Question

The Official TV Thread

Just thought I'd start a thread where we can all share what we've all been watching.

I'm just finishing the fifth and final series of The Gentle Touch starring the lovely Jill Gascoigne as DI Maggie Forbes. It's a programme from the 80s and is excellent.

Next up for me is the second series of Monkey, known as Monkey Magic in the States I think. If you haven't seen it then you HAVE to check it out. It's a Japanese programme from the 80s that tells the legend of Monkey, Piggsy, Sandy and Tripitaka who travel through Asia to pick up the Buddhist Sacred Scrolls. Some may be familiar of the legend from the video game Enslaved: Odyssey Of The West.

I love rewatching stuff from the 70s and 80s regularly, they don't make telly like that any more which is a real shame. All we seem to see these days is mostly reality TV bollocks with the odd gem hidden here and there. :(

So what are you guys and girls watching?

    That's one of the many sci-fi series I rewatch every few years! An all time classic!

    I'm watching Travelers on Netflix at the moment. I'm always up for anything that involves time travel, and the third series is up on 14th of this month.

    And The Expanse, one of the many excellent sci-fi series killed off by SyFy, has now been taken over by Amazon. Amazon and Netflix need to do this more imo.

    If you have Netflix, Memories of the Alhambra is a great Korean series about AR.

    I've just started watching Russian Doll on Netflix starring Natasha Lyonne who plays Nicky from Orange Is The New Black. Have only watched the first half a dozen episodes so far and it's excellent. Her character keeps on dying and then gets brought back to her birthday party in the bog every time, Groundhog Day style. :D

    I'm on episode one of Russian Doll. But I keep pausing it to watch other stuff!

    It's great, really enjoyed it. Only 1 series though because it ends at the end of the series. Stop pausing it and watch it, worth it just to see her going down the stairs lol :D :D :D

    just finished Tom Baker Dr Who - I remember watching him falling from Jodrell Bank  when i was a wee nipper so seeing that last night was a blast from the past (depending on where it was pointing I could see the real thing when on a walk near my parents home as a kid).  Also watching season 2 of stranger things.

    stuff set in the  current decade am enjoying chicago PD, chicago fire and season 6 of elementary.
    Fiat Coupe, gone. 350Z gone. Dirty nappies, no sleep & practical transport incoming. Thank goodness for VR :)

    The first season started out strong, but I became somewhat bored toward the end. Had decided not to watch Season 2, but then I did watch the first episode - and it wasn't that bad, actually the story seemed slower and more immersive (or I'm getting too old). I liked episode 2 (s2e2) too - now I'm looking forward to watch some more this weekend  :)

    Have given up on Daredevil Season 3 too - maybe I shouldn't...
