TV shows I love to watch

[goughy]

My musings after finally watching GOT.

We both think it's a show about Tyrion. By far the best character and actor on the show. And he seemed involved in everything. I really think it was a show about him.
If we hadn't started it when the show was over, so could binge watch it, we'd have given up. We almost didn't watch past season 4 as it was, which would have been a shame because from about the middle of season 5 up to the end of season 7 was awesome. If we'd been watching from the start, and waited 2 years from the awesome ending of S7 to see the first two eps of S8, I'd have felt ripped off. Having binged it the dragging of those first two eps was less of an annoyance. Am I disappointed I watched it? No. We were looking for something else to watch so it filled a gap. But if I hadn't watched it I don't think I'd have missed anything. I'll never watch it again, and I tend to watch stuff over and over.

Now we can move back onto Lucifer and Chernobyl.

[BenM]

I just finished Chernobyl, it's fantastic.

[TheNuclearOne]

Knocked over Sons of Anarchy in 2 or 3 weeks with no expectations of knowledge going in except that it is very highly rated. Fantastic show and i really enjoyed it. Lots of good acting, plenty of fast moving plots and a fair shair of brutality.

[billp]

Chernobyl and Killing Eve are my favourite shows to date this year.

[AndyP]

I need to get on to Killing Eve. The missus watches it, so I'll have some catching up to do.

[goughy]

It wasn't bad. I haven't watched any of session two yet though.

[AndyP]

It wasn't bad.
That's not a glowing report, but this is coming from the guy who kept watching GoT which was just okay.

[goughy]

Much of what I watch is just ok. I prefer killing eve to got. But I watch very little TV on my own and rob didn't take to killing eve, so we didn't watch it together. I only watched season one a few months ago. Jody comer was great. And even funnier when you hear her true accent; a bit like when you hear James McAvoy's after only hearing him speak with a Yankee accent.

Wish The Expanse would start. Hanging out for it, our favourite show off the last few years.

[Courty]

Quite enjoying City On A Hill at the moment.

[goughy]

This looks better and better each preview

[AndyP]

Just watched the first 3 eps of the new Netflix series ‘Love Death and Robots’


All animated short stories with a sci-fi edge. All different writers and different animators.


The first 3 were great.
How kid (12yo) friendly is this show, Courty? The rating suggests it is not.


Last season is crapolla
I still enjoyed the last season of The Bridge (which did make it to SBS recently), but there was a moment when it seemed to jump the shark. "It's all about Tommy".

Finished off the last season of Jessica Jones with the family last night; good, but not great.
I've just started Season 3 of The Handmaid's Tale.
I've watched a few episodes of Black Mirror too, and that was cool. I was always put off by how many season there were, and thought that it would be too much effort, but episodes are standalone, and there are only a few episodes per season anyway.

[Courty]

You're right. It's not even close to being kid friendly.

On the topic of The Bridge, I've just found a couple more 'Scandi Noir' series to check out... one called 'Greyzone', and the other Advokaten (The Lawyer).

I'm also keen on checking out the new Amazon series that dropped a couple of days ago called 'The Boys'. By all reports it's very good.

[AndyP]

I just M - The City Hunts a Murderer from SBS for another European crime drama. Mostly because it is based in Vienna though.

[goughy]

Do yourself a favour and give Another Life on Netflix a miss. Thank me later.

Gonna give NOS4A2 a go.

[TheNuclearOne]

Watched another little Euro German/Austria Crime/Drama/Mystery on SBS called Pagan Peak. It's only about 8 episodes long and gears up nicely after a slow first couple of eps. Good acting and the protagonist is quite interesting. Scenery is very impressive too of course. Bit slow for a while but very interesting thereafter.

It’s quite good fun with the right guests.

Has anyone watched Money Heist?

I’m near the end of Season 1 and am unsure about continuing.

[TheNuclearOne]

Ooo, I'll add that to the list.

