Great to see Succession getting the recognition it deserves at the Golden Globes

Probably my favorite show at the moment. Can't wait for the next season, although it's all the way in August unfortunately.

Barry and Better Call Saul are both back in the next couple of months though, fantastic shows.

Just finished messiah, watched the whole lot in two days. Can see why some would call it slow, but I thought it was a great watch, IMDbs 8/10 is about right.

Watched The Witcher again and it's better on a second viewing.

Brilliant and for me better than GOT.

If you haven't played the games or read the books you'll be lost. If you want to start getting into it either start reading The Last Wish or play The Witcher 3

I was on the fence about watching the witcher, but after reading this I dont think I'll bother.

If you weren't gripped by breaking bad and peaky blinders you may as well give up

never seen any episodes of breaking bad and gave up on Peaky Blinders after series 1 episode 3.

I refuse to start anything that is already past two seasons for the same reason especially US shows which tend to have so many more episodes. I know I've missed some great shows (Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire, Game of Thrones etc) but life's too short to be spent catching up, something new will come along that's just as good that I'll watch from the start. Peaky Blinders was crap after S2 anyway.

This obsession with binge watching show after show is like trying to read every book in a library.

I haven’t seen any of those either.

Kinda feel sorry for you to be fair

 

[TheRemainsOfTheDave]

I haven’t seen any of those either.

Whenever someone says "You must watch this" I tend to be underwhelmed when I do. Watching or listening to someone rave about something I have no interest in is tedious, I can't get away quick enough.

Just watching messiah on Netflix not bad so far .

I enjoyed it too

To be fair, even though you don't know the lore itself, you kind of get into its world. It's not great world-building, but it's watchable and I would expect flashback to be told in the upcoming series.

There's one or two stunning swordplay fight scenes in it!

The first part of the BBC doc on Margaret Fleming was a good, if tough, watch last night.

 

[willipp]

Just finished 'Messiah' and really not sure what to make of it. At times i thought it was going to be fantastic, but in the end its left me feeling really flat. Just enough to keep you interested, but failing to deliver anything else. Still, id give series 2 a go if there is one, but pretty underwhelmed at the end.

Mandalorian finishes on a massive high, nicely set up for s2. Cannot wait, found myself more attached to a droid than any of the "characters" in the sequels.

Where can you watch this?

 

[super_city_si]

Enjoyed mandalorian.

 

[quiet_riot]

Where can you watch this?

Disney+, which is US only atm I believe. So nefarious sources required.

 

[Barcon]

Started watching Watchmen the other night strictly based on the reviews it got on here. Persevered with it until episode 4. Fell asleep half way through that and won't be going back to it.
Load of crap.

On another note, watched half (netflix crapped out) of episode one season one of Occupied and thought it looked promising.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Has anyone watched The Witcher series on Netflix?

Is it any good?

 

[blue aura]

Just started Occupied, a Norwegian drama on Netflix. So far so good. More than a strong whiff of the 'Bodyguard' about it.
