I've just joined, currently watching Daryl Dixon. I've added day of the jackal, penguin and generation kill to the list.

What else should I watch?

There's this show that no-one is talking about: Adolescence.

Two episodes into Doctor Who and it is a mixed bag - first episode was bad, second was great.

Daredevil started strongly but Andor starts today, so I'll be hammering through that.

Personally excited for Race Across the World which returns to BBC this week I believe.

I don't pay for streaming services but heard new Black Mirror is good.

I quite like the Apple TV adaptation of Slow Horses. Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb is simply brilliant.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I watched 2 episodes of that and just couldn't get into it

Shame. Gary Oldman's Jackson Lamb is the most perfect depiction of a character from a book that I've ever seen.

Is it worth sticking with it do you reckon? I'm just wondering if its the kinda show that takes you a few episodes to get into

[–] JohnSmith@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think so. But then again, I had read the books beforehand, which made it easier to get going.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago

Nice one thanks 😊

The Last Of Us was excellent and featured one of the most amazing episodes of TV of all time.

If you're a Twin Peaks fan (I am), the this is the place to watch Twin Peaks: The Return if you haven't seen it yet.

Dune Prophecy was excellent, although on a smaller scale than the Vileneuve films. But I enjoy anything with Travis Fimmel.

My wife liked Poker Face but I found the lead a little grating.

The Penguin was pretty good, featuring an unrecognisable Colin Farrell.

I loooovveee TLOU I've got etsy art of it on my wall. I fucking love it, but I'm not a 2nd game fan so won't be watching s2.

Collins farrel is an amazing actor! I couldn't get into the dune films, I'm more a serial girl. I'll look into poker face thanks 😊

I loved twin peaks but I loved the homely stuff, I gather there isn't much of that in the latest season?

The Pitt was bloody awesome, I'm annoyed there won't be more until January next year. It's a hospital drama set in a Pittsburgh hospital A&E and it's been really well received. The first season is 15 episodes each spanning an hour of a single day. Unlike many other hospital dramas, it is actually a drama about a hospital, rather than a relationship drama in a hospital setting. I think it's available on Amazon Prime.

MobLand is going now. That's in my list but I haven't started it yet. Stars Tom Hardy and Piers Brosnan.

Last of Us season 2 just started, and Andor season 2 starts this week.