Let me know how you go. It takes about 2 1/2 eps to really get you in so hang in there as it builds.

[Captain Nemo]

Anyone know a good site to watch past series episodes for free rather than having to sign up to things etc....?

[goughy]

Yeah, but hasn't the govt shut them all down??? ;)

[Captain Nemo]

No idea, let me know.

[Bigbad]

If you sign up for Stan you get the first month free, and I think you can cancel straight away without paying the $14 a month or whatever it is.

I've just started City on a Hill on Stan, which is a pretty good show about robberies in Boston.

[AndyP]

SBS On Demand don't seem to have it though. They mustn't have streaming rights.

[damoocow]

I had thought Underbelly was the pinnacle of Australian shit tv until i watched Les Norton tonight.
Boring, predictable and looked like it was shot by high school film students.
As a country we are embarrassing.

Anyone else given The Mandalorian or His Dark Materials a go yet? What do you think so far?

[Toxic]

Animal Kingdom

[AndyP]

Anyone else given The Mandalorian or His Dark Materials a go yet? What do you think so far?
I'll probably watch His Dark Materials, after I add Amazon to watch the last series of Man in the High Castle.

What is The Mandalorian on?

[Courty]

I’ve watched the first 2 eps of The Mandalorian. I enjoy Star Wars material but wouldn’t say I’m a huge fan so I’m unlikely to pick up inconsistencies with the main story line. With that in mind, I quite enjoyed it and will keep going.

[goughy]

Yeah, I'm a huge star wars fan, but not one of those freaks that delve right down into it. I thought they were good, and the production was quality. Same with HDM, quality production.It's on Disney+, so the usual sources.

[Daves]

I have just stumbled onto some clips on YouTube for Letterkenny. Anyone know where it is streamed?

Edit: Seems SBS on Demand has it.

[goughy]

Anyone else given Avenue 5 a go yet? I'm enjoying it so far. Did nothing for Rob though; not her type of sci-fi.

[TheNuclearOne]

Been busy lately.

Luther was great.
The following i enjoyed even if it got more than a bit silly at times.
Chernobyl was great, top show.
Bosch i really enjoyed.
Barry was rather different and i quite enjoyed it.
Killing Eve series 1 was quirky but ok.
Currently hammering through The Americans which has been awesome 1 series and a few eps in. Cracking show so far.

[Pickles]

The only show I really watch on a weekly basis at the moment is Curb Your Enthusiasm.

On Netflix recently watched Seasons 1&2 of You. Creepy, but entertaining. Second season was better than the first.

Watched Don’t F*ck With Cats. Don’t let the title fool you, it’s actually quite good. Three part, true story about a psychopath.

Also watched the 3 parter on Aaron Hernandez. Found this quite good as well.

[ParkRoyal]

Just finished Years and Years. Really good 6 episode series, slightly unnerving as parts of it is semi plausable.

That Aaron Hernandez one was really good. I didn’t realise he’d killed himself though.

[goughy]

I get annoyed with this thing these days where tv series take a 2 year break between seasons! I mean, shows used to be 20+ episodes a season years ago, X every year, with a 10th of the technology we have today. Westworld was one in particular, which immediately went 2 years between seasons, from the start. I decided to give it the flick after the last season, and was finding the episodes rather drawn out anyway.

Just saw the trailer for the next season..... and I'm hooked! Friggin bastards.

[AndyP]

The standards of TV Shows are at movie levels these days. These breaks shouldn't be surprising if we want quality, but that doesn't stop it from being annoying.

[Johnny Canuck]

They also used to stretch the season out over half a year or longer.

So many shows are released a season at a time, allowing binge watching and greater wait times.

[AndyP]

Yeah, how did people wait a whole week for the next episode before?

[wazamac]

What ever happened to shows that were filmed in front of a live automated laughing machine?

[WBennett]

So now there is no live sport for a month or two, whats worth watching on Netflix or whatever?

