What TV are you watching?

My use of the C word has increased dramatically since starting series 4 of The Boys... you c**ts!

We Hunt Together

Another one I'm late to, but the second series was recommended so I figured I'd start from the beginning of the first series.

The first episode was great, but the second pretty quickly becomes a fairly standard police procedural affair. I'm going to keep going with it, but I'm disappointed after such a promising start.

Finished the first series.

Probably a 6/10 overall. The most interesting aspects of the characters never really got explored properly. There's enough there to make me give the second series ago in the hope that's where it'll develop into something deeper but I'm not overly confident that it will.

The Acolyte... more nonsense from even longer ago in a galaxy far far away in which a murderous child snatching Jedi is painted as a hero

im awaiting s2 of Andor , one of the best SW series for me showing "normal " people with no space magic to fill plot holes .

Only from a certain point of view.

On Amazon. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Don't bother, crap.

I was so disappointed. The trailer was very promising. And basically a true story too but Ritchie spoilt it. No risk to our heroes.

3/10 from me. 5/10 for the series.

Effectively the show seems to have forgotten a war has started and thousands of people should be being killed on a weekly basis. Apparently there are dragons as well yes. Also the less said about yet another Captain Jack Sparrow and their mud wrestling competition to show dominance the better. And that was Otto right at the end (Rhys Ifans got 3rd billing in credit for that 10 second scene) though because we spent so much time with Captain Jack and her new boyfriend we don't know why he's locked up.

For me the worst is that they (unlike GoT) have a good story that is finished to follow, sure compress characters into less people to make it easier to understand, but keep the story. They are making the same mistake many TV/filmakers do, that they think they can write a better story than what made the original so good.

Ps If I see that bloody dock scene one more time.....

But the boats ALMOST ready to go.

I'm enjoying the clips of GOT on YouTube Shorts far more than any episode of HOTD. And two year gaps between the series must be killing them. GOT gave you more episodes every year. I'd not be surprised if HOTD doesn't run it's course.

It's been renewed for a third series, and they're sticking with the 2 year schedule. Quite cunning in a way as I know I'll have forgotten how bored I was by this series and end up watching it to remind myself what happened (aka the interesting bits that happened between episodes that weren't shown).

Watched the last two episodes of High Country last night, been good and a twist at the end

we finally got round to watching this and enjoyed it, apart from being made to jump at least once per episode. 😆

Watching 1883 on Paramount. A prequel series to Yellowstone. Enjoying it a lot so far but then I tend to like a Western.

Quite agree. The premise was good, but once Alan Ritchison started running about like a modern day Robin Hood with all the others being unerring shots too, it got ridiculous.

Series three of The Outlaws didn't disappoint.

Latest series of Sherwood is going down well

 

[Beebo]

BBC 4 showing repeats of 70’s episodes of Call My Bluff.
I was amazed how it is exactly the same format as Would I lie to you, just slower and less funny.

... and with added Joanna Lumley. I forgot how posh she was!
