Athena Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 What TV shows and things have you been watching in 2016? I haven't watched many lately, but we did re-watch a few episodes of Azumanga Daioh!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madeleine Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 My favourite 3 shows in 2015 (dramas) were The Bridge, Wolf Hall and Poldark, with the Bake Off as my favourite entertainment show (and Strictly of course). I also enjoyed Witnesses (French crime drama). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nothing yet as we went to the cinema and I have only just sat down after dinner, now my youngest is on the PS4 so I get some computer time, I don't think there is much on this evening I want to watch anyway. My daughter has a friend here for a few days, otherwise we would no doubt watch a couple of episodes of Grey's Anatomy, maybe tomorrow!

vodkafan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I thought the Dr Who special was OK. I do like the way Moffat likes to play around big style with time in his stories and is much freer with the concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirley Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 We have been catching up with last years Blacklist which is so good, and we have nearly finished this latest series or the ones they have shown anyway. I love it when Red tells his stories. Makes me laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Currently working my way through Star Wars: The Clone Wars tv series on blu-ray (if only the prequel movies had been as good!) and season 2 of Rebels on Sky (nowhere near as good as The Clone Wars but it's definitely improved this season) . . . especially since Darth Vader turned up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Did anyone watch War and Peace last night? I've recorded it but not sure whether I really want to watch it! Wondered if anyone else had seen it and what they thought (although no spoilers please, as I haven't read the book either ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanW Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 War and Peace starts here in Oz in a week or so and I will watch it but was interested to read that the scriptwriter added the sex scenes and the reference to incest from his own imagination. Why do they feel this is necessary - it's insulting to intelligent viewers who you would think would be the main audience for this. There is so little good stuff ( ie - programs that appeal to us) on free to air that we mainly watch either pay TV or old programs and movies via YouTube on our big TV.

Athena Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 We're currently watching DeathNote. So far it's interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I've decided to start re-watching The Walking Dead from the first season. It's been quite a while since I last saw the first episodes. I'd completely forgotten that they showed how Rick ended up in the hospital in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Mainly Grey's Anatomy which I'm watching with my daughter, it finished on a huge cliffhanger yesterday but we had to go to bed so will watch again this evening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Started Season 2 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D last night. Two episodes in, not too bad so far. Trying to get to the end of it before season 3 starts on E4 (next week . . . ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Star Wars: A Definitive History on Spike. Very interesting, but an hour isn't long enough to tell this story properly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More reading time required Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Watched the And then they were none mini series. It was pretty good and had plenty of atmosphere but I was a bit disappointed they went with the play style ending. It seems a bit 'bond villainesque' to me. I remember when I read the book and I was like 'what the f...? So who the hell did it?' And then you get to the message in the bottle epilogue (or something like that anyway - it's been many years since I read it), and the slow reveal which is so satisfying.

Nollaig Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I've been working my way through the tv series of Mrs Brown's Boys, still got this New Year's special to watch too. On a MBB binge lately - reading the book series too and last night I got Mrs Brown's Family Handbook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I watched the first episode of Love Bites, a TV series of which I've seen one episode before and regretted not being able to catch the rest at the time. Have been looking forward to watching this for ages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I'm watching Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds - it all looks so tempting, I might have to get some more baking in this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbielleRose Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Charmed I just saw about David Bowie passing away. I've never seen Labyrinth and everyone always raves about it, so I plan to watch that sometime today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
