Movies & TV What are you watching on TV

Finally, I just assumed they didn't bother picking up the rights for it since it was taking so long (Babylon Berlin 4th season).

Occupied (Norway) is a good modern day Scandi political thriller, feel like they could easily bring it back (given the subject matter).

Chestnut Man (Den) and The Break (Belgium) weren't bad either on Netflix.

Lol. Think I might warm up by re-watching the previous three series. BB is one of my favourite shows of all time. Complex plot lines, great character arcs and beautifully shot. A couple of the characters bear the name of real historical people who eventually came to sticky ends. It also captures the grinding poverty most faced.

Ultimately it depicts the historical fragility of the Weimar Republic and how it could have gone several ways, instead of the tragedy of its collapse and replacement by Hitler.

The Last Of Us first episode was fantastic. I wish they released a few episodes together rather than one a week.

Getting nothing but rave reviews all over the place. Pedro Pascal on a run of some great roles atm

Just finished watching season 2 of the Crown and holy shiiiiietttt was the actress who played the Queen incredible! I never thought I would see a better acting performance on TV than Cranston as Walter White but geez...

Almost don't wanna continue on with this series if she's not in it.

I refuse to watch as I need to play the game first. It's only been a decade!

These are three shows that I watched in the past few months that I quite enjoyed.

For those with access to Foxtel on demand, just watched Upright Season 2. Thought season one was quite good. I think the second season outdid it. Good Aussie comedy/drama.

Watching Ted Lasso & now all these english football terms are creeping into my vocab haha.

The fact that we had the abominations of Velma and Queen Cleopatra in the same year is giving me an existential fear of what's going to be next.

Rabbit Hole is freaking amazing. Just finished it, my god is it gripping. It's a spy thriller with Keifer Sutherland (24) playing the main character. Writing is on point, acting is on point & pace of the show is great. Highly recommend it, especially if you want to binge watch a show.

Available via SBS on Demand - the formation of the SAS by the guy who created Peaky Blinders....get then hence its a ripper. And don't let the bang bangs in the trailer fool you - the stories around the 3 main officers who helped create the SAS is in itself very interesting.

On my Office rewatch for about the thousandth time and I've arrived at the deposition scene.

If you know you know.

One of those "how the **** did they keep a straight face during this scene" moments

I'd watch almost anything with Dominic West in it.

He plays a really interesting character Dudley Clarke - Wikipedia

Anyone watch the Warnie thing? If so, was it as s**t as it looks?

 

[caesar88]

Philomena Cunk is one of the most hilarious characters on TV. Have lost count of how many times I've watched Cunk On Britain and Cunk On Earth. So hope they make more specials.

Finally I got to watch Season 4 of Babylon Berlin. Hopeless Netflix have lost the rights and did not bother to show it. Fantastic that SBS has picked up the 4 series and you can stream for free.

The show is set in late 20s and early 30s ahead of Hitlers rise to power.

It is imo just a brilliant show with multiple plot lines, politics, sexuality, music, comedy, culture, class analysis all get a run within a hard boiled film noir mystery.

Up there with the very best of scandi noir, the Wire, Treme and primo Irish and Pom cop shows.

Yep, I've been waiting for it too, got through it pretty quickly. Renewed for Season 5 too (probably final, filming late 2024).

Lol… wish I was in my thirties, handsome, charming, was fluent in Mandarin and German and had a satchel of good screen plays. I would be zipping off to Berlin to set up appointments with Liv Lisa Fries crew.

Just finished The Night Agent on Netflix. 10 eps. Quite enjoyed it. Supposed to be a second season coming.

Condor on Amazon is better.
