The TV Thread

What's Hot
There is a film thread and I feel bad for its little cousin as I think there is some excellent TV around these days. Especially important in lockdown.
What are you binging/watching that you would recommend? Older stuff people may have missed?
Ideally if you would put where you saw it as well that would be helpful.

    I have just finished season 2 of Back (Channel 4). Mitchell and Webb but not their writing. Excellent stuff bit not written by them.

    Comedy gem on Netflix, The League. Never hear it mentioned bit hilarious.

    Lewis is great as is Endeavour.

    Vexxed. Only two seasons of three. First is the best I think. Last seen on Netflix I think.

    IT Crowd - Excellent
    Back - Very good

    Anytime I see a thread like this I have to recommend The Shield (not to be confused with the marvel universe one of a similar name). Fave show of all time The Sopranos but hopefully most will have seen that already. 

    The Shield is a rollercoaster from start to finish absolutely must watch

    It's always been on my list but I tried and never got into it, will try again.

    Watchmen. It succeeds where the film didn’t.

    Things I've particularly liked over the last year:

    Cobra Kai (Netflix)

    Into the Night (Netflix) - only six episodes, hopefully there'll be a second series

    The Boys (Amazon)

    Slasher (Netflix) - not for everyone, it's pretty gory, but well done

    Mindhunter (Netflix)

  • Too much TV.

    Anyway, just got into Blown Away on Netflix which is a glass blowing competition ( really) but worth watching for the repeated use of the phrase Glory Hole. 

    Also on Netflix is Lupin. It's roughly a French equivalent of Sherlock as it modernises the tales of Arsene Lupin. Only half a series so far on there. 

    I'm not usually very positive about Netflix but there is a bit of a dearth elsewhere at the moment. 

    The Great on Channel 4 which is funny, sexy, bit crazy. Highly recommended.
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

  • What do people recommend on Amazon Prime? I've just signed up for month's free trial (mainly because I needed a few things quickly) so figured I'd try and get some use out of the month's Prime Video subscription while it lasts.

    Truth Seekers. They've just announced no second series but it's what you'd want Dr Who to be.

    I've always hated Dr Who and things like that, so not sure it would be my cup of tea!
