What's Your Favourite Series Or New Series

Although Damien Lewis is charismatic, and can act the socks of most TV 'celebs', the series didn't hook me.
Sean wrote: "Dead-water Fell with David Tennant..."Watched it. Great, haunting series. Tennant is superbly creepy.
One of the best US TV series of all time for me is:
The West Wing.
I have all 7 series on DVD.

Masterchef
New series

Bulletproof

Dragons Den
Liar, tonight
TV series Lincoln Rhyme & the Bone Collector (NBC) from the book series by Jeffrey Deaver has been an awesome edge of your seat thriller. Well done, fast paced with a great cast. Intense drama will delight thriller fans. Hoping it’s renewed for season 2. 👍🏼
Gloria, my husband and I are avid watchers of that show, also! I believe it’s doing very well ratings-wise so hopefully it does get renewed.
The Chronicle of the Kings was fantastic. I spent a month reading that series. Looking forward reading it again soon!!

Not a big TV watcher, rather read., but I got an app for my chromecast and found a series called the chosen. Its really good. I watch one episode a night. Glad I've found it!!
Janet wrote: "Anyone watched The Witcher on Netflix. Liked it more than I was expecting to."I loved it! Made me start reading the books which are so good. Very, very funny, but serious at the same time.
I binged I am Not Okay with This since the lockdown and am halfway through Kingdom, both on Netflix. Couldn't be more different, but both so good!

War Of The Worlds
Gloria ~ wrote: "TV series Lincoln Rhyme & the Bone Collector (NBC) from the book series by Jeffrey Deaver has been an awesome edge of your seat thriller. Well done, fast paced with a great cast. Intense drama will..."I thought it started off to fast without characters fleshed out, but I've adapted to it now. I think I've missed the last two episodes. Need to check it out online. I wonder if the entire series will be about finding and stopping the Bone Collector. That's a challenging writing assignment for the staff I bet.
One of the best US TV shows ever:The West Wing!

The Quiz
Good, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 9.00 ITV
Sean wrote: "Just watched last nightThe Quiz
Good, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 9.00 ITV"
Agreed. I watched it, too. :)
The Professionals: for nostalgia, the humour in characterisation and the insights into the current affairs of the time... and the theme tune.
Mod
Watched last EVER episode of Criminal Minds

Hawaii Five O (last tenth series)

I don’t get the love for the show Tiger King. I couldn’t even get through one episode.Also, I’m really disappointed with Outlander this season. My husband and I are equally bored by it. So different than the earlier seasons.
I go back and forth on a series I love. I think I change my mind every other week. So this week love is the Mark of the Lion series by Francine Rivers. A amazing read that at some point everyone needs to read!! So worth it!!
Mod
I love animals, but this becomes more of an unbelievable drama/thriller show.
Gripping Yes...
Shocking....
The enormous battle between the different owners, the death threats, the FBI, the fires, the threats, who owns what....
Also finished Liar, I was quite happy with the ending
Started watching Tales from the Loop on amazon and I’m liking it so far. I’m not sure if it’s the story or the way it’s filmed. It’s visually beautiful in a way that the television series Hannibal was. I’m going to keep watching.
Mod
Finished all 8 episdoes of Tiger King
Sad, shocking, gripping, unreal...
I think the most entertaining (is that morbid) part of Tiger King was all the pots calling the kettles black. One was as bad as the other!
Mod
I think more arrests....
Do not know who I would have trusted

I agree about Seal Team, found it boring.
Mod
The Real Marigold Hotel...
Michael Connelly's long-running series featuring Harry Bosch.
I will echo the Harry Bosch series as being one of my favorites.I would also include Lawrence Block's series featuring unlicensed private eye Matt Scudder and the Arkady Renko series written by Martin Cruz Smith.

Beautiful graphics but complete nonsense centres on a train running continuously in a snow covered world. Enjoyable hokum. 2hrs 20mins flew by.
Also starring John Hurt and Ed Harris. Recommended.
