What was the last TV show you watched?


Recommended Posts

A Small Light, 2023, Disney+/Hulu/Nat Geo

This miniseries kinda blew me away.  Superb acting and writing. 

From IMDB:

Quote
Follows twentysomething Miep Gies who, when her boss Otto Frank came to her and asked her to hide his family from the Nazis during World War II, didn't hesitate. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan, and the other helpers watched over the eight souls (Otto Frank, his wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot as well as four others) in hiding in the Secret Annex. And it was Miep who found Anne's Diary and kept it safe so Otto, the only one of the eight who survived, could later share it with the world as one of the most powerful accounts of the Holocaust.
 

I binged this series ... 10 out of 10.

 

 

FUBAR, 2023, Netflix

(Season 1) - It was ok.  Thought some of the writing was sloppy.  Stream if you have the time...but if you don't you aren't missing much.  4 out of 10.

Black Mirror Season 6 - Netflix

This was a weird season, in that it seems to have moved away from dystopian sci-fi to ...umm something else.  Only five episodes ... none of them were particular great with IMO Episode 1 and 5 being pretty good.  Episode 2 felt really out of place for a Black Mirror episode but was ok.  Episode 3 was alright.  Episode 4 was largely meh.

The Watcher on Netflix. Rich people move into a nice house but the neighbours are all a bit mental...

One episode in and I'm suitably intrigued.

Oh, I started watching that but drifted away from it for some reason. Maybe I'll try watching from where I left it and see if I remember enough to get to the end. Or maybe I'll remember why I stopped watching it. :laugh:

Silo Episodes 1-5

I Really liked the books the show is based on and the show does not disappoint. 

8/10

I'd not read the books, however the series is really good. Pleased it got renewed for a second series also!

I've just the final episode of the first series to watch this weekend, series are too short these days.

So, now watching

Reacher S2

For All Mankind. its a bout an alternative timeline where NASA and the space race stayed important...each season is set in a different decade.

Slow horses (just discovered this, ace!)

and just started Beacon 23, only a few eps into that tho....

Over the last few months I've been slowly watching The X-Files from series 1. I'd never really watched it back in the day, just the odd random episode here and there.

Having now watched to series 5 over the last few months I will say I'm really enjoying it. Clearly a product of its time, however still holds up really well today in my opinion as a first time watcher. The conspiracy episodes in particular are fantastic, in some ways I wish the series was more like that all the time.

As a side note the HD remaster of it on Blu-ray / Disney+ looks stunning compared to the old DVDs my friend has of it. After seeing the difference he is planning to re-watch it also.

Binge watching One Piece (anime) on Netflix and Tale of the Nine Tailed 1938 (season 2) on Amazon Prime (season 1 is on Netflix).

I am watching old Siskel and Ebert. It was the chief movie review show back in the day. (They are on YouTube does that count as tv?) Also I just watched the 1st episode of Monarch Legacy of Monsters.

Just finished True Detective s4, it was shorter at 6 eps compared to 8 for the others but I liked it overall.  Nothing is as good as the masterpiece that is s1, but s4 isn't a big step down compared to s2 and s3 IMO.

I watch all these except for Beacon 23, did you stick with it? It has mixed reviews on IMDB but I do like sci-fi.

I have started watching Shogun (love it!) and Constellation (watched the first two eps back to back, and the main characters started to annoy me, so we'll see how that plays out).

Other stuff I am watching:

Star Trek TOS (completed in January)
Halo, (although idk why I don't understand the plot, because I never played the game)
Star Trek TNG (up to ep 9 so far)
Curb Your Enthusiasm (wow, I love this, never seen it ever before but I am glad I started watching it) 
Alfred Hitchcock Presents (I am up to Season 6)
The Fall Guy (up to Season 2 so far)
Loudermilk (up to S2E7)

Some others I am watching now and again because I can't get into it: Surreal Estate, TED, Burn Notice, The Invaders)

    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
