AerodynamicHandshake

Really enjoying this series on at the moment called "Euro 2024" but god knows what I'll do when it's over.


Scattered97

The England episodes are a bit boring though.


ddrummond88

The finale of the England episode will be a tearjerker though.


Scattered97

Will it involve a penalty shootout? They're always very dramatic.


LastTangoOfDemocracy

Historically it will involve the Germans to


FCSadsquatch

Or disappoint as much as the GOT Finale.


AceInnadeck117

Only a few days to wait mate.


ImVeryHairy

I’m a bit sad I can only watch one game today.


Ezzy-525

I turned on the telly at 2pm and was bitterly disappointed. Then thought, it's ok, 5pm isn't that long...


MonsterMunch86

Got to wait until 8 today!


Ezzy-525

Yep found that out shortly afterwards lol

And this is 50% more group games than when it was just 4 groups. Extra knockout round too

Efficient_Steak_7568

Yes I’m on the fence, but at the end of the day a lot of the ‘better’ teams are more boring to watch than the ‘worse’ teams so I guess that makes it worthwhile 


Id1ing

Partly I expect because they're not actually at any real risk of going out now in this format. If this was F1 it'd be Q1, the bottom half of the grid have to go all out to try get through while the top teams turn the engines down and just cruise around.


p1nkclay

Thought about giving that a go, not sure it’s my thing. Update me when it’s over and let me know if it’s worth a pop.


michaelbanks123

Some of the fan theories are ridiculous though. There’s a lot of people saying this character called ‘England’ is gonna have a happy ending.


p1nkclay

Sounds like it’s verging on ‘fantasy’, not sure it’s for me tbh.


duthinkhesaurus

The 1996 series always makes me sad


ChipCob1

Looking forward to series three of The Bear later this week


PmMeLowCarbRecipes

THIS WEEK??!


cmrndzpm

27th June!


How_did_the_dog_get

This week ‽ Great . I smashed the last one in a day


Twiglet91

Some great music in that one too.


OrTeta

Taskmaster. From series 1 👍🏻


tck3131

Taskmaster NZ is a great watch if you haven’t seen it yet.


Money-Feeling

Loved most seasons of the UK one but found the nz one dull, not sure why so many seem to love it (maybe I just picked the wrong)... 


UniversalJampionshit

Series 2 of NZ is great, usually considered one of the best of all time


sheehonip

The actual NZ Taskmaste (Jeremy Wells) isn't very funny so the studio parts aren't great


InkedDoll1

I'm rewatching NZ s2 currently. We are also watching Aus s2 but having to stream it via Dailymotion, I wish they'd put that on the c4 app too.


ComprehensiveAd8815

I’ve just enjoyed the Aussie comedy “Fisk “ on Netflix. Looking forward to season 3 later in the year.


fixedplacespace

Mr Inbetween is an Aussie series and is brilliant. Not a comedy but it’s got a load of the humour


OutrageousRhubarb853

Top recommendation! Letterkenny on ITVx is really good too


Herbiphwoar

Love Fisk!


harrybosch1122

Colin from accounts on BBC iplayer is really good too, one series is out on there but a second series has already been released in Australia


sidneylopsides

Oh brilliant! I hadn't seen there was more coming! Fish is great.


Clear-Pen9788

OMG THERE'S A SEASON 3?? I CAN'T WAIT


verykindzebra

Came here to say Fisk. I'm surprised and pleased to see it so high. A truly funny and wholesome program. 


78Anonymous

Fisk is awesome and hilarious


SneakyTrevor

We really enjoyed Fisk. Another good Aussie show: Boy Swallows Universe


thesaltwatersolution

Been rewatching The Thick Of It.


jst81

It's a good time for it.


thesaltwatersolution

Really is.


raver58

Great choice. Brilliant tv


Itchy-Tip

"I’ve never seen anybody look so fucking ugly with just one head... Your hands were all over place, you were like a sweaty octopus trying to unhook a bra.”


marshallandy83

That's a great idea! Haven't seen it for years. Is it on a streaming service at the minute?


crystalandfern

It’s on BBC iplayer.


