TV 2019

[dionysus]

TV is one of those things that crosses continents.
Just curious what new/returning shows you're digging or anticipating.

I havent bothered with cable (general TV) in over a decade , preferring to binge and go commercial free.

For me, some returning fare:
GoT
American Gods
The Good Fight (need at least one legal show )
Discovery

Anticipating:
Umbrella Academy
Good Omens

Some maybes/will look into:
Snowpiercer
Watchmen

 

[incrediblestuff]

Game of Thrones is surely the one i'm anticipating the most...one of the best series ever!
Will be a pain, as they don't air it on the regular TV in the Netherlands, and Netflix doesn't have the rights, but i will of course find a way

I am not watching anything much lately..somehow i find myself watching YouTube more than Netflix! I like to watch my doc's in 360p instead of HD on Netflix
Feels more nostalgic, especially the types of doc's i watch, which are mostly about ancient civilizations, history in general etc. Looks great with a bit of a gritty screen...

I'm not really up to date atm, but if there aren't any doc's to fall asleep to, i prefer Anime or Stand up comedy!

I thought that Killing Eve was good. Watched first series in 1 go like a boss. Waitin paitently for s2.
Also got a thing about foreign women with accents (my last 3 relationshis being with girls from 3 different countries lol), and while physcos aren't usually top of the menu for me there is just something about that particular girl and her nuttyness which drives me even more crazy to the point that I'd still take the gamble and marry her if she was like that in RL ;p

Err, so yeah. It's good

Err, so yeah. It's good

its downloaded and in my watch list, but if youre hankering for crazy spy ladies try Orphan Black if you havent

 

[irish-ranger]

For me Tin star new series starting 21st Jan followed by deadliest catch oh and gold rush white water which has already started

 

[Brian Wylie]

Same here for GOT and that American Gods is just nuts.

One show that I am really looking forward to is the Expanse.
Hopefully Amazon taking up the rights will do it justice.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

The last kingdom. One of the best around. Its like a mix of vikings and game of thrones. I binge watched the hell out of it.

 

[nikantw]

GoT of course.
But there are so many others and I'm so much behind .....
For example I just saw Sarah Connor and I want to start Vikings

 

[OliverMyChance]

Hopping on the GoT train here as well.
I'd like to see more Bad Blood - only first season out on Netflix.
Will there be more seasons of Who is America?

 

[Supababe]

The last kingdom. One of the best around. Its like a mix of vikings and game of thrones. I binge watched the hell out of it.

I loved this one too as I find GoT a little too violent.

 

[bowki]

Another GoT Fan here.

And Iam still watching Walking Dead. Even if I think the last seasons were really bad and almost all my favorite characters are long gone, I still cant stop watching it.

Really - I have to say that Killing Eve was one of the very few times I watched a whole TV series, a rare occasion when me and the missus watch something together. I have to say it was the biggest load of crap I ever saw (storyline wise) but was entertaining at the same time. To me it was more of a comedy than a thriller or drama and as a comedy it kinda worked.
It was a poor man's Tarantino - Pulp Fiction

 

[sapit222]

Game of Thrones of course!

Just sad its the last season and so much left of the story.
Hope they havent skipped and rushed too much..

 

[dpp00]

game of thrones s8, American gods s2, star trek discovery s2 and punisher s2 really looking forward to all of them,

i stopped watching actual tv about 3 years ago so will just download something that catches my eye and binge watch so im always many months behind

as i cant stand week to week series,

 

[thr0b]

Seek out and watch all three series of Fortitude if you can. It starts off as one thing, and ends up as something else.

Sheriff Dan is one of the most amazing characters in TV in years.

See also: Wentworth, the re-imagining of Prisoner Cell Block H.

 

[mina1929]

Game of Thrones, cannot wait

Making a Murderer waiting for season 3 its a true crime story. Its brilliant

Vikings, Wentworth and nearly every movie that comes out

Don't watch normal television its boring at the moment and I hate commercials.

Best Australian show Wentworth, the characters are great and the story line is brilliant

 

[Jono777]

Really looking forward to season 5 of 'Line of Duty' which I believe is due March / April.

Also with Bowki regarding TWD, think I'll give it to the end of this season and maybe call it a day tho if things don't improve.

Edit: ooh thanks @mina1929 totally forgot about Wentowrth, watched first season and that was it lol

 

[thr0b]

Tip: Watch the Australian broadcasts of Wentworth if you can get hold of them. The version broadcast on Channel 5 over here are heavily edited, and in some cases have removed violent scenes which actually when removed make subsequent bits...nonsensical.

