The TV Thread: What are you watching?

The Last Kingdom and the following series I watched when it aired and I've got to admit I did love it but it's not often I get engrossed in a series but I've only seen the first episodes of the latest Star Trek so may give that a go again but more Next Generation, Voyager and Deep Space Nine fan from past series and I never really liked the original ones .
 
The sopranos is my favourite boxset
I love the Sopranos, but from HBO I think The Wire is probably their greater masterpiece!

I've been a Trekkie since I was a kid, and my Gran first pushed me to rent some videos when staying with her down in Plymouth. I'm not the greatest fan of the original series, TNG/DS9/VOY are gold to me, and I have a soft spot for Enterprise too - though it is a different kind of Trek.

...of the newer stuff, Discovery was a train-wreck that's already been written out of canon, Lower Decks to me was just too much forced American humour, unlike most I actually liked S1 of Picard, but by S3 thought it was a cheese-fest trying to just (badly) pander to fans. Strange New Worlds is the best of the bunch to me, but still would give it maybe a 6.5/10 overall. Star Trek has long lost its spirit.

I'm actually rewatching DS9 at the moment, just got to S03E03, just as it really starts getting into its prime.
 
Watched LOST again right through still a top notch tv show.
1 of my favs that made HBO was OZ that made SOPRANOS that made THE WIRE all unreal shows that i go back to often esp sopranos.
Just watched 6 series of shameless lol what a show that was as well.
Tv show called brotherhood think only 3 seasons but good show.
The sheild is quality and southland 2 great shows.

Shameless was filmed within a mile or so of where I live lol
 
The wire is amazing as well. I also like breaking bad and better call saul
These are all TV gold wonderful. :love:
A friend of mine in Rotterdam, her son is a professional actor now. Turns out he and his peers have watched the wire 30+ times some of them! Its an acting masterclass. However its missing a season or two to fully explain the rest of the infrastructure...

I have watched the wire 3 or 4 times and it is an acting masterclass especially when you watch it a few times and you get to know the characters
Don't think it needs another season as it all came to an end anyway
 
Last few series I got addicted to:

Ozark
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Snowpiercer
Foundation - cant wait for the next season, paying for apple just for this as and when a new series comes out, total addiction, was addicted to the books as a teen, top scifi.
Vikings
The Last Kingdom

and i watch and love all scifi :)

It is a masterclass. Think there is crossovers with homocide life on the street, the corner and the wire and law and order done crossover with homocide all inspired by wire creator they tie into each other.

Nypbd blue was another great show to watch thats was similar to these, homocide, nypd, the corner then the wire in that order to watch i think.
 
Yeah all these really good, brutal as the wire, maybe a bit more. I haven't seen the crossover I'll have to go on the hunt for that! +nypd blue!
@Moon if you've been lucky enough not to see it yet its stunning a must watch mate.
 
I'm honestly struggling with disappointing TV schedules these days, back in the early 00s there was so much worth watching airing each week - I look back on it now as a golden age. These days I'm lucky if there's more than one show at once I want to watch each week.

I think all I've watched past year as it's aired:
  • Silo
  • From
  • Severance
  • Dexter: Original Sin
If we hadn't binned 20-26 episode per year seasons, there's so much more I'd be watching. I hate the fact season length has more than halved, while 'seasons' only really seem to air every 2-3 years now. I've half forgotten what's happened in series like Foundation, House of the Dragon or Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
It was 100% golden age. All powered by the big money behind streaming, AWS+NETFLIX, and these companies are alledgedly separate - a recent (edit) engineering blog post found more circumstancial against https://www.theregister.com/2024/12/18/netflix_aws_management_tools/
