TV thread 2

Went to both the Undertakers 1deadman show and the Elimination Chamber and holy fuck what an amazing couple of days.

Never been to a wrestling show before and it was absolutely incredible. Atmosphere was insane, lost my voice through the chanting and cheering/booing which was a great bit of fun. Dom Mysterio getting bood to shit was the highlight for me.

Undertaker's show I was expecting like 200 people and instead there WA 2000. Hearing the gong go off in person was spine tingling. Then he bought out Triple H which was just as cool as well.

Masters of the Air- Look it's not Band of Brothers and it was never going to be but it's still fantastic.

The Night Agent - finally finished watching this. Unsure how it's the sixth most watched Netflix series ever. It's good without being great. Similar to Reacher in terms of quality and watchability.

On the Watchlist:

Mr and Mrs Smith
Constellation
Murder at the end of the world.

Keen to hear reviews if anyones watched any of those.

Season 4 of For All Mankind lost me. Seemed to drop away in writing and acting quality with the new characters.

If anyone hasn't seen Blackbird it's probably the best thing I've watched for a number of years. Only 6 episodes, it's based on a true story of a convicted high class drug dealer being offered a shorter sentence if he goes into a dangerous prison to befriend a serial killer to found the dead bodies of the women he killed. Highly recommended. Would stamp my reputation on it.

Yes! The rotund guys performance was chilling i thought, so good.

Go watch Shogun.

2 episodes in and it's incredible.

I cannot say this enough, watch Shogun. It is fucking incredible. Absolutely hooked on it.

Giving it a crack over the weekend. The reviews are all amazing.

One of my favourites series. I adored all of it.

Bingeing on the final 2 seasons of The Sopranos, that I managed to miss.

Seen episodes here and there, but need to fill in the gaps.

Some banger TV series out at the moment. Finished Fallout and really enjoyed that, first episode was a bit meh but from there got more enjoyable.

Watching Clipped atm. Will be good for a short series, nothing too fantastic but enjoyable nonetheless.

Looking forward to;
The Gentleman
Presumed Innocent
Dark Matter.

Half way through Shogun this week on the back of Ur recommendation, brilliant. Great looking show, the setting, details

Watched the first two of Presumed innocent, that has started well, for me almost everything Jake is in is good

That's exciting to hear.

Man, I honestly couldn't talk higher of Shogun. The subtle humour, the scenes, the dialogue. It's just incredible.

Mrs Cow and I part way through Shogun at the moment too, but its just hit the backburner because House of the Dragon resumed yesterday

HOTD ep 1:

I notice the Boys is back as well, so will get on that this week as well.

Elder Milch Calf has decided to watch Star Wars, so we've been watching those over the past few weeks. Have seen first 6 movies now, so up to the fun times of the sequel trilogy. Will be interesting to see what she thinks of them

Read Dark Matter the book and although it was interesting it was written by a man who didn't understand women are people.  Apparently an issue with a lot of sci-fi writers who come from science-academic background. Really hoping the tv show makes enough changes that it's not the case.

U guys watched Acolyte ?

We watched Acolyte, thought it was OK certainly not as bad as all the hate it generated. Finished a lot better than it started though
Watching skeleton crew now

Summer is prime TV time for the cow family, Mrs Cow is a teacher so these days she actually has some free time so we can binge through a few things.

We've finished Day of the Jackal

Just started Penguin, David Mitchell's detective/comedy Ludwig, and about to get into Silo season 2

With the kids we watched Dream Productions (the inside out spinoff) which was pretty good

I've started watching From when I have some time by myself, just started the first episode last night, but it has me hooked, and word seems to be that it maintains quality, so happy to give it a try

For those that like British game shows, Only Connect has a special nearly every day at the moment - which is great for the nerds.


For those that watched Squid Game, is 2nd season any good? We enjoyed the first one, is the 2nd season decent as I'm a bit worried its just going to be a cash grab with no good story

Cheers for the heads up on anything David Mitchell-I'll give it a crack.

I started From when it first came out. 1st Season is great; 2nd Season does get a bit repetitive but watch through till the end and you'll be keen for Season 3.
