chesilbeach Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I've been watching the new MacGyver series. I have to admit, it's not great, but there's a pleasure to be had from it as it's a bit silly and the scripts are a bit rubbish. Quote
frankie Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I started watching Shameless (US) yesterday. (I saw 3-4 random episodes maybe 4 years ago when I was staying at a friend's and he wanted to watch his fave show. I got totally hooked! But knew I had to start from season 1. And for some reason it's taken me this long to start watching it!) Two episodes and I'm totally hooked and know that this will be a gripping show! Quote
Lau_Lou Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I watched a few episodes of the UK version. I thought it was quite good but never really kept up with it. I watched an episode of Inside Number 9 called "Sardines" was quite strange and dark but well written. Quote
pontalba Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The only thing I'm really (re)watching at the moment is Fringe season 2. I've just about given up on all the DC shows. They all seem to have jumped the shark now - too many characters with new ones who aren't very good. Arrow's the prime culprit. I really, really hate what they've done with Wells in The Flash. Even Supergirl has taken a nosedive and I used to be able to rely on that for a few laughs, at least. Really must catch up on Agents of SHIELD, though - I'm about four episodes behind at the moment We loved Fringe! We've watched Crownies, and now we are re-watching Janet King. Good stuff. Quote
Onion Budgie Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The new series of Robot Wars started last Sunday, so I watched that. It was great. I also caught one episode of Inside No. 9 (the one about the Sphinx), and quite enjoyed it. I barely watch TV, so when something good comes on I tend to miss it altogether and find out about it six months later! Quote
More reading time required Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 I finished watching Roots, which was really good. I have also watched 2 out of 3 parts of OJ: Made in America. I didn't think I would be able to get through something 7 1/2 hours in length but it's been compelling stuff - particularly re-living "The People vs OJ Simpson" tv show from the real life side of it.

Kylie Posted March 11, 2017 Posted March 11, 2017 I watched the final ever episode of The Vampire Diaries. Fitting ending, I thought. Lots of tears (theirs and mine). Quote
bobblybear Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 I've started watching Santa Clarita Diet. Loving the dark humour. Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 The final of the second series of The Great Pottery Throw Down. I've loved this series, and am sad to see it finish, and I suspect it'll be the last series due to the debacle of the GBBO between Love Productions and the BBC. Quote
chaliepud Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show with my 16 and 12 year olds, I suspect the youngest may head off to bed soon! Quote
frankie Posted March 25, 2017 Posted March 25, 2017 Watching The Rocky Horror Picture Show with my 16 and 12 year olds, I suspect the youngest may head off to bed soon! Do tell us how it went I'm watching the Finnish version of The Lyrics Board. This show was mega popular here in 1997-2005, and then it was cancelled even though every fifth Finn watched it religiously. The show's restarted again with a completely new crew, and they are butchering the whole thing... Argh! Quote
davidh219 Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Just recently finished Stranger Things. It was quite good. Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 26, 2017 Posted March 26, 2017 Last night, we watched episode 3 of Class, the Doctor Who spin off created and written by Patrick Ness. I'm really enjoying them, although they are quite creepy and scary at times, and it's definitely got adult themes for older teens and above, not for the little ones. Quote
chaliepud Posted March 27, 2017 Posted March 27, 2017 Do tell us how it went Maddie thinks she enjoyed it, said it was a bit weird though (a bit!) Robbie went on the laptop with headphones and peered over every now and then with a bemused look on his face! :D Quote
pontalba Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Husband had never seen Star Trek: TNG! We're watching, into the second season. We also watched the first ep of The Expanse. Wasn't sure at first, but we will continue. Edited March 31, 2017 by pontalba Quote
Athena Posted April 1, 2017 Author Posted April 1, 2017 We also watched the first ep of The Expanse. Wasn't sure at first, but we will continue. Is that by any chance based on the book series or is it unrelated? We're in the 5th season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I hope you and your husband enjoy TNG . Quote
Athena Posted April 3, 2017 Author Posted April 3, 2017 We've started to watch Death in Paradise series / season 6. We've seen one episode so far, but I liked it (even if I was slightly confused at one point) and look forward to watch more of it. We're still watching Star Trek: The Next Generation too. In the UK we saw some British TV programmes such as Grand Designs, Top Gear, the BBC news and such, and I saw one episode of the American TV show Bones. I didn't like all of the programmes I saw, but it was nice to watch some TV. Quote
shirley Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 I am watching Spectacular Spain with Alex Polizzi which is being shown on channel 5 I think she is so funny in the things she says but it makes a change from all the murder shows we watch. Quote
More reading time required Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Finished watching the first seasons of This is Us and Timeless which were pretty good. Also finished Catastrophe. Fab series & excellent last performance from Carrie Fisher. Started watching the latest series of Line of Duty. So far so good. Quote

We loved Timeless, I do hope a second season in commissioned! Quote
Madeleine Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 I've got the last few eps of Timeless stacked up, I hope it's re-commissioned too, it was fun. I'm also into Big Little Lies. Quote
Athena Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 We've watched Doctor Strange and Finding Dory. Both were quite enjoyable. We're also watching Star Trek: The Next Generation season 5 and Death in Paradise series / season 6. I'm enjoying both of those a lot too. Quote
