Armchair Critics - Let's Talk TV

[cee_jay]

Not tv exactly but I started watching Greys Anatomy lately on Disney+ after years of loads of people in work telling me to watch it...
I’m now on season 12 and totally hooked!
Had never seen any of it before, so it’s totally new, fresh viewing for me!
No spoilers please  

I've also gotten into Grey's Anatomy for the very first time thanks to Disney + and loving it.

I'm obviously moving at a much slower viewing pace though, as I'm only quite early on in Season 3, but it's great.

I do know certain things that happen along the way, certain cast changes and the like, simply due to pop culture osmosis, so I'm perhaps trying to savour the experience of the early seasons a bit more knowing that perhaps not all of the characters I've become most attached to will be around forever.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the best thing to happen to that show

He makes any show great

Started watching My Unorthodox Life on Neflix and even though I'm only an episode and a half in, I am absolutely loving it.

I wish I hadn't already watched it (almost) all, I'm filled with nostalgia at the thought of only being on season 3 and knowing it was all ahead of me!  I did a rewatch a couple of years ago, and I was expecting a season 2/3 peak, but I remember rediscovering storylines in later seasons that made me appreciate it across most of the years For me it is probably a top 10 'non-crime drama' tv.
So much of my favourite tv is crime, or scandi noir inspired these days that it needs to have it's own category of its own ? I watched the two seasons of BBC Wales' Hidden with great enjoyment recently.

This is coming on BBC 2 soon, Colin Farrell getting praise for it 

[E.N.]

With Sean Lock's passing, I've seen lots of high praise for his sitcom, 15 Storeys High. Somehow I'd never heard of it, anyone watched it? The entire series is on YouTube, I'm adding it to my list

I have only seen one episode of it so far, but Dead Pixels on All4 is quite funny. It is a group of Kingdom Scrolls (aka WoW) gamers.

Looks like I made the right call with the slow approach as I've just spotted Private Practice is coming to Disney+ on September 8th, so I'll be able to watching the spin-off alongside Season 4 in the correct viewing order so that any crossovers will line up nicely...

Finished Season One of The Good Wife. Yeah, yeah, I know I'm like 12 years behind here. But thought it was really good.

Oh I loved The Good Wife and the first season of The Good Fight too, it lost me in the politics somewhere during Season 2/3 but up until then I was a huge fan.

Mayor of Kingstown premieres November 14 on Paramount +

Jeremy Renner, Kyle Chandler, Hugh Dillon, Pha’rez Lass, Tobi Bamtefa, Emma Laird, Derek Webster, Taylor Handley, Dianne Wiest and Hamish Allen-Headley star in Taylor Sheridan’s upcoming series which follows the McLusky family, power brokers in Kingstown, Michigan, where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. Tackling themes of systemic racism, corruption and inequality, the series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town that has neither

I hope it is picked over here, Taylor Sheridan is a plus plus

Shit, that one stings. Such a talented actor who gave us one of the most iconic and memorable TV Characters of all-time as Omar Little in The Wire.

Still putting in great performances up to this year too, was nominated for an Emmy for his role in Lovecraft Country

[quickbeam]

I’ve never seen The Wire so didn’t know the name but it does show the legacy of his work that even I’ve heard of Omar Little.

[ari101]

I’ve never seen The Wire ...

^ this needs to be fixed Do it to honour 'Omar' if nothing else, may he RIP.

So many other things in the queue ahead of it. But ... now that I know how to stream and VPN, I may do it sooner than otherwise.

Accidentally watching The Young Offenders (I don't normally have access to a TV), pi$$ing myself laughing, maybe there is something to be said for watching random TV

I started watching  Chicago Med on Netflix last night .

I've only seen the most recent season, and last season's crossover, but it is so good. And I say that as someone who would never usually watch medical dramas
