Great TV series - What are you watching now?

Dempsey and Makepeace.
Good 80's undercover police series about an NYPD cop sent to London for his own protection after angering a mob figure but causes mayhem with his hunches which usually turn out to be right. It's OK if a bit overblown at times but needs it to make it watchable.

Some of these episodes last two hours and in this rather long clip Lieutenant Dempsey meets his team mate Sergeant Makepeace for the second time @ 5:25.

Man, this brings back memories...Glynis Barber was probably my first celebrity crush, and she still looks great to this day. Amazing lady.

I just finished season 1 of FUBAR on Netflix. Good acting by Arnold and how he used lines and references to himself from movies in the past.. The plot is somewhat over the top, but it's entertainment.

I've been watching the new show Lazarus Project on TNT. It's Groundhog Day with a good plot. I like shows with time travel so this one is right up my alley.

I gave up on FUBAR after 2 episodes, it was just a bit too much of I don't know what but I had to switch it off.

I’m giving White House Plumbers a try.

billnchristy · 06-14-2023, 07:03 AM

Clark on Netflix. It's funny as hell, definitely check it out. It's about Clark Olfaffson who is responsible for the term Stockholm syndrome.

My wife and I enjoyed it. Clearly they took some artistic licence with the character development, but I think it worked. We found it very funny.

I couldn’t get into it last night but will try again soon.

I know what you mean. I just continued to watch because of the insults between the characters. Some of the lines are really funny. The story line is little out there and unrealistic compared to similar shows about CIA and undercover story stuff.

Clark_Kent · 06-14-2023, 04:00 PM

I'm probably super behind on this one but I finished Season 1 of The Sinner and started on Season 2. I actually started Season 1 over a year ago, got two episodes in and put it down. It was very slow to build but thought I'd give it another go. Turns out that I like it well enough to keep watching.

Season 1 with Jessica Biel was great, could never get into the other seasons though.

Season 1 was the best and went progressively downhill after that I think.

Alfisti · 06-15-2023, 08:57 AM

The Sinner, yet again another show that starts Ok but then just loses it's way. By the about the 6th episode it just totally goes to shit.

Murf the Surf · 06-16-2023, 05:56 PM

So do I watch this tonight or Extraction 2?

I'll be watching Extraction2 and wait patiently for Clarkson Farm 3.

Sedan_Clan · 06-16-2023, 08:03 PM

“Black Mirror” Season 6 is out. So far, I’m blah about it. Prior seasons were much better.

So we watched GT tonight, it was pretty funny and played as can be expected with a bit less drama than in the past. I wonder if May, Hammond and Clarkson are getting a bit old for some of the more challenging adventures. If you're a fan you'll enjoy it.

Alfisti · 06-16-2023, 08:46 PM

I'm a massive fan. The original Grand Tour was a mistake but the pivot to specials was brilliant.

M5Rick · 06-17-2023, 02:48 AM

True story of Litvinenko, poisoned by putins KGB.

tcphoto · 06-17-2023, 08:26 AM

I tried watching Grand Tour but I was mildly amused, Jeremy on his farm with a cast of characters is hilarious.

I saw the first 30mins of the last episode and it’s terrible. The show does not even know what it wants to be anymore and feels nothing like a black mirror episode.
