Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Blasted through almost all of Brassic in a week. It's fecking brilliant. Tommo is one of the funniest characters I've watched in a TV show.

Avante!
 
The Diplomat - first episode was quite fun in an endearing way. I’ve always been a fan of Keri Russell, she seems cast extremely well.
 
Slow Horses is brilliant. Second series was mint. More than the first one. And Oldman is such a great actor.
 
I'm watching season one of Welcome To Wrexham and whilst I'm enjoying the behind the scenes look at reviving a club, a decent chunk of their fans they have as regulars throughout the first 10 episodes seem like absolute cretins.

I know football attracts the lowest common denominator but my word some these arseholes just come across as awful people.

Particularly cant stand Shaun and Jonny.
 
I've quite enjoyed the first episodes of The Last Thing He Told Me on Apple TV+.
 
Anyone getting through Poker Face ? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14269590/reference/ Natasha Lyonne has the ability to tell when someone is lying with 100% accuracy. She lives in Las Vegas and
her skill at truth detection got her in trouble with a casino owner, and now the owner's son wants to use her in a plot
etc.

I thought the first episode was good, Adrien Brody and Ben Bratt were good co-stars, but as of episode 2 it becomes clear it's set up to be basically like the old The Incredible Hulk (or the A-Team) where the main character just drifts from town to town sorting out local problems. Episode 1 was good. Episode 2 made me wonder if somehow autoplay had switched what series I was trying to watch. Episode 2 has 3 new characters in it and Natasha doesn't even appear for about the first 30 minutes. These new characters do not have the screen presence of Adrien Brody, to say the least. Like a gambler, I feel like my investment is currently "down" and thinking watching more would be continuing a cold streak.

I though the same thing and gave up. It’s a good premise but I just thought she’s was too annoying to continue.
 
Season 2 of 'From' just started. First season was great, a combination of the mystery of 'Lost' and the suspense of 'Midnight Mass'.

Oh completely. “Can you play this part like you’re drunk, have to take a massive shit, didn’t sleep last night, and you’re trying to channel Columbo?” She’s the same character in Russian Doll. Her costar in that one made it watchable. This, nope.

Started Andor last night and did 8 eps.
The first couple were a bit heavy going but the rest is excellent, second to the Mandalorian in best spin off I think.

I thought it was better.
Might watch it again, maybe im overselling it but thought it was amongst the best star wars related stuff ever basically. Up there with Empire and Rogue One. Just a really good show. I was in 9/10 territory when it finished.

I have to admit it was a close call and with not seeing season 3 of Mando.
8.5 Andor and 9 for Mandalorian ( without season 3 )
 
We binged Beef over the weekend, I thought it was very good in places and I didn't ever really see where it was going which made me want to watch the next episode the whole time, the dialogue and acting in it were great, really solid show one of the best I've watched this year.

I might stretch to a 9 for the first season but think 2nd season was an unremarkable 8 maybe dipping to 7. 3rd season is quite weak, its not terrible but i'd go in with low expectations.

Watched the last 4 eps last night and agree with you, the last few eps, elevated it to above Mando.
The Madolorian 8.5/10 Andor even with the first 2 eps a bit heavy going, 9.5/10

Yeah, the last few episodes elevate it to something special.

We started Blue Lights on iPlayer yesterday, 2 episodes in and it' is great so far. Properly gripping and tense, especially as pretty much everybody aware of Northern Ireland troubles but maybe not so much modern day situations and attitude towards police.

I wasn't sure how realistic it was in term of certain areas being no go for officers but I'm not from Northern Ireland. The show was great nonetheless
 
Also, Mr robot is an incredible and very underrated TV show
 
Finally found Mr. Inbetween on Hulu & cannot put it down. Blew through the first season (sucks that there were only six episodes) & am diving headlong into the second. Thankfully the second & third seasons are both much longer.
