We have a movies thread, so here's a TV thread. Recommended shows you are currently watching or have watched and would recommend.
We all know the major ones so I'll try to post newer stuff.
Just finished 'Impulse' based on the movie 'Jumper'. I liked it
Have watched the 1st 3 eps of 'Sharp Objects' it's a little dark but has me intrigued so far.
I am America, Sacha Baron Cohen's new show, I love his comedy and how he makes people look stupid.
Is that based on the Gillian Flynn book? I thought there had already been a film version of that (or was that Dark Places?)Quote:

Not sure mate, had Amy Anderson (one of the best actors around imo) in it, some dark themes, potential serial killer with 2 teen girls turning up dead, alcoholic tendencies, cutting, suicide.Quote:

I watch 24 hours in Custody which is excellent real life tv series in a police station in Luton.
Love Big Bang Theory and getting into Young Sheldon.
My partner loves Big bang, haven't really got into young Sheldon.Quote:

Ever watch 'Oz' Master? As far as weekly tv shows it's very sparse right now. Really other than TWD I've not followed anything week to week that I can think of. That's about to change also with them killing off the main lead next season :p. Been an interesting 8 yrs.Quote:

Plus the guy from Lost in the wheelchair always had some nice quotes and logic around humanity. Quality show.
What is Oz about?Quote:

Loved Adebisi, even named a rescue dog after him ;D. They really cut the actor short with role on 'Lost'.Quote:
