Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Is house of cards worth persisting with? Watched the first episode and I'm really not drawn but I felt similar with Homeland at the same point and ended up loving it.
 
We Own This City is good. Bernthal is an odd actor though. He ranges from great to shite in a lot of things I've seen him in.

No, it falls apart.

The last season is a massive shitshow after Spacey was understandably sacked.

Severence is a good watch. Loads of questions but not many answers though.

Surprised this isn't getting more love. That first season was genuinely one of the best things I've ever seen. They just absolutely nailed it. Fantastic theme song, too.
 
Watching That Dirty Black Bag now. It's slow but good. Has a bit of a Tarantino vibe to it.
 


New show on Hulu - The Bear. This looks pretty good to me, has had some good reviews and has one of the main characters from Shameless in the lead here.
 
Yellowstone - really enjoying it

I love Yellowstone and I believe 1883 is just as brilliant, even more highly rated as things stands, than Yellowstone, but March 13 is the date for me, that's when all 12 episodes are finally out then will start watching. 10 are current out with the latest one dropping yesterday.

While I don't think you will be disappointed, I'm still unsure how good it will be, but from the little I've seen (not too much), it looks great.

finally started watching 1883. On episode 5 now and this is really good. Brilliant television actually.
 
Watched the first episode of Tokyo Vice. It’s quite… different, but I’m not all in yet, will try another episode or two.
 
harshad said:
Yeah. Watched It without having seen a single episode of Yellowstone and it worked independently too. Wonderful visuals and a tight knit story told brilliantly.

Yeah, I'm a big Yellowstone watcher but this worked independently as well. As you mentioned, it's really great television with great performances all around.

Yes, up until towards the end. I don’t remember when…the season right before or after Spacey was canned maybe.

It is one of the best shows going, if you’re into that sort of thing.
 
@harshad @SirAnderson
Finished 1883 over the weekend. I really enjoyed it. I don't think they quite nailed the latter part of the show - it wasn't quite as gripping as the strong start (they focused a little too much on the daughter and her escapades, I thought) but still well worth it and an excellent show overall.
 
Started American Crime Story - Impeachment today. Sarah Paulson’s portrayal of Linda Tripp is stellar.

Agreed on the latter part of the show. It was kind of just waiting to see how the inevitable unfolded. But yeah, it got a bit crazy keeping up with all her adventures. Kinda gave me westworld vibes at times.

I smashed through this and loved it.

Yup, I finished this over the last 3 days as well and I was left wanting more. I'm not aware of how accurate a depiction of a kitchen the show is but the acting is really good and its a very easy watch. Carmen, the lead, is a lot better than he was in Shameless.
 
Good to hear The Bear is well received. The snippets of kitchen scenes I saw on the previews were evocative of real life.

Anyone seen Baghdad Central? It just popped up in my Hulu recs.
 
Started Banshee. On to the second season. Dumb but watchable fun.

The main character's face should be a jigsaw of scars but every episode he heals up.

Proctor is a good character.

Ana/Carrie is a pain in the fecking hole. I really hope her family just tells her to piss off.

Finished season one of only murders in the building

Rather enjoyed it, but disappointed that the series ended like that, I knew there was a second season but was hoping it’d be a brand new storyline, though I haven’t watched it yet so maybe it’ll continue to be good. I have a soft spot for crime movies that are a bit camp, like Clue or Knives Out and found this to be as fun to watch. Not convinced by Selena Gomez as an actress though.

I enjoyed it and was looking forward to season 2 which started off great then I saw a certain female enter and now no longer watch it
 
Three episodes into Black Bird and I'm definitely liking it so far. Yet another serial killer show but it's different from whst you usually get.
 

Gotta say “The Old Man” and “The Condor” are shows under the radar that are probably the best written shows about spies since Homelands first few seasons.

I love Michael Mann (I know he's just a producer, but still), but Tokyo Vice just didn't appeal to me. Can't even remember if I watched all the episodes. Well made, but that's it.

Anyone rating the new resident evil show?

There is a thread for it.

I dont think it is as bad as everyone is saying, but still not great. The Lance Reddick timeline is pretty good. The other timeline is awful. Its like two different shows directed by different people.

My enjoyment of the old man started really high but as the season progressed I found it to be steadily decreasing as the plot became less and less believable and the dialogue has almost completely fallen off a cliff. Well made show though which was set up well at least.

Have you tried the Condor? I don’t know if you remember the original movie from the 70s starring Robert Redford. But it was one of the the three paranoid spy films from that era( Marathon Man, Three Days of the Condor, and Parralex View”. Worth digging into.

Three Days of the Condor is one of my favorite films. Condor is a pretty good extension of it.
 
Watched a docufilm about Anthony Bourdain on Netflix last week so have been revisiting his Parts Unknown show on Amazon. If you’ve never watched this it’s still a really good watch.

AB makes me feel really sad mind you but still a very watchable show / guy.

Yeah, the human side of the host is what made the shows so great.

The documentary on Netflix is good. Roadrunner it’s called. Nothing new for fans of Bourdain but a good watch nonetheless.

I have also seen that, well worth watching.
Some of the food he tried was , lets say a bit strange at time.
He liked a drink and a smoke and at time other stuff.
He never sugar coated it, he told you has it was, if he was rough you knew he was rough.
 
My gf was begging me to watch F1: Drive to Survive but having no interest in the sport, I was a bit hesistant. But holy feck if this isnt great TV. I feel hooked on the sport! The drama, the rivalries, the driver backstories, their teams stories, the absolute majesty of an F1 car and the skills of the drivers. Its so fecking good.

Guess Ill be watching the GP on Sunday!

But anyways. F1: Drive to Survive. Its awesome regardless of your interest in the racing.
