What have you watched on TV?

Just finished watching My Grandad's War. Quite extraordinary story. Well worth finding on iplayer.

 

[MK Shrimper]

The first half of the final series of BoJack Horseman. So, so clever, tragic and funny all at once. I'll miss it when it ends.

Who killed little Gregory.....Netflix.

Shades of Madeline McCann but with further twists.....Well worth a watch

War of the worlds.

Second episode worse than the first.

The screenwriters have completely diverged from the original novel just to cram in a female lead and the flash forwards are a terrible idea because we already know the Invaders are defeated.

 

[AndyT]

I think I can see what they are trying to do. Maybe just seeing it from a different angle. After all, there's already the original book and two films, so making the same version was probably something they didn't want to do.

I'm enjoying it, but I think they are slightly overdoing the relationship side of things, at the detriment of the actual story. It's almost like the martian invasion is a sub-plot.

Also not sure about the hopping backwards and forwards in time. This happens a lot in dramas these days. It would be better told in chronological order. It almost looks like the future scenes were cut for episode four and they had to shorten it to three episodes.

Overall, the effects and such are really quite excellent for a drama. The story just drifts a bit.

That said, I'm looking forward to the final part.

Continuing to enjoy Gold Digger

It seems to be taking a character each week and making them the lead for that episode, which works well.

Weirdly I'm loving it as a show

I’m. With you on this, I will watch the last episode but i know I will be disappointed- it really is crap,
It’s badly acted, the story is full of holes, there is lots of divergence from the book- which is fine if it’s good- but it’s not.
I cant connect with the main character at all

Yeah- but half of us are weirdos, proven by our devolution to a **** football club.
I wouldn’t trust the judgment of someone on this site to cross the road

3 of the 5 dances on Strictly were remarkable.

Yes, obvious bottom two this week, despite one of them being enjoyable to watch.

They were all enjoyable to watch. This series has got to be the highest standard there has been.

Oh I don't know, James Cracknell and Anneka Rice were truly dreadful - and David James wasn't much better!

I always look for those who are novices to begin with, and Chris and Alex are both doing amazing, think it should be Alex to go this week though. Karim has a little too much of a dancing background for me, Kelvin and Oti are my winners.

Well done for calling both dance-off couples. Not a lot to choose between the two but probably it was right that Alex bowed out. If the standard continues then I think Chris will be gone next week.

Justified, on Amazon Prime, very watchable and entertaining if not deep.

Not terribly impressed with WotW last night, thought the short series started really well then went downhill from there, sadly.

Yeah great show.

The Mandalorian Enjoying it so far. Better than the Last Jedi but then again, every Star Wars film was better then that pile of **** IMO
