Just started an old UK Murder Drama (Our Favorite type of Show). "Above Suspicion" Just seen the first Episode of 4 Seasons, looks pretty good as most of them usually are.

This is our favorite genre also. We are currently watchin "Hidden." https://acorn.tv/hidden/trailer/

When a young woman's body turns up with evidence that she had been held prisoner, the investigation leads DI Cadi John (Sian Reese-Williams, Requiem) to a string of disappearances in a remote yet striking corner of Wales. This noir thriller from the team behind Hinterland is a gripping mystery with "superb performances all-round" (KillingTimes.tv).

I skipped the episode with Anne Hathaway. Is it worth going back to watch that? I loved the one with the doorman and the one with the Indian guy. The daddy issue one was the worst one of all (gag-me-with-a-spoon bad).

I thought anne hathaway was fantastic as a person dealing with bipolar disease. very well acted. I actually thought the episode with tina fey was the weakest of the episodes.

Good Call: Watched Episodes 1 - 7 last week, just got Episode 8.

How did you watch Ep. 1-7 already?

How did you watch Ep. 1-7 already?

Good question. Episode 8 is available on BBC One. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000b2qn/dublin-murders-series-1-episode-8) However "
BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues." <chuckle>

(Of course, isn't that what VPNs are for.)

You can watch it using a VPN set to the UK.

That sounds like television espionage.

Modern Love .Some good episodes and some awful episodes .

 

[rk911]

Also looking forward to the Dublin Murders. I checked ahead on STARZ Sunday lineup and did not see the series listed. I'm not sure which Sunday. This week or next week?

it starts tonite (Nov 10). if you're getting Starz via comcast i believe comcast is dropping starz as well as their encore channels in early december. starz programming is also available on Amazon Prime Video.

Started Stumptown. Going to try Treadstone. Waiting for more Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

 

[wmc1000]

Finished S2 of Jack Ryan last night. Saw Marvelous Mrs. Maisel drops on Dec. 6th.

We do not like to watch a show on TV then wait a week for the next episode, so we do not watch the latest and greatest until all have been aired. In a lot of cases, the shows we like are shown overseas (UK) before they are aired here. Once complete we DL them all to our media player (where possible) then watch them at our leisure. For us it is not important to be the first to see a show, but to see it all sequentially, season by season. We are the proverbial Binge Watchers. It is one of my hobbies.

I have one of these.... Dune Ultra 4K, (Upgraded from our Dune 3D HD), It has a 5tb hard drive that holds basically all of our family photos, music, Movies and TV Shows. I use it as a NAS too.

It is pricey but is also the media player flagship.

I also have a Q10pro but it is just a backup.

This closely matches our TV viewing. We do, however, watch those show on a weekly basis when each episode is "stand-alone" -- i.e., NCISs, Stumptown, Mom, Young Shelton, etc. These show may have subplots that are continuous but generally don't end each episode with a "cliff hangar."

For those shows broadcast without commercials (Netflix, Prime, Acorn, Britbox, etc.) we simply watch "on demand."

The non-standalone episodic shows with commercials we do record the complete season before watching (binging). We record these in several ways:

SageTV, Tablo, Emby, Channels DVR, HDHomeRun, PLEX, FireTV for live OTA (sometimes all at the same time).
PlayOn for OTA missed above and Commercial programming (HULU, CBS, etc.)
We can also, of course, record with the ATT TV NOW account but rarely do.

So, yeah, I hate cliff hangers (the crime occurs in episode 1 and the culprit is finally identified in episode 10).

+1 for the Kominsky Method. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin headline this funny and poignant series. An amazing cast of senior actors that I have not seen in years. DW and I usually identify them by the sound of their voice, because they do not look quite the same. Ann Margret and Kathleen Turner had the same voices for sure. Google the cast for Kominsky Method. I don't think any half-hour sitcom can boast as many stars that show up on this two-season program.

Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad

Just borrowed from my local public library Season 4 of "Better Call Saul." It's the spin-off from the brilliant "Breaking Bad" TV series. (No spoiler here: "Breaking Bad" is about a high school chemistry teacher who's diagnosed with terminal cancer and decides to cook meth for money for his family for long after he is gone.)

Something a couple of weeks ago tempted me to binge a second time on "Breaking Bad." It has been many years since I last sat down to watch each episode from start to finish.

I suggest that if you don't know this series, you may wanna start binging on episodes of Season 2 first. After that, you can decide where to turn. (You will then begin to see, along with great plot twists, fun patterns--such as cutting off the crusts of sandwiches.)

Finished Jack Ryan S2. Working on Man in the High Castle S4. Then on to The Crown S3?

 

[Moemg]

Is it just me or is season 3 of Goliath too strange ?

Is it just me or is season 3 of Goliath too strange ?

Have you watched season 2? I thought that Season 2 was really strange, so Season 3 didn't shock me, as it was sort of in the same vein.

 

[DayDreaming]

Enjoyed "Retribution" on Netflix. It's just 4 1-hour episodes. Set in Scotland, a murder investigation, and a lot family secrets. 'nuf said.

 

[Rianne]

Is it just me or is season 3 of Goliath too strange ?

Strange, but addresses an important issue about water in CA and the almond industry.

 

[RonBoyd]

It is not a series but I just watched a terrific movie on Netflix; "The Irishman." But be forewarned, it is 3½ hours long with no breaks.

Don't completely understand Netflix's reasoning for having an extremely small theater release of this movie. It cost them ~$160M to make, seems a full theater release would have been the better choice to re-coop some of that cost. Unless they expect it to attract a load of new subscribers?
