What TV are you watching??

Has anybody else been watching True Detective Night Country... I've tried but what an angry plodding steaming mess with characters you have absolutely no engagement or empathy with apart from the young policeman Pryor.
Starts off in a similar vein to the film "The Thing" but promptly stifles any explosive action or suspense and goes off the rails by endlessly focussing on the mental health problems suffered by the local poorly integrated native locals who may or may not be going mad.
At this point I've bailed and glad I didn't pay to stream this rubbish, in other news though:-
Monsieur Spade... great
Death and Other Details... meh at times with distracting rumpy pumpy.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians... I know, kids/family entertainment and I'm an old git but great stuff!
Masters of the Air... 'kin brilliant... makes every generation since look pretty lightweight.
The Irrational... back on after screen writers strike.
Artful Dodger... this was just after Christmas but proper family entertainment with decent comedic timing and a breakneck plot at times!

I am watching : Forst ( not Frost ) bit strange but ok.
Reacher
Oak Island ( watched for many years can’t stop now )
Seal Team - getting fed up with it. To much personal stuff and not enough killing the baddies
And Trigger Point which was good

Forgot about Reacher, good call, as for baddies getting their comeuppance I think re-runs of "Justified" plus last year's return of the series with "Justified: City Primeval" where the baddies get away with it only for a while.
Nothing will ever beat the first series of True DetectiveHas anybody else been watching True Detective Night Country... I've tried but what an angry plodding steaming mess with characters you have absolutely no engagement or empathy with apart from the young policeman Pryor.

I enjoyed the both of them.
The Gentlemen. What an amazing cast.
Theo James would make a great Bond.
The Gentlemen here too. It's Guy Richie. It is what it is.
Constellation. Now this has grabbed me. Spooky Space Story about alternate dimensions.
The Regime. Kate Winslet looks well hot and is hilarious cast as a neurotic dictator. A real suprise. Absolutely loving it and especially her.
Dick Turpin. Don't. Just don't.

Will Trent season 2
Halo season 2
Got to start The Gentlemen still but did like the film.
Then I'll be honest I've been plundering BBC iPlayer for Hidden Assets season 2, Walter Presents on 4OD/All4 for various Euro and Scandi noir plus looking for stuff produced by Acorn for some comfort viewing.
To that end there's a second season of Mme Volpe coming soon along with season three of Whitstable Pearl and season three Dalgleish... do like a bit of cosy murder and mayhem.

Currently watching Shogun and Manhunt (Abraham Lincoln assassination).
Just finished masters of the air, the gentleman.
About to start 3 body problem.
Can't wait for Fallout, looks epic. I'm a massive Walton Goggins fan, loved Justified and the new Series.
The Brothers Sun was pretty good too.
Absolute must watches:
The last of us
Andor
Slow horses
Ted Lasso
For all Mankind
The bear
I gave Dick turpin about 5 minutes and turned it off, utter shite.

Spotted Walton Goggins a few weeks back when we were watching the original Bourne Identity film, he was one of the rotten apples trying to finish off Matt Damon.
Have to say he had less hair back in the 90s and that became a bit of a search in the various seasons of Justified to see how the transplant was going, great to see him escape from the prison van at the end of City Primeval and more potential Boyd action.
Dewey Crowe popped up, doing an English accent this time in The Artful Dodger and quite an unpleasant character compared to his Justified character.

Beef was amazing.
I can remember when Netflix was a DVD rental service (by post). They’ve come a long way.
I wish they would bring back Sense8 for just one more season. It was one of the first series we watched on Netflix, took a while to get int, but we really loved it. It ended too abruptly for my liking.
With a lot of the streaming services their early days were pretty fragile, we were mildly put out when The Expanse faltered at three seasons but apparently Mr Bezos liked that show too so we got a bit more.
I don't know how much longer conventional free to air TV will survive as the joy of no adverts and a 90 minute film not lasting over two hours mean you can watch more than just the head exploding blockbuster for the evening if you wanted.

Have you mixed this up with the 'what are you eating' thread?
Anyone else watching/thinking "Chips" or "Mash"?