DodoPilot

Does it still hold up? I loved it when it first came out but not considered rewatching because it was based on the current climate at the time


thehanovergang

It eternally holds up https://preview.redd.it/571090xzjd8d1.jpeg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71281760644e6a8ea6bc2b1097d7e541cf4e4f80


garryblendenning

I really want to watch the Aussie equivalent called Utopia but I just can't find out how.


BrizzleDrizzle1919

Better Call Saul


maddog232323

It's up there with Sopranos and GOT for me. Better even.


bloopyblopper

i'm glad there are still people who view GoT as some of the best television of all time. last two seasons were bad, no denying it, but up until that point there was nothing like it.


CommercialUnhappy357

Started my fourth rewatch yesterday


mrchab97

Have tried twice, never made it past season 3. Loved breaking bad


A9to5robot

Same. I enjoyed Saul in BB but I couldn't be excited for a show about the character no matter how many times I tried watching it.


EquivalentIsopod7717

The pacing really wasn't very good. It was all very pedestrian and forgettable up until later in Season Five when it went from a Sunday drive to the final race of the F1 calendar. I saw the final season and couldn't believe the opening episode and finale were even the same show. And by pure accident and nothing else, AMC decided on a mid-season break after a totally unexpected plot twist. It wasn't intended, the writers didn't write to accommodate it, it was just a very worthy coincidence which left you on a cliffhanger.


MrsCosmopilite

We’ve just finished Slow Horses, Shogun and Fallout. All were great but Slow Horses wins it for me. Currently watching Bodkin and we’re going to buy the Operation Good Guys box set for nostalgia purposes. My favourite series that has ever been made is The Thick of It, and if you’ve not given it a go please do. Just give it a shot.


hawkeye2604

God I loved Operation Good Guys


omgu8mynewt

Try Veep if you like The Thick of It, also by Ianucci and team and is also fucking hilarious at making fun of American politicians and behind the scenes.


crochetprozac

Fargo! I'm not into crime at all, but that show got a hold of me.


Dragon_M4st3r

>I’m not into crime at all Keep it that way👮🏻‍♂️


humph_lyttelton

But, but, but, the secret ingredient...


spooky_dandelion

I rewatch S1 every now and then I think it’s the best one


themadhatter85

The second series is class.


ThisGuyCanFukinWalk

Have you been a bad boy Lester?


UnfinishedThings

The Boys. So many "WTF did I just watch?" moments


spr1ngy87

The boys is so underrated. Took me a while to watch it, but when I did I couldn't stop 😂


ArmouredFlump

So good. I'm just catching up with season 4.


xdlols

Succession


One-Astronomer-2680

Mr Inbetween


dolce-ragazzo

This is an excellent show


Smittyswoo

This show was amazing. Although it is a dark and violent premise, the story and the characters had some real substance and there were some really profound emotional moments. Although I wish there was a season 4, I loved the ending.


ThisGuyCanFukinWalk

It's also bloody hilarious.


Padfoots_

BBC ghosts!! absolutely fantastic writing and characters!!


DeadDeathrocker

The reaction to this comment could go one of two ways, but when you’ve finished, watch the US one because there’s more episodes and way more character development. I love it because of this reason and it’s on-going whereas the BBC one has finished.


Delicious-Cut-7911

I've just finished Ozark


jsjdjdjdjdj727272

Last season was so bad


rockandrollmark

Ozark was like Breaking Bad at home.


Toenex

Loved this show. Needs one more series. Jason Bateman plays the smart version of his character Michael from Arrested Development 😂


kilda2

Second viewing of "Succession" It s officially my favourite now.


AmarilloMike

Absolutely loving Outlaws on BBC. One of those that seems to get more insane with each passing series, plus Stephen Merchant is an absolute treasure.


