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?

    Well, they need to make room in the schedule for the hours of infomercials about prostate health, identify theft and air fryers.

    Haven't seen a TV-show in German for ages, but this one isn't bad (it's on Netflix) - maybe slightly like Stranger Things - can you see this show in the UK or US?

    Yup, it's on both I think. I watched the first series and really liked it. There's quite a lot of good forrin stuff on there.

    The French series Spiral was on Netflix a few years ago and was excellent. Can't remember if it was on the US or UK Netflix though. I might have a look at the French Netflix at some point if I can't find it on the US or UK Netflix, I've been meaning to watch the other series for a while.

    Top Of The Lake is also excellent, not strictly forrin though cos it's Australian. The second series has just released on Netflix and I'm just rewatching the first series again.

    Deep Water is another excellent Aussie series, as well as The Interrogation (can't remember if that's a series or a film now though!).

    I liked Dark. I haven't watched the second season yet (both are on Netflix Aus).
    I liked it better than Stranger Things, which I only got through 1 episode of before it annoyed me.

    Have only seen 3 episodes of Dark, but it does feel like Stranger Things for adults, lol.

    I've almost finished watching Killer Ratings, another great forrin programme. It's a documentary on a guy that was a host on a crime show like Crime Watch back here in the UK.

    Don't want to give away anything but it's worth watching.

    Tonight I started on Black Spot (Zone Blanche).
    It's like a french version of Fortitude. A remote logging town in a radio dead zone (no gps, no phones, etc) has a large number of murders, and strange things are going on.
    I think I like Fortitude better, but this one seems pretty good.

    I haven't seen the second series yet. I'm behind on A LOT of stuff lately. The third series of Jessica Jones has also released on Netflix and I haven't watched the second series yet. :o

    I completed the final season of Jessica Jones. It was quite good. Although the first season is probably still the best.

    I can't wait for Stranger Things Season 3!! OMFG
