Good tv shows I've watched recently

Recommended Posts

 I just received an email that Peaky Blinders season 5 is on Netflix. Hasn't it been 2-3 since season 4? While I enjoyed the series I won't be watching season 5. I can't remember what happened and I'm not going back to rewatch.

Season 2 of Goliath is also well done, with great acting, however it is much, much darker and has some pretty disturbing scenes. 

I just finished season 2 and you were right.  It was good, but darker.

Season 3 on the other hand isn't looking very promising.  The star  chamber scene at the casino with the four farmers is beyond weird.  The scene with Patty breaking down is obviously in the high desert, not the San Joaquin Valley.   They couldn't be bothered to film that little scene over the grapevine in the Valley instead of somewhere around Palmdale?  And Bridges looks authentic as a central valley farmer but the rest don't.  If they  are going to do a "period" piece on the San Joaquin Valley , it needs to look and feel like The Valley not the Mojave desert.  

Quaid isn't at his best, and the sister and driver aren't realistic characters IMO.

It's too bad, because lord knows there is enough dirt on water rights to make an interesting season.  But so far I'm disappointed.

Peaky Blinders is following the route that ruins every show like this.. They always have to go to the very top. It was so much more fun to watch when we saw them in their hometown and the struggles to take over certain rackets. But now he’s phukking meeting with Churchill and entering politics. It’s not near as fun to watch anymore.

I just started watching Bodyguard, which is a British show about a British police officer/protection detail who suffers from PTSD from time spent in Afghanistan. He has to protect a member of the British cabinet whose politics he despises, as she's a war hawk. It's really interesting so far, two episodes in, and there are actually only six episodes in the series. It deals with things like terrorism, PTSD, government surveillance of civilians, and some other stuff.

Its great. Richard Madden is very good. He started getting some heat for the new Bond after this came out. I can see it but not sure. Lots of twists and turns. In fact  I can't really remember how it ends up(the problem with binging shows I can never remember what actually happens)

Mr. Robot Season 4

Not knowing wtf is going on, is he in an asylum dreaming up all this or is all of this really happening? Is he split personality? I thought last season showed he was just imagining all of this. Now I'm knee deep in it again. I can't wait to see if they will be able to drain white roses bank account!

Succession is incredible.

I just started watching it over the weekend. I'm honestly only halfway through the first season, but holy hell, all of them are terrible people (perhaps with one exception), but the show is SOOOOO good.

The Great on Hulu is kind of Fun.  Interesting take on Catherine the Great of Russia......Fluff TV that I find interesting at times to make me look up History to see how accurate the show is.

Fun show... *an occasionally true story

I really like historical fiction, sit with the tablet and look stuff up as I watch.