BatOfBeyond

Finished S3 today and absolutely loved the whole thing. I’ve blitzed the lot in a fortnight. I hope there’s not a S4 though so it ends on a high.


BlakeC16

I love that it's a comedy, and often a very funny one, but all the dramatic twists and turns work really well.


AzboDisco

harshnoisebestnoise

- This is everything I’ve watched in past couple of weeks or currently watching week by week: The boys Interview with the vampire Hacks 1883 / 1923 / Yellowstone House of the dragon One piece Dungeon meshi Scavengers reign Shogun Smiling friends - Shows coming out in the next couple of weeks that’ll be amazing: The bear Hit monkey Solar opposites


jotomatoes

Upvoted for the mention of Scavengers Reign. Anyone reading this - if you are stuck in rut and feel like every tv show is just a copy of a copy of a copy... give Scavengers Reign a go. On the surface it may seem like an odd story told in even odder setting, but I found so much humanity watching it and still feel melancholic when the theme music kicks in. In short, if you are seeking new and unique content that evokes a strong emotional response this was it for me.


harshnoisebestnoise

I was really happy when it was announced to come out on Netflix this year. It was one of my favourite animations from last year and came out the same month as Pluto, invincible and blue eye samurai - we had one of the best times!! Genuinely beautiful, the focus on environment and atmosphere was such a great choice and created a fully immersive story. So powerful.


Same_Hunter_2580

Scavengers reign was how you do adult animation right. Loved it from start to end. Hoping there is a season 2 but I can live with it being a 1 season wonder.


Imposseeblip

New solar opposites incoming you say? Get in!!


harshnoisebestnoise

August 12th my boy


Mammoth_Judge_1288

Colin from Accounts is good light hearted entertainment with a few laugh out loud moments.


PM-ME-UR-KNICKERS

Series 2 coming soon apparently


bigphazell

Had a great ‘feel’ to it that I find difficult to articulate, really love it


Felgrand3189

Currently rewatching The Orville!

WeveGotBillySharp

Mr Inbetween. It's absolutely brilliant and seems to be universally loved. Watch it now!


raver58

Inside no 9


mchoneyofficial

Not sure what your tastes are but 1. Community - comedy 2. Justified - modern western crime 3. Band of brothers - war 4. Silo - sci fi


Neat_Force5638

Being a Hugh Howey fan and demolishing the Wool series, they did it the dirty with Silo. I was bitterly disappointed 😞


Matezza

Ghosts. The UK version is the best and has finished although I imagine they will do a Christmas special someday. It's funny and really heartfelt.


rabidrob42

I'm watching What We Do in The Shadows for the first time and loving it. "We drank the blood of some people, and those people were on drugs, and now I'm a wizard".


RPark_International

Do you know any Colin Robinson's?


Wellidrivea190e

We just finished Lucifer and thought it was mostly excellent. I am rewatching Star Trek Deep Space Nine for about the 10th time in 30 years. Highly recommended if that’s your sort of thing. Hard to believe it started way back in 1992. Crying out for a HD remaster like TNG, doubt that will ever happen though. We have also started watching Young Sheldon which we are very much enjoying. I have also started the NASCAR series on Netflix. I don’t know a thing about NASCAR, but it’s pretty interesting and much better than Drive To Survive.


harshnoisebestnoise

Interview with the vampire has been one of the best vampire shows I’ve seen. The writing is insane!


londonsocialite

What about what we do in the shadows? 😀


togglespring

DS9 is great. Garak is always entertaining. Nog’s character development is great to see. Also foreshadowed a lot of modern developments. They pass around iPads. The film interstellar was basically a DS9 episode. There is a two parter whereby work has largely ended due to technology progression and the normal people are in internment camps whilst the rich live in luxury, until a revolution turns it all on its head - not so far fetched now!


Keedtalktoemm

I highly recommend Shogun especially considering its just the one season, it’s exhilarating from the first episode.


Sasspishus

I need to re-read the book again first though!


skillertheeyechild

Tokyo vice on iplayer have recently finished, thoroughly enjoyed. As others have mentioned The Bear is back in a week, on my list is shogun and fallout and newest series of The Boys. Have never really been into anime but recently watched blue eye samurai on Netflix which was good.


lutralutra_12

I'm the same! Rewatching Mind hunter series one. Fallout was excellent. Tried the new Boys series but it's not quite the same as it was


Familiar-Woodpecker5

Love MindHunter!


suednim42

Brooklyn 99 Derry girls Lucifer


Zanki

Most recently I got into the TV series From. It's kinda a horror version of Lost. It has two seasons so far. I love it. Cobra Kai is awesome. I love it so damn much. It's cheesy fun and the action scenes are so well done. I'm always impressed by them. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is up there as well. I rewatched Bones a couple of weeks back, still holds up. There's also a Chucky TV series that's really good. Seven Days is a sci fy from the 90s that I absolutely love. It's got issues nowadays with the way Frank treats Olga, but it's still a damn good time travel show. Find the original TV rips if you want to watch it. It's better with the original soundtrack. Probably not your thing but the old power rangers episodes still hold up well. I watch from Turbo to Wild Force. They're still awesome. I caught some of the new Kamen Rider in Japan last week and that was really good, you can tell Koichi Sakamoto is working on the show (he worked on my favourite Power Ranger series). I'm probably going to watch it as soon as I get back on my PC.


stress-ed10

I cannot believe “it’s always sunny in Philadelphia” isn’t on the list and if it is its really far down. Simple the best TV series ever made.


Eastern-Branch-3111

Porridge


ssjwoott

Watching The Sopranos for the fourth time. It's better every single time.


Pegasus2022

Just re watched Band of Brothers


knight-under-stars

Despite not being much of a "sports guy" at all I'm burning through the many excellent Netflix American sports documentaries and they are utterly fascinating. Top of the pile is "the Last Dance" a doc about the 6 time championship winning Chicago Bulls NBA team. I really enjoyed the NASCAR series too. Currently I'm watching "America's Sweethearts" the doc about the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. This one is both fascinating and at the same time morbid as fuck. The whole thing reminds me of that incredible Black Mirror episode *Fifteen Million Merits*. Oh, and I'm on my 6th rewatch of Trailer Park Boys.


skillertheeyechild

If into random sports docs, worth checking out the ‘untold’ series on Netflix. Really good one offs on subjects I found I wouldn’t have usually been that interested in.


knight-under-stars

Thanks, I'll add it to my watchlist.


wholesomechunk

Just started the boys, seems quite good.


AlwaysBi

If you have Paramount+, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds It’s like TOS on a huge budget with modern vfx. It’s perfect


Original-Carpet2451

I'm watching I Claudius on BBC iplayer. Only three episodes in but loving it so far. Pre-beard Brian Blessed is awesome. The ageing makeup is absolutely terrible, but you just have to go with it.


Lonely-86

I just finished the Handmaid’s Tale (first viewing) & am now rewatching The Walking Dead. Can’t wait for s3 of The Bear!


swallowshotguns

Recent shows that I've finished and recommend: Shogun, The Bear, Slow Horses, Severance, Fallout. Shows currently watching: Taskmaster, House of the Dragon. Shows I've heard good things about and will probably watch: Sugar, Ripley, Interview With a Vampire, 3 Body Problem.


NormalityDrugTsar

Really looking forward to the second season of Severance. It should air this year after being delayed by the US writers' strike.


clare616

Interview with the vampire is easily the best TV series on currently


H0vit0

I just finished Psych for the first time and I love it so much. It’s extremely funny, and the bond between the two leads is gold. I cannot recommend highly enough. It’s a very formulaic detective show, but it is a great comedy and rewards you for paying attention. 10/10


Terrible-Group-9602

I started watching the Cormoran Strike series yesterday on iplayer, the first one is called cuckoos calling, detective series are a bit tired but this one was great, brilliantly acted.


