wondered if it would be useful to others to have a list of recommended TV, this is just some ideas, based on what I have watched recently, if it’s popular, it could be added as a Sticky, keeping this post at the top, I have added the word ( Caution) to some titles where there is some violence, which may not be suitable for everyone. Maybe if anyone adds some, can use the post title to show the film or series name, will make it easier, with details in the post.

comments invited if this is something we want, thanks

  • I love the idea but I kind of think we all have different tastes, so not sure that any of this can be relevant to anyone! (and thanks for reminding me about the expanse, I need to get back on that)
    Random additions to the list:

    Netflix

    The Cook of Castamar (Spanish Historical Drama series about a widower who fins love again, recommended to me  and it was a pleasant change of scenery from my usual lists)

    iPlayer

    - Frankie Boyle's New World Order (Caution)(because he's so funny and on it)
    - Portrait of the Lady on Fire (superb french film)

    Channel 4

    - The year we forgot to save the planet (a tad depressing but mostly fun and informative)

    Disney+

    - Bobba Fett book (the new Mandalorian series)
    - Malcom in the Middle (great for the family)
    - How I met your Mother
    - Wandavision

  • Thanks Antoine ( sorry for calling you Steve )

    will have a look through those, I realise we all have different tastes, but TV can be a good distraction and could save time searching for something new, so thank you

    P.S. How I met your Mother was recommended to me by a family member, but found the acting a bit to O.T.T. Depends a lot on frame of mind I think Sunglasses

  • Yeah I see what you mean with How I Met. I've gone back to it because my daughters are into it and I quite enjoy the lightness of it all (compared to the Expanse for instance) which is what I ask from TV most days! It's also a bit special because I watched that show when it came out in 2003 maybe and always identified as the couple in the show, because that's who I was at the time. Now I'm trying to identify with the single characters and it gives me hope somehow.

    PS My name is Antoine but you can call me Steve, I don't mind (if I can call you PatrickStuck out tongue)

  • Hello

    Comedy is a very personal thing and can hold different memories for each of us, and also changes with mood.


    And of course that’s ok Smile

  • Yes, Only Fools and Horses! I was trying to find a meme of Trigger calling Rodney Dave but cos I'm no computer wiz I couldn't pinch 1 from fb Joy 

    Father Ted is a great series too!!

  • Hi all just watched first series of Ricky Gervais afterlife couldn't watch it with Lynne when it came out the story was too upsetting but read the reviews about the third series and thought I'd give it a go and although I cried at certain points, it was very poignant I found it very comforting and I haven't been able to watch a comedy because I can't bring myself to laugh, but if you haven't seen it I'd give it a go, it's on Netflix, best wishes terry

  • Thanks Terry

    Just the title is worrying, will give a go in the earlier part of the day I think.

    thanks
