TV series worth watching/downloading

[HHTel]

Just spent the day binging on Clarkson's Farm. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I found it quite addictive hence watching the whole season 2 in one go.

I'd imagine anyone watching this who had any intention of becoming a farmer would have changed their mind. The bureaucracy and red tape is unbelievable.

Just watched the first 2 episodes of Picard 3, and IMO it's looking like the best series yet. Early days of course. I really don't like this weekly episode business, I'm too used to binge-watching.

I thoroughly enjoyed season one, so looking forward to season two - and whilst it’s not all serious, there were many aspects of farming in the first series that made me aware how damned hard it must be these days, to be a farmer!!

I've finally been persuaded to watch Stranger Things (Netflix), and I'm really enjoying it.

I did enjoy it, but the final season was a season too far IMHO.

Never watched "Clarkson's Farm" - mainly due to Clarkson! As for the hard life farmers have, I know one or two and it's certainly not the most (financially) rewarding life quite a few feel it is!! It's a hard life which many Desk Jockeys who make the rules are absolutely clueless of....

That said, very doubtful Clarkson is truly aware of the hardships......

Give it a try - you might change your mind about Clarkson? Ok he still acts the fool at times, but the programme also deals with the serious realities that most farmers are facing (this was the first series of more than a year ago). It’s very different than Clarkson in Top Gear!!

Oh go on... I'll give it a go - why not.

Been enjoying it ... Clarkson's antics aside, it does provide a window into the bureaucratic and red tape-filled nightmare that is farming in the UK. No wonder the country imports everything!

[HHTel]

And it does show Clarkson, being out of his comfort zone, that he's not the 'know-all' that he often portrays. Getting a tongue lashing from 'ordinary' people.
In his first year he made a profit of just over £100! It does come across that he is trying to do 'good things' and highlights the stupid bureaucracy and the plight of farmers today, especially after Brexit and the loss of EU funding.

1923(Yellowstone Prequel)

Before embarking on Season 5 of Yellowstone I have just completed 1923 which is the prequel to it, starring Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.

Overall I found it a quite solidly entertaining drama with good production and plot. If you enjoy Yellowstone then I think you will enjoy this too.

1883

Also, I am just about to complete the pre-prequel(!) named 1883 and again this is solid, maybe not spectacular, but well worth a watch IMO

If you're looking to binge a drama with a consistent theme then you could do a lot worse I think

I'd give both 7.5/10

Funny Woman (Now TV series, downloaded from eztv)

It's the height of the 60s and Barbara Parker has just been crowned Miss Blackpool, but she is sure there is more to life than being a beauty queen in a seaside town. London is calling, but it is not quite as swinging as she expected.

Just watched the first episode and it's definitely worth a look. Gemma Arterton is always worth a look, as well as being very funny, and Rupert Everett is excellent as the slightly sleazy theatrical agent with an office in Soho.

^ Everytime I hear of a series called "Swarm" etc. I always get hopeful it's based on Michael Crighton's book Prey (based on a swarm of micro-bots).... Cracking book, but hey-ho

The above does sound like my kind of storyline, but has mixed reviews on IMDB. I'll give it a try though I think.
