The "Anybody watching this series?" thread [read mod note in OP]

RobbingBandit

Avenue Five is fantastic, Hugh Laurie at his best being an absolute horror of a person in the most comedically way possible. Season 2 is currently on HBO.

Cracow Monsters on Netflix. Great lead actress, a good plot and a mostly good collection of supporting characters but it is an absolute mess in its execution.

It is like the series is written by five different people who only have a vague notion of what each of them are doing. The directors can’t handle very basic action scenes and there is no background or details explained for any of the mythological elements of the show.

A pity as it has the potential to be special.

There doesn't seem to be any threads on Patriot. It's great. It's thread-proof:-)

Anyone watch Catastrophe?

Any anime fans here? A new season for Hunter x Hunter is out!!!

I watched patient there recently with Domhnall Gleeson and Steve Carell. Was quite enjoyable - worth a look

Gave Chainsaw Man a try unfortunately due to bad eyesight it was the dubbed edition. Definitely my new Anime show it is unexpectedly amazing. Very graphic to a shocking level.

Mr Inbetween on Disney+ is one of the best TV shows I’ve seen. Although on Disney it is NOT for kids.

It’s about a very likeable Australian hitman/thug for hire who lives a very normal life outside his “job”.

There are only 3 series in total and each show lasts about 30 minutes. There’s not one wasted scene in the whole thing, a work of art from start to finish.

It’s up there with The Wire and Better Call Saul for me as the best TV I’ve seen.

just finished S1 - really enjoyed it and wouldnt have watched if it wasnt for this thread!

One more that might have passed under the radar - can't find any threads on it.

Quarry - 2016. Logan Marshall-Green, Jodi Balfour, Damon Herriman, Peter Mullan. 8 eps. Cracking soundtrack. Well worth watching.

I don't think there was a thread on this - it was a real slow-burner, but an excellent show. Damned shame it wasn't renewed for a second season.

Brilliant show...must re-watch.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119911708#Comment_119911708

You'd probably have to torrent it somewhere. I just have Netflix - everything else I watch is pretty much downloaded cough illegally cough

One more that I really enjoyed and, again, is threadless.

Rectify - 2013-2016. 30 eps. Really worth tracking down.

secman

Not sure if a thread on it...Justified

Very enjoyable watch.

secman

Again not sure if a thread on it...Animal Kingdom

Another good series, well worth a watch.

+1 for that. One of my favourite (melo)dramas ever. Simple story, but acting is just fantastic in this.

No there was definitely a thread for Rectify back when it was airing. Probably my favourite show ever but I don't think I've managed to convince anyone to watch it yet dispite me bigging it up!

Might give Patriot a watch based on your recommendation, is it anything like Homeland?

Citizenpain

This thread ?https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056929046/rectify-sundance-us-spoilers/p1

i thought patriot was going to be like homeland after first 10 mins but it’s not

s1 is much better than s2

Kaleidoscope series hard to find unless you put Netflix into the filter, so in case someone comes here first to see if there's a thread, I've posted it below.

If you can find it, "The Goes Wrong Show" is excellent

Its so quirky, hard to describe it, I suppose.

Its just brilliant!

Thanks for the tecommendation.

Cheers for the Rectify thread - for the life of me I could not find it. I'll have a read.

Yeah, Patriot S1 is better but the last couple of eps of S02 make it all worth while I think. And I just love the songs.
