FTA-TV Which TV shows are you watching now.

[AFDogs]

I finally finished The Offer. Fantastic show about the making of The Godfather. 8.5/10.

Episode 1 of Kaos didn't draw me in. Might give it a pass.

 

[VainGlorious]

There is only one good Australian show worth watching these past 25 years

Mr Inbetween

Everything else is a bin fire

Hard to find an effective argument with that.

Agreed.

Although I rather enjoyed the first three seasons of Rake.

 

[Soups]

Agreed.

Colin From Accounts goes alright. Haven’t seen season 2 though.

 

[HirdyLannister]

Farscape brilliant Aussie TV

 

[Hoos]

Watched the first episode of Return to Paradise last night. Looks good, very similar to Death in Paradise.

For some reason, the main actor (forgotten his name) seems far better suited to this show set in an English seaside village, than to the Caribbean setting of Death In Paradise.

I meant the Aussie version. The one with Catherine McClements and Lloyd Griffith

 

[Borough Blood]

Just started The Americans. Why did I wait so long?

Oh. Sorry to hear that. I didn't even know there was an Australian version.

Yeah it just started this week.

I'm the opposite with Kaos, looking forward to the rest of it

 

[phantom13]

Yeah, I had the same experience and avoided it for a couple of years. But it's an amazing show. Beautifully produced and the script is just sensational, perfectly performed.

I honestly reckon Maisel is one of the most criminally underratted shows of the last 20 years, its brilliant and so many people havent seen it

I avoided it for ages cos I had in my head it was like a mystery show??? No idea where I got that from

yeah I mentioned that too on the previous page. I got the vague impression it was another period thing like Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries or something. Had no notion it was about stand up. Maybe it was the covert double life thing, which in female shows often means a secret agent you wouldn't expect. Personally I've never had Amazon Prime so I guess those kinds of shows are a bit out of sight for me. Maybe hour shows like OITNB & Maisel get overlooked later in their run as well. There was definitely a lot more buzz about Fleabag at the time. I'm Dying Up Here was another overlooked period stand up show at the same time as Maisel which never really got its proper due.

Just about finished with S2 (the one where they go to Paris, the Catskills, out on tour, etc.). The telethon performance, that hilarious scene at Bell Labs with son Noah, Susie's whole plunger living off the land resort bit and friending the abducting heavies. Abe is starting to really steal the show as well, and Jane Lynch kills her guest bits. Brosnahan was also apparently the niece of Kate Spade and must've been filming some of this when she passed.

It reminds me of stuff like Michael Chabon and Jeffrey Eugenides, it's got a certain novelistic appeal to it.

I cant actually recall seeing a trailer for it PRIOR to watching it. My wife is an Amy Sherman Palladino stan and i THINK did the first season on her own and was like "This is a Phantom show" so let me catch up.

 

[Norwegian Blue]

I just watched The Perfect Couple.

Rubbish.

Nicole Kidman was wooden, bad acting imo.

That's a pity. We watched the first episode last night and Mrs NB loved it. So I guess I'm watching the next five episodes even though I could cheerfully drop it.

 

[Norwegian Blue]

Colin From Accounts goes alright. Haven’t seen season 2 though.

We're halfway through Season 2 and I think it's better than the first. The episode where she caught him having a

Spoiler

wank

was hilarious.

MKR has some idiots putting a pork belly on at 6.30 in the evening for a 7.15 service.
Australian television royalty.
Ahahahah

London police officer DC Hana Li is escorting Dr Matthew Nolan back to Beijing where he has been accused of a crime. However, on board flight 357, she finds herself embroiled in an escalating conspiracy and a growing number of murders.


Its a UK conspiracy thriller TV show where the story is completed in one season. Its recommenced that you binge watch this for the pacing but you do need to suspend your beliefs in what is happening at times. It has moments being cliched and predictable, but delivers a somewhat satisfying conclusion.

6/10

You've obviously never bothered with Wentworth or Total Control.

Wentworth was great until it got utterly ridiculous

Wentworth

Please your joking right?

 

[phantom13]

You've obviously never bothered with Wentworth or Total Control.

The clearing was pretty good too.

Deadloch, Black Snow, Boy Swallows Universe is just one of the best shows of the last few years period.

 

[Jatz]

Wentworth was great until it got utterly ridiculous

Think I made it through 3-4 seasons and then stopped watching due to exactly what you're referring to.

I've often wondered if I should go back and finish it but I've not done it yet.
