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)
