What's Your Favourite Series Or New Series
These days I'm watching :Grey's Anatomy (Season 15),still watchable after all these years.
CHiPs (Season 1,cop show from the 70s)
House of Cards (Season 6) After Kevin Spacey's departure,this season feels very dull,while the earlier ones made for compelling viewing.
Homeland (Season 7),not particularly compelling,though still watchable.Orange is the New Black (Season 2),the series makes for a quite a change from Piper Kerman's book,on which it was based.The book was rather boring.

Thanks Aditya. Enjoyed your appraisals.
Paul wrote: "Thanks Aditya. Enjoyed your appraisals."Thanks Paul, feel free to share your take on Homeland once you get around to watching it. And did you catch The Americans?
Now watching The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,(Granada TV 1984),season 2.Very well made series,with Jeremy Brett as Holmes.I'm not too fond of Conan Doyle's writing style,and prefer this series to his books.Great views of the English countryside and excellent sets.

Not yet, but I'm curious about it. I'd go to 'The Night Manager' a step ahead of it, but I hope to get there.

Janet wrote: "Yeah, that's what I've read is exactly that. At the time of airing it was hardly watched. My brother watched it and loved it but I'm not convinced it's for me. More from a patience point of view. S..."Not me. It seemed rushed and characters were doing things that seemed out of character. Also, it was the first season where I wasn't half tense worrying about my favorite characters.
Mod

Sky arts great documentary, watched Jane Fonda, 2 1/2 hours.
Channel Five
David Jason... A British Icon.
If Jane Fonda was performing on my deck, I wouldn't turn on the light to see here. She is a total disgrace to America.
Mark wrote: "If Jane Fonda was performing on my deck, I wouldn't turn on the light to see here. She is a total disgrace to America."Are you a Vietnam vet?

No, but a lot of my friends are and they would all pay to send her to Canada or back to Vietnam

Yeah, my mom is of that era and she said Vietnam vets have never forgiven her.
Nor should they. She actually went to North Vietnam and posed with the enemy.
Mark wrote: "Nor should they. She actually went to North Vietnam and posed with the enemy."Yes. It's one thing to be anti-war, but she went too far.
Mod

911.. Lone Star
and just watched... yes a programme made in Jersey, Channel Islands
The Real Housewives of Jersey, 10 parts, it does show off the island of Jersey very well, edited very well.
Shows the houses beautifully, but the 7 woman in the series are not really the real housewives, and are quite nasty to each other.
But makes good TV