 

[mariafbb]

most of the above,

plus Vikings
started watching the series 'casue of the Netend's slot and loving it. one of the best TV series out there .

You have to watch the rest and catch up as it gets really creepy with twist and turns, you only have 5 more seasons to go and seventh season coming out this year

 

[GoldenGhoul]

I haven't watched anything in a few months but it turns out that 2019 has a few new shows that I am very much interested in - for example, I'll defintiely check The Witcher, Good Omens and Watchmen when they come. Apart from that I found out there will be a What We Do in the Shadows series (I thoroughly recommend the movie by the way), I'm also somewhat interested in checking out Amazon's The Boys and cinemax's Warrior. Then there is His Dark Materials - I don't know the books but parallel universes and fantasy worlds are my thing so I hope it will be good. Oh, apparently there's also a Catch-22 miniseries coming and I loved the book so will definitely want to see that (the cast also seems good, e.g. George Clooney and Hugh Laurie).

 

[thr0b]

It's just got recommissioned for two more seasons, through to 2021. Get catching up quickly

 

[TradaCasino]

I cannot WAIT for the following:

Line of Duty - S5
Peaky Blinders - S5
Game of Thrones - Final Season
Deadliest Catch (is that coming back this year?)

I have to mention the Downton Abbey movie, I still haven't got over the fact that the series is finished !

Currently re-watching Breaking Bad (which I never thought I'd do) but a family member was watching it for the first time recently, I watched one episode with them and I was hooked on it all over again!

Ah Breaking Bad what a smart man Walter White was, great show. I still have it on my hard drive and might watch it again

You might like Sons Of Anarchy

 

[Scott1baird]

I have a 3, 5 and a 7 year old all girls I'm looking forward to new episodes of peppa pig, PJ masks, paw patrol, mister maker and my fav umi zoomi during the day and at night I look forward to watching any strictly or baking show thanks to the wife and my oldest daughter 17.
See the reason I'm always here now lol blame them.

Maybe i just fell in love and didnt care so much about how believable it was. lol
It was entertaining and i was effing bored when i found it, stayed up till 6am after starting it at midnight. I rarely watch anything throughout to the end myself, usualy manage to make it through to the end of 1 in every 3 films, walk out the room of most or if alone often goes off..
few lil interesting twists and to actually be "entertained" by a hot babe is much more than I'm used to seeing on tv these dayz ;p

 

[ternur]

I don't really watch that much tv series (apart from Twin Peaks, but it seems you need to wait around 25 years between the seasons ), but here's some I find entertaining when I have time to watch them:

Better call Saul
Ray Donovan
StartUp
Silicon Valley
Billions
Fargo

I must be in the minority since I find GoT boring

 

[Mouche12]

If you take a Ziggo subscription including HBO, you'll have all GoT episodes waiting for you.

As to Killing Eve - this is still running in the Netherlands and yes, the story doesn't make any sense, but it's addictive somehow.

 

[dionysus]

The last kingdom. One of the best around. Its like a mix of vikings and game of thrones. I binge watched the hell out of it.

GoT, Vikings, Last Kingdom (last of which i binged recent season this week) all awesome.
If you like those 3, try Into the Badlands, if you havent

How close (or not) is this to the Breaking Bad theme (which I loved)

Considered it a few times but never actually got round to watching it.

 

[ternur]

It's a prequel. But ... I never watched BB, not even a single episode

I'll probably take BB on once BcS is finished. I know, not much of an answer to your question ... Typed it anyway

 

[ternur]

The Good Fight (need at least one legal show )

Although I already had one on my list, I gotta say I'm looking forward to the new season of Goliath, can't go wrong with Billy Bob Thornton as the lead and one of the best IMDB one-liners for a legal show:

"A disgraced lawyer, now an ambulance chaser, gets a case that could bring him redemption or at least revenge on the firm which expelled him."

 

[goatwack]

Of course Curb Your Enthusiasm, could well be the last series but consistently brilliant throughout, of course GoT just for time invested in it and I hope they haven't made it too Fantasia after straying from the books. Hotpie for the chair?......

Britannia for comedy, because it is a comedy, and they probably blew 300mil on the budget just to have the *good* cast call each other wankers in Roman times, and the druids portrayed as stoner, drug-addled swingers with big black eyes, led by none other than Gareth from The Office.