[PerryGroves]

WB, I didn't mind The Loudest Voice in the Room, Rusty Crowe playing Roger Ailes who built Fox News. Think it was on Stan.

Also on Stan, plenty of episodes is Billions, may be more my thing than yours, wheeling and dealing in hedge fund world.

[3Puttpete]

So now there is no live sport for a month or two, whats worth watching on Netflix or whatever? I turned Netflix off last week for Kayo with the golf majors and AFL coming up. Bugger. I’m 2 eps into The Test on Amazon. Takeaways so far : Langer was the right pick to look after cricket in Australia and Usman is the right man to look after Usman.

[TheNuclearOne]

So glad i stocked up on a few movies and TV Series via the last couple of big JB HI-FI sales. I've got aabout 4 seasons of The Walking Dead unopened, the complete Hannibal series, the complete The Shield series and season 1 of Narcos among other things. Who knows what happens in the next few months.

Just finished the entire Series of "The Americans" and absolutely loved it overall. Season 5 i found quite a bit flat but there were some immense moments across the series that i will not forget in a hurry. Without spoiling the tire scene, snatch scene, sparring scene and soooo many more. The acting was strong overall and the leads brilliant, particularly Matthew Rhys. They also tied it up quit realistically and didn't go for multiple happy endings. The choice of music (smack bang in my fave decade) was sensational and i only wish they used more of it. Plenty of sex and violence and a fascinating storyline.

[goughy]

Westworld S3 should drop anytime now. I had to find a timeline chat to make sense of seasons 1 and 2. And I just happened across a chronologically edited set of seasons 1 and 2. The flipping back and forward through time gets a bit confusing, especially early on when you didn't realise it was happening.

After the end of S02 I was thinking I'd be unlikely to watch any more. I just watched S03E01. Still a little confused as to WTF is going on.

I've recently watched 'Altered Carbon' S02, 'I Am Not OK With This', 'The Capture' and am currently neck deep in the final season of Homeland (all good).

I'll then move on to 'The Stranger', S03 of 'The Sinner', S04 of Brockmire, 'Hunters' and the next season of 'Ozark' (due in the next fortnight).

[goughy]

I was the same with Westworld, and the 2 years between seasons doesn't sit well with me. Then I saw the trailer for s3 and it snagged me. I've read that at least the first 4eps run more linear. I haven't watched it yet though. We just kinda stopped watching Homeland for some reason. I liked it cause she's bipolar.

I'm smashing Doomsday Preppers on Netflix

[Hatchman]

Was looking for something to watch on Netflix Sunday.
Series 2 of Formula 1 - Drive to Survive came up in the trending so I went in search of series 1.
Found the story of several Drivers/Teams ups and downs really interesting and enjoyed it a lot. Series 1 was Daniel Ricardo's last year at Red Bull which they spent a bit of time on about him making the decision to move on when Red Bull were sure he would sign with them. What made it so interesting was following the issues and pressures associated with all the Teams and Drivers that weren't Ferrari or Mercedes just hoping to score points and what's at stake.
Watched all of series 1 Sun/Mon and now a couple of episodes into series 2.

[thecollective]

Cancelled Kayo; absolutely no point continuing a paid service that has no live sport. Once GolfTV starts showing Euro tour will consider that as an alternative

Stan is getting a workout particularly with the kids. My wife is excited that Fleabag has just been added. Hilarious brit comedy

I really enjoyed Drive to Survive season 1 - season 2 didn't quite seem so engaging.

In saying that, I'll probably watch it again when we get kicked out of the office.

[AndyP]

I'll probably watch His Dark Materials,
I watched five episodes of this while flying with Qantas. However, now that work has stopped domestic travel, I might not get the chance to finish it before Qantas drop it. I wouldn't consider that a big loss though, as I was struggling with it.

I didn't mind Big Little Lies S1, which I also watched with Qantas, but it wasn't as good as I was led to believe.


