What was the last brilliant thing you watched?

[Featuredcreature]

I was really looking forward to the third series of the boys, but sadly I just can't get into it, others seem to be really enjoying it, so it's a me thing.

Could really do with something to get into, any recommendations?

The last things I watched that impressed me were station 11 and top boy (bit late to the party with that one).

Yes agree with you about it being so stressful watching Ozark. I was so worried about them all the time, thinking they can never escape. How can they sleep thinking they could be killed at any time?
Great series though, we’ll worth watching.

My Brilliant friend ,

At the moment watching for all man kind and physical on Apple both shows are so good.

Loved Life After Life. Amazing cast, scenography, music. But perhaps not to everyone's taste.
Never did get on with Ozark despite the hype. Stressful and didn't really like any of the characters (which is why I don't like Succession either).

Unbelievable
Maid
Queen's Gambit
Little Fires Everywhere
Emily in Paris (pure escapism!)
In the Night Of
The Serpent
Clickbait

Oh yes 'The Bridge' and also 'The Killing' - original Scandi versions though...

The Outlaws Steven Merchant 😂

I absolutely loved Four Lives, Anne and The Tourist

I loved Ghosts! Felt such a fresh concept. Funny, too, with very likeable characters that were cast spot on. Me and DP enjoyed binging that one.

PS: avoid the US version if you ever come across it. It's the same basic premise minus the wit and the warmth. Not a patch on the british version, IMO.

Pachinko on Apple TV

Succession
Mad Men
Better call Saul
Stranger things

Heartstopper - still obsessed with it two months later
Also really enjoyed avoidance romesh rangathan's new sit com on iplayer

Life After Life the segments of her various lives were so moving.

Chernobyl (for the 4th time)

Hacks
Ozarks
The Staircase

Hacks (AP)

Everything I know about love (BBC)

Love life (BBC)

Ten percent (AP)

Starstruck (BBC)

Cheaters (BBC)

Life after Life (BBC)

And the funniest thing of all they were pretty much all unlike able characters, so why were we so worried?! Other than Ruth, who was actually a big softie. And Wyatt of course.

Loved the lawyers clothes too.

Sherwood on BBC.

Same with Heartstopper, I know it off by heart now.

Also loved Elite and Quicksand

I love the Boys too. I’d recommend Peacemaker on Amazon - tis funny. Also Resident Alien is also a blast. Just started Midwich cuckoos which I think is bbc and is shaping up nicely.

Handsmaid tale is still hands down the best thing I've ever watched.

Russian dolls netflix - didn't know what it was but series 2 kept coming up as recommended - it was great - very odd but great.

Similarly Maniac on netflix - very off the wall.

One of the best bits - Sally Field was great in it - the line summing up what her son had done.

Start trek brave new worlds - paramount+ - really good.

Best thing I've watched in past year (which I'm still bereft over finishing) is The Americans (and in top 5 of all time). Still haven't found anything to come close since.

Set in 1980s America in the midst of the Cold War and very very loosely based on true events.. Elizabeth and Philip are two deep undercover Soviet spies who are living as the perfect American couple, complete with unsuspecting teenaged children and their own travel agency.

Plot focuses on their and other Soviet missions and the FBI's battle to foil them, but it is as much about their relationships as it is a spy thriller, so is very emotionally engaging. Great script, plotlines and likeable, developed characters.

(On Disney Plus)

I've just watched Annika with Nicola Walker. It's a murder series with 6 discrete episodes. Nicola Walker is on top form as usual. Hopefully there'll be another series.

Oh, yes, The Americans, I'm thinking of watching it all again after I have finished watching A Place to Call Home again which is really good if you like family drama type thing.

I was going to come on and say station 11 but you've already seen it!

Recently I liked Hacks.
