What's Your Favourite Series Or New Series

I thought it was awful, slow,..."
Personally I liked the slow pace, it set up the atmosphere and I liked how you got to know more about the characters through their personal lives. That being said I still prefer moments such as the 6 minute tracking shot in episode 4 and the final episode when they find out who the Yellow King is.
Also there is one detective series I wanted to recommend to you, and that show it called Twin Peaks (it's currently one of my favs).

Enjoying the new series 2016 Limitless
i am loving 11.22.63 on HULU. i am also a huge fan of American Crime. Great acting and great writing - very thought-provoking subject matter (both season one and two).
There was a great item on NPR this morning about Nurse Kellye from M*A*S*Hhttp://www.npr.org/2016/04/03/4728591...#
There are so many good ones now but I have to say Six Feet Under. More recently I've really enjoyed Broadchurch (the original British version).

Watching the New Masterchef
Voice, Just finished
Britains Got Talent, just started, with the great girl singer, the man with the sword !!. And the orchestra and choir.
The Tunnel starts tomorrow in the UK.
Mod
and "The Tunnel"
Tonight in the UK starts new series "Legends"
Couldn't get to grips with Sky's The Tunnel having watched the original programme on BBC4 (The Bridge). 100 Code was good and although I'm probably alittle bit late to the party Daredevil and Jessica Jones on Netflix brought a gritty character driven feel to superhero genre.
Saw a mention of Firefly too, a programme cancelled far too early.
I loved the first season of the US version of The Bridge. Am looking forward to watching The Night Manager.

We are really into The Americans (Kerry Russell) and we finished the Hulu series 11.22.63. that was fabulous!
The Americans is brilliant but seems to have been buried on some random channel in the UK.The Night Manager and 11.22.63 next for us. Looking forward to these based on the reviews so far
The Night Manager is on our list as well. Not sure if you have amazon prime, but three seasons of the americans is available for streaming. we are also obsessed with orphan black. sooooo good!
the killing , midsummer murders, vera, actually any uk produced series about police procedures - go acorn tv
Just finished Line of Duty. One of the best BBC shows, have always enjoyed these series. Much better than the stuff usually BBC does.The Night Manager was OK, didn't think it deserved all the hype.
Haven't seen enough of 11.23.63 yet, I think it's good but think it's one of those shows that's going to depend on how it's going to end.
Last Man on Earth is one of the best comedies on at the moment.

Ray Donovan, Limitless, The Americans
Blindspot is very good.
Five quite good
Supergirl, fun
Arrow not as good as it was
Blacklist, still okay
Hawaii Five O good.
Flash, still good.
All time favorite is 24. Besides Blacklist, Blue Bloods and Criminal Minds being what I mainly watch now, there are quite a few other shows I do watch after their season is over.
Have a love and hate relationship with Limitless, gave up after 4 shows and came back for some odd reason and now I want it to be over and done with the same with Blindspot.
Tanked Supergirl after 6 shows, not going to dig that one back up at all.
Hawaii Five 0 was one of my best shows for 3 seasons and then I lost complete interest. Surprised its still broadcasting new shows here in the US.
Love my British crime shows I can only catch on Netflix and Amazon Prime after their season has ended. They are so good!!!!!!!

It changed some many series that followed.
First season of True Detective was a gem. Luther seasons 1-3 equally dark. Homeland is still hanging in there as is The Americans, but both feel long in the tooth.Recently our teenage son said that 24 still kicked everything else's butt, so we dusted off seasons one and four and re-watched them. He was right, though I'd like it better if it was a tad more realistic.
For me it's the X-Files! Absolutely wonderful series - haven't been that addicted to show in years. I remember I would refuse to answer the phone during the X-Files.
we loved true detective - both seasons! i cannot wait for next season. does anyone watch american crime - another brilliant (in my opinion) series! such great story telling and a truly awesome cast! we also love penny dreadful. another creative series.
Lately I ve been into turkish series, there are some really good ones.
I agree with everyone on 24. Such a great show and premise. I am currently watching The Following now and find it reminds me of 24 in the way that it's taped.
Prison Break season one was crazy, I watched 10 episodes in one day.
Eh....even when I could afford cable, I didn't watch the networks much. There weren't any series that interested me. Everything I was interested in watching was all on HISTORY, FOOD, DISCOVERY, ANIMAL PLANET, PBS and/or CARTOON NETWORK.
Hi I found this clip about a turkish series I m watching, and there are english subtitles so I decided to share it. It s a spoiler if anyone is watching this series,https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BPKf_uU...

Secrets on ITV with James Nesbitt..Chilling and a true story.
Enjoyed Masterchef, but thought Jack should have one, but close.
Billions starts here in the UK on Thursday.
Loved that show Jekyll with James Nesbitt.

And the finals of Britains Got Talent
My absolute favorite series is called The Circle, by Ted Dekker. They consist of the books Black, Red, White, and Green.They are Christian fiction, and although very evangelical in nature if you know anything about Christianity, the fantastic world Dekker creates is amazing as he writes about a man named Thomas Hunter who is being chased in this world by organized crime members for reasons that he can't remember; yet every time he sleeps or is knocked unconscious, he wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world several thousand years in the future.
The main character, Thomas hunter, evolves to become something a little different in each book, the further you progress in the series. And the spiritual parallels to a Christian's spiritual walk is so moving.
My absolute favorite series is "Law & Order". Although the series ended several years ago, I can watch the re-runs repeatedly. Same goes for "Law & Order: Criminal Intent".
Mod
I loved the first season of FX's The Bridge, but didn't watch the 2nd.
Ha - I thought we were talking about book series. TV series - I loved MacGuyber growing up, but to this day I think the funniest sitcom was the show Coach, with Luther Van Dyke and Craig T. Nelson.

Yes...I am not sold on the young fellow playing the lead yet. They gave him a quasi-mullet, but that doesn't just make him a good fit for MacGuyver. I will give it a go. Just loved seeing how the MacGuyver always rigged his way out of any jam.
Never go anywhere without chewing gum or a chocolate bar...

Book discussions are welcome everywhere-never heard of that series-sounds interesting!
Did anyone see Marcella with Anna Friel? A riveting story and I hope there will be another ITV series.

"Bitains Got Talent " Final.
Could have picked at least 5 winners.
Happy for Richard Jones, a true gentleman, soldier and magician.
Loved Storm Troopers, who came third
Trip Hazard, who came fifth
The two young girls.(4th and 6th)
Loved crooner Wayne, who came second

BGT final was pretty good. Ashley Banjo's compilation piece at the end was the best part of the entire series. Love Diversity.
Hi this is a video about a famous tv show in Tunisia, tell me if some actors or anything reminds you of an american tv show.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PRjyCtk...
Looks like a bunch of friends goofing off. In that regard, Tunisia is the same as the US.
yes Amber you re right. It s a good show but they copied the opening of sons of anarchy, the two stories are different though..https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pcnlro-...
I'm a bit of a late finisher, but finally binged through the last season & a half (#4+5) of 'Breaking Bad' last night. What a great series!

Janet wrote: "Worthwhile the effort then, Paul? Often wondered about that one."Really excellent Janet. If you watched/enjoyed 'The Sopranos', i think you would enjoy this. I think the last 2 series (4+5) are the best. Quite violent though.
Mod
Nice to see you around btw! ;-)
Oh shucks... thanks Janet.I had the box-set. Gave it to a friend, as it's unlikely i'll want to watch it again. Same with The Sopranos box-set.
