Just finished all 3 seasons of the Lincoln Lawyer. I found it to be good entertaining stuff overall. Recommended

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Very much enjoying Landman, Billy Bob makes it.
SAS Rogue Heroes has started up with a second season.
Also watching the second season of Squid Game which is uber bizarre and oddly addictive.
Haven't started One Hundred Years of Solitude yet.
Ditched Black Doves after the first episode, a bit too woke for me.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
ITV in the UK have been showing a four part psychological thriller called Playing Nice (very unapt title) - won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I found it quite interesting/entertaining - starring James Norton amongst other familiar faces.

Playing nice is not on my box yet but I will be watching as I like things with James Norton in, usually they're good.
I watched The Responder, 2 seasons, bbc gritty police drama set in Liverpool. Thought it was better than Blue Lights which some on here enjoyed

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
I changed my mind and watched Tulsa King after recommendations from my son and a close friend. I don't always follow their tastes but I'm open to things.
I actually binged the first series yesterday. Despite having a low opinion of Stallone I enjoyed it. TK doesn't make him a total action man or superhero, and his face looks even more like the Spitting Image puppet of him than ever, in some shots his resting face is very 'senile grandad' and his monologues are of course badly delivered, but the show is quite watchable, and I think he fits the role. And he doesn't look too bad for being mid-seventies, I think that if he hit me in the stomach I'd fold like wet cardboard!
I'll watch the second series.

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
^ I've watched and enjoyed both series of the "Tulsa King" - suits Stallone very well IMHO. "SAS Rogue Heroes" and "Landman" are both superb - truly looking forward to more from both, though apparently we're in for a wait.
The 2nd Season of "Silo" was also very good and the way it has been left, there MUST be more to follow!
For Western lovers with some added violence and "some historical" facts, the Mini-Series "American Primeval" has been thoroughly entertaining so far - I'm up to 3 of 6 and hoping there's more to come after this 6!!

Re: TV series worth watching/downloading
Now Landman season is complete I'll watch it. I'm like the colonel, I like to wait and binge. I'm really looking forward to starting American Primeval today which will I'm sure be consumed in one session.pharvey wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2025 11:50 pm ^ I've watched and enjoyed both series of the "Tulsa King" - suits Stallone very well IMHO.

The US series English Teacher is quite funny, tackling wokeness in the school and how tricky it is to deal with. Maybe a 7/10 but easy to dip in and out of when you have a little time to kill. It will probably offend people who are anti-gay though.

Holding off on Silo until I finish the first book its based on - 'Wool' by Hugh Howey. It is a trilogy so I guess this series has far to go.
