TV series worth watching/downloading
Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Watched the pilot of an eight-parter called Bodies, which follows four detectives, living in different eras -1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053 who find the body of the same murder victim in Whitechapel. Its worth persuing.
Squid Game is back with season 3 for fans of bizarro Korean TV.
Not much else about to get me through the rainy season blues at the mo.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Yes Bodies was out on Netflix last year I think it was reported on here, but I certainly watched it.
Anyway it's certainly different and well made with good acting
Enjoy

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Yes I watched Bodies long ago, I enjoyed it.
Season 3 of Squid Game is on my box ready for viewing; reviews are good, which is a relief.
Season 14 of Not Going Out is Lee Mack was enjoyable, I still love a decent sitcom, and I think this is one.
I don't have rainy season blues, I love it as much as the hot months. But I have a backlog of recent series to watch due to catching my new partner up this year with all seasons of Sons of Anarchy, Sopranos, Dexter, Fawlty Towers, Six Feet Under, Nip/Tuck, etc. etc., not to mention Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing and Doc Martin!
In the wings is some new stuff:
Death Valley
The Bondsman
The Recruit
This City is Ours
The Pitt
Dark Winds 3
1923
Mythic Quest seasons 2 and 3 (my guilty nerdy secret)
And fitting in a new film or two when I can.

The Gold
BBC iPlayer
Series 2 has just come out, but I haven't seen series 1 yet. Just started it, looks good.
Most Brits over 50 will remember the Brinks Mat robbery - gold bullion taken from Heathrow.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I've been watching Taboo from 2017 with Tom Hardy. Started a bit slow but as the episodes go one it gets better.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Not sure if I mentioned this one before Lilyhammer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1958961/?ref_=nm_knf_t_2
Stars Steven Van Zandt ( Bruce Springsteens band, Sopranos) as a US mobster turned informant and sent to Lilyhammer Norway under the witness protection program.
I really enjoyed it, good wierd humor and action.

I read where Tom Hardy said in March 2025 they are still planning on it. Since he co wrote it that sounds promising!404cameljockey wrote: ↑Sun Jul 06, 2025 7:48 amI really enjoyed it. There is supposed to be a second series but it's taking its sweet time coming!

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Will grab the first season of Lilyhammer, looks good.
Foundation season 3 has just started which should be as good as the previous two.
Also been watching an Argentinian post-apocalyptic series called The Eternaut, which is warming up on me.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Animal Kingdom (the US series, not the Aussie original) was real good too. Liked the original too.
