Good TV series to binge on?



Finally caught up with a couple of last years big hitters.

Rings of Power - LotR prequel. Excellent series, characters, story arc, characters journeys, everything spot on and ready for S2.

House of the Dragon - Game of Thrones prequel. Again excellent with great story arcs and character progression. Really looking forward to series 2 of this as well. However, this was set over 20 years and they managed the characters inconsistently. Dr Who looked the same (time travel I guess) all the way through, Rhaenyra started very young and went to a different actor seeming much, much older and some of the supporting characters changed actors completely. The king was aged very well though, sort of took me out of it. Still highly recommended.
 
House of Cards - I couldn't possibly comment.
Jack Ryan - padded out but great for a bit of mindless entertainment
The Prisoner - still weird and watchable.
Tutti Fruitti - can't understand half of it cos of the accents but anything's that's rock n roll's fine.
 
We’ve just started watching Strike, enjoying it so far

We watched them all back to back over Xmas/NY. Think there are a couple of other books they have still to do on telly and JK Rowling said she was planning 13 altogether.

Watching The Capture now on Series 2 and that’s good so far.
 
Animal Kingdom on Amazon Prime all 6 seasons on now. Ellen Barkin and the lad who plays Micheal in Peaky Blinders star about a family off bank/armed robbers in California .I’m Up to season 5 can highly recommend it loosely based on the Aussie film of the same name.
 
Didn't realise there was no sequence, so thanks.

If you watch through the Netflix app then it is generating different orders but it's not totally random.


While there is no "best" order, it doesn't make sense to watch Pink

Take away the unusual story telling device you are left with a decent heist series but nothing earth shattering.

Enjoying this, love the vibe, the fast pace and Music, I'll make sure to sink the pink last.
Thanks again for your tips.

Started that a while back but got as far as s3 as that’s all that was on prime so left it there, enjoyed it. I take it the remaining seasons are worth watching?
 
Am rewatching State of Play, Paul (Shameless etc) Abbott's political theory. Is excellent, but am really struck by the casting, given it was early or very early in their careers - John Simm, David Morrissey, Philip Glennister, Kelly McDonald, James McAvoy, Marc Warren, and throw in some older ones like Bill Nighy and Benedict Wong and it's a hell of a cast.
 
First season was great, the rest... dear me. Absolute dross. The penultimate episode is one of the worst episodes of any TV show I've watched.
:lol: youre probably right although I can’t remember it in that kind of detail.
It went hugely downhill like

I've not seen this before but so many good actors there. Worth a watch?
