Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Since the show's premise was that cat-mouse game between Chuck and Axe, I feel like it has taken waaay too long for either one of them to go to jail, you know ?
Feel like it has had too many seasons and i'm still waiting for that big moment where one character truly ''gets one'' over the other.
Based on the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Starts November 19 in the UK.
Fully agreed. When I first saw the trainer I thought it would be a mini series, 1 or 2 seasons max.
Has anyone watched Midnight mass on Netflix? I’ve only just finished the 2nd episode but it seems very promising and whoever the guy playing the priest is, is dropping a masterclass in acting.
Started Alice in Borderlands. Seems like a poor man's Squid Game but has me interested enough.
Just blitzed through Sweet Home. Korean horror series.
Enjoyed it more than Squid Game to be honest.

The Billion Dollar Code on Netflix
it has decent reviews but I thought it was pretty shite to be honest

Yeah, it's not bad, the tension ramps up and the finale is very satisfying. The only criticism I saw before I watched it was that there is at least one very long monologue per episode but that didn't bother me. Stick with it.
Thanks for the tip
First time I've heard of this one and yeah seems to have quite good reviews. What makes it pretty shite for you? Acting, plot?
i binged it over a couple of days, really enjoyed it. theres a plot device where a couple of main characters just have long chats / therapy sessions which serves to explain the story which have been panned by some as being a cheat, but i quite enjoyed them.
Finished billions and walking dead latest seasons. Billions; great.
Walking dead; why am i still watching this? Shambolic. Boring. Awful.
Anyway; Penny Dreadful? Anybody? Is that good?

I thought it was quite good. Worth a watch yeah.
I am scouring the web for something to watch now that suits my taste. Seems like I have watched everything there is and read the whole internet being unemployed for a while. Tomorrow the Duch movie "The forgotten Battle" premieres on Netflix though. I think that might be a good war movie to watch.
Magnum P.I. 
Is it really any good? My mind needs a bit darker stuff normally but maybe will check it out one day
I just now found that I have not seen the two latest seasons of American Horror Story. Anyone know if season 9 and 10 is any good?

the reviews are good so maybe its just me
but yeah I found the acting pretty clunky, the characters one-dimensional and the plot-devices were all a bit stale
It was ok. I watched a season or two of it. If you like Eva Green, it's worth a watch.
I love Penny Dreadful but they had some issues with the writers and the last season was rushed. It's still worth the watch regardless.
Eva is cute but that Josh. It's the eyes.It was ok. I watched a season or two of it. If you like Eva Green, it's worth a watch.
I was a bit underwhelmed by Squid Game, tbh. So I thought I'd jump straight into something completely different. I've only binged up to season 3 of Castlevania so far but, my god, this is a good show. Everything from the storyline, voice acting, art style, fight scenes to the atmosphere is fantastic. They're not afraid of a little swearing, violence or nudity either.
It's only 32 episodes too, so should be easily watchable. And despite never playing the video games myself I don't think the writers are expecting me to be familiar with any of that.
Having peeked ahead at the IMDB ratings for the final season, I can see that it finishes a high point. There's nothing worse than a story that lacks a good ending. Looking forward to getting to that point.

I had no idea he was still acting when I started that show. He'd been MIA since like Pearl Harbor.
I saw him last in 30 Days of Night which made him seem like a perfect fit for Penny Dreadful.
Great show, and I'm overdue a rewatch so thanks for that.
'You' season 3 drops on nettieflix today.
I highy recommend not watching the S3 trailer on Youtube as it was more of a season summary than a fecking trailer.

Pure trash tv but I do enjoy it anyway.
I went straight to last season with Natalie Dormer. And it looks good.It was ok. I watched a season or two of it. If you like Eva Green, it's worth a watch.
So as she
.like @Scarlett Dracarys said; it is the eyes.For anyone who isn’t fed up of Korean films/TvProgrammes yet, Netflix dropped My Name today and I’ve watched up to episode 4 and so far it’s been excellent. Kinda got a Departed storyline.
Gangster daughter joins the Korean Narcotics team to unearth her fathers murderer whilst also helping the firm. Would highly recommend it off of what I’ve seen so far.
EDIT: finished this now and it’s brilliant. Well worth a watch.

The Chestnut Man (Danish: Kastanjemanden) has gotten a lot of attention in Denmark, so thought I would check it out. Ended up binge-watching the entire thing yesterday evening, and found it to be quite good. It is a relatively standard murder-mystery thriller series made by the same guy behind The Killing, which became very popular a number of years ago.
While it is perhaps somewhat formulaic and relies on some classic crime drama tropes (two partners budding heads at first, main character being a great detective but struggles personally, etc.), it makes up for it in execution. The plot, acting and overall atmosphere is all pretty good, and I also found the cinematography to be excellent. It is also well-paced, and at 6 episodes of an hour each it is not a big commitment.
Solid 7/10. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys a crime series (and doesn't mind it not being in English).

Finished it over the weekend. It was really very good. Right up there with any of the other shows I've binge watched since the start of covid.
Seasons 1 and 2 together are some of the best TV I've seen in years. 3 and 4 are great as well, but a slight dip.
What a pile of shit Money Heist devolved into. Awful.
Only watched 1 episode but looks good
That happened in episode 2. Or probably during episode 1 at some point.
Sounds about right, part 4 it went downhill for me, not even sure I want to finish this latest part.
It was shit from the start.
Is it really any good?

I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I only remember some of the later ones from when I was young so it's been interesting to watch the series from the beginning.
Mandalorian - The last show I've watched, think it was last year.
I highly recommend especially if you're a Star Wars fan!

Finished 'The Night Of' and thought it was a good mini series. Not particularly ground breaking, but well done and I enjoyed John Turturro's character. Only eight episodes so worth a watch if you're looking for a quick fix of crime and drama.
Farscape
BBCs Vigil is good for what it is. I like the band of usual English TV stars.
I am soooooo late to the party, but Top Boy is close to perfect. A couple of storyline’s jammed together too haphazardly but it’s Fcuking brilliant.
No point in judging it against the best multiple season works, but Anyone that rated ‘The Night Of’ and hasn’t checked out Top Boy needs to try harder.
