Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

Shout out to whoever recommended Deaths Game on here.

2 episodes in and its been hell of a ride.

Regarding True Detective; Me and my wife really enjoyed S1 S3 S4. I personally rate them:

S1 9.5/10
S3 8/10
S4 7/10
Does it have subtitles? I don't watch anything with subtitles.
 
Palm Royale.
A new show from Kristen Wig set in the late 1960s in Palm Beach, Florida featuring the high society scene there.

My wife suggested we try this out but I gave up after about 30 mins into the first episode as it’s a show that women might get into much more than men.
 
Really loving For All Mankind. Halfway through season 2.

It's a bit daft. It's almost like season 1 has 3 or 4 mini-seasons. Like they had a few ideas for what the over-arching plot could be but couldn't commit to one so decided to do them all :lol: If you can embrace the silliness of it though, its great.

Also, and maybe I'm just in a weird place personally, but lots of moments in season 2 are getting me pretty choked up. Think there's huge potential for this season.
There's a thread dedicated to the show - spoiler alert, it goes downhill pretty brutally.
 
Just finished Death's Game.

Utterly brilliant. One of the best shows I've ever seen.

Heart wrenching and so clever. Trying not to give away any spoilers it's so well done.
Just watch it with subs don't try and get a dubbed version.

In fact just watch it.

I was actually welling up during the finale.


Not for the faint hearted but the gritty action serves as a foil to the underlying message.


Watched it on Amazon Prime. If you do watch it don't give up early it just gets better and better.

Finished it, very enjoyable in the main. Find that Korean shows tend to do a lot of sincere emotional drama which can comes across as overwrought to people used to how emotionally cynical much of western TV is, and also tend towards tropey characterization but they are often super fun as well.
 
Finished Invincible Season 2 and Silo last week. Both decent.

Gonna finish Constellation tonight. Started slowly but really got good in the last couple of episodes.

Would recommend all of them.
 
Just finished a couple of series over the last 2 months.

Beckham (Netflix) - Really enjoyed this short docu series. I was a little too young to really remember the hatred he got from all fans & media after his Simeone red card incident at France 98 but what a guy he truly is. To show so much mental strength and determination to still keep playing at the highest level and also carve out the career he had at the top speaks volumes of the guy. Many players would have crumbled under that amount of pressure and hatred from all angles.

Loki (Disney+) - Really enjoyed season 1 but season 2 just wasn’t anywhere near as good as 1.

What If (Disney+) - Enjoyed majority of the series one episodes but the ones in series 2 were nothing great bar a small few.

Echo (Disney+) - This is probably the best series Marvel have released. A good engaging story with episodes at a good length. Intrigued to see if they will do a season 2.

Sunderland till I die (Netflix) - First two seasons were very good and engaging. The last season just felt very rushed & crammed.

Currently on the final season of Succession and going to start Shogun tonight.

I'm down to the last two episodes, found it slow at first but now I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Just finished season 4, hopefully it will get the full 7 seasons. I'd love to know where they get to by season 7.
 
Finished The Bear. A very good easy watch. That Christmas dinner party episode in season 2 was chaotic but really intense.

Unsure if we are going to get a 3rd season.

It’s releasing in June :)

Easily one of the best shows on tv
 
Would recommend Under the Banner of Heaven. Based on a true story. Andrew Garfield is brilliant in it.
I'd started this and got about 3-4 episodes in. Garfield was easily the best thing in it (helped by the fact I have a massive man crush on him) but the show felt like a pain to get through. I don't have an issue with slowly paced shows or films, but this didn't really work for me - hard to say why, nothing inherently wrong with it, just a little bit bland.
 
Follow up to one of my favourite ever documentaries ‘The Jinx’ starts today with episode 1 of Part 2

I cannot wait.

There used to be a brilliant thread on here for documentaries and I can’t seem to find it.

I think the storyline with the brothers gets all mixed up at the end. Its good it was only 7 episodes in. Garfield and the other detective, Gill Birmingham were great. I did end up researching the Latter Day Saints and the true story of the show afterwards.
 
The Steeltown Murders

Superb dramatisation of real events. Thoroughly recommended although not very uplifting. As you might expect from true life murder stuff.

We never got past the first episode.
 
Watching Death’s Game after someone recommended it on here.

Genuinely one of the best I've ever seen and it gets better and better.

The next episode is something else.
 
Slow Horses third season is very good. Had to be said some scenes are weirdly cringe, like they hired a different production team to do random scenes like the tiger team office scenes and facility shoot out.

:lol: yes on both of those.

I’m 5 episodes in, it’s very good, the girl from Parasite is very unconvincing as Death, though, but the other actors are all great.

Yeah I’ve been surprised at how good some of them have been. Especially the model in ep 4.
 
Only heard of Deaths Game from this thread, great recommendation.
I could see the ending coming a hundred miles off but even so, it's a brilliant watch.

Fallout I loved too. I get why some are a bit on the fence or think that it was just "decent" but it's right up my street; and I'll admit Walton is just my guy crush, I'll watch anything he's in, I'm positive he could make any show or movie 25% better just by appearing.
 
Assuming you've seen the film, is the story entirely similar? I weirdly re-watched it about a month ago and I'm worried that it's going to be repetitive.

I watched the film, but it was years ago, so i can vaguely remember what happened. The series is slow but its well made. It has way better cinematography than the three body problem.
