All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

[GophersInIowa]

We have another 3 month free trial of Apple TV so binge watching what we can. Surprisingly, my wife, who is not big into sci-fi wanted to watch Murderbot and we are both enjoying it. I am vaguely familiar with the books but have never read them. Pretty funny.

I'm also watching Hijack on my own and like it too. 7 episodes similar to the "24" series style where every episode is about an hour in real time. Will move on to Chief of War with Jason Mamoa after that.

New season of Slow Horses was amazing as usual. Already mentioned The Studio is great. Apple TV has a lot of great shows.

Flipping through the Peacock offerings yesterday, my wife and I decided to start watching All Her Fault, a limited 8 episode series with Shiv from Succession, Michael Pena, and Dakota Fanning starring. Intended to watch an episode, maybe two, but six episodes later and staying up too late for the start of a work week, we were hooked with each episode's suspense building. Really looking forward to capping it off tonight. A good show to watch with your wife--as I shared with a co-worker this morning, it should put most husbands in a really good light compared to Shiv and Fanning's spouses.

Just finished the latest season of Slow Horses. Just a really, really well done show. Glad it's moving forward, the Gary Oldman character is one of the better characters I've seen in a show in a while.

We watched Hijack a while back. Elba is an actor that I really like almost anything he's done. It's been a little while but I want to say, from my recollection, that my only knock on Hijack was that it's one of those where you asked multiple times, "why didn't they just do this?". Minor gripe, but it was worth watching as I recall.

If you like Elba, the British series "Luther" is pretty good. It's dark, but I really really enjoyed it. I can't recall what platform it's one.

Just watched the first one. Looking forward to more.

Finished it last night and it didn't disappoint through the finale. Chekhov's gun from the early episodes comes in significantly in the finale, it's a pretty satisfying conclusion. Michael Pena deserves all the work he can get, he's outstanding, with Sarah Snook right there with him.
