The TV Thread

Probably been discussed on here before, but finally become aware of "Damned".

I love it. Caught up with the first season over a couple of nights last week and enjoyed the first episode of the 2nd, although they did make some of the comedy a touch sillier I thought.

Great cast and some silliness along with subtle humour. Great stuff.

Brooklyn 99.

Finally watching series 4. After a misstep first episode or two it's up there with the earlier series.

Last night's 24 Hours in Police Custody was quite something. If you haven't read about it, try to avoid anything about it before watching. To be honest even if you have it's very much worth a watch. A well made documentary

John Cleese's new programme 'Hold the Sunset' is the least funny comedy I have seen in years, the BBC should be ashamed.

I have no idea what the Star Trek stuff above is about as I've never watched it, but the spoof version The Orville is quite funny.

Yep. Enjoyed it too. I like most Seth MacFarlane stuff, he is a self confessed fan of Star Trek so when this came along I was keen to see it. Probably enjoyed this more than Discovery

Hes got a knack with parodies. The Family Guy ones of Star Wars were spot on

An old favourite returns. I only came across the old episodes by chance when on YouTube, I think most of them are still available to view.

Amazon finally released the second half of their serialisation of The Tick on Friday. It has been a wait, but it was worth it.

A serial killer, nicknamed 'La Mante' decides to collaborate with the police when a string of murders that copycat her style suddenly appear.

 

Finished watching this at the weekend on Netflix.

Comes highly recommended from me. Very strong finish. Subtitles.

[Derwent]

Save Me, written by the people behind Line of Duty, looks like it might be good.

[Liverpool Rover]

Tonight is the return of the Walking Dead and hopefully the Negan story will be finished with as it dragging on now. There is also the new Ash vs Evil Dead returning on Virgin Media.

Excellent news, looking forward to it very much.

I'm enjoying David Chang's new show, Ugly Delicious.

The 'Wigan Kebab' has just made an appearance in Back in Time for Tea, and social media is alternately reeling and drooling.

Collateral on BBC2 is very good.

[Liverpool Rover]

On BBC 2 at 9pm tonight is the start of the new American Crime Story, this one being about the murder of Gianni Versace. I thought that the last one about OJ Simpson was good so I be watching this one.

[Wiltshire Rhino]

Someone mentioned this before, but at the time they didn't know the broadcast date. Really looking forward to this!

I think I picked it up from Jiffy's Twitter feed a few days ago.