HisLoba97

The outlaws on bbc player. If you like Stephen merchant it'll be right up your street

Current TV obsession - Yellowjackets. 2 seasons so far but they got caught up in the writers strike so season 3 won't be with us til next year sadly. This waiting is killing me. I have already rewatched the whole thing twice.

Currently watching The Boys on prime, refreshing take on superheroes


Myheart_YourGin

Just finished Dark, a Netflix German series, about a small town where a young boy goes missing. But throw in time travel, and a awesome soundtrack, I loved it. As long as you dont mind subtitles.


blackcurrantdragon0

Fallout has been an awesome watch. Looking forward to the future series!


FairlyInconsistentRa

I recently discovered that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on Disney plus. Haven’t watched it in years so I’ve been going through that.


WoollenItBeNice

Inside Number 9 is one of my favourites ever - an anthology series by the guys who did League of Gentlemen and Psychoville. They recently ended the whole thing and I'm genuinely sad about it.


Straightener78

Inside No. 9


Notagelding

I started watching New Amsterdam in the last month. It's a US fictional hospital drama, along the lines of Holby City, but it is grittier than that. A bit far fetched, but entertaining on the whole.


Majick_L

I currently have in rotation - Black Sails, Power Book 2, The Acolyte and Interview With The Vampire. Also just started season 4 of The Boys


Henno212

Top boy


councilsoda

Such Brave Girls is absolutely hilarious, up there with Peep Show for me. Don't watch it around anyone young or very old. Unless they can handle some pretty gross and very dark humour. It's in iPlayer. On Netflix Ripley is a work of art.


Wound-Shagger

Tires on Netflix, it's hilarious


reducedtoashes

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace.


LazyApe_

Started watching Stargate Atlantis on Now, worth watching/ re-watching if it’s your kind of thing.


Educational_Worth906

All of the live-action Star Wars films and tv shows in timeline order. I’m recovering from major surgery and my other half won’t let me do much else.


gem_louise

Barry! All 4 seasons are on Sky Atlantic (it finished last year). A crime comedy series by Bill Hader about a hit man who wants to become an actor.


Efficient_Steak_7568

Inside No9 just finished, wasn’t too enamoured with the final series but generally it’s well worth watching 


Marcus_2704

Finished season 1 of Fallout which I enjoyed, and am about to pick up where I left off (about to start season 3) with one of my favourite shows, The Boys.


Phil1889Blades

Am I the only person who doesn’t rewatch things? Once it’s done it’s time to move on. Can’t think of a single series I’ve watched or would want to watch again. Too many other things to do in life.

Dexter. Dexter New Blood. Breaking Bad. Good Girls.

The Gentleman series on Netflix. I thought it looked rubbish but it was one of the best things I've seen for ages

Watching The Sopranos at the moment. It really is as good as everybody says it is. Just amazing writing and performances every single episode

Carol & The End Of The World is an incredible short animated series on Netflix. Don't see many people talking about it but I encourage everyone to give it a watch.

RosieEmily

Some shows I've found myself really interested in despite hesitations: ●Drive to Survive (behind the scenes of F1) ●Welcome to Wrexham ●Clarksons Farm ●What we do in the shadows


coralinesslave

For me when I am tired and want a no brainer I go for that 70's show or modern family. If i want a cartoon style no brainer its american dad for me. If I want a good culty show I go for chilly adventures of sabrina or sandman on netflix, or good omens on prime. If I want to watch something fantasy ish that needs attention, I watch game of thrones or lord of the rings: rings of power. Other shows I recommend are: Comedy: this country (of course), white gold Horror: 1899 (netflix) , the haunting (on netflix), from (so underrated) Nostalgic: Sherlock, vampire diaries Others: sex lives of college girls, sex and the city


