Great TV series - What are you watching now?

TXSTYLE · 08-29-2022, 06:36 PM

Not sure what the doubts of the LOTR prequel from Amazon are about...?

Here. Allow me to provide you with the final trailer released just last week. It looks every bit the most expensive made for television series ever!!!

Equilibrandt · 08-29-2022, 06:42 PM

Really enjoying Designated Survivor and The Bear.

HOTD is great, thus far.

dradernh · 08-29-2022, 07:40 PM

We're rolling with early reruns of Midsomer Murders – back when John Nettles and Jason Hughes were leading the program.

I enjoyed Designated Survivor a lot. Even the supporting cast was worthy of investment.

We watched a handful of those a few years back. Good, light entertainment.

How much wine were you drinking? Got about 5 episodes in, jeeeeeezus, talk about boring. It all feels so forced.

I wasn't expecting it to be a fast paced action series or anything, but it was the premise that I bought into. As a series I enjoyed it.

It was american bald eagle, statue of liberty stuff. Lots of standing around, looking and sounding very serious and very stately with the central hero full of good intentions and valor.

Watched the first 2 episodes of The Patient on Hulu. Liking it and wish there were more episodes to binge.

I saw that yesterday when I opened up Hulu, big fan of Carrell. Going to wait until there are a few more to watch.

Good idea. Episodes are only about 20 minutes long.

Early reviews are in for AMAZON'S LOTR: The Rings of Power
I like what I'm hearing from this vtrusted source IGN.

TTM0TION · 08-31-2022, 02:39 PM

I very much hope your enthusiasm for TROP is correct, but I think the trailer looks horrible. I want to be very wrong. It looks like the HOBBIT as opposed to LOTR if that makes sense. Which is wild given the budget.

Robin_NL · 08-31-2022, 03:47 PM

Anybody watching Harlem on Prime? Just starting S1 E4.

I really like it : Very over the top, very in your face, very self conscious and self-mockery(!) and I love to watch those fantastic girls!

For the record: I 'm a kaukasian Western EU guy 'having it all', very much into world history and society since I was a kid AND married to my beautiful Colombian wife!

Cheers

I enjoyed the first two episodes of rings of power. I want to see more of Galadriel. The actress playing her is nowhere near the original, (Cate Blanchett). But no one will ever approach that. TheGaladriel monologue in The fellowship of the ring is one of the great monologues of all time. And it was also great in the book. But the young lady in the TV series is very good. I will now stop drinking Murphs rum……..

Like the tens of millions of you who have just watched the first two episodes that were released worldwide, I have been eagerly awaiting this. Sure I would have liked more action and more creatures. However, I understand "pacing and patience". The storyline is being laid out. I can certainly see where the ginormous budget I've heard about has been spent. The special effects, choreography, scope, etc, are very obvious.
All in all, I was entertained! And I'm confident that I will continue to be...
