Athena Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 In this topic we can talk about TV shows, TV series, documentaries, YouTube videos, etc. ... we've seen in 2019. We're on season 4 of Star Trek: Voyager, but I expect we might watch some (recently bought) movies first before we return to watching more Voyager.

I've gone back and started rewatching the last season because I've only seen those episodes once so far. I've also been watching One Tree Hill, a teen show I missed back in the day and always meant to check out. Up to seaosn 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm re-watching Friends and finished Grimm. Hubby and I have also started a japanese drama, but I can't remember the title at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I recently read the Passage Trilogy by Justin Cronin, without knowing that a television series had been made based on the first book. Last night was it's first episode, so I watched it. For a first episode it wasn't bad! The two main characters are really good, the young actress Saniyya Sydney especially so. The adjustments to the story they have made so far have been understandable and well done too. I will be really interested to see how they preoceed.

poppy Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 The Durrells in Corfu series 2. Although it doesn't stick strictly to the books, still a very enjoyable and funny series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Extreme Cake Makers. Clever people who make amazing cakes. Watching it confirms that I LOVE cake, and that I would be blooming useless at attempting to make anything beyond a basic one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppy Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Gentleman Jack. Some excellent actors involved but particularly impressed by Suranne Jones playing Anne Lister. Based on her diaries which were found hidden after her death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just love how she takes on the misogynist males and gets the better of them. I love long coats too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissy Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 BBC quiz show 'Impossible'. Quite good fun, and easy watching. We finally got around to watching the second series of 'Fleabag' over the weekend. Super sharp writing, and great acting. Certainly not for everybody, but for some reason husband and I really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian. Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The excellent Chernobyl. I really liked the fact that a podcast series was created alongside each episode to expand on certain things and to explain why they deviated from the true story on the odd occasion that they did.

woolf woolf Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'm watching some episodes from the american version of Kitchen Nightmares, in which a famous chef tests and tries to improve different restaurants, and it's making me appreciate even more the restaurants in my area. In the two italian restaurants near my grandparents home, you can see the cookers making the meals in real time, whereas in the show the kitchens are closed from the customer's view and they use the microwave a lot.

Madeleine Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Really enjoying Outlander, it's filling the Poldark sized gap left now that Poldark has finished, actually I thought the last series was disappointing, but Outlander is very strong at the moment, possible the best series so far?

Onion Budgie Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Good Omens, repeatedly. It's spectacularly good. It's only on Amazon Prime at the moment, but will make it to BBC2 by the end of the year. Don't miss it, whatever you do! Michael Sheen and David Tennant are just so charismatically perfect in their roles as the angel Aziraphale and demon Crowley. Also -- how did I make it to this point in my life without watching EVERYTHING that Michael Sheen has ever been in?!? He's such a good actor. Currently remedying this ghastly faux pas.

poppy Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just finished the last episode of the first series of Beecham House. Felt it was over dramatised and romanticised. Have watched two episodes of the latest adaptation of Agatha Christies The ABC Murders. Much darker and suspenseful than the earlier one featuring David Suchet and there are some major divergences from the book. But putting that aside, the cast and acting is outstanding. Spine-chilling stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeleine Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yep Beecham House was a bit wishy-washy, OK for Sunday nights but makes Downton Abbey look like Chekhov! And the dialogue was atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 The Blu-ray for Avengers: Endgame came out here just a couple of days ago, and we watched it that same day (having waited some time before we could see it, because I don't do well with cinemas). It was really good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
