Just watched the first two episodes of ‘Winning Time,’ the HBO miniseries about the Showtime Los Angeles Lakers, the Magic / Kareem era. Pretty good so far.
Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Was wondering if it'd be mentioned here. I've been watching it over the past couple of weeks, and while I enjoy it, and feel it's very watchable, I feel it's lacking a bit of quality in the writing to make it a top notch show. Some of the stuff just happens too quickly, or without real logic, which is a bit of a shame. I also find Ronald's character to be a bit too cliché at times, playing on the "gangsta wants to get out of the game" trope with no originality whatsoever. But overall it's pretty good and very watchable.
I'm on the last episode.of S5 Better Call Saul. It's a brilliant series. Right at the top with the very best.
Watching Murderville on netflix. Actually pretty good.
Yeah I enjoyed it too. The Kumail episode was probably the highlight.
Conan eating the hot sauce was hilarious.
This Way Up on Channel 4 / 4oD is very good.
I'd say there's 3 good episodes, 2 meh ones and 1 terrible one. The Kumail is by far the best, his awkward walk with the weird sound made me laugh way more than I'd like to admit.
Reviews for the big-budget Halo TV adaptation appear to be predictably middling.
I've started Peacemaker. Just the first episode, suspect it'll take a few episodes to get immersed into it.
Just started watching that Bad Vegan..... Absolutely bonkers.
It’s great. I loved it right from the start but it gets even crazier as it goes along.
Started watching it -- I used to live in Kansas City and have been to places like Manhattan, Lawrence, Topeka etc. So I was curious.
Its an interesting premise. So far so good.
Started watching Pam & Tommy, on episode 3 now.
It should really be a 90 min Netflix movie, but it's decent fun, don't know how long it will be interesting to watch crazy Tommy and bimbo Pam though.

It's a Sin was excellent
Have you watched Doom Patrol? That's next on my list. I've seen The Tick and The Boyz... I suspect Peacemaker will hit the mark.
If you like the Boyz you should definitely get into Peacemaker. Doom Patrol is another great show as well. It's actually better than I thought it would be. Brendan Fraser is amazing in it.
Just came here to say this

its a decent watchable series.
Watching the second now, tbf Marshawn Lynch is funny anyway so this one is an easy win.
I’m looking forward to Kumail Nanjiani.
They are all pretty good except the annie murphy one. She wasnt great at the improv.
Don’t know her so no basis of expectation there.
Amy Poehler would have been good on this I think.
She plays the daughter in schitts creek.
Watching Hellbound on Netflix, another Korean show, and really it is quite good. Final episode was exceptional, elevated the series, a bit disappointed it was only 6 episodes at that point, Didn't think it would be Korean shows keeping Netflix going in 2022.
Watched Yellowstone recently and thought it was good.
Then found out about 1883. Finished it this past weekend and thought it was brilliant.

She was dreadful. Sharon Stone was a bit wooden and didn't seem to care much, and Ken Jeong clearly didn't take it seriously, which could've been hilarious with the right balance, but just made that episode weird. The 3 first ones are the best.
Overall a pretty decent series i felt.
I feel Annie Murphy's initial awkwardness made the episode hilarious. Arnett really played into that to good effect. I also felt Murphy did very well in the scene with the mob bosses
True of so much nowadays. 6 x 60 minutes is now disproportionately valuable to a streaming service as they keep you on their platform longer and keep you paying. Many series are just full of filler. If not the whole episodes then the pointless (cheap to film) scenes that add nothing. It’s insidious.
24 is probably my favourite series of all time, for me it doesn’t get old

It's a timeless show. I can get stuck into any season at any time and not get bored.
One of my favourite books I've read in the last couple of years. On Apple TV now.
I watched the first free episode and enjoyed it.
First five seasons were stellar, lost a bit of steam towards the end.24 is probably my favourite series of all time, for me it doesn’t get old
Last things I have watched:
-4th season of The Sinner was ok. Perhaps too much episodes for the plot.
-Snowpiercer: We love it at home. I think I appreciate it a little more being weekly episodes. It was not bad, although it seems that they are stretching the story quite a bit.
They left a pretty good cliffhanger for the fourth season.
-Viking Valhalla. I was about to give it up but in the end it was good
- Bridgerton, second season. I loved it. The love story, the manners, the gossips, all the trappings of social gatherings. Next year we are going to dress up for Carnival in that style.
-Invasion: It's incredibly slow but at the moment I like it.5 episodes so far.
Apart from Invasion, and Foundation, which I will also watch, would you recommend any other series on Apple tv?
