what shows are you watching just now? Or is there any you have watched and would recommend?

I caved in and watched the Game of Thrones, afraid to say i loved it! A lot of people were saying oh its just a load of sex etc,, but to be honest after the 2nd series that waned, and i thought it was only in keeping with the storyline anyway. So Im now caught up and waiting for season 7. we have one of those fire sticks and an android box so we can get practically everything on our tv.

Another i have watched that way, is Sons of Anarchy, that my son kept telling me to watch. It has 7 seasons and then it ends, i have watched it all and i miss it now! :wah:

we are at present watching Vikings which is good and has some historical value, and also Blind-spot which im not that fussed on but hubby loves it.

I did enjoy the Missing that was on BBC and another good one was Happy Valley. I usually watch things like call the midwife and Casualty etc too

I don't know what you guys get over there, but here are my wife and my favorites:

1. Elementary (or Sherlock when it comes around)

2. Masterchef Junior (It's amazing. You gave us Ramsey, but negated that with Bannon)

3. Survivor (Starts soon)

4. Law and Order SVU (As good as the original)

5. Hunted (New but interesting: runner couples try to escape professional trackers including FBI and CIA agents)

6. America's Next Top Model (guilty pleasure...)

7. and my personal favorite right now: Timeless (Well-written time-travel series, the protagonists aren't sure if they are even on the right side as they try to stop a rogue from unraveling history.)

Some odd series about living off the grid in Alaska

New Tricks

Not a lot else.

Love masterchef ( most cooking shows i like) and i did watch a series of that hunted. My son is always applying for these daft shows.

Not been watching much TV of late. Need to catch up on Game of Thrones, though. Last episode I watched was the one where Ramsey B assaulted Sansa. At the time I had been hold out hope that GRRM was going to finish writing the book series, and I didn't want to drift too far off the book story line.

It is now evident that he plans to just let the TV series take off and run with his story, and let it go. On the whole, a very interesting cross-media adventure. So, I should probably revisit the series.

I just started watching a series on Netflix, called Travelers. People come back to the 21st Century by taking over bodies of people at their moment of death, and try to fix things. Immediately they discover that the intel on the hosts is less than complete. One is a Junkie, another is an epileptic librarian with learning disabilities, A single mother, and an FBI Agent.

It shows promise.

Well I wont spoil GOT for you if you still have catching up to do except to say you probably have an idea juts how much worse Ramsey can get I think i am pleased i didn't read the books first.

Let me know how that other series goes If you haven't watched Son of Anarchy I recommend it ... it took me a few episodes to really get into at first but i was totally hooked once i did.

And I just saw that Longmire has a new season on NetFlix.

Have to schedule time for that one, now.

never heard of that one either,, but think i may have to look for or start a movie thread,,, just watched hacksaw ridge ,, quite good even if a bit Americany!! ( i dont really mean that in a bad way)

Longmire ran for several seasons. It is about a sheriff in a Wyoming county, who is dealing with some interesting characters. One of his deputies is the son of his biggest critic, a developer who wants to turn the area into the next Las Vegas, and Cheyenne crook who wants to build a casino on the reservation, and a corrupt Tribal Police Chief. All the while dealing with life and the usual stuff. This is supposed to be the last season.

A movie thread may be worth running as well.

I just saw The Great Wall. Kinda weird, but very entertaining.

Game of Thrones...... Didnt watch it for a long time after it started, then binge watched it all to catch up.

Vikings....... The same binge watching

Westworld....... Anthony Hopkins makes anything watchable. Based on the original '70s film with Yul Brynner but much more complex.

Taboo......The recent BBC series with Tom Hardy.

we are series junkies the husband and I.

The Walking Dead,

Survivor,

Humans

Vikings (though we are waiting for the next season right now)

Into the Badlands (I think it starts next week again)

The Voice (starts up again either this week or next)

Incorporation (just finished it's first season, I hope there will be more)

And for complete wackiness we watch ...Whose Line is It.

Yea me and hubs try to make a point of sitting down together to watch a couple of episodes of a series or a movie, maybe have a couple of whiskies or brandys we watched the first episode of walking dead and still haven't gone back to it.

Blue Bloods--My wifes favorite

Blacklist

This is us

YS I heard "This is us" is real good.

Not my normal type of show. Wife loves it and it is very compelling.

I'm currently going through the Republic of Doyle series.

Reminds me of the Rockford files.

Psyche is kinda cool. Psyche you out in the end.

psyche is one of my favorites. we bought the dvds so that we can have marathons.

Yep. That is a fun series. Yes, I can see the Rockford parallels. Actually never thought of that 'til you pointed it out.

