I actually thought it was pretty good, oddly I didn't see that similarities in Ragnar/Utred, aside from the leadership/Viking mentality.
Last season wasn't as good, but good enough I'll be giving the new season a crack.
Had a look at a new series, Trying (Apple TV) which started pretty well...(under 30 min episodes)
Couple in thier 30s trying to conceive, but end up trying to adopt...opening scene is gold.
Not too dissimilar to Breeders with some hilarity and some more serious stuff.
No big names but a few familiar faces.

@MN5 every time a character looks to be reforming, a couple of episodes later they do something that shows they are just the same arrogant selfish asshole
Agreed. Marty is such a slimeball and Wendy a bulldozing bitch. The kids are both fucked ( understandably ).....am I a bad person for thinking Ruth deserved the beating she got ?
It's compelling viewing but there certainly isn't a single character worth rooting for.
Speaking of that there's not a single hottie in it either.
Darlene could look after you?!
( shudders )
She taught Wyatt a thing or two!
So wrong

Yeah, I enjoyed the 1st 3 seasons, though when I tried to watch S4 E1 the other night after a break, I didn't love it.

Breeders is ace eh!
Innocent (itv) is chugging along nicely.
David Collins fights to rebuild his shattered life, when, after spending seven years in a high-security prison, his conviction for the murder of his wife is overturned. He then vows to discover the real killer. -
Defending Jacob
Good start

I've enjoyed both series up to a point. Vikings is now dead for me and this pretty much coincided with Ragnar dying, I think it just lost its way and got full of lazy stereotypes. The Last Kingdom I have liked and watched all four seasons, though I find it is getting a lot looser in the storylines and has gradually diminished, though still watchable.

@taniwharugby fella from room 404 is busy.
White Lines looks like it could be a very good watch.
-
Finished the series 'Trying', very enjoyable, as mentioned earlier, some hilarity, but also some more serious stuff.

@Toddy said in TV Serieseseses:
@Nepia yeah that was a bit gutting.
I've just finished all four seasons over the last two weeks and found it to be enjoyable, though quite repetitive. I've enjoyed it more than I did Vikings which I gave up on after season 4.
I am straight up astounded by this - IMHO the first 3 seasons of Vikings were brilliant and the ones after that pretty watchable. This just seems like knock off (with less charismatic actors, as I noted above).
Weirdly, I'll probably give it a couple of episodes of S2 out of laziness of trying to figure out a new show to watch. It might become my new Walking Dead where I just complain watch and update the Fern.

@Bovidae I gave up on the latest season of Vikings after about 3 or 4 eps.
Used to love Vikings, even thought the 1st seaosn post Ragnar was good, but now...
I thought S1 of TLK was very good, havent started latest season, but def lowered expectations as it seems on a downward trend.
@Nepia interestingly reading @Toddy comments, it isnt the first time I have heard that view of TLK vs Vikings...

@Toddy said in TV Serieseseses:
@Nepia being astounded by it seems a tad dramatic.
Both shows are pretty good, I just enjoy The Last Kingdom more.
I hated myself for hate watching The Walking Dead. I can't even remember when I finally managed to stop. Maybe season 8.
Overly dramatic on the fern, never.
If you read my earlier post about it in this thread I don't think it's remotely near the level of Vikings (at least in S1) so that's where that comment comes from ... feels like I cheap rip off to me (but as per usual, unless it's the prequel trilogy, we can all enjoy what we enjoy).I think I maybe stopped The Walking Dead a season ahead of you, and hearing how it has gone since then I'm so glad I did.

I think my expectations might have been too high. If I'd gone in cold I may have enjoyed it more?

@Bovidae said in TV Serieseseses:
I still have the most recent episodes of Vikings to watch, and I'll stick it out to the end. By the comments here I don't think I will even bother with The Last Kingdom. It sounds like Knightfall - watchable but not great.
Much better than Knightfall. I couldn’t sit through that till the end of S1. Not awful or unwatchable, just not engaging.
Re-watching The Witcher to see if I can make more sense of it, mostly timeline related. It’s working so far (Ep3).
-
@Catogrande I am sure The Last Kingdom will be better than Knightfall. But I've got other TV series I want to get around to watching and only so much time to watch them, so that won't be one of them.
Anyway, 6 seasons of Bosch done over the last few weeks. I didn't think S6 was as good as previous seasons so we'll see how they wrap the show up in S7.