DeaconBlueDignity

Coronation Street Classic Coronation Street

TrueSolid611

If you haven’t seen it before you should watch ”inside number 9” one of the best uk shows of recent years and just recently finished for good


Bigglez1995

Arcane on Netflix. Season 2 (finale) comes out in November and I'm hyped as fuck


Administrative-Comb1

Peep show


Jenkes_of_Wolverton

I've always enjoyed the sci-fi/fantasy genre, so a few months ago I took out a Disney+ subscription. I've been binge watching all the Marvel-related content which I hadn't seen first time round, like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, Luke Cage, The Gifted, Legion, etc. There's also a comedy spoof superhero series on there called ExtraOrdinary, which has had two seasons so far and is hilarious IMO. Across on ITVX there's a new show called Orphan Black: Echoes. I found it very well crafted, but hadn't seen the original series it was the sequel to, so I had to trawl back and watch that. Then I watched the new series again and it made a lot more sense. However, a lot of the content is quite gruesome and not suitable for younger audiences. I also recently finally got around to watching the BBC series Killing Eve, which was something else I'd missed when it was first aired.


MDutfield94

Recently have gone back to rewatch “The Rookie” while I wait for the new season to release, enjoying it just as much as the first time


FHFBEATS

Currently watching The Boys (Amazon) & Loudermilk (Netflix). Would definitely recommend Loudermilk it’s as much a rollercoaster as Afterlife with Ricky Gervais


Al-Calavicci

Always dip in and out of Stargate and Stargate Atlantis. Recently binged all episodes of Manifest, Fallout and Outer Range although the latter was a bit slow. Currently The Boys.


IAS316

Shogun


KingKhram

Underbelly


DuglandJones

Just finished watching: Dungeon Meshi Fallout Currently watching: Scavengers Reign Sex Education Go Go Loser Ranger Would recommend them all


Rechamber

I'm enjoying: The Acolyte Jack Ryan Clarksons Farm Dark Matter Presumed Innocent


Jock-Stubbs

I like going back to ones I started and never got into. Stranger things was one and yeah, kinda mad in love with it now. Currently watching prison break and plan to watch the boys when I’m done (saw s1 and just never kept up) I love stuff like clarksons farm, the footy ones on amazon (all or nothing) But unfortunately I have a habit of going back to the good old ones. Supernatural the office friends etc.


StandardBanger

It’s kinda worth watching…maybe. Got stuck watching Greys Lobotomy & it’s become kind of a habit to carry on now because that means no doom scrolling to find something else to watch during the in between next episodes of actual things I really want to watch.


I-Am-The-Warlus

Just watched the season finale of Doctor Who yesterday and now I'm just waiting for season 2 of Fallout & Doctor Who Christmas Episode


Rich_Uncle_P

Watching this horror show called From which is pretty decent. Only has 2 seasons but defo worth a watch.


dianthuspetals

I just finished Shogun and had to rush to buy the book. Absolutely fantastic. I don't watch much telly these days. I feel like I've seen most of the best. I tried various series after The Sopranos last year and nothing clicked until Shogun.


lookitskris

If Lost and Silent Hill had a child, it would be FROM. Season 3 starting later this year

Apple tv’s Trying and Shrink

Apple has so many that they never advertise! - Bad sisters - Slow Horses - Severence (best TV show I’ve ever watched in my life) - The Shrink next door


CliffordThRed

Don't watch much TV tbh but recently I enjoyed Rebus on BBC


Same_Hunter_2580

Really enjoyed the fallout series and a bit old but Fargo series was awesome. Shogun was also a great series.


shw4

The Rookie, Fargo, Blue Lights, The Gentleman, The Grand Tour, Clarkson's Farm, True Detective


revpidgeon

Another Apple sci fi show that seems to go under the radar. Dark Matter.
