One of the GOATs! Be sure to savour the final stretch.Also, a massive thank you to the many posters who have recommended The Leftovers. I’ve seen several mentions of the show on here over the years and it never really pulled me in to watch it. Well, I saw two more recommendations on here in the last couple of weeks and decided to finally give it a shot…….well, shit. I should have done it ages ago.
All I can say is what a fecking amazing show this is. I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s fecking brilliant, and weird, and normal, and surprising, all at the same time. You genuinely never really know what’s coming. Some absolutely terrific performances, all the way through. It’s one of those shows that you just can’t look away from. There isn’t a moment that you want to skip through, or a storyline that you wish wasn’t there. It demands your undivided attention. And that is rare.
Seriously one of my favourite shows ever, and I am only a third of the way into season 3. Which is sadly the final season, but I suspect part of the reason this show is so good. So thank you to all those who recommended it, and anyone who skipped this…..go back and watch it. It’s amazing. I genuinely don’t know how I move on to another show after this. It’s going to require some TV downtime before I’m ready to take on something new. I tried to describe it to someone the other day, but had to stop because it was both impossible, and made me sound like an idiot. The storyline, and more importantly the message, is quite unorthodox to say the least, and to quite a large extent it is really what you want to make of it. Brilliant.
Tucking into True Detective Season 3 now. The wigs are next-level bad, but it’s good other than that. 2 episodes in.It just gets better you are in for some treat.
Same, except I stopped in the middle of season 1.What is it with all the The Leftovers hype? I stopped watching in season 2 because it got laughably cheesy but now I see so much praise for it I'm having doubts.
Does it completely morph into prime Lost at some point or what?
Incredible show. Terrible take.What is it with all the The Leftovers hype? I stopped watching in season 2 because it got laughably cheesy but now I see so much praise for it I'm having doubts.

I could do without the stereotypical family melodrama for both main characters but otherwise it’s very fun.The first episode of The Day of the Jackal was really good.
Must admit, I thought it was ok and as the seasons went on it got progressively worse and some of the actors/characters really started to irritate.What is it with all the The Leftovers hype?

It doesn’t.Been really enjoying binging Yellowstone over the last month or so, really really good show.
3 episodes into S5 and the primary storyline is really poor, with some utterly shite characters having been introduced.
Hope it recovers.
It doesn’t.
I haven’t watched them but by all accounts they are supposed to be, yeah.For shame.
Still, I’m intrigued by the prequels. Please tell me they’re good?
Great show. Beth and Rip are two of my favourite characters on TV in a while…. individually and (as the show progresses), together.Been really enjoying binging Yellowstone over the last month or so, really really good show.

I preferred 1883 personally (always been interested in that time period and the people who made that trip into the (relative) unknown)… 1923 was decent too i.m.o.For shame.

I thought Yellowstone was great but it really ran out of ideas by about the point you’re at and got shit. Costner won’t even be in the second half of the last season! Also I hate Beth so much.

I'm now just annoyed that the next 5 episodes are being released weekly.The first episode of The Day of the Jackal was really good.
Just finished season 1 - loved it! Would definitely recommend it!Has anyone watched Lioness on Paramount Plus? The first season is streaming on Prime for a couple more days.
Had low expectations going in, but turns out it’s really fecking good. Pretty hardcore. Critics give it mixed reviews, seems audiences loved it though
Well worth a watch to fill a gap in the viewing schedule. Season 2 just landed too.
Wait for season 2. It’s got everything of season one, plus Yaya Dacosta wearing tight ass dresses.Just finished the first season of Lincoln Lawyer and really enjoyed it.
That could be a show i watch in itselfWait for season 2. It’s got everything of season one, plus Yaya Dacosta wearing tight ass dresses.
This, 100%. I really don't understand why every show has to be ruined with plotlines absolutely no one cares about.I could do without the stereotypical family melodrama for both main characters but otherwise it’s very fun.
It means something to look forward to every week, I don't mind the format!I'm now just annoyed that the next 5 episodes are being released weekly.
The original film is a must watch. I watched the first episode and saw enough to carry on - will wait until it's all out though.Looking forward to starting the Day of the Jackal tonight. Never watched the film but I absolutely loved the book as a kid/teen.
True Detective Season 3 is miles better than Seasons 2 and 4. Finishing it now. Unless they face plant this last episode, that is.
Controversial!Nah. Season 2 > Season 3 >>>>>>> Season 4
Nearly finished The Diplomat (the US one). So far it’s been pretty good.Hard recommend on The Diplomat. Excellent series. Season 2 is as good or better than season 1. Shame it was only 6 episodes, but can’t wait for season 3. The Wylers were somewhat exposed/outmanoeuvred in large parts of this season, which was a nice juxtaposition to season 1.

Is this any good? The first season has completed now, so if it gets renewed (i.e we might get answers) I might add this to my watch list.Watched the first two episodes of a new one called Teacup. Horror mystery type of thing. Interesting premise: weird things start happening in the vicinity of a few farmhouses (power outage, animals acting strange, a little kid walks into the woods and comes back talking gibberish), then someone in a gasmask turns up, draws a line around the properties and holds up a sign saying "Don't cross the line".
Then even weirder shit happens.
I watched the first 4 episodes but haven't gone back to it yet. I was rewatching The Wire.Is this any good? The first season has completed now, so if it gets renewed (i.e we might get answers) I might add this to my watch list.
