@machpants Blackadder was good, but not as good as I remembered it being.
As I said in another post, Fawlty towers falls in same category, not as good as I remembered it.
@Crucial inhad watched most of them previously but watched all again recently

Watched first episode of Killing It starring Craig Robinson. As amusing as I hoped it would be. Will continue to watch.
-
@antipodean we watched it too and agree, will watch the next one

WTF is Peacock?
Haven't heard of this Streaming Service, I'm guessing that's what it is? NZ only perhaps?

Just reading a Stuff article and it is on TVNZ On Demand.
The same article mentions shows on other streaming services like Acorn TV and Shudder. Too many of them now.

Ah cool, even better, thanks @Kiwiwomble .
I have Stan as I'm in Sydney so will have to look out for this and put it in my list.
I've currently got the 7 day trail with Paramount+ to watch 1883, season 4 of Discovery and Halo.
It was only when I started the 7 day trial did I realise that Halo is dropping weekly so have now seen 2 Eps and I'm committed to my subscription until Halo finishes.
BTW, how bloody good is 1883. As a Western fan, it was just awesome, the writing was terrific and those conversations between bouts of extreme violence were awesome. And the cast, wow, great acting and the main protagonist, Isabel May is just stunning and her transformation from Ep 1 thru 10 is quite remarkable.
Just read that instead of a Season 2 of 1883, there are just going to be more Episodes, like a part A due to how popular it has been.
Halo is actually better than I expected and enjoy the first 2 eps.
Discovery is well, Discovery and I have to say I enjoy it but it isn't going to win any awards.

Shudder
that is some shitty Horror channel I think?
@RoninWC Halo is on TVNZ On demand here, so I'll def be having a look at it!
I thought the next season of 1883 was set like 50 years ahead??

@taniwharugby I think that was the original plan but given the success and popularity of 1883 they will extend the episodes and then from what I understand, a second new series set 50 years later is in the works.
As per this article, the writer has all of this worked out well before the Yellowstone Series began.
An '1883' producer explains how the 'Yellowstone' prequel's story will continue without a season 2
David Glasser, an executive producer, said the "Yellowstone" prequels could be viewed collectively as an anthology series.

It's best not to revisit old shows that you have good memories off unless you are in a nostalgic mood. Lots of movies etc from the 80s that were fun at the time are very disappointing if you get to see them again.

@crucial fair point, are a few movies I refuse to re-watch (Highlander being one) based on the fact I know they wont have aged well at all.
Are plenty however that I have re-watched (movies and series) that I still enjoyed.

Depends on the quality.
Loads of classics from the 80s are absolutely timeless and can be enjoyed again and again.
But some movies I liked as a kid are just awful to watch nowadays.

I've still not watched anything on my Paramount+ subscription. I really need to find something to watch to justify my $5.95 I paid for the year.

How did you manage to score that @Nepia ? That's a damn fine price!

One of my mates saw that there was a weird anomaly on one of those tips sites, Ozbargain maybe, it seemed like it was for South America but they accidentally opened it to Oz. I jumped on it straight away and then it disappeared pretty soon after.
Thought they might have reneged on it but maybe they hope people will stay on after the year ends.
I haven't watched anything on it but two of mates who I share streaming services with have been using it.

We are all mates here.
Well, except for those inbreds from Canterbury.

@tim I'm quite interested in the Ipcress File as I was a great fan of the Deighton books. Whilst I liked the Harry Palmer adaptations made in the 60's they were still a little unsatisfying having read the books and I think that they're better suited to a mini series. As an aside did you watch the TV adaptation of Game, Set and Match back in the 80's with Bilbo Baggins?
Watched the first two episodes - quite good so far.

Forgotten about this until your update and have just watched the first episode. Good period detail, pacing spot on and a well acted storyline. Was wondering about Joe Cole in the lead but he’s channelled Michael Caine very well.
Jean is easy on the eye isn’t she?