The Wife has taken a liking to the new McGiver series. Me, I can take it or leave it.

Same with Scorpion. She likes it. I kinda get hung up with the bizarre plot twists and nearly impossible situations that they manage to just squeak out of.

You want to watch something different - watch River

The Mindy project

Gilmore girls

New girl

When calls the heart

Mary Tyler Moore show

The **** van dyke show

skittles you are an old soul.

I pegged you as more sci fi. Walking Dead kinda person lol

Blue Bloods

Major Crimes

For the most part I like older shows like the old Gunsmoke, Maverick and other western shows from the '50's-60's. Then there was Naked City. A lot of the appeal is seeing performers in their youth who later became well known actors.

What kind of world do we live in when D1ck Van Dyke's name gets censored?!

One of the Cable TV channels is advertising a Monk marathon this coming Saturday. I am so very tempted to cancel all my plans for Saturday, stock up on beer and kibble and spend the day in the recliner.

The Mrs. put me on notice about the Monk marathon.

I must admit I like the show but only in limited doses.

Omgoshhhhh I can't believe I left out bob Ross!!!! I watch him EVERYDAY!

Dick has been corrected and the post cache rebuilt which should have removed the censorship retrospectively but does not appear to have done so.

Oh, Ok. Sorry for the extra work. I didn't mean to be a "d**k" about it. LOL!

I really liked it! I hate coming across shows on Netflix and finding out there was only one season, so now I check the dates before I'll watch

Skittles do you use Bob Ross as a sedative... gosh his voice can mesmerize a 2 year old with colic. lol

Longmire

sons of anarchy

there are a few Alaska one running at the mo

The Shield tho a old one now

depending on the mood

A place to call home

Heartland

if I think of anymore ill be back and re post

I was sad that Downton Abbey finished.

SSGB on BBC 1 on Sundays, started rather slow and almost boringly, but it has picked up little o I'll persevere with it for the moment. The series was, in fact, not quite what I expected, and unless it picks up greatly I feel that it has missed an opportunity of presenting a realistic and thought-provoking story. We shall see.

I enjoy the Catherine Cookson's series of 3 hour period 'epics' set in the North East being aired on Drama Channel (20 Freeview)

Boon (originally ITV) is being shown, I think, each day. We now appear to have moved to Nottingham to film the various series. As I have lived in the Nottingham area all my life, I find it great fun recognising the various locations that they are now using. Far more interesting to me than when they filmed the earlier series in Birmingham ! They are showing "Boon" each afternoon at 3 pm on the "Drama" channel. I have a vested interest in the Boon series now that they are showing the episodes filmed in Nottingham, as the film company hired our river charter/trip boat for one of the episodes, I think it was the 90 minute Christmas special at the end of series 6 (ep.14) - Michael Elphick kept himself to himself when not filming on location in the boat. Neil Morrissey, all 6' 4" of him had to bend when he came down into the saloon, and one of our crew Jim became jelly-like when Elizabeth Carling came down the steps into our saloon. Jim reckoned she'd got legs "right up to the top". Actually she was a very nice person and she really had a great pair of legs !!! We could see this, as she was wearing a Christmas outfit with a very short skirt. I think Jim was never the same after Elizabeth had a photo taken while she was sitting on his knee !! :yh_drool Neil and Elizabeth were in a relationship at the time, and I always thought it was rather a shame that they split up after being engaged for a while.

I'm also pleased that Robot Wars has been brought back with a second series on BBC 2 on Sunday evening. I thoroughly enjoyed the mayhem of several years ago when Craig Charles was the presenter.

I know there are other TV progs. that I enjoy but I'm tired and need to get some sleep ! :rolleyes: :yh_sleep

oh,, some more for me to think about here thanks

Gill,, I used to like Boon when it was first out I like Catherine Cookson but much prefer the books.

I got a chance recently to watch The HBO series "Westworld" season 1.

OMG!!!!

That was awesome. The acting is superb, and the plot takes some very interesting turns.

I am taking a breather before taking on season 2

I'd love to see that one, but don't want to pay for HBO. I'll have to figure out a way.

If none of you have ever watched Orphan Black, the series finale is this Saturday. It was 5 seasons long and OMG is the lead actress awesome.

I am recording season 7 of Game Of Thrones, I CAN NOT wait to binge watch every episode.

Well, I just discovered that season 2 does not come out until 2018, now. No matter.

I probably want to re-watch season 1 before then, anyway.

I think it is worth paying for. and I don't say that about many series that have come from HBO

Boardwalk Empire was one I enjoyed a great deal.

Some of the others, not so much.
