What are you watching?

Is it? I’ll be honest I don’t know anything about it, I’ve simply meant to watch because it pops up on here from time to time as a recommendation. I’ll Google it first!

The first 3 season are the most dark and harrowing things I've seen in a long time. I stopped watching after that a it started to get a bit silly. Every one should either read the book or watch the first 2 seasons though. Theres some interesting parallels with real life at the moment sadly
 
Bosch - Amazon Prime

Tried a couple of episodes when the first series came out and found it a bit slow but my Dad said that later seasons are better so I'm giving it another go.

Also, All or Nothing, a fly on the wall series about Arsenal football club! ⚽️
 
Just finished Umbrella academy which was equally as mad as the first couple of seasons (although can't see where they'd go with it from now in terms of any more) then watched Sandman which was brilliant & really hope it gets more seasons (suspect it will as seems to have done quite well). Contemplating watching Westworld although the last season disappointed me a bit (although my brother tells me current one is an improvement) & I can't actually remember who's supposed to be dead / alive/ disguised as someone else anymore!

Also in process of re-reading LOTOR at the moment which is obviously fairly slow going when I keep getting distracted.

Eagerly awaiting to see whether house of the dragon is any good when that starts
 
Just about to start watching season four of Stranger Things on Netflix. I'm actually quite surprised I like it. Science fiction is not usually my thing.

I recently watched the film Lion on Netflix which I can highly recommend.
 
Currently dreading coming to the end of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I've loved every moment, but fortunately they're making a second series for 2024, probably when Kang Tae-oh finishes his National service requirement.
Also currently enjoying A Model Family, another K drama about a professor who unwittingly gets drawn into a drug cartel. Anything with Jung Woo in it, is going to be good.

Anne with an E was a nice one too (on Netflix).

I really really enjoyed Anne with an E. A friend got into watching it (who hates TV) though he couldn't get passed the fact that it is actually Anne of Green Gables. I don't hold it against him....he isn't Canadian. Really brought me back to my childhood reading those books though!

Ha ha!! Likewise I always tell people how Ryan Gosling went to my high school!! The subsequent question is always "omg do you know him?" And sadly the answer is no....he's older than me and our high school days didn't overlap ?
 
Big little lies loved the first series just started the second.

Vikings just started the first season

Shitts creek is brilliant

Love Island USA has just started quite enjoying that

Shetland new series just started watching that.
 
The upside of a broken heart means I have been binge watching some rather lovely and gentle things. And a few thrillers, too.

Amazon Prime:

East of Everything - older, Aussie, but nevertheless quite fun
Signora Volpe - Emilia Fox playing detective, but in the beautiful surrounds of Umbria
Striking Out - loved this convoluted Irish in and out of the courtroom drama with so many opportunities for being struck off
The Chelsea Detective
Under the Vines - hoping for a new series because it was really good fun if a little formulaic
The Bald Hairdresser - a Swedish love film but I can't remember what the English title is. Again, Sicily and Lemons
Janet King - another Aussie job
The Lake - edgy, modern, silly, but entertaining.
 
I have pretty terrible TV & film taste ? Friends and I used to do a rubbish film Sunday once a month but I ended up liking them all!

Currently watching season two of 5 Bedrooms and just discovered Van Der Valk, although I can't watch any grizzly or gruesome death bits. Just finished Murder in Province (ditto not watching the bits with dead bodies in).

I have a tendency to fall asleep before finding ouwhwho done it if we start anything after about 9pm though so it sometimes takes a few evenings to watch a 2 hour show ??

My ASD really rears it’s head when it comes to my viewing habits. I’m currently rewatching, and have been for the last 12 or so months, old episodes of The Brittas Empire. I like to rewatch things over and over. And over. It’s the familiarity I like, I think. I will finish an episode and immediately put the same one back on. Prior to this run, I was rewatching the first two series of The Royle Family. I think I watched this for about 2 years in all and I’ll still put the odd episode on. I did last night, in fact.
Starting a new series is a rare event for me, though I did enjoy Stranger Things. It’s an investment that my brain just struggles to make so I’d rather live in a loop of nostalgia!

Late afternoon in Australia,have been"flipping"between Racing channels,our usual Saturday viewing{that's not true Racing is always on at our place}.A good day,two of ours raced today,a win and a third,champagne tonight.
 
Lupin series 1 was great but struggled with series 2 only because I tend to watch whilst doing other things so it’s hard to follow the subtitles and I didn’t like the dubbing!

Picked up This Is us on prime again after not being wowed by series 1 but have now nearly finished the series.

Started The Sandman which seems good.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix. It’s Korean so forces me to put my phone down and engage! Quite a sweet programme

I think we all have comfort viewing, I can not stop watching, Morse, Lewis or Midsummer Murders, I think it's because they remind me of being younger, and some of the cars we owned. When I find one I that I haven't seen for a long time, some they seem to repeat more than others, I am really excited.
What I do not understand is in the 1930's and 40's when the world was a bit of a mess, we had the golden age of Hollywood, where movies were somewhere where you went to escape, watch musicals, screwball comedy, and share with friends. Now we seem to have a diet of programmes of bad people, usually doing bad things to women, and we watch this as entertainment in our homes, which can not be healthy when people are stressed out enough. I just watched the Gray Man on Netflix, absolute rubbish, styled up.

I like the Handmade's Tale, but its getting too close to real life. If you watch, Keep it Sweet, Netflix, apart from the cloaks real life is too similar.
 
The West Wing is completely brilliant. Watched it many times

Julia (Apple TV) shouldn’t work but it’s excellent. Great cast too

Midnight Mass (Netflix) horror not really scary but v good

For All Mankind (Apple TV)

Lost in Space (Netflix)

The Morning Show (Apple TV)

Sherwood (BBC)

Kept me going thru lockdown and when I’m ironing!
 
If I find something I like, particularly comedy, I can get a bit obsessed with it. I'll watch 'Kath and Kim' happily on a loop, as well as 'Rev', 'What we do in the Shadows'.....I find them hilarious! I just watched 'Woodstock 99', not too much peace and love going on there, but I did enjoy it, and just finished 'The most hated man on the internet', .....uncomfortable viewing, made me really angry but very satisfying ending.

Watched a girl i know (from being on the yard her mum ran for 2 years) on First Dates.

Felt really weird seeing her on telly. She came across well, although she was a bit too honest lol. It was a shame it didn't work out.
