I just finished seaon one of Mobland and it was fantastic. I'm watching Murderbot now.

I will have to give Mobland a try - meanwhile greatly enjoying Dept Q with Matthew Goode looking rather different https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27995114/

I started watching the mini-series called Sirens on Netflix. I finished the first 2 episodes and still not sure how I feel about it, but I'm invested enough to finish it. Anyone else watching?

Sirens

Ana,

I have not watched this but the cast is pretty impressive. Thanks for the link.

The description didn't appeal to me, so I never tried watching it.

I'm watching The 100 which is a pretty standard fare space/earth story about the people who have been on the Ark in space for 97 years after the nuclear apocalypse and are trying to return to earth to see if it's survivable. They have become accustomed to radiation in space, so are able to withstand the remaining radiation on earth. They run into "grounders" who survived and also can withstand the radiation and people who locked themselves up in a fancy bunker and have no resistance to the radiation. Wars ensue.

Like I said, standard fare, but it's keeping me interested enough to deep watching it.

I'm looking forward to a new season of Alone on the History Channel starting Thursday.

I'm enjoying Murderbot. Most entertaining.

Also watching The Handmaid's Tale. Quite sobering.

I was surprised to find what a comedy Murderbot is.

The Murderbot books are slyly funny, too. The show does make the humans look a bit sillier than they are in the books, but it works well in this context. I absolutely LOVE the cheesy soaps he watches. They're very well done and so much fun people are apparently clamouring for a spinoff.

A new season of Grantchester starts tonight on PBS.

Foundation season three coming next month.

Draclvr, I watched The 100. The first few seasons are pretty good. I thought it lost its way a bit towards the end, but I certainly don't regret watching it. It was enjoyable.

I finished the Handmaid's Tale last night. What a great show. Excellent from start to finish. There will be a sequel, which I look forward to.

After all that grimness I think I might wander back to something old and familiar. Dexter, maybe? Or Lost? Maybe it's time to revisit Dark. I was thinking about Supernatural but 15 seasons is a lot of watching.

Watched The Penquin today. Colin Farrell was amazing.

A new season of Grantchester, great stuff, thanks for the heads up Uncle Reg

I'm hoping Outlander starts up again soon.

We are re-watching Andor season one to prep our memories for watching season 2 next. I had forgotten how much I really enjoyed season 1.

I'm enjoying The Sandman season 2.

I'm still enjoying Murderbot.

Next up for me is Foundation, I think. Andor is also on my list.

The Old Guard 2 was pretty good on Netflix.

Ballerina was a good action movie. It is a spinoff from the John Wick franchise.

My current obsession is The Bear. What a fantastic series.

I’m with you SQF 👍

flotsam,

I think it is one of the best shows I have ever watched, I put it up there with Game of Thrones, The Wire, Ozark, Ken Burns The Civil War, etc. They do a great job of making you care about all the characters.

It certainly makes a difference when you care.
I do like the Ken Burns docos I have seen. The one on the Vietnam War is exceptional, and his Baseball opus played to one of my sweet spots. The Civil War ine was indeed very good.
I have never seen The Wire but have lots of good things about it. Perhaps I should seek it out.

Finally got to watch Nosferatu... I was able to watch the original several months ago and was amazed at how well it was done for being over 100 years old. The new one is also quite good and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Happened across one called Preacher last night. It takes awhile to wind itself up with all kinds of odd things going on across the world. The Irish vampire is my favorite character so far. After 2 episodes, I'm hooked!

Just started watching a very promising crime show on Netflix, Untamed, all the better for being set in spectacular Yosemite

... and flotsam The Wire is very well worth a look.

I looked at Untamed too... think it will be my next series.

flotsam,

If you enjoyed Luther you will like The Wire. In fact I think you would enjoy The Wire no matter what. The story and acting are top notch.

We are watching an old Bill Murray film from 1981 - Stripes - very silly but good fun - prompted by seeing this youtube clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKrdnPjKHcc

I remember enjoying that movie quite a bit back then Lex. Good to know it still stands up.
Just finished a very enjoyable 6 episode series called the Assassin with Keeley Hawes (which was my initial drawcard). Its stylishly preposterous fun, certainly not to be taken seriously, with entertainment being its raison d'etre. A good romp all round

I just finished Katla on Netflix, an Icelandic series. It's dark and billed as horror, but in the end quite a moving story. Worth watching.

I love the Icelandic shows... will check this one out. Thanks, hagatha!

We like Keeley Hawes so will try the Assassin: my present diet is season 3 of Foundation And an old six episode ITV thriller newly arrived on Netflix, Loch Ness (previously called The Loch) which is quite good. We also like scandinoir, so will give Katia a try.

Thanks for the tips.

Am enjoying Foundation also, although I wish it was all available.
Katla I liked too

Jut finished gobbling up seasons 1 and 2 of Foundation. It's fantastic! I'll wait until all season 3 episodes are available before I watch it.

I'm starting For All Mankind today.

Apple TV really does have some great shows..

For All Mankind is one of our alltime favourite shows hagatha, I hope you enjoy it!

We just finished The Madame Blanc Mysteries and found the crime comedy drama series fun to watch. Hope they continue with season 5 but there is no definite word yet...just speculation.

Just started watching "The Lazarus Project" ... a British sci-fi TV series that follows a man who wakes up to find that time has inexplicably rewound six months and is recruited by a secret organization called the Lazarus Project who's mission is to prevent global catastrophes.

I liked The Lazarus project a lot soot. Very clever I thought. Here’s hoping for another season.

Chief of War on Apple TV has been good.
