Try not to bite your fingernails.

Just finished season 4 of The Expanse downloaded from Kodi. Pleased to see that a season 5 has been commissioned.
Good SF fare.

You have seen almost every program ever made, it would seem, but you haven't seen Downton Abbey? ! You must really hate that genre or something!

BristolUK

but no.
To be honest I used to get that at work from people who watched more hours of Eastenders and Coronation St in a week than my TV viewing added up all together. Sometimes I wonder if it's talking about a TV show or shows that make people think one does nothing else.

I only watch of an evening, rarely more than two episodes of anything, sometimes it's a movie instead and sometimes nothing.

I like to think I am a selective viewer. Even when it was only 3 or 4 channels I would never just watch, it had to be something I wanted to watch. It's the same now, with the major difference being I have to search harder for it. If I then like it, it's more rewarding and I want to tell someone.

I have never been keen on 'costume' type stuff or anything vaguely historical. I should probably watch it for Maggie Smith but...

It took me a while before giving Peaky Blinders a go.

"Let's play a game"...you name 10 popular TV shows and I'll tell you how many of them I watch

Well I for one will not be playing.

95% of my recent viewing is down to the posters in here.

I haven't even seen The Wire yet and I probably won't get around to it. Boardwalk Empire too.

Not many have mentioned Fleabag though...and you must see it.

BuckinghamshireBoy

To be honest, I struggle with Fleabag I try once in a while but...

Engrages (Spiral) has me at the moment.

For me The Wire remains the best thus far, you really should go there.

Another great show on Netflix is "Unorthodox". It's about the Hasidic Jewish community and 1 girl's quest to seek a different life outside of the community

Just started watching The Morning Show on Apple. 2 eps...so far so good.

The Wire is on my list to watch. It's on Crave which we don't get but may for a month or so trial.

We started watching Duty/Shame Giri/Haji a few weeks ago and it was a bit of a trial to get through episodes and gave up after 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giri/Haji

In terms of non Netflix/You Tube stuff I tend to watch DAZN (not much on that these days) and some travel shows, Better Call Saul and that is about it.

It took me a while to get used to it. Like Nighty Night and even Mum.
I gave them a go and thought well that was decent, a bit edgy, maybe even over the top, but how can they make 6 parts (or more) of it? And I think, well I'll just give it one more....and then I'll just give it one more...and suddenly I'm into it. Maybe the pacing is just different.

Fleabag has this big advantage because I absolutely love stuff that breaks the fourth wall.

BuckinghamshireBoy

Flying Lizards, yay! That's on the list for tomorrow.

Wrong thread, troubled times, whatever.

I don’t need to challenge you. You watch the sort of programme that I want to watch?

You and I are a film club!
