TV & Film The TV Room

My wife and I also watched « Black Doves » and were disappointed.

Great original premise, good acting and a range of good actors, but the story did not convince us, at all.
I also stopped watching after E 3. but I will probably finish it up. I'm pretty good at suspending disbelief or ignoring inconsistencies. However I do judge a show by how good a job they do in writing the story.

We watched La Palma yesterday which was a series on Netflix. It was a disaster storyline about a volcano. It started off quite well, but got quite silly! We still watched it all. I saw it was number 1 on Netflix.
 
I could not get through the first episode of black doves. Sorry not sorry.
Somehow legion came on last night. I guess it was autoplay from what we were watching what we do in the shadows last episode which was awesome. So my husband loves it and I didn't realize the cast so I guess I'm watching that when he gets home again.
 
a new season of Squid Game started last night and man is it brutal... we skipped most of the first two episodes as it is about the story behind it and was too long...

I read about a British spy show called The Night Manager (2016) on Reddit and we binge-watched the first series last night. I hadn't heard of it before, but it was very good. On Prime.

It is coming back for second and third seasons in 2025.

We have been watching so many shows and films lately!

Is that the one with Tom Hiddleston? I got to see the first season, and I do recall that it was quite good. My mom has Prime, so maybe I will get a chance to watch more of it.

Yes. I hope it is as good as the first series. I'm not sure why there was such a big gap between the seasons.
Me, either. I remember watching it over a friend's house, and we were like, this is really good. Maybe it was a scheduling thing, as he is one busy actor.
 
I stopped watching Fool Me Once, but started again last night. We have two more episodes left. There is another Harlan Coben series coming out on New Years Day. Missing You. I did a search on here and apparently I have read the book. I really can't remember that.
 
^ I saw the advert for that and thought it looked like something like the show Yellowstone.
 
we watched a lot of YouTube instead of TV these past few days - lots of music videos of our favourite (older) musicians and we also watched a couple of UFO related blogcasts and documentaries by Dr Steven Greer - according to him the next couple of weeks before the inauguration may include a huge disclosure event.... we'll see.... when someone puts a timeline on something they really must put their money where there mouth is