I've recently watched 'Altered Carbon' S02,I lasted no more than two episodes of S1.

Late last year, I grabbed Amazon for a month, and did some bingeing. I finished The Man In the High Castle, which struggled to its finish by introducing some side stories that I didn't care about. I also watched Fleabag S2 (very good), Carnival Row (good world building, but needs more with the story), Undone (different, but good), Good Omens (okay), and NOS4A2 (meh)

Did anyone else watch The Witcher? It isn't the best show going around, and the main character's mumbling is hard to understand at times, but it was a fun watch.

I'm currently enjoying S1 of Dark on Netflix and I'm watching it in German with English subtitles, because I heard the English overdub was bad. It looks like there are quite a few of the regularly watched shows coming up; Better Call Saul, Ozark, Fargo, After Life, Sinner, and Killing Eve, so there may not be much time for any new shows, although there won't be any sport...

We've got a free trial of Apple TV, but there really isn't anything that I am inspired to watch on it. Has anyone watched any of their shows?

[goughy]

We enjoyed the Witcher. Not the greatest thing going around, but it was fun. Strangely I only got through a couple of EPs of altered carbon too.

Rob enjoyed The Morning Show which is on Apple. I didn't watch it.
If you've still got Amazon give The Expanse a gander.

[AndyP]

If you've still got Amazon give The Expanse a gander.Nah, I just got it for one month, and didn't want to commit to something with that many seasons.

I watched all of Witcher and was bit meh towards the end.

About half way through season 1 of a show called Counterpart, starring JK Simmons. Bloody ripper so far. Modern day cold war spy thriller, with a sci-fi edge. Only two seasons and I read it does come to a conclusion.

This was going along just ok for me for 3/4 or so of the first season and then BOOM. Multiple story arcs come together in one fantastic episode highlighted imo by Dutch's day in the sun. How damn good was that. It hasn't looked back since and i am well into season 5. Superlative TV.

Red Dwarf just release a 90 min episode, i guess its a one off.

Big fan of Red Dwarf - been watching it since the early 1990s. I read somewhere recently that it is one of only a few shows that have aired across five decades (80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and now 20s).

Evidently the new 'long format' episode got the best ratings of any show on Dave (the UK broadcaster who paid for it) in a few years. The reviews are generally positive as well, which makes it hopeful that there will be more series coming up. No idea if Australians can actually watch it legally though - no talk of a local release sadly.

[goughy]

I thought it was a good series and couldn't figure out why it got cancelled.The network it was on, Starz, was moving to a more female oriented schedule, and found Counterpart had a more male dominated demographic. It was never a high rating performer, though a highly regarded and will reviewed show. They shopped it around, but couldn't find a buyer, like Lucifer and The Expanse did.

[markTHEblake]

Halfway through Strike back season 8. Coincidentally when it started about 2 months ago the first couple episode involved a virus bioweapon being developed.

Its beginning to feel like the best season yet, much more character develepment than usual. That usually means someones gunna diem hope its not hot Aussie chick with the potty mouth. :-)

[TheNuclearOne]

The Shield was awesome.

Hannibal i couldn't quite get completely into. They took a gamble and run it quite alternative and it didn't quite gel for me. Great acting and filming.

Loved Banshee. It gets a bit over the top and almost comic book like at times but it was fantastic.

Entourage was one helluva party, loved it. Great light hearted fun and loads of flesh and laughs. Ari was the highlight of many highlights, god he was funny.

How good is Ray Donovon? Season 1 was pretty good but I got watching other shows. I've finally got to Season 2 and it's exploded.

One season down of Justified too.

I’ve been watching Letterkenny, which is a Canadian comedy. Quite funny.

I have been trying to find it for a while and it turned out that it was on SBS on demand.

