The Official TV & TV Series Thread

We watched Under the Banner of Heaven - because it was based on true crime and also watched Sweet Pray obey on Netflix which gives more background on the show.

Black Bird, I watched the first one, so now I am saving the rest for when its all done.

We also are watching the second season of Walker.

I think it’s time HBO Max expands to SA already… so much good stuff on there. Here’s a teaser for a bunch of their new and returning series coming in the next year or so, including a brief clip from The Last of Us at around 1:45.

I am sad about The Wilds being cancelled, I wanted to see where it would go.
I don’t know why Moonhaven got renewed, I struggled to watch the first 5 episodes, just the cast never pulled me in.
Im happy about For All Mankind, its such a brilliant show.
Loving only murders in the building but I am a weird Selena fan girl
I am sad about endgame being cancelled
Happy that Bosch Legacy got another season - I am missing the show so much

Ive been watching The Shield - never watched it before, its good, but Bosch was better :stuck_out_tongue:

Also this caught my eye:

It is bloody brilliant

Im a bit iffy about this, Domhnall is brilliant, Carell just is a bit bland, and the story itself so far is irritating to a degree since its the typical trope of the therapist who needs more therapy than the patient. Only 2 eps out so far, luckily they are short, 20mins each, maybe if this was done as a movie, it would be a bit more coherent.

Just finished black Bird as well, that was brilliant

I Give it a 8.5 out of 10, First episode is an 8 imo But Episode 2 just expanded everything and the Effects are probably the best ive ever seen for a tv series, makes Game of Thrones look like a low budget b grade series :rofl: ok im exaggerating, this show has a ton of potential
