Well, after quite enjoying the UK panel shows... Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Woukd I Lie To You, Mock the Week, 8 out of 10 Cats, (doing Countdown), Taskmaster, etc....
youtube notified me there was a NZ Would I like To You.
Note to TV producers.... NZ is too small to have enough funny people for this shit. Don't try. It will be piss-awful. As evidence, go back and look at every single attempt you've made so far. Stop it.The most cringey one is the one where a question about a news item is asked, a scripted “impromptu” joke answer is given by one panellist, then the correct answer by another.
Should have turned it off the moment I saw that Saffa Whale on it. -

I think the one you're talking about is an attempt at Mock The Week... but I didn't watch enough to see if they were brave/deluded enough to try the extended-stand-up section. -

Finished S1 of For All Mankind.
Bloody good series
I've started on S2. A few changes in the intervening years.

For those who have access to UK TV shows, new series of Taskmaster starts tomorrow (18th March UK time)
Contestants are Charlotte Ritchie, Jamali Maddix, Lee Mack, Mike Wozniak and Sarah Kendall.
Looking forward to seeing angry Lee Mack...

Mexican series Hernan about the conquistador Hernan Cortes. Absolutely outstanding. Obviously the usual morons have complained but it is a far from sympathetic portrayal of the guy and is basically a warts and all view on how fūcked up humans can be.

Finished S3 of Loudermilk, what a quality show!!
Plenty of humour, but some dark/serious stuff too.
Tell Me your secrets (Amazon)
Follows a woman who has been put into witness protection following her release for aiding a serial killer, and she has memory blanks and no recollection of the events that she is accused of doing.
All the while the mother of a girl she was accused of killing, is hunting her through a foundation she created for parents of missing girls, she in turn engages the services of a serial rapist on parole to track her down.
Was pretty good, decent finale, setting up S2 nicely.

Kingdom
Korean medieval zombie series. Two very short seasons
Heaps of fun. 40% political throne the stuff, 60% angry sprinting zombie flick.
Huge fun.

@mariner4life sounds interesting, will add to my list, I just started Sweet Home (Netflix) a Korean Fantasy/horror series, first ep was decent, will continue for now.

Was scrolling through Netflix last week and came across S2 of End of the Fu*#king World.
Finished it last night.
Very dark series, very amusing, but stuff that probably shouldn't be, but is very good.

Barbarians - based on a battle in the Teutoburg Forest between Germanic barbarians and the Romans (sub-titled)
Good watch!

@bones said in TV Serieseseses:
Anyone watched Taboo, any good?
Yeah - good. It starts off with a bit too much "mystical" shit - a-la early Vikings.... but once they've worked that out of their systems, it's really very good. Like @Bovidae - I'd be quite keen for a S2... but I'm not sure if they're doing one?
Edit: a 10 second Ask-Jeeves search says yes, but they've been meaning to do it for 3 years now - and not actually started... and that there is actually 3 seasons planned.
