New Year...... New TV series

Had to stop with the cats documentary, it just made me too angry.

Has anyone watched Mythic Quest? It is from the producers of always sunny

DvB · 09-04-2021 4:37pm

Call the midwife, new series starting Sunday April 18th BBC1.

Posy · 09-04-2021 4:51pm

Yaaaaay!

Jude13 · 12-04-2021 6:35am

I am on a roll of bad tv shows, the cat thing first, now the Widow on amazon prime. Don't bother.

DvB · 12-04-2021 6:44am

It's just line of duty for us atm. Not really following much else other than the usual gogglebox and first dates kinda lightweight fluff.

Posy · 12-04-2021 7:09am

I'm looking forward to Call the Midwife- hope it's decent, as quality has dipped since the beginning, plus social distancing and all that. :rolleyes:
Last celebrity GBBO tomorrow, then that's put to bed.

I've just finished Smother, which was a bit mediocre, but I'm going to try Penance, that new three part drama starting tonight, as it's got a decent cast of actors.

I'm rewatching Schitt's Creek on Netflix, just because it gives me a warm glow, and I need that right now.

Lovely. I though last weeks one was the last, great if there's one more though.
Then its the long wait until the proper one at the end of summer that will bring us up to the most wonderful time of the year.

I think tomorrow night's celebrity GBBO is a repeat. According to the TV listings, it's the one with Russel Brand, which was defo on before.

I'm only starting into Schitt's Creek! Just into the second series now, I love how short they are, but like you said, still give you that warm glow!

Ah that's a shame, have seen that one previously!

Tried watching Schitts creek, gave it into the early part of the third season but just hadn't warmed to it at that stage so gave up. I know others rave about it but it seems to be one of those marmite shows.

I can see it having the Marmite effect alright. I just like how you don't have to concentrate on it, and you can (and probably should!!) completely switch off. I love a bit of Line of Duty, but sometimes you just want mindless entertainment.

I have Only Fools & Horses & Gavin & Stacey re-runs for that

I can't watch David and Patrick without feeling that all is right with the world.

And I can never get enough Catherine O'Hara!

Delighted to have finally seen the Masterchef final. Was worried another royal might die and throw the schedule off again. :pac:

Hawkeye show on Disney + trailer released, and the show is set during the pre-Christmas period:

Love the 2 worlds of Marvel and Christmas coming together 😃😃

TRS30 · 14-09-2021 7:12am

Anyone watch 'Kin' on RTE? Any good? Lots of hype around it.

DvB · 14-09-2021 7:28am

Heard very mixed reports. Have it series linked so will give it a go at some stage, then at least if I'm enjoying it I watch watch a couple of episodes back to back.

TRS30 · 14-09-2021 7:48am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117888149#Comment_117888149

Yea, this is what I'm planning on as well. Might leave it till after next Sunday and then watch the first two back to back and see how it goes. Like to give all new shows min 2 episodes.

Posy · 14-09-2021 8:15am

Haven't had time to dedicate to it, yet- might not bother, will see. That's a good idea about the 2 episodes, TRS.

I've started 'Innocent' on VM1- really enjoying it, Katherine Kelly is great as usual. And only 4 episodes, so not too much commitment, especially as they are all available on demand.

Only 1 week left until Bake Off. 😁😁

Really looking forward to GBBO this year myself. We have a dedicated whatsapp group for it which is already in christmas eve mode for it 😀

In terms of TV shows, we just finished clickbait on netflix, 8 part one off series so no long term investment, the Mrs liked it, I thought it was reasonable okay, more twists in it than I would have liked but worth a look.

pigtail33 · 14-09-2021 11:10am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117888109#Comment_117888109

I watched it on Sunday, and thought it was OK. Hard to tell from the first episode, as there is a lot of scene setting, and it's hard to keep up with who is related to who! There's even a family tree graphic doing the rounds, to explain it all.

I've seen it described as a D4 version of Love Hate, which seems pretty accurate.

I'll defo stick with it, and hope the storyline develops a bit in the next few weeks.

Loughc · 14-09-2021 11:15am

I’ve Kin DVR’d which means I should get around to it sometime in 2023. Hope it’s good.

I usually have a few Christmas time movies knocking around on the planner till at least July!!

DvB · 14-09-2021 1:42pm

Have noticed a few christmas movies appear on netflix & on sky cinema in the last week or so.

On that note, how soon out do you consider it reasonable to start watching Christmas movies? We'd usually wait until Halloween and kick off with A nightmare before Christmas to cover both in the one go... than its Christmas movies most weekends after.

TRS30 · 14-09-2021 2:09pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117890116#Comment_117890116

we usually start the movies a little earlier, saw mid November as they are a great way of getting in the Christmas mood, especially the family movies.

DvB · 14-09-2021 2:40pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117890319#Comment_117890319

Mid November? Thats later than ourselves, maybe straight after Halloween is a little soon, but its kinda our tradition now... so many movies & so little time 😂

The last few years we've missed seeing a few as we had no time to squeeze them all in, so we're nearly on a 2 year cycle now.

TRS30 · 14-09-2021 2:58pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117890437#Comment_117890437

November is usually a busy month for us with birthdays, anniversaries so have a lot on.

This year, after the new kitchen we'll be on a budget so lots of days at home watching movies!!! 😁

Andrew93 · 16-09-2021 10:18am

To jump in here with a recommendation I watched last Christmas and loved.

The Holidate on Netflix :)

Highly recommend.

Whatever weekend is closest to December 1st. If it happens to be like this year in that its the end of November so be it. I'll put the tree up then and listen to Christmas music whilst doing it. After that it's Christmas music and films all the way.

Loughc · 20-09-2021 7:57am

Bake off is back on Tuesday on Channel 4

Taskmaster is back on Thursday on Channel 4

Live Strictly Shows are back on Saturday on BBC1

It really is the snuggle up by the TV time of year now.

Watched the first 2 episodes last night. Decent enough. Would recommend it.

Although it's hard to see Charlie Cox as anything else other than Daredevil now.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117913792#Comment_117913792

Good to hear. Hope to give it a go tonight or tomorrow night.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117913792#Comment_117913792

Damn, I love Daredevil. That was some show!!

I just finished 'Innocent' on Virgin Media on demand- good solid 4 part UK drama, along the lines of Broadchurch. Katherine Kelly and Sean Dooley are both very good in it.

DvB · 20-09-2021 5:13pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117916591#Comment_117916591

That available on the player? The Mrs was looking to watch it.

DvB · 21-09-2021 7:49am

Bake off day!!! Always look forward to that starting.

TRS30 · 05-01-2022 7:17am

New 'Death in Paradise' starts on BBC1 Friday at 9pm. Easy watching who done it and lots of nice sunshine!!

DvB · 05-01-2022 9:02am

We finished season 4 of Cobra Kai on netflix over 3 nights, as cheesey as they come but we love it.

DvB · 05-01-2022 9:02am

Peaky blinders season 6 starting soon on BBC1 too, saw the trailer for it on NYE.
