What TV Series Are You Watching?

[Gunnersaurus]

Did anyone watch that resident evil series? I'd give it 6 and a half out of 10. Which considering how much I like zombie stuff is really low. It's been very unpopular with fans. Although part of that is probably because it is set in a different place to the game and has a black female lead role which means some people will automatically hate it. 

I would probably still watch another season if one is made but it's not great

It's the last episode of Neighbours tonight.

I did watch it when I was young. Some of the characters in it now were in it when I watched it which was before the turn of the century

I've caught a few of those Wheeler Dealer series where they buy popular older cars and aim to restore them making a profit.

I did a few things on an old Cortina back in the day before realising that was not my thing yet do enjoy seeing what they do to these cars to get them ship shaped and make some money.

Of course it help to a have a decent workshop with a car lifting contraption.

I love Wheeler Dealer used to watch it on Discovery/History not certain on which channel.

Currently on a channel called Quest.

I have been watching Prison Break. Never watched it back in the day. Not too bad so far, about 7 episodes in. Need to smash 5 seasons while I have disney plus for like the next 18 days. Wish me luck lol.

I did watch that resident evil series. I'd give it an kit 6 1/2 out of 10 which is quite a low score for a zombie programme as I live the zombie genre. Particularly when it is fast zombies. It's been cancelled though due to poor audience reception and low ratings which is annoying because it was left on a cliffhanger.

Just started watching better than us which is a russian programme based on the I Robot books. @nudge @CaaC (John) you might like it I think you two like that kind of thing

I considered giving it a go, but the concept was too similar to the two previous Swedish and British series that dealt with the same topics, so I decided against it. Any good?

I think its quite different to humans if that is what you are referring to and worth a watch. As I said it's based on the I robot book.

They are all based on Asimov works to a certain degree; at least when it comes to his Three Laws of Robotics. I haven't watched Humans, but it was a UK remake of the Swedish original series Real Humans (Äkta människor) which I loved... I might check out Better Than Us at some point, but the premise sounds too similar for my liking, even if the storyline is quite different. Thanks for recommendation though!

Finished watching Thai Cave Rescue, a Netflix mini-series about the Tham Luang cave rescue of 12 kids and their football coach 4 years ago. Written completely from a Thai perspective, I thought it was a great watch and a good portrayal of the actual rescue mission with some fictional characters and some other liberties taken for the sake of dramatisation. Binged all 6 hour-long episodes in two nights...

That confused me for a second. I thought the episodes are 6 hours long.

I would have still binged it all in two nights  

[Gunnersaurus]

@nudge you call 6 hours over 2 nights a  binge watch. You lightweight. I did squid game in one night. Ha ha 

[Gunnersaurus]

I'm half way through better than us. Started to drag a bit in the middle but still good

Yeah, it's a bit pathetic, I'm disgusted with myself. To put things into perspective though, I started watching at 5am on both occasions, and went to bed after 8am, so I think I deserve bonus points for that

The Russian series with the robots? That was a good series.

Watched Midnight Club because I enjoyed Flanagan's previous series, but this one was much less exciting than what he made before. Still well-made in places but some of the characters were annoying and the plot was convoluted and lacked focus.

Yeah really good. I'm still half way through it. I've often got to read a plot summary. Gets confusing lol

Started watching a boxset on Netflix called Glitch, I think it's pretty old but I'm four episodes in and there are three seasons. 

Decent so far.

Finished She Hulk as it had a cameo from my fav comic hero Daredevil. It wasn't a masterpiece but Jesus did people overreact how shit it was. It was funny and ok to watch noting more, i have watched far worse Marvel and DC projects.

Watched the first episode of Tulsa King yesterday. Created by Taylor Sheridan and starring Sylvester Stallone, who plays a New York mafia capo released from prison after 25 years and sent to Tulsa to set up his business there. Didn't have any expectations for it, but ended up really enjoying the first episode. Basically, a pulpy, brainless gangster dramedy.

Been watching 'Wednesday' on Netflix

Not too bad in all honesty.. Luis Guzman is the only one that seems oddly out of place playing Gomez Addams

Severance

It's so unique and intriguing. I totally love it.