But most curious has to be the Dredd spin-off series birthed by 'Dredd' in 2012, which was great for once but wouldn't get a sequel! They also nabbed Karl Urban to reprise the role, don't know if it's Netflix or Amazon but one I'm anticipating.

And not forgetting Westworld, grab a pen and paper when watching an episode or just bring along an interpreter, but either way, highly watchable with a (diminishingly) interesting concept.

And Legion for its batshit crazyness, the lead actor is pretty superb in it and we're now already approaching series 3!

 

[mariafbb]

Peaky Blinders - S5
Rachel.

me too, love that show

 

[Deleted member 43161]

These are the shows I'm waiting for new series of, Game of thrones, Mr Mercedes, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Rick and Morty, Westworld, The Punisher, True Detective and there's probably more.

Ones I currently watch are The Walking Dead, The Orville-new series just started, Brooklyn Nine Nine-new series just started, Vikings, The Curse of Oak Island, Gold Rush-both Alaska and White Water, Project Bluebook, Ozark, Mindhunter, Nightflyers, Making a Murderer, Counterpart and again there's probably more.

ya my six year old boy used to love peppa pig but these days deadpool 1 and 2 are his go to movies so at least we can both watch,

 

[mina1929]

I totally forgot about Gotham love that one

 

[Mouche12]

I thought Westword had its last and final season, is there yet more to come?

 

[dionysus]

I thought Westword had its last and final season, is there yet more to come?

a season 3 but much like GoT I wouldnt sit and wait

 

[dionysus]

punisher's come and gone, orville and discovery currently running and GoT soon..but maaaannn, are they ever dragging their ass on season 2 of Lost in Space

 

[Playford7]

I like a lot of old school stuff.
The invaders old series is excellent, as is the twilight zone.
Modern stuff I love walking dead and the fear of series.
The west wing, sons of anarchy, vikings...
Never been able to like nor get into game of thrones (probably get me a ban saying that haha)
Also the shield was really great

 

[lockinlove]

Im still pissed the mist got canceled! It may not have been great to others but I really enjoyed it.

Im currently catching up on walking dead. Ending of season 8 was like wow. Really enjoyed it except for the very last big thing, poor writing and going down a road that I think will be the point in making the series turn that corner where it goes bad.

Im glad for netflix and other sites because I dont have time and cant stand commercials. And I like to let series get at least 1 season deep before watching one. Id prefer a whole series end then start and just binge it.

Lock I watched the last episode of season 8 of the walking dead today, I’ve not read any spoilers, but not overly excited to watch season 9...
Keeping negan alive as some kind of anti hero was just silly.
Totally agree the writing of the whole of series 8 was shit.
I can’t really see a way back for series 9, I’ll no doubt attempt it, just don’t want the early days of the walking dead to lose credit, it was excellent upto 8 I must say.

 

[pinnit2014]

Never took to Lost in Space to be honest - missed the cartooning of the original: all seemed a bit too serious

Could have been worse - Matt Leblanc could have turned up for a cameo.

Did you make it through the two seasons of Punisher? I never liked the Castle character - too 1 Dimensional to hold a series IMO- Daredevil had it's best season in season 3 and got hoofed.

Anything i watch seems to get dragged out and makes me lose interest - new season, recycle some characters and play it out like the season before. Some shows just need 2 seasons max.

Must go - off to watch NCIS Season 678

 

[goatwack]

How about Dark Matter, that was a crime when Scyfy binned it, the bastards

Got Amazon Prime recently (because I don't have enough TV programming around) and despite just wanting quick deliveries I've now been duped into checking out their selection of shows.

Was going to peruse American Gods, sounds pretty intriguing, plus they have the new Vikings series as well. I'd forgotten if I'd watched season 4, tried to glimpse some recollective visual recaps and was soon at ease when I saw Lagertha cut the guy at the stake's shlong off

True Detective 3 is a lot better than I'd envisaged, so that should keep me going until they finally make that Dredd series

That true detective good?.. I’ve not seen any, worth starting from the beginning mate?..

 

[goatwack]

Yes, 100%

Each series has a new set of protagonists, first one was a milestone for television, just for Matthew McConnaghey's performance alone

Oh lovely.
I’ll start tomorrow evening, or when I’m offshore for 3 weeks.
I got prime and Netflix, is it amazon you say I can get this visual feast?..
