TV shows you most recently finished watching

^ I don't have a VPN, but I subscribe to Netflix, Prime, Crave (which is particularly good for HBO content). I

I just finished Kleo season/series two last night (on Netflix). A German show that I have enjoyed very much. The second series felt a bit less plot coherent, this was more focused on certain aspects of the characters, but it was fun and I find the show beautiful to look at.

I know this is about what you finished watching and at around the same time I made a topic on what you are mot anticipating, but I'll just mention it here before I finally do the things I need to (working from home as I do is both a blessing and a curse as I a great procrastinator). I'm really looking forward to season/series seven of Black Mirror which comes out tomorrow. I have not been this excited for Black Mirror for some years.



* note the use of epic music in the trailer implying epicness*

^ Well, I love the original Channel 4 runs and started with those before it went to Netflix. Every series/season has at least one episode I really love. I prefer the Channel 4 series/seasons (plus White Christmas) to the latest seasons of Black Mirror on Netflix. "White Bear' from when it was on Chanel 4 is a particular fave of mine, "Shut Up and Dance" of the Netflix run is certainly well up there. And I do love USS Callister... But then I thought the debut with the PM and the sow was not only audacious but extremely good, which many don't, and that's what got me hooked on watching Black Mirror as I did watch it in order of episode. I also love Bandersnatch (the interactive Black Mirror movie) which I have seen many criticise.

My list got too long, I tried for what are all considered to be Netflix originals. I got into mnay other things on Netflix, such as the anime Death Note which is not a Netflix produced series. Dark is a particular favourite of mine. I listed the languages... With Midnight Mass I caught some of the filming. The order is not really fixed at all, but I knew Dark would be at the top.

Thanks for the list Greg. Midnight Mass and The Haunting Of Hill House were great, certainly well up there for the best 'one offs' ever. The scene with the sisters when they get out of the car (HOHH) is incredibly emotional. Some very fine acting going on that should be the norm for horror but often isn't. I also loved the Korean series Kingdom and other 'one offs' Brand New Cherry Flavour and Katla. I tried the Dark but couldn't follow all the back and forth between younger and older versions of characters. Having a similar problem with Yellowjackets at the moment although that is still quite 'fun' psycho women gone rogue in the wild type stuff.

Surface Season 2
I finished this about a week ago but struggle to think of anything meaningful to say about it. Great idea to move the filming to the UK and it has everything you want from a slick 'high society' thriller starring familiar actors playing horrible self entitled people with way too much money trying to hide terrible secrets. Yes it is that cliched. Switch off brain escapist nonsense but I quite liked it.

I,Jack Wright Season 1

I thought this would be a limited series but apparently there could be more to come. Written by Chris Lang (Unforgotten) this is a dark drama/comedy set around the well trodden subject of a will reading after the patriarch of a succesful family company dies in mysterious circumstances. Some of it is quite tragically funny especially John Simm's 'man child' character but also some nice turns from well known British actors such as Trevor Eve and Zoe Tapper. If you want something to binge in a day then this is ideal at 6 episodes.

The Wheel of Time - Season 3. It's alright this show but there are so many names/place names to remember it does get a bit confusing for an old fart like me.

Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light

Mesmerizing second half of the adaptation of Hilary Mantel's novel, sensitively rendered by Mark Rylance's Cromwell as he serves Damian Lewis's King Henry and an unsteady court at the brink of war and at odds with Rome.   Masterfully portraying the darkness and illness and machinations of 16th Century England and Henry VIII's capricious whims, this series, as well as the first, are among the finest things British television has achieved.
