What TV are you watching?

Just finished series three of Foundation. Blimey! What an ending. The fourth series has been commissioned and according to Wikipedia, the creators want to do the entire Foundation & Empire saga over eight series... so I'm not even halfway through!

How to get to heaven from Belfast. Netflix.
Have watched the first 3 episodes and it's a strange beast. If you liked Derry Girls you'll probably enjoy it but it's a bit mis-shapen. There's 6 hours to fill and it falls into the streaming trap of being too long for it's story, yet the characters aren't especially well developed and are charicatures of stereotypes.
I'll stick with it, because I generally do.

Watched first episode of The Task. FBI series with Mark Ruffalo.

Very good. I'll be watching more.

Having taken the 'Firestick'* out of the TV in the basement lounge, & putting in another TV, SWMBO is now watching The Good Doctor


*I remember when that was the name of a CB antenna

Call the Midwife was excellent again.

Call the Midwife was excellent again.

I do enjoy Call the Midwife but wish there wasnt so much saccharine cheesy grinning! makes me think of Wallace and Grommit characters!

Betrayal was good tonight

 

[Electric_Andy]

We're watching "Lead Babies", based on true events. A bit like Erin Brockovich but the leading lady is not as fit as Julia Roberts.

Edit: It's actually called Lead Children

Betrayal was good tonight

And again tonight

Series 2 of The Night Manager.

Did not disappoint, I'd recommend if your not binging to watch the previous episode again before the next to catch up.

Betrayed

Another UK spy thriller that is good and I'd recommend alongside the night manager.

Really enjoyed The Night Manager. I haven’t been watching Betrayed but given the recommendations, I will binge watch it soon.

Small Prophets on BBC. I've watched the 6 episodes on iPlayer and very good. Quirky comedy by McKenzie Crook of Detctorists fame.

Also finished Betrayal, pretty average thriller to be honest. Shaun Evans of Endeavour fame stars. If a 2nd series made I doubt will bother. A million miles off quality of Night Manager.

Series 2 of The Night Manager.

Did not disappoint,

For NM completists, there's a good interview with Le Carré's son on Sounds (Radical with Amol Rajan series).

Not really a TV show but currently playing through some Charles Dowding/No Dig You Tube videos.

Small Prophets on BBC. I've watched the 6 episodes on iPlayer and very good. Quirky comedy by McKenzie Crook of Detctorists fame.

I'm three episodes in at the moment, certainly takes it's time building the story up and it looks like there's plenty more still to come.

Silent Witness was really good again.
