TV Series

Started watching house of Guinness last night,2 episodes in, anyone watching,does it get any better?

What you see is what you get……..

 

[Blue Maverick]

And it gets better and better.

Halfway through season 2 of Peacemaker and it's been pretty shit up to now. Don't think it's anything like as good as the first season

It goes get a bit better tying in with the new Superman film

 

[Pancake Arse]

Don't want to keep going back to a series that's now old, but just to emphasise, for anyone who's only watched it once and enjoyed it, that The Expanse really does need watching (at least) twice. The complexities of the (several) story lines sort themselves out in your head on second watching, and you can really start to appreciate it.

You need to read the books. The series is a waste of time compared to them

I'll be so angry if they kill eagly

Ok, I'll look into them. To be honest, I read very little science fiction. I find it not very well written, by and large. (I make a big exception for J.G. Ballard, although I'm not even sure if Ballard could properly be called a science fiction writer — but he's a hell of a writer, that I'm sure of).
But I will try one or two. By the way, I stand by my judgement. The series is very good, as series go.

Just finished Dark Winds season 1
Thought the first 3 episodes were great went a ott the last 3 . anyway is season 2/3 worth watching.ta

Christ, that must be really bad then, I only got part way through S01E01 and binned it off. I hated him in Suicide Squad and he's even worse in my eyes in that Peacemaker crap.

The Expanse TV series is excellent viewing but if you love it then the books are a must. For other Sci-Fi books series you can't go wrong with the marvellous and much lamented Iain M Banks Culture series or the original Dune series by Frank Herbert (not his sons prequels which are terrible).

Others I'd look at would be the Revelation Space series by Alastair Reynolds or the Altered Carbon (Takeshi Kovacs) series by Richard K. Morgan (damn shame they abandoned the TV series).

I have just downloaded the first series of Expanse it's next on my list after Project Blue Book has finished.

I should have phrased that better, apologies.
The series is very good but it ends before a lot of the really good stuff starts. That's why the books are a must

 

[Deepest Blue]

Blue lights series 3 absolutely brilliant tv.

Just watched S1 Ep1 and was ok.
Someone told me S2 wasn't great so paused it there.
If S3 is good I will persist after all.

Halfway through season 2 of Peacemaker and it's been pretty shit up to now. Don't think it's anything like as good as the first season

Two episodes left. Got to admit it's got better, quite enjoying it now.
The first 3/4 episodes were a bit of a slog but it's picked up. Looks like it's going to tie in with the new superman Man Of Tomorrow movie

I quite liked it. Preferred the first season still but I do think Cena is great as peacemaker still.

Watching Gen V second series at the mo, about half way through. That’s good so far, dealt with one of the actors who died in real life well.

 

[Franny 1234]

Started Dexter S1, can't believe I missed it when it came out.

Were on season 7 and enjoyed them all

 

[Stephen230]

Five years behind as usual, Sky pushing the final series of Brassic, has reminded me to finally get round to watching it. About four episodes into the first series. Bit Shamelessy but good harmless fun. And anything with Michelle Keegan in it has its appeal.

Just finished the American's for the second time , great television season 6 was brilliant.

Just binged it all over the last month or so was excellent. Certainly up there with the best.

I don't have all those fancy channels or any paid for streaming services on my TV, only got freeview crap, so I'm out of the loop on many shows, past and present. I use this thread and the film thread to to see what I've missed, but it's on my ever increasing watch list now, mainly due to your (and others) recommendation. The only thing stopping me at present is the number of series and my desire to watch things in their entirety in one sitting. I might give season 1 a go today.

Thanks.

Onto Series 3 of Tulsa King…….not sure why

Its dreadful

 

[BlueMoonAcrossThePond]

Lincoln Lawyer on Netflix is an enjoyable watch - 8/10.

 

[Franny 1234]

I might need a tin hat with this but
The wife had the 3 part series on Netflix Victoria Beckham and I was thinking I would hate it. To my surprise I didn't hate it in fact the 3 episodes flew by.