[Sookie1]

Been some good binge watching on holidays. Unfortunately when I return to work tomorrow I will have to go back to normal tv time and I haven’t managed to get all I wanted watched.
Cobra Kai was a great trip down memory lane and very easy to watch and not take too seriously.
Kingdom has sort of sucked me in. The characters sucked me in but I’m only onto early season two.

I also agree with someone else’s comments earlier about Entourage. Loved that show and also Ari. I also like the way they ended everything with the movie. Not many series are lucky to get finished up in that way.

I am watching Brave New World - its brilliant. Must see if you have ever read the book - IMO it portrays a more likely futuristic society than "1984" or Mad Max :)

Where: Amazon Prime
How many seasons: One - 10 episodes
About: CIA/FBI interaction prior to 911

Worked for me, plus I like the work of Jeff Daniels

Bosch Season 7, huge pity it's the last season.

[Courty]

Mare of Easttown was an excellent watch.

I'm still on the scandi noir kick and plowing through as many series as I can find. Darkness: Those Who Kill season 2 was the most recent and it was very good (as was season 1).

Just started The Bureau, which will be followed by Katla & Dystopia.

Just finished the mini-series Time (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13138834/) (good), closely followed by mini-series The North Water (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7660970/) (excellent), and about to start Vigil (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11846996/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1).

Also keen on a couple of upcoming series... The Chestnut Man (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10834220/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), Invasion (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9737326/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) & Foundation (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804484/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1).

The moment they showed the "boundary area" these people have to stay in I turned it off.

Absolute bullshit. You think you're a good hunter, find someone who could be anywhere in the world, not in a 500-mile square area.

Might get into that after I’m done with Disney.

Two episodes left of Wandavision, which has been surprisingly good.

[AndyP]

I've got getting a Disney subscription as something to do to binge a few shows. Wandavision would be one, and Loki another, if it's any good.

[AndyP]

Mandalorian was really good as well.That's what I used my free trial on. And yes, it was really good.

[goughy]

The Marvel TV shows haven't been too bad! Wandavision drove Rob nuts for the first 2 or 3 episodes, then she had the "oh yeah" moment. Falcon and the Winter Soldier was ok, and Loki was a bit of fun with some good casting choices. Whether you like the MCU or not, there's no denying that they've done a pretty stellar job of tying everything in together, with planning going back many years! Kicking DC's arse with that.

[virge666]

Newsreader is very Australian and enjoyable.

Invincible was excellent.. for an Anime cartoon.. just freaking excellent. if you like Marvel ... watch this.

I am struggling to really find something that good - all the shows seem to be 3 episodes padded out to 8 episodes with so much nonsense in between.

I was similar with Wandavision. It’s developed nicely.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier was decent, easy watch.

I haven’t watched much of the Marvel Universe. Now that I’ve seen a few series, I need a plan of attack for the other parts

[goughy]

Havent found anything good since Strike Back and Last Ship finished. Anything good like that with lots of blowing up stuff? The last ship has been one of our favorites. The Expanse is one of the best shows on tv, let alone the best SciFi since before BSG.

[AndyP]

I have been told that you have to get through the first season of The Expanse before it becomes good. I didn't last that long, and would rather watch something else.

My missus said that while it was a good story, it was a bit lame at times, and the acting was bad. She still watched it all.

What about the shows in the "watch with the missus" category?

Big Little Lies was pretty good, so we are watching the new one, Nine Perfect Strangers, from the same author, on Amazon Prime.

Rosehaven on ABC is good for a light half hour Australian comedy too.

Wheel of Time is coming in November on Amazon Prime too. Based on the massive book series it will be interesting to see how it goes. Amazon have a series from the Tolkien world coming at some stage too.

Come back to me after Season 2... The last episode with the singing in the Church and breakup bit in the cupboard, had to forcible keep my dinner down.

i am guessing after the first season, they saw mostly women were watching . . . so they removed all the football and comedy, replacing it with all this nonsense about the women's relationships and male vulnerability. typical Grey's Anatomy vaginal TV.

