What new series are you watching? *No Spoilers, Please*

For people who have MAX and a 4K TV, they've added a lot of 4K content now.

May be worth re-watching some old content which has been updated.

But this is MAX so they may remove some of the old content from the service.

The only new TV show that comes to mind is "The Rehearsal" from Nathan Fielder. He is a comedian but with serious artistic grace, and kinda like Bo Burnham in his "metamodern" themes. It is personal and dramatic (psychology not action). It has some great commentary on heavy life situations like redemption, betrayal, disillusionment. They're filming a season 2.

Joe Pickett

Highly recommend Joe Pickett on Prime. Well made, great acting, complex story line adds depth to season 1. If you like CJ Box novels, you will like this!

We got Apple TV to watch the new Silo series since we had read the books when they first came out. I like the show (different from the books a bit) but we also discovered For All Mankind and I LOVE that show now.

I've been watching Epigenetics from The Great Courses. The problem is that lecturer Dr. Charlotte Mykura MD, PhD reminds me too much of actress Diane Morgan from Netflix's hilarious Cunk on Earth (including the natty English accent). I keep waiting for Dr. Mykura to say something Cunk-like but so far no luck.

Just got Season 1 from my local library. Enjoyed it, but boy! There were some frustrating scenes and bits ... but, not to spoil it, I won't comment further.

Since nothing caught my attention lately, I found Marchella on Netflix.
It is a much more intense and more interesting type of Bosch series.
The star of this British tv series is a female detective dedicated to solving and
identifying murder cases. HIghly recommended, as I cant put it down and am
in season 2 of 3 seasons so far.

We've been watching Dickenson on AppleTV. It's a comedy drama based upon Emily Dickinson's life and poetry. It's very unique, unlike anything we've watched before. We find it very entertaining and engaging.

That's actually the problem I've had with Pickett in the books. He's a bit to indecisive and wishy-washy for me. I get frustrated with him. Same with the character in the show. It's not a bad show, but doesn't really entertain me. I'd prefer a bit more action.

Pickett reminds me of Foyle in Foyle’s War. He displays outwardly little but there’s a lot going on between the ears.

Besides. Pickett has Nate Romanowski to spice things up. [emoji16]

I did not care for the casting of Gov Rulon. He’s supposed to be a bigger than life cowboy politician. Not some Big Hat No Cattle kid.

Not having read the books or heard of the series before, I didn't know what to expect. At least I got invested in the main characters and was pulling for them. Unlike House of Dragons (the Game of Thrones spin-off) -- which I also recently watched. I didn't care what happened to the "entitled" main characters and thus have little interest in Season 2 there. (Oh, I thought Joe Pickett had "action.")

By the way, I am currently watching the final season (#6) of Better Call Saul. Good stuff!

+1 for marchella.

Under the radar show.

Emily and her friends are twenty somethings so they lapse into speech which twenty somethings would engage in the 21st century.

Then she meets all the other literary figures of the 19th century like Walt Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe, Henry David Thoreau and other historical figures whom I'm not sure she ever met in real life.

Latest update…
“Love and Death” on Max- A true crime story from the late 70s/1980 in Texas. Very compelling with great acting by Elizabeth Olsen.

“Hijack” on Apple+ watched the first 2 episodes starring Idris Elba. This is going to be a good one. Just have to wait for weekly episodes to drop.

“Jury Duty” on Prime- hilarious documentary style look at a fictional jury. I’m laughing my ass off at the offbeat characters and absurd legal case!

Watched Dalgleish UK 70's police drama. We enjoyed it. Currently watching FuBar with Arnold SnortWarbler , it is quite entertaining, but he is getting a little long in the tooth for TV.

Righteous Gemstones Season 3 (HBO MAX).

 

[Rianne]

Vatican Girl on Netflix. Documentary about missing young girl and how the Vatican handles the investigation.

We just finished Happy Valley, season 3 on Acorn. We loved it. I think this is the final season, but I could watch many more.

We also finished Ted Lasso. I’m so impressed with that show!

'Based on a true story' - Peacock. Halfway through the series. Very good.

'Based on a true story' - Peacock. Halfway through the series. Very good.

Yes, interesting story but I did not like how it ended!

 

[REWahoo]

"The Cleaner", an off-center British comedy series on BritBox about a guy who cleans up crime scenes. DW wasn't a big fan but I thought it was hilarious in places, like in S2 E4 when the lead character rattled off what must have been a dozen or more mean-spirited nicknames his schoolmates had for a bed-wetter.

Recipes for Love and Murder
S. African town, Scottish woman inherits her auntie's farm (that she visited often as a child) and moves to live there. She's an accomplished chef and gets a job writing a recipe column for the local paper, but is fired after they decided they needed to switch up to have an advice column instead, but she pitches a mash-up of advice/recipe that is created specifically for the write-ins and it's a smash. But there's lots of mystery surrounding her previous life, she's embroiled in an ongoing murder investigation and teams up with the young investigative reporter to try to find answers. VERY entertaining and the story arc extends over the entire season.

Darby and Joan
Two lone strangers trekking on the road -- a retired Australian policeman with a dog as his only company and a widowed English nurse -- meet each other and embark on an epic odyssey in the outback of northern Australia. Joan is looking for answers about her husband's unusual death and Jack is just wandering to escape his past, but together they encounter mysteries in the dark corners of the isolated landscape. LOVE IT.

There is a separate thread about Star Trek, but of for those of you who do not follow that thread there is a new series called Strange New Worlds on Paramount Plus that is great, similar to the original series. Highly recommend if you are a Star trek fan
