Re: Tele
I'm really enjoying 'Big Little Lies' on HBO. At first, when the g/f started watching it, it seemed full of annoying, inconsequential squabbling, but as I started to pay more attention, I've learned to really enjoy the various characters and the direction of the story.
The portrayal of 'domestic violence' is very scary; the whole Nicole Kidman / Alexander Skarsgård dynamic is very well done (I can only guess at how realistic it is, but it sure seems convincing to me!).
The school bullying story is also quite interesting.

I have been struck by the similarities to "13 Reasons Why", Big Little Lies is very much a 13 Reasons Why, for adults.

Re: Tele
Anyone seen The Son? Was a bit bored by the first episode but willing to give the show another go.
Decline and Fall and The White Princess, are both queued up. Any one seen either?
13 Reasons Why jobby was compelling but a bit naff. Main character was just annoying...plus was there anyone at that school that wasn't inked to the nines?

Re: Tele
The new Marvel show, Inhumans...double episode starter left me a bit bored and cold. Anyone else? I'll give it a bit more of a go but not to impressed so far.
The Good Doctor, is another doc show with a weird doctor type of genre, but I kind of liked this. A little slow but they seemed to be setting up a bit of a back story. Has the young chap that has played a lot of odd balls, most recently on the WW2 Brit drama.
The Brave, about special ops people doing rescues. It was okay, but a bit slow to get going and I'm not entirely sure the back story is all that interesting.
The Last Ship, still watching it, but it's moved on to a virus killing off plants, which is rather daft.
A lot of other shows that have come back, Blue Bloods, Five-0, Scorpion, Gotham, Blacklist, Chicago Fire/PD, Bull, Lethal Weapon, Berlin Station, How to Get Away with Murder, Exorcist.
Chicago Fire, was a bit disappointing. Lethal Weapon, silly but fun. The missus is liking Outlander.
Anything else? What did folks think of the new Star Trek? Thought it had potential and will probably be okay, but the main character left me a bit cold. Mostly because she came across as a bit of a knob.

The jury is still out on Good Doctor...but I quite enjoyed the first episode. I half expected to see Norma pop up. 
I enjoyed watching The Brave.
Chicago Fire was extremely disappointing.
Love Blue Bloods but haven't watched last night's episode yet. Also pleased to see Hawaii 5 O back. Got behind with Blacklist after trying to watch the spin off. Still have all last season to watch.

Re: Tele
I found the Brave a bit lacking compared to Homeland.
Been watching The Good Place and Orville recently. Both quite light entertainment. Orville is a not quite a Red Dwarf , but is not bad.
What was the spinoff of the Blacklist?
I did find Sneaky Pete entertaining.

Good grief, Inhumans was boring! We couldn't get through it.
Agree, though, about The Good Place and The Orville. And great that they are back to back -- laughed out loud several times in each.
