The best new and returning TV series thread

Slow Horses season 3 release has been moved forward to Wednesday.
Pretty sure I read a while ago that they were shooting season 3 and 4 back to back so should be a reasonable amount of episodes.

[weegie01]

Watching Gen V, The Boys spin off.
Well it's certainly not been toned down from the original series.
Truly very amusing

I really liked it.

Blue Eye Samurai is superb. (Netflix)

Bit late to the party, but I'm finally cracking through Peaky Blinders.

Tom Hardy could act the shit out of a shipping forecast and that Cillian Murhpy fella's not bad either.

If you haven't seen it, check out Hardy in Taboo. Regency era drama involving The East India Company, the Crown, Hardy doing a turn as a half mad, possibly mystic and definitely up to no good protagonist and lots of hammy but fun acting.

But you will need to watch it with the subtitles on as Hardy goes on another of his mumbling growl roles.

Really enjoying Good Omens 2. It's not quite as good as the first one, but good solid fun with some very nice references.

It's old and hammy, but I've been going through the old SG1 series too, sort of background watching. Just watched the episode where there's a production of Wormhole X-treme, a take off of the stargate program, but they poke fun at some of the tropes, asking how come everyone speaks English, and why when they go out of phase, and can walk though walls, how come they don't fall through the floor.

I watched a few of those randomly the other day and was kinda surprised how much I enjoyed it too!

Have seen it, Hardy was extremely enjoyable. Subtitles were definitely required.

It's on my long list of things to watch that the mrs isn't interested in

Just binge watched the first season of Reacher.
Pleasantly surprised tbh. Puts the Tom Cruise version into perspective.

Not read the books, but understood that Reacher was supposed to be an all american action hero type, massive guy etc, couldn't bring myself to watch any of the Cruise stuff, but quite enjoyed the first season, looking forward to the second.

[sockwithaticket]

The first Cruise film is solid if unspectacular, provided you can pretend he's not meant to be Reacher. Also not read any of the books, but aware that his sheer size was a pretty integral element of the character.

[Ymx]

First 2 episodes of Slow Horses has just dropped.

As a reminder from above

[Insane_Homer]

A Murder at the End of the World (Disney+) has been excellent so far. Well worth a watch

[Biffer]

Good Omens has been renewed for a third and final season

[Blackmac]

Finally managed to watch all of Love/Hate. I know it was never designed as the end as there was meant to be a series 6, but it was quite fitting that just about every scummy anti-hero character came to a sticky end.

Just like the reality of Dublins gangland ....

[Gumboot]

Just watched the second 3-part series of Time, set in a women's prison this time. Harrowing, but excellent.

The guys making it got "notions" about it being the Irish version of the wire but it's decent if slight fun. One of my former work locations features heavily.

[Uncle fester]

Started watching Bodies.
Intriguing so far.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially the lads playing Nige and Fran.

Anybody watched "The Winter King" yet or know if the series just focuses on the first book?

No. It's my favourite of Cornwell's books so I just can't

Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, the actor playing Nidge is hilariously Middle class compared to his character.

If they do it even halfway well, it will knock the spots off The Last Kingdom, which was a fine adaptation in itself.

[Sandstorm]

The Book of Boba Fett. Sandpeople? Dicks!!

I have now. Won't be bothering. The plus is it prompted me to reread it in anticipation.

I’m on episode 5. It’s fucking great.

[Gumboot]

I'm late to the party, but is it worth binging the first two series first, or better to jump in at season 3?

First 2. The plots aren't connected but individual storylines might seem odd without context. Plus they're both great too.

Where the fuck is Reacher S2??? They finished filming 6 months ago.

3 episodes in, it's not as good as Season one. I've read all the books and Bad luck and Trouble is not the best of the breed....still not terrible.

[Dan54]

Top Boy went out with a bang. Loved that series. Not without its faults, but The Wire lite? Fuck off.

Loved this, though I admit the first couple of series I had to have translation on. Probably one of shows I have enjoyed most for a year or 2. Only trouble is, I struggling to find another to get into at moment, was a show I watched and mrs didn't really, we tend to have a few like that. Haven't read through all of thread, but happy to look at suggestions for good uns!
I do admit I tend to lean towards English programs, always have , but happy with good ones from anywhere.

Same here, both on loving the books and being worried about the series. Bit sad, as it's written so visually and should have made great television.

Christmas day will bring the last ever episode of Ghosts, which is also sad but for positive reasons.

Finished Bodies on Netflix. Excellent.

Yeah, I thought it was very very good too
