TV shows you most recently finished watching

I am quite enjoying Dexter Resurrection, better than New Blood. I haven't watched the prequel with young Dexter.

^ Yep love Dexter: Original Sin especially Molly Brown as young Debra ''Potty Mouth'' Morgan. She is stunning and will I imagine be high in demand for other things. Her IMDb page:

Molly Brown

Finished season 2 of The Sandman. It seems there will be no more of this series - a shame as it's a great watch.

I didn't see the third season of Twin Peaks, I liked the first one more than the second, there is consensus that what ruined the suspense was revealing the mystery of Laura Palmer.

Now I'm watching the latest Dexter sequel (Resurrection), I really liked the original series, quite original in some aspects, and the first sequel (Dexter New Blood) and prequel (Dexter Original Sin) are very worthy, as the same team is involved (the creator is Clyde Phillips, who revolutionized TV in the '90s with Parker Lewis).
For me, there's been a new generation of series in recent decades, with continuity, cinematographic work, not only in terms of aesthetics but also in the scripts, the content, which is the most important thing. Seinfeld already showed the cutting edge with an ending planned perhaps from the very beginning of the series. And years later, The Sopranos would be a step further in the world of the mafia, after Scorsese and Tarantino.

So far, Dexter's new story is a bit strange...but we'll see how it evolves (or not.)

^ When I re-watched Game of Thrones I was astounded how much I'd missed or didn't grasp the first time.   I've now seen the whole series at least five times.   I'd highly recommend to anyone they watch it multiple times, it is truly a show that keeps on giving.

Breaking Bad.
For the third time!

^ agreed

The Couple Next Door Season 2
I suppose this should be filed under 'guilty pleasures', it's proper trashy stuff for sure, a suburban based thriller about a couple of bored doctors who find some relief from every day mundanity with a pretty young foreign nurse who embeds (and beds!) herself into their lives. The twists in the plot are insane but at just 6 episodes it works perfectly well as throwaway no brain required fluff. If you want something serious don't watch this!

The Veil
This is something of a homage to the well trodden British spy genre and stars Elizabeth Moss as a MI6 agent with an over ripe English accent who can 'girl boss' it with the best. Moss makes the most of a role that she would never have been in line for say 10 years ago, glamming up effectively while kicking the asses of several bad guys as they cross her pass. It's enjoyable if somewhat brutal, writer Steven Knight even entering the minefield of Middle eastern politics at times. Overall it's a load of entertaining well written nonsense. 7/10

We're watching a Dutch/Flemish TV show on Ch4 called Arcadia. A scifi set in an alternative reality, people live by their scores - the higher their score the better they are treated and the lower obviously it's pretty crap (actually sounds a good way of doing things lol). A family's father is sent to the 'outside' for frigging his daughters' scores and it follows his wife and 4 daughters as they try to figure what's going on. It's actually quite good, but an offer from Netflix to globalise it was turned down so there wasn't a lot of cash. Also filmed in lockdown so not many extras. But oddly these issues actually lend the show a rather grim, empty and quite depressing feel to it. I like it and there is a second series too. 7.5/10
