    The Last Of Us

    Watched it, loved it, think we're gonna have a great time with this show.
    10 minutes into the pilot I was hooked, great cast, good cinematography, since Narcos I can't get enough of Pedro Pascal, this actor is fantastic.

    Started watching YellowStone, really cool show. I don’t know how they got Kevin Costner in it, put this show on a whole other level, he’s fantastic as usual.

    I have finally started Happy Valley. Two episodes in and it's pretty good. Managed to go in completely blind about what the show is about too.

    I just finished watching Teen Wolf for the first time and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. The show is a supernatural drama series that centers around a high school student named Scott McCall who becomes a werewolf after being bitten by one.

    At first, I wasn't sure what to expect from the show, but as I got further into the series, I found myself really getting invested in the characters and their stories. The show does a great job of balancing the supernatural elements with the everyday struggles of being a teenager.

    One of the things I really enjoyed about Teen Wolf was the way it explores the relationships between the characters. Whether it's the romance between Scott and his love interest, Allison, or the complex friendship between Scott and his best friend, Stiles, the show does an excellent job of making these relationships feel authentic and grounded.

    Another aspect of the show that really stood out to me was the quality of the special effects. The werewolf transformations are particularly impressive, and the show manages to make them both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

    Of course, like any show, Teen Wolf has its flaws. There are moments when the writing can be a bit clunky, and some of the plot twists feel a little contrived. But overall, I think the show is a really solid entry in the supernatural genre.

    All in all, I would definitely recommend Teen Wolf to anyone looking for a fun, engaging series to binge-watch. The characters are likable, the special effects are impressive, and the storyline keeps you hooked from beginning to end. Give it a shot and see for yourself!

    I thought the movie was fun back in the 80's, I fear my memories will be soiled by a 2020's version.

    Last time i watched TV (Amazon Prime) it was Games of Thrones. xD

    My sparetime goes somewhere else these days. I actually find it hard to watch TV when i'm at my parents, can't stand ADs. Haven't been watching regular TV since 15 years ago i think.

    I don't even own a TV. Haven't had one for 7-8 years now.
    I tend to check various sites to see if something catches my eye but these days that is very rare.

    A new show I watched is Tempting Fortune, the premise is sound; get a group of people, have a shared prize pot, tempt them with stuff at ridiculous prices i.e. £500 for a milkshake that comes our of the shared £300k prize fund, watch as people get annoyed with each other for blowing some of their eventual winnings.
    The problem is that they have set this show in South Africa and have the contestants travel from place to place as the days go by.
    Either they think viewers are brain dead or they just don't care that it's so obviously fake.
    To believe that these contestants really walked 5 miles over sand dunes, or rafted 6 miles down a very shallow looking 'river' is just ridiculous.
    Some of them look like they have never walked 5 miles in their life, let alone through soft sand. And then when they 'reach' their next camp they look fresher than when they started.
    Then there's the whole 'they only get 1000 calories worth of rice and beans to eat a day' silliness.
    How can they actually expect viewers to even think for a second that what they are being told has even a shred of truth to it.

    Don't get me wrong, it's absent minded fun and it does make you smile at their expense but is this where we are now with 'reality tv' ?
    It's a far cry from those early days of Big Brother with 4 live feeds 24 hours a day from different places in the house.

    Well, I do have a good time with The Mandalorian, always have a good time watching it, the episode with the scientist was an interesting original story, with great acting as well, really liking it.

    Love me some Magnum P.I., back in the 80s it was on 4 times a day. I won't talk about the last episode when Rick gets married and Mangum finds out who Robin Masters really is.
