Calling it right now. Chernobyl will be the best TV series this year

Probably wouldn't limit it to just this year. Its been the best (non comedy) TV series for a long, long time.

Hopefully it concludes as well as it has begun and thats the end, so they don't ruin it by trying to elongate it with prequels or sequels just because it has enjoyed huge success.

I'd say the writers, director(s) and leading actors will be ok for work in the near future.

I’m half way through series 2 of Peaky Blinders and don’t get the fuss. It’s alright but well overrated in my opinion.

I thought series 1 was great. Got half way through series 2 and haven't watched another episode since and that was December. Same with Breaking Bad. They bore me after a while. The only one I have stuck with is Line of Duty and that was disappointing this time round compared with previous series.

Wife on the other hand is a TV addict and will watch a full box set in a couple of days if she is off. She has around 10 programmes that she watches. Mostly American. I find them all tedious too.

Finally giving Entourage a watch just 15 years after it premiered. Going to be making my way through these unwatched HBO series now that Thrones is over

Watched first two eps of Chernobyl. I can't really get into the using English speaking actors but addressing them with their "USSR" names, Keeps putting me off.

First thing my mate said when we watched the first episode, “speak bloody good English these Russians and Ukrainians”.

Everyone likes different things, I love it, best British tv for a long time in my opinion

Fair play. I just don’t really care about any of the characters so there’s no peril for me.

Now the first two series of Narcos - I was truly addicted. I was off work after an operation. Every time the missus left the room, I’d see the chance to squeeze an episode in.

Watched Chernobyl 1- 4 and absolutely riveting , best true drama i've seen in a long time .. The Looming Tower very good as well , watched it when it was on Netflix , also an excellent drama about the run up and story behind the months preceeding 9-11

Series one is ok, stick with it cos after that is one of the best series ever, hugely overlooked over here for how good it is.

I think it would detract from it, if British actors were putting on awful Russian/Ukrainian accents. There's an argument it should have been Ukrainian/Russian actors speaking Russian and have English subtitles, but it wouldn't have been as popular a show, and it wouldn't have been given as big a budget.

I think they've done the right thing personally.

Gets worse as it goes on, too, in my opinion. Cillian Murphy's voice gets right on my tits.

no issue for me either. Imo though it is watered down, how much from pressure I don't now. Still cracking though.

As do all brummie accents.

Did Dead to Me (Netflix) on Saturday. Not bad at all a solid 7/10

 

[Met Line Hammer]

Sone random told me to watch Outlander. I looked at the synopsis and thought what a load of shit

I did all four series in 6 days. Wtf?

 

[NorCalBlue]

Just watched the new 'Catch-22' series (on Hulu over here in the States). Critics who love the book don't seem as impressed, but having not read it, I thought the series was excellent.

 

[willipp]

Just finished After Life. Wow just about every emotion going with it. Absolutely brilliant and leaves you in that thought provoking frame of mind. Brilliant from Gervais.

The film shit me up as a kid but the TV series looks good
