TV series worth watching/downloading

[pharvey]

Had not heard of these - and the HK element certainly interests me. Shall visit Annas-Archive!!

I should warn you: there are no pictures and some of the words are quite long...

As always, your comments shall be treated with the contempt that they deserve.... But thanks for the heads up

Shogun is turning into a binge-fest, I have no time to be rude to you.

Twisted Metal is 10 x 30 minute episodes of post-apocalypse style road trip action. Guns, explosions, guns on cars, and humour and love story.

Based on the old Playstation game, but there's no brutal car rollerderby action, and I can see that will maybe be the basis of the second season. Not sure if I'm interested, I just enjoyed the Max Max/Fallout crossover vibes of this season.

Jeremy Clarkson has fired up his tractor again for the third season of Clarkson's Farm.

Two others I've got lined up are Granite Harbour, a Scottish police drama, and 16th century English whodunnit Shardlake ... I know, but not much new sci-fi about at the moment!

I've got both on my hard drive too, thankfully I see my Granite Harbour has subtitles, probably needed for the first couple of episodes until attuned to the accent (I remember the first time I watched Shetlands...).

Spy/Master is worth watching (unless you're not a subtitles person, they're needed although most dialogue is in English). The first three episodes are really excellent 1970s Eastern European spy work, the last three episodes are pretty good too.

Dramas I'm really enjoying at the moment, in no particular order of merit.

A gentleman In Moscow ( the book is fantastic)

A Man in Full

Mary & George

Parish

Sugar

The Sympathizer

The Tattooist of Auschwitz

The Veil

Granite Harbour was quite good, a suspected murder wrapped up in three one hour episodes, second series already out. A Jamaican ex royal military policeman wants to be a detective and joins the Scottish constabulary as a probationer, but doesn't want to waste time toeing the line.
