Started watching Rake the other night on recommendation from a mate. Its an older Aussie series about a pretty loose lawyer. Pretty dam good actually. Will stick with it.
That's good to hear. Been sitting on my list for months, and I hadn't got to watching it. As a kid who grew up on shows like Blue Heelers and Water Rats, I love a good Aussie show.
I started watching an Aussie series called "Glitch" a few years back about a small town where people started rising from the dead (not in a zombie way) but Netflix at the time only had the licence to two of the four series. It's not a bad watch if you can find the whole series.
If you can be bothered going back loads of posts on here I gave my view on Glitch which echoed someone else ( can’t remember who ). Started well but turned to absolute shit in it’s last season. Preposterous, stupid, fucken confusing and a really unsatisfactory ending.

Foundation on Apple+
Only three episodes in but slowly building. The effort in developing the effects for the environments is stunning.

@mn5 possibly me, I bailed after a couple, I usually put up a review...
Finished Vigil.
Pretty good show, intense final episode

If I recall ( I’ve forgotten most already ) it was good up until the middle of season 2…….
Vigil is one on the “to watch” list at some stage.

@mn5 I think I bailed after 4 eps haha...usually give a series that much of my time to win my favour

Me too but I think we give them a bit of a chance given there seems less to choose from in these awkward times.
It took a massive nose dive but the other half persuaded me to stick it out.

The Walking Dead
Gave up midway through the sixth season. I can't for the life of me see what the hype was about.

Good show with a great denouement but a lame way to wind it up I thought. Did anyone give a shit about that relationship?

Yeah the flashbacks that interrupted more and more as the series progressed were shit.

I didn’t give a fuck about any of them by the end.

Billions
5 episodes have just been aired for S5 after the covid hiatus, and there were some really good episodes.
:::
I still enjoy this show but I think they missed the opportunity to end the series on the right note, particularly as Damian Lewis won't be coming back for S6.

They seemed to be coming right, but this "return" has them delving back to the balls-to-the-wall ridiculousness, with Wags even more over the top than usual.

)I had a suspicion it might be heading that way when the whole "laboratory" part of the plotline started winding up. I might just leave it as-is then, rather than waste my time on the remaining two seasons.

Please do, for your own sake.

Squid Games
With shit that gets talked about this much - I typically either ignore it until I can watch it without the external influences, or jump in so that I can be "part of the gang".
This time, I figured I'd go for the middle-ground, and watched the first 3 episodes tonight.From what I'd read, my hype levels were up to "a mixture of Old Boy (original Korean), and Battle Royale (original Japanese)" - and then talked myself down to "it'll presumably have features of both, but nowhere as awesome as either".
So far - my self-talked-down expectations are pretty much met. Interesting...-ish. Fun...-ish. Seems like a nice little Netflix foreign caper catering to the locals and the masses. If it gets people to watch Old Boy, and the rest of that awesome trilogy - sweet. If it gets people to watch Battle Royale - sweet. If it gets Amazon/Apple to create shows to try and replicate/compete-with it - sweet. -

Watched the season
Loved it

The Chesnut Man
Danish series on Netflix about a serial killer that is linked to the missing daughter of a politician.
Is pretty good, although the main cops are a bit dumb when they head off on thier own.
