New telly shows thread

[WiteWulf]

Yeah, been looking forward to this one for a while. Hopefully get to watch a few eps this weekend.

Worked through Beef this week. Nice little show, doesn't go where you'd expect at all.

And started Florida Man which has a score of zero on Rotten Tomatoes but it's clear there's something going on with reviews because it's pretty great. Strong Elmore Leonard vibes throughout.

Loved ep 1 Of Mrs Davis - nun vs super AI in a mad cap Coen'esque fantasy style tv drama.....roll on the rest -

Watched trailer. What the what was that??? Comedy action? Sci-fi action? "Real" action?

Its mad - like Preacher x 10 mad.... Its a omnipotent AI vs a Nun Vs the Coen brothers vs laughs.....

4 eps into Poker Face and absolutely loving it - great columbo homage with the stunning main actress and some great comedy - 10/10

Will have to watch Russian Doll next...

[WiteWulf]

Russian Doll is great if the (intentional) repetition doesn’t annoy you. I watched the first ep of Beef and didn’t get it, is it worth sticking with?

Agreed, Russian Doll is fun. We both enjoyed Beef but we were hooked by that first episode. It definitely goes places, for sure. That said, if the first episode hasn't got you then maybe it's one to miss

A brilliantly unexpected treat on Sky Arts - Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir.

That’s right, the comedian/actor best known for Vic Reeves and Shooting Stars.
He and his wife travel around the UK birdwatching, and then back at his home studio he paints a watercolour of the species they are looking for.

They also meet local artists and other celebrities, learning new techniques or challenging them to do a landscape painting.

It’s feel good TV.

ok not new but picked up the complete wire on DVD in a charity shop - ripped and on plex and currently half way through the second series. Brilliant TV

Started watching Silo and really enjoying it so far. Like the fact I can't binge (as would be finished by now)
Doesn't reveal things too quickly but all the better for that. think Life in a Vault (a la Fallout) with a dash of murder mystery, paranoia (some of it reminds me of the RPG but without the laughs)

closest programme I have seen is Ascension (a too short series that really was well done). Haven't read the book so can't say how far it strays from it (possibly read it after I finish the series)

worth a look

I think there was only one meh episode of Black Mirror and that was the Scottish serial killer one.

(I also wanted the spaceman robot to murder those hippies... )

Yep, Silo is flipping brilliant. Not seen anything that's hooked me so hard for a *long* time

Black Mirror Season 6 done. Blimey, what a great run. Not one duff episode this time round (and fuck me, Demon 79 was amazing). Top stuff, thoroughly enjoyed

Couple of Australian comedy things catching the eye at the mo

Colin From Accounts (BBC) is turning out to be a proper little treat. Has had the missus and me properly howling.

And Deadloch (Prime) is pretty great too - murder in a small town, it's Broadchurch meets Absolutely via Waititi. Lots of fun

OK, bit further in and this is genuinely brill. Read a piece in Vanity Fair yesterday suggesting that the working title was "Funny Broadchurch" so I'm happy that my initial assessment was on the ball :-)
