[Glenn.]

If you have Disney Plus then I’d recommend The Mandalorian. I’m not a massive Star Wars fan but I did enjoy it.

[LaLaLand]

Well I've started Seinfeld recently (shamefully never watched it before!) and I'm HOOKED. It's so, so funny! :joker:

9 long series to get through too - can't wait.

[Ammi]

...and another echo for I May Destroy You and also Pose...I need to watch Fleabag, I keep forgetting to...

[Ammi]

...The Fall is also excellent...

[Ammi]

...The Haunting of Bly Manor, also...:love:..(...also the first one, The Haunting of Hill House, if you haven’t seen it...)...

[LaLaLand]

I also recommend POSE with everyone else - it's fantastic!

[Vanessa]

...The Fall is also excellent...

I love that one!

[Lee.]

A lot of my favourites mentioned; The Fall, Big Little Lies, Haunting of Hill House (although I thought Bly Manor was nowhere near as good) Line of Duty, The Undoing.

We actually started Afterlife last night.. it’s a wee bit depressing tbh

Will definitely have a look at I May Destroy You and Pose 😊

[Alf]

You people don't half watch some sh!te.

[Cherie]

The Affair
Succession

Both on Now TV

The Sinner - Netflix

[Mystic Mock]

Do you like Detective Shows? Because I'd recommend Mindhunter and the first Season of True Detective.

The Witcher is really good if you like Fantasy.

[Black Dagger]

You'll never watch another movie where your hands will sweat as much. Absolutely insane what he does.

Also 90 day fiance is my guilty pleasure.

I preference the original there was no need for a remake if a film that was out a couple of years

[Alf]

Essential viewing for tomorrow.

...Jessie Buckley..:lovedup:...she’s becoming one of my most watchable actresses...the thing I’ve seen her in most recently was Netflix/I’m Thinking of Ending Things...she’s Irish but her Glasgow accent in the movie is pretty perfect...(..I think as a non Scottish person, anyway...)...

....Hmmmmm, I’ll try to think of some more....

I've been meaning to watch This is us ,but haven't got round to it yet .

[GoldHeart]

We watched Escape Room last night i thought it was pretty good

Wait which version?
I think the 2019 version is better than the sloppy 2017 one .
The 2019 one still has its flaws ,but was still watchable.

[reece(:]

Vikings! The last season has just been released today.
and The Last Kingdom, somewhat similar but just as good if not better.

[thesheriff443]

I don’t really watch any fictional program or much tv to be honest

[LukeB]

Real Housewives shows!

My sister just text me to say the new series started tonight!! 😊
I’ve got a bit of catching up to do.. can’t really remember where I’d see up to either, so might need to go back a bit. It’s SO good though.

Niamh, tell me you’ve watched Vikings? :lovedup:

[James]

I don't watch a lot of television but the two series I liked this year were,

Cobra Kai - Karate Kid sequel series that I thought was witty and quite heart-warming. Season 3 is released on New Year's Day.

Mr Robot - it's about a loner computer hacker, although it gets very dark and depressing in places, and it was a bit of a mistake to finish it just as the first lockdown was starting, when I was feeling fairly anxious about what was going on.

I honestly thought Cobra Kai would be ****e, but I loved every minute of it! I found it very nostalgic, and I’m so excited that it’s been brought forward to NYD 😊

Not heard of Mr Robot tbh.. might take a look.

I've lost count of the number of times I've re-watched the first two seasons of Cobra Kai. :blush:

[Marsh.]

You people don't half watch some sh!te.

Not as sh*te as that crap in your avatar.

[bots]

Mr Robot was great and had some real unpredictable moments in it

I also like Expanse and Bosch both from Amazon prime

[Jack_]

The Morning Show

Most underrated show this year

[The Slim Reaper]

Warrior - it's sort of like a peaky blinders (another show you should watch) gangster show set in San Francisco not long after the civil war, based around gangland/opium wars between rival Chinese factions and the Irish.

I love Peaky Blinders! The worst thing about this year (apart from all the deaths obvs) was the new series’ of PB and Line of Dury being delayed :fist:

You should def check out warrior then, if you like PB.

It was curious watching Mr Robot through the lens of 2020 as you could view / accuse it as kind of anti-Chinese in places.

Have you watched S3 yet? I’m annoyed at myself tbh.. I planned on watching a few last night but ended up bingeing until 2am and now I’ve only got two left to watch :sad:

[Nicky91]

i plan on watching Cobra Kai, when i'm done with Dynasty S3 and i have to wait anyways for season 4 of that

i watched the trailer, it looked good

It’s so good Nicky! I didn’t think it looked like my kind of thing, but I love it!
I don’t know what age you are, but for those old enough to have loved The Karate Kid films, it’s very nostalgic too

[Mystic Mock]

The Expanse is fantastic if Lee likes Sci-Fi anyway.

[The Slim Reaper]

Is Mr Robot the Rami malek/Christian Slater thingy? I found it so boring I quit after a few episodes

[Vanessa]

I've got the Breakout Bad dvd.
Might start to watch that one.

Afterlife is very good so bear with it.

The Fall
The Crown
The Queens Gambit we are watching now...

[Bollo]

You people don't half watch some sh!te.
:laugh: Oh absolutely i do! what i listed is the best ****e i watch...You wouldn't want to hear the ****e ****e i watch :laugh: I don't watch darts but i hear Jockey Wilson was good in his day...

[rusticgal]

Handmaids Tale...:cheer2:

[Bollo]

Well I've started Seinfeld recently (shamefully never watched it before!) and I'm HOOKED. It's so, so funny! :joker:

9 long series to get through too - can't wait.

This is a classic show, the best is series 4 where it really takes off. If you haven't already watched it then watch Episode 11 'The Contest' it is disgusting but brilliant...

[Lee.]

The Fall
The Crown
The Queens Gambit we are watching now...

Loved The Fall (and Jamie Dornan!)
I keep threatening to watch The Crown, but never get round to it.. I have zero interest in the Royal family but I think I may still enjoy it?
My colleague recommended Queens Gambit too.. might give it a shot 😊

Handmaids Tale...:cheer2:

LOVED it! :love:

LOVED it! :love:I didn't think I'd like The Crown but I do, doesn't paint any of them in a great light though so far bar Prince Philips mother

Queens Gambit is very good [emoji106]

I’m only half way through series 3 so I’ll get there eventually. Great that from this series there’s a LOT of episodes each time.

I just love it. Been one of those shows that I’ve always heard of but never saw and relegated it to the same type of thing as “Friends” (which I’m not a fan of shamefully) before giving it a chance. I think I just love that it’s so mundane and pointless yet so funny regardless.

I watched it in two sessions on January 1st, but I don't mind because I like re-watching them.

The other computer-type show I liked in recent years is Halt and Catch Fire. It's about a group of people working in the computer industry in the 80s and early-90s, so Ithat aspect of it was up my street. But it is also about their lives and relationships. Lee Pace is great in it - a really interesting character.

It's brilliant and nothing like 'Friends' but I think people assume that because its an american sitcom from the 90's but it's sooo much better. Keep an eye on Kramer cos his character just keeps getting more and more bonkers... and when George starts referring to himself in the third person it's just hysterical :laugh:
