoys me because it seems to suggest dross or rewatching things again.

There's a few in there I've not checked out so thanks. Not sure I'm heading back to the Witcher - the path it took and the dirty they did on old Henry... Hm.

I do have the recent season of Alice to watch and I need to catch up on Stranger Things but I may leave that till the final season is out.

Lioness may be my next then.

 

This is your "competition"

 

I have been binging "The Rookie" its brain off entertainment and i am enjoying it

 

Nah, he's too pretty. Nothing edgy about that guy at all.

 

Black Rabbit in netflix with Jude Law and Jason Bateman.
Pretty decent

 

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle

 

Finished season 4(?) of Invasion (Apple) and as seems to be the case with everything I watch these days, the ending is utter codshite. Don't waste your time watching the first three. I'll let you know if the next one is any good - might as well watch it now I'm four series in.

Slow Horses (Apple) is good though. Quality humorous bit when Lamb is debriefing River and Coe in the underpass in the latest episode .

Peacemaker (Sky) is also not toooo bad.

 

Really enjoying Slow Horses but yet to see this week's episode.

I was going to get the first Mick Herron book 'Down Cemetery Road' and then saw last week that it's been made into a TV series that is starting this coming week on Apple TV.

We're also enjoying 'The Last Frontier' on Apple and have an episode to catch up too

 

Almost finished a rewatch of Upstart Crow (BBC), and have started Riot Women (BBC) which I'm enjoying so far, also giving Trigger Point (ITV) a go.

 

Gave Task https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28013708/ a go, made it an episode and a half before pulling the plug, it's just so slow

The Terminal List: Dark Wolf https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26576161/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_in_0_q_the%20terminal%20l might have legs, Star Lord does wet work for the CIA

Goliath https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4687880/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1 only one episode deep so far but just my cup of tea

 

The Witcher: Liam Gets Hamstrung (Netflix)
It's very sad, but watching this, you feel for the guy. He had big shoes to fill, according to almost every fan and yet the writers knowingly thrust this utter pile of cack onto him and expected him to turn it into gold. It's so dull, they even stooped to a "campfire flashback" episode. A whole episode . I didn't really care too much for the characters by this point anyway, let alone their backstories.

Jaskier has become (more of) a bumbling caricature who telegraphs every single "joke" - the latest I saw was the best yet:

"I am known for my eagle eyes"
[Trips over a "root"]
FFS.

The politics of the war are largely overcomplicated and confusing now since everyone is on different sides and fighting each other for no reason that I was attentive enough to follow. They decided wands sell, so there's a fight at Hogwart's thrown in, which unfortunately comes off as a very poor copy. I really do feel for the actors who have to pretend their way through these things - at least with a real(ish) weapon you get some physical feedback you can use, but here they can't even believe in the script. I can't remember a single monster other than in flashback, but then as mentioned above, I have found my attention wandering through lack of engagement.

I'll watch it because I'm already invested via the first three series, but this is really wasting my time.

I've also got The Recruit (Netflix) on the go, about a reluctant CIA chap. I only watch this on the treadmill at the gym, but it's good enough that it's making me want to get my bumbum back down there as have been shirking for the last week and a half and it's showing. A much better watch.
