Topic: The TV Show Thread

@Tjuz oooooooh Broadchurch , i passed on this when the first and second season aired on ITV, im not a fan of ITV and if no one recommends anything ill just bypass it. when the third season aired a work colleague said about and i said id not given it a second glance. luckly enough i found both season in a boxset cheap in sainsburys plus the third had just been released. utterly loved it.

i'll have to seek out season 2 episode 8 and give it a watch your not the first person to say to me have good that episode was

I’ve been watching Justified on Prime and I have to say it’s been incredible so far. I’m halfway through Season 2 and it’s one of the best shows I’ve seen in a while.

@nessisonett Ooooh i just finished the final season last night. Although there is a gap of a couple of years between me watching this and the penultimate season, so I don't really remember what went on before. Brilliant show, but I think it might be as bit dialogue heavy for some.

Slowly watching the 3rd season of Castlevania. I don't tend to watch television on my own, but this is so good.

@LieutenantFatman Yep, I agree. I forgot there was so much humour in the series.

Since I have nothing better to do in quarantine, I’ve been rewatching Supernatural’s first few seasons (you don’t watch past season 5). It was one of those shows I used to watch from behind the sofa with my mum when I was wee and I’m actually enjoying the early episodes a lot. It’s kinda strange to see what it became when it started off as ‘Buffy goes on a road trip’.

@RogerRoger I’m glad you posted your thoughts because I keep seeing that pop up but I had no intention of watching it, but now I definitely will check it out!

@LN78 I started watching BCS but only got through the first half of season 1. I liked it alright, but it was still a let down from the excellent Breaking Bad. Sound like it gets better though.

@LN78 Yeah. I've not watched the latest series yet, but I've really enjoyed Better Call Saul so far. It's kinda similar to Breaking Bad, but it's also fairly different and has its own feel to it as well. BB and BCS are enjoyable in different ways I think.

@LN78 It’s been a while since I watched BrBad — I hope I don’t need to remember all the details of that series to get the full effect of BCS.

Finished series 5 of Better Call Saul last night. One of my favourite shows ever, and this was easily my favourite series so far. Episode 8 was a particular highlight

@LN78 Yep, getting a bit worried about Kim now. I always thought it was going to end up with Kim having to disappear and Jimmy would be the one who helped her do it, but now I'm not sure. It's starting to look bleak for her. I think this show has surpassed Breaking Bad for me personally. The characters are given more room to breathe and feel a little bit more fleshed out as a result

@LN78 I've not actually got around to El Camino yet, but it's on my to-watch list. I'm looking forward to seeing how they wrap Saul up, certainly. I'm hoping the next season isn't too badly affected by the Covid situation

@LN78 Yeah that's one of my favourite things about Better Call Saul - they've taken their time with it, where other shows may have been compelled to rush. It has allowed events to unfurl nicely.

To be honest I've struggled to fill the void since the latest season finished. I started watching Ozark, which seems like a perfectly good show, but it just doesn't compare. Hugely unfair, I know.

@LN78 I forgot about Narcos, cheers. That's the problem with having a to-watch list which exists solely in my head

I reached the end of season 5 of The Clone Wars with the Ahsoka arc and I'll admit, I had a tear in my eye. I thought it was great story telling and adds so much more towards Anakin's turn to the dark side.

I like Star Wars I do.

@RogerRoger Yeah, I've heard real good things about it too. I'm gonna thoroughly enjoy these last two seasons then move on to Rebels.

I gave El Camino a watch. It was quite different to what I expected, but still rather enjoyable. I'd say it's worth watching for those that enjoyed Breaking Bad. It follows on from the events of Breaking Bad, so don't watch it unless you've seen all of BB.

I'm watching Last Man Standing then going to watch Two and a Half Men then The Big Bang Theory.

Finished Justified tonight. 6 seasons in only a few weeks and I loved every minute. I honestly can’t stress how good a watch it is, especially binging it. The ending provided a perfect conclusion and wrapped up basically every loose end in the whole series. I’d totally recommend it to anybody if they’re looking for something to watch in lockdown.
