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?

    I'm watching Season Two of the OA on Netflix. Season 1 was decent, but it jumped the shark a few times with that absurd "dance" sequence omfg.

    Season 2 has done lost its mind, but in a good way.



    Did see Season 1 too, but that dance (still the idea wasn't that bad)... might check out S2 if you say it's great!

    If you like absurd, adult animation I highly recommend Tuca and Bertie on Netflix.

    From the creators of Bojack Horseman,  you could easily mistake it for a same-universe spinoff,  but the world it takes place in (and the overall tone) is a lot more silly and over-the-top.   That being said, it does start to veer into the heaviness of the Bojack series in its later episodes.. but instead of going hardcore depressing, it always balances it out with more ridiculousness.

    Also, it's extremely NSFW.

    I finished seasons 2&3 of Fortitude.
    Hmm, I'm quite disappointed season 3 was just 4 episodes. Felt rushed and left a lot hanging. I've read that the creator originally planned for 4 seasons.

    Good show otherwise. It certainly got pretty messed up as it went along.

    Just finished up The Orville.  Bloody fantastic season!  Season 3 has been confirmed and I am MASSIVELY looking forward to it.

    I was really surprised at just how good The Orville is, because I was expecting a lazy Star Trek parody and it turned out to have production values and writing on par with some of the better actual Star Treks???

    Nobody has mentioned Netflix picking up Lucifer yet..? Series 4 is available on there to watch and they've got the go ahead for series 5 too! I love that programme!!! :D

    I've also started to rewatch Haven too, available on Amazon Prime Video.

    I've been watching Happy season 2.
    America got one episode a week since march, but Australia only got the full season last week. I've only watched the first 8 (of 10) episodes, but for a show called Happy there's not much of Happy in it. He's there, but he's not really doing anything, just off to the side. Which is fine, since Nick is awesome as always.

    Sadly syfy cancelled Happy a few days ago, so there won't be a season 3. :(

    With a bit of luck either Netflix or Amazon will pick it up. I keep on meaning to send SyFy a turd in a box due to all of the top quality series they've let go. Plus the new spelling of their channel is beyond stupid. It used to be properly called Sci-Fi a few years ago
