So Parks and Rec. ..
I've finally gotten around to it. 3 episodes into S1.
It's a little slow yeah?
If you'd have asked I would have advised you to skip S1 and just start with S2. It's a different, not very good show, in S1 and part of S2.
But they makes some good tweaks of characters and add some new ones and then it takes off from there.
yeah, OK - I'm only 3 episodes in, should I persist with it or jump to S2 then?
Persist if you want to be a completist - it's a short season right? But skip if you're getting bored with it. It does get really good so don't want you to drop out based in the first season.
I'll persist then. It's not like I dislike it so far, just didn't grab immediately
cheers

Almost finished season five of The Walking Dead. Terribly repetitive. Can't see myself persevering with it much longer.
Talking about tedious shows, my lovely wife has started watching Midsomer Murders. How does a show clearly made by an amateur theatre group go for so many seasons?

I think I finished S6. And from what I recall, they tried to rectify the repetitiveness in S6, but just went off the rails with fishtailing, and ended up with trying to avoid the... a... repetitiveness at the season-level, rather than episode-level? If that makes sense?
I still intend to watch at least a couple of the next seasons... even though I believe this is the point where it just starts going downhill fast. If only to understand the cultural references in whatever the equivalent of The Simpsons is several years from now. -
@antipodean i have zero idea what series I bailed on, but think the tiger king fulla was about

I can’t remember exactly where I gave up so won’t mention it in case I’m spoiling.
If I bite my tongue and grit my teeth I might admit that same about Star Wars one day.

Started Your Honor ( American spelling ) with the potential future Mrs MN5.
Outstanding two episodes in, what a shit show( that they’re in, the show as in TV show is terrific ), makes you wonder what the fuck you’d do if your own son was in that situation.
Excellent compelling viewing so far.

Did anyone else watch How to sell drugs online (fast) on Netflix? Another German show on Netflix, three seasons.
It's quite a good comedy-drama.

Just started Mother Father Son.
Wasn't really sure of the premise and still not, but stars Richard Gear as a rich media mogul in the UK, who I'm sure we can guess is an evil arsehole. Also has the late Helen McCrory as the ex wife. They have a fucked up son who is running the star paper while his dad is in the US.
Pretty good so far, almost finished ep2.

Does Richard Gere die a horrible, painful, embarrassing death? That might make me watch the last ten minutes.

I'm starting to see the whole series is about his horrible, painful death.

Just a FYI.
I have been on AppleTV+ for a free 12 months after a phone purchase. This is about to run out and I was deciding whether to continue. NZ$8.99 isn't much but when added to Netflix/Neon/Disney I thought something needed to give.
However as I am an Apple user for cloud storage and music I did the 'Apple One' subscription which combines stuff into one bill. Effectively meant that ATV+ costs me only $4.
Seems a good deal to me. -
2 eps into Deceit (Neon in NZ)
Which is based on the true story of a brutal murder on Wimbledon Common in the early 90s, and how a female cop goes undercover to try and get information form the main suspect.
2 eps out of 4, is pretty dark, but a good watch

Very dark. Tries a bit too hard to be 'different' IMO but still watching. Being a true story they obviously couldn't be a whodunnit so it is all about the psychological journey of the undercover cop doing the honeytrap.
I can confirm that the opening scene was actually filmed at the Common. Recognised the spot instantly. Up by the windmill carpark. Exterior shots of Wimbledon Police Station the real thing as well. -

Seems a good deal to me.I planned to can ATV+ at the end of my free 12 months and then alternate it and Amazon every few months. I was too lazy. But I pay for three streamers and have access to six so it's not toon big a deal.

I'll subscribe to AppleTV+ again once the shows I want to watch have been fully released. It looks like they will be available weekly, so that won't be until Nov. The same for Amazon.
Meanwhile, I am busy watching some Netflix series.
Yeah that was my plan, but laziness defeated me.

Excellent
Great to see Brady from Mr Mercedes not being typecast too

@mikethesnow finished this.
Dark, but worth the watch.
I had thought things were going down another path...
:::
I thought Stagg's story about when he was young and killing a girl was true, just in another location, and he had done it with his cousin (who I thought would turn out to be Napper)
I thought that was how he knew how she was laying after she was killed, because Napper killed her, he was therebut didnt do it, and then when Napper killed that other girl and her daughter, it made you think it was Stagg who may have stopped him killing the kid previously.
BUt obviously I over thought it!

I didn't realise that all eps were available. They are still airing in UK and being released weekly on Neon.
Have All4 put the whole series up? Strange when they do that as you get some people watching as a serial and others bingeing.