They should rename the show, Roy F**king Kent, and bring back the fun.

This is what is so good about the show - I didn’t see it was about the women at all. I thought it was about the father and son relationship dynamic - Jamie and his arsehole father, Nate and his hard-to-please father, Ted and his father, Ted and Nate…My only real complaint was the filler episodes broke up the consistency of the storyline. Other than that - great. Only thing I’ve seen better this year was The White Lotus, but haven’t started watching Succession yet.

Just finished the first season of American Rust (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1532495/). It's quite gritty, but very well produced. If you liked Mare of Easttown, you'll like this.

Last but not least, we're neck deep in a show called Line of Duty (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2303687/). It's an English cop show that's been around for a while and was never really on our radar, but now that we've started it we can't stop!

Agreed. Nothing like the books at all. I'm persisting with it but not a fan. Might go back and re-read the books.

I haven't read the Foundation books, and I'm not overly enjoying the show. It took an episode and a half to get going, was good for a couple, then threw in a pointless backstory episode. Great visuals though.

[goughy]

I read that one of the reasons the Foundation story was considered "unfilmable" was because the books aren't really about characters, but are about the Foundation itself, and survival of the race. And the story takes place over a thousand+ years. TV and movies don't necessarily like not having regular characters. One of the things that drew us to watching it was the main actor who plays the guy who started the foundation...... loved him in The Expanse.

It’s pleasant.

Anyone watching MacGruber?

It's not exactly cerebral, but has plenty of amusing moments.

Unfortunately I think I am done with Yellowstone, they have wasted the whole season setting up prequels and sequels to the detriment of any real storyline for this series.

Agreed SH, haven't watched the last episode 'cause I'm gone from patiently waiting to indifferent

A bit like Succession, which I hadn't heard of until this year, then all you hear is about how good the current season is. If it was so good why didn't I hear about it before?

[Sydney Hacker]

Agreed SH, haven't watched the last episode 'cause I'm gone from patiently waiting to indifferent Just a quick follow up, I have found the last 2 episodes to be better. Hopefully they are done with setting up other shows but I suspect they will drift back into it.

Re-visiting the whole series of Person of Interest on 7+.
I missed a heap of episodes through 3 & 4 the first time it was on. Looking forward to those gaps being filled.
Binge watching last 2 days and up to episode 9 Season 2 atm.

It had the makings of a good show but it’s gone way over the top at this stage

1 billion percent.

has just become a boring soap opera with 15 seconds of story in-between contrived drama bits like the Bikers in the paddock and the Diner that got held up.. dont get me started on the big shootout at the end of the last season. Jumped the Shark, turned around and jumped the Shark again, then shot the Shark and jumped over that too.

The last 4 episodes of the last season - dead set, nothing happened, like absolutely nothing.

Not a tv show but watched sing 2 with the kids today. It’s tremendous. 10/10

Watched the first ep of the new season of Ozark. It is looking the goods again.

[henno]

I struggled to get started in Season 2 of Ozark, after enjoying Season 1, so just left it there. Is it worth pushing on?

I watched Start Up, but thought it ran 2nd to Ozark

I was looking for something a little more exciting after season 1 of Ozark so I stared at a brick wall for 8 hours.

[chappy1970]

Ploughed through Season 3 of Afterlife and really enjoyed it.

The ending suggested that this season may be the last, but who knows, it's very popular

Agreed Chappy. It's a fantastic piece of story-telling.

I really enjoyed it, but didn’t really like what they did to Roxy’s character in her absence.

Cool. I've been waiting for it. Sounds like a fun concept.

Obviously some are better than others. Marshawn Lynch was surprisingly entertaining.

Just watched the trailer. I’ll be checking this later.

[BUSHY]

Jack Reacher on Prime- more closely in line with the books and very entertaining.

[markTHEblake]

Saw the Reacher trailer too. Thought that the character is more suited to be a cunning old short bastard, rather than a humungous unit.
