Agree, well done show. The river scene was a little wild. It felt a little like a video game sequence, lol. I really enjoy a great performance from a relatively unknown actor/actress. Eddie Redmayne was great!

I'm well into season one. I see that there are four seasons - I can't imagine it going that long and get the feeling this is one of those that should have ended a lot sooner and is going down a rabbit hole. Any thoughts?

Happy New Year, everyone.

It's rubbish. It goes down story lines then not only abandons them but later, contradicts them. It's such odd writing, totally loses it's mind several times. Don't bother, just trust me.

Agree. Manifest is a bona fide loser.

I agree, season 1 was better so far, but it season 2 does get interesting depending how far you are!

I just finished Fauda. It took me two weeks, but holy shit it's probably the best series I ever watched. I read that season five is going to be based on the Oct 7th attack. More killing of terrorists again.

Agreed - first season is good and intriguing, but the second and subsequent seasons go downhill fast. Don't waste your time on it!

They must have thrown a shedload of cash at this show as looks like a Bond movie to me! The cinematography is top notch - and, yes, Eddie Redmayne is perfect in this role.

We finished Landman and enjoyed the first season. Looking forward to another season so hope it is renewed.

Decided to watch Black Doves over the weekend, was better than I expected and I can't wait to see what they do in Season 2.

Clark_Kent · 01-13-2025, 08:16 PM

Started On Call on Prime Video. It's a police procedural by none other than Dick Wolf. It's decent so far.

Okay, just finished episode 2. This is really done well. It's a high end production with great cinematography. Very impressed. Feels like a big budget movie each episode so far. Give it a shot!

Darling Buds of May is a delightful series set in post-war Britain with star David Jason and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

I have one episode to watch, it’s dark, gritty and well done.

sygazelle · 01-17-2025, 11:31 PM

I never thought I'd like another network show after all of the amazing content available through streaming. Last night, we watched the first episode of High Potential with Kaitlin Olson. I really liked it and will record and watch the rest of the season. Great premise and well executed (I think).

SILO Season 2 - Must see TV

Castlevania Nocturne: Season 2 - Absolutely superb
