TV Series' - What Are We All Watching?

Really enjoyed this… It WAS on BBC iPlayer, not sure now… Good stuff.

I’m obsessed with Scandinavian noir and crime if you hadn’t realised!

You ever tried Beck? TBH I haven’t, but the books by Sjöwall & Wahlöö that the TV series is based on were a big feature of my youth. My mum especially loved them and so did I. I’m curious what they made of it for tv in this current times (so I should try and watch some episodes), as the political ideas the writers had are rather dated now. They were communists believing in the Soviet Union model and they used their writing as propaganda, especially the later books they wrote. There’s a couple of movies made too, The Man on the Roof the only one I saw which was pretty good back in the day (1976 that is). They are recognised as the godfathers of the genre.

No I haven’t, I tend to feel a little disassociated from some of the older spear heads of the genre like Wallander etc due to probably historical content and context. I’ll definitely check it out though. Always up for the good stuff. They are making such good TV these days it’s easy to forget there’s some really good existing stuff out there.

Het Gouden Uur was pretty enjoyable. I finished it, not bad.

It keeps getting better and better as it progresses. For me it ended up being one of my favourite things I ever watched on TV. Enjoy!

It’s been a while since I’ve watched something, where I’m actually really looking forward to the next episode. This has been one of those shows.

Who carries. Thanks

I am watching Loudermilk, the series about a sobriety coach. I really like it so far, reminds me so much of the Duplass work. I like oddball stuff.

I actually really liked Cult as well but Asylum is my absolute favorite. Freak show was really good too! American Horror Stories had some really good episodes too!
