The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

We enjoyed it too.

Far fetched... Nah. I think there is a lot that goes on that is mere mortals don't know about.

I came close to something in a quiet sleepy little pile of countryside that left me "spooked". Pun intended.

was decent drama with a few turns, the ending was a bit against current political thinking tho

Started watching Red eye on ITVx

It's terrible, but it's a lot of fun!

Where can I watch it, is it subtitles or dubs

Its sky Atlantic who distributes it , don't think they are running it presently, Netflix have ran it but hold on just a min ,quick search on the box and its on sky demand download free standard definition, its subtitles which I don't usually have the attention span to read for more than 30mins but managed 5 series with this, trice over.enjoy

Just finished watching Brew Masters on Amazon. If you watch it don't have anything close to you that you can throw at the TV when the contestants do head slapping things, and one team both of them work in a brewery (I'll refrain from spoilers).

It gets better as the episodes go on and it does make you think about what you would do given the various challenges (apart from better than they did , being cruel, there are some good brews).

I’m a big fan of Shameless! Frank Gallagher is such a wild character—he’s messy, unpredictable, and keeps things interesting. The show’s mix of humor and drama is top-notch.

Happens a lot. A show gets popular and it gets swamped with writers who create confusing episodes.

Heroes is a classic example “save the cheerleader, save the world “. Remember it ? Started off fresh and exciting then they started switching characters from baddies to goodies etc. Lost it’s way.

The female lead was nice though -Hayden Panitiere.

Heroes is a classic example

That had so much potential, Sylar was a great villain and his character arc was very well thought out, it's a shame that the writers were evidently replaced by a bunch of talentless hacks in the later seasons.

Supernatural was much the same, probably one of my all time favourite series but the last season...it's like the studio just said 'haha, joke's on you', flipped a middle finger to the loyal fanbase and ran out the door with a bagful of cash.

Happens a lot. A show gets popular and it gets swamped with writers who create confusing episodes.

Actors profiles increase and they get more creative control too. Actors start to not want to look ugly or have their characters suddenly be funny and things like that.
Also writers tend to revert back to 'what works' like in Game of Thrones when they kept making everyone be in a duo because it worked with Tyrion and Bron and Arya and The Hound.

I think the problem with Heroes was the writers strike.
Effected a lot of series.
Almost led to the pre mature ending of Battlestar Galactica

 

[matt.]

Dexter for me.
Anyone else a fan?

Finished up season four of the Boys.
Highly recommended

It can get a bit much but some of the episodes are very clever and fun.

Others are just disturbing.

The feature length movie, Bambersnatch, where you chose the characters choices (like those adventure books in thr 80s) is great fun

Just finished Ted Lasso.

I'll be honest, I'm not really a soccer fan and the wife detests it, but we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Honestly, one of the best things I've ever seen. The thing is, the whole premise could be Rugby, Hockey, Cricket or *insert team sport here*. The sport itself is really rather irrelevant. I'd say that the actual playing of Football is probably less than 0.5% of the entire series. You get maybe anywhere between 10 and 30 seconds of playing per episode.

And many episodes don't have any football at all.

House of the Dragon, prequel to Game of Thrones is great craic, if you like Dragons, *** and lots of violence
