Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Yeah, that's a good summary of it. Dipped a lot from that great first episode but still a good watch.
Looks interesting, will add it to the list.
Blue Lights is a bit cheesy but let's see if it gets better. The writers just can't write a scene without a witty line or a cringe criminal character.
Mr Inbetween on Disney plus is great. Watched fifteen episodes in a day

There are only 26 in total so don't binge too fast.
Is Silo any good?
I cannot recommend The Idol as it is just bad in many ways but I also could not stop watching it and will finish the first season.
Giving the new Quantum Leap a go decent start.
I thought is was a remake of the original, its a sequel set 30years after.

Nah.
Visually, it’s impressive. I’m struggling to get through the third episode though.
Poker Face is very good.
Wasn’t sure to start. Maybe next on my list now!
I'm watching this. It's ok. Get's a bit samey after a while so probably not best to binge watch it.
I started watching this last week and I'm on the last episode of season 3 already. SFX are a bit ropey and it's guilty of all the cheesy Ronald D Moore tropes, but compelling stuff and incredibly stressful to watch.
It's a quality show but I can't get over the fact that with the big time jumps the main characters are supposed to be in their 70's now but they still look around 40 I mean feck sake, Ed fought in the Korean war
.Thanks. I will trudge onwards.
Certainly helps having to look at Rebecca Ferguson as the lead.

Yeah it's a mixed bag on the ageing, I think Margo is done quite well, but none of them look like they're in their early seventies and the amount their offspring play starring roles is daft too. Putting a pin in that, it's very good. As I say, I've an hour to go before I'm up to speed, but I'm assuming there's another time jump to season four.... time to up the make-up budget or start casting new roles!
For me, I finished it simply because I felt an obligation to see how it played out, but it got repetitively annoying and I literally could predict how every episode would pan out and it was a case of just seeing how they going to do it.
Really feel like they missed a trick with it, it could have been good, but it's like a 5 or 6/10. Decent to watch if you really don't have much else to watch.
I'm 6 episodes in and I've really enjoyed it. But I've stopped until the last 4 drops. I get the feeling there will be a lot of questions that will be left unanswered by the time season 1 ends, which will be really frustrating if it's the case, because what I'm enjoying about it, is seeing how it's unfolding.
Saw Arnold, the documentary. Was nice. He still has the stuff!
Finished, great show. Really enjoyed it. Amazed I'd never heard of it before ! Yer man is a great actor, perfectly cast. His smile looks so unhinged

RUN
Quantum Leap 2022, Finished season 1 and I really enjoyed it, has a more serious feel than the original and with a sub plot running thought, the original never had that. most of the eps were good or very good,, last couple of eps were excellent. If you liked the original, you will like this. 7/10 score but with the last ep getting 10/10.
Finished first series of From. It's good, loads of questions but not many answers. It won't win ought for originality...however it keeps you entertained. No creepy monster sex yet though. Season 2 perhaps?
Cannot recommend:
• Blue Lights. Terrible characters and writing, just cringe worthy scene after scene.
• Perry Mason s2. I thought season 1 was decent and then read good reviews on here about the second one but it was really disjointed and predictable.

I thought Blue Lights was decent enough, I agree wth your comments for some, but a decent story line I though.
Perry Mason, original is brilliant, seemed too live off tinned Chili, I did not know there was a reboot .
Just finished Mr Inbetween - top notch show and great lead cast. Thanks for the recommendations on here.
@Wibble should be getting residual cheques at this point.
Please tell me From won't carry on for 5 seasons whilst evolving into a soap opera. I'm on season 2. It's been renewed for another season.
Fecking hell, not sure what nerve was just tweaked but episode 7, series 1 of Derek has just reduced me to tears that are totally unparalleled for a Saturday morning
I really tried to like Blue Lights, the premises were promising but had to stop at episode 4 or 5.
Poker Face first few eps were good, but it fell off a cliff and I gave up after E4. Samey and predictable. Poor.
Definitely going to give Mr Inbetween a go though.
I can’t recommend Dead To Me enough. Stellar performances from Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini.

I couldn't finish the last season of Dead to Me because Christina's health issues are so apparent in her appearance etc. I know they kind of wrote it into the script in a way but i have a hard time seeing someone as previously vibrant like her just whittle almost before my very eyes.
Hijack has started well on Apple TV+.
Thanks for the reminder!
Let us know what you think.
North Shore is not at all great. John Bradley is as good as ever and some of the rest of the cast aren't bad considering the terrible material they are often given to work with but in the end the clunky plot and script make this annoying to watch much of the time. The actual "twist" and associated actions and motivations of most concerned that are revealed in the last 2 episodes are ludicrous. A real shame as it could have been very good.
