What shows you watching right now??

Anybody got some solid TV Shows they're watching right now?

Well I am currently on a "Office" binge....the U.S version of course.
Just started watching "Animal Kingdom" as well it is pretty decent

Just signed up for Disney + so I'll be watching a ton of marvel for the immediate futre

Just rewatching Breaking Bad, Disney + doesn't come to the UK until March.

Kick, is it worth getting?

Well I am a HUGE Marvel guy, I've rewatched most of them at least 5 times.....so for me, yes. Especially when all the new Marvel shows come on.
All the star wars are there, lots of old classics.....if you like the Disney/Pixar movies, they are all there, lots of National Geographic stuff if you like that sort of thing.
It cost me 89.99 +tax for the year

Anybody check out The Witcher? Absolutely loved it. Huge fan of the game and the first two books. Thought was a great adaption, few small things I disliked but it's an adaption so it was acceptable. Henry Cavill is the perfect Geralt as well.

I plan to watch it, just not got to it yet. Seen very mixed reviews, some seem to think it's great and others say it's awful......as usual, best to decide by yourself!

I started watching Messiah a few days ago on Netflix, really good so far.

Honestly (I'm biased) some of the criticisms are pretty far out there. It isn't hard to understand the timelines at all. That was one of the biggest complaints, but if you actually watch the show.. no issues.

It's hard to explain without spoiling entirely, but it's similar to Lord of the Rings and I guess Game of Thrones. Fantasy type show about a Witcher (Explains what a Witcher is in the show) that hunts monsters and about kingdom trying to conquer. It's SUPER difficult to explain because the first season is based upon the first two books, which are short stories and do NOT tell the story of the Witcher Saga. So the big storyline hasn't actually started just yet. But it's a great introduction and does some great world building I thought. The writing of some characters (In regards to the games and books) I found questionable. Watch the first episode and see for yourself, majority of what I can't explain without spoiling is in the first episode.

Kinda like a Van Helsing...or way off the mark?

Off the mark, but the main character Geralt is similar to Van Helsing. But he only hunts/kills the monsters if they're legit bad and killing others. If they're cursed or it's a spell, he'll just try to undo that.

I personally don't watch anything without subtitles these days. Should be able to understand it without the subtitles mind.

Finished watching Tiger King.. my God. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Terrible people who are so outlandish and charismatic, it's truly a great viewing. Each episode gets crazier than the next.

LOL, I did watch. I don't have cable so I'm bound between Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon....so I got bored one day, heard about all the hype surrounding this show so I decided to give it a go. I didn't think it was good but rather, I found it intriguing. I didn't want to keep watching but much like a trainwreck or a bad accident, I just couldn't stop watching. It is certainly worth the watch for 7 episodes.
They are releasing 1 more episode on Sunday as well

So I've been off work for 3 weeks now so I have an abundance of time......I've been watching the following shows: 30 Rock, Arrested Development, It's always Sunny in Philadelphia and the Good Place. Finished Ozark season 3. Working on catching up on the last 6 episode of Walking dead and trying to catch season 5 of Better call Saul.

I've been watching walking dead, history channel and even the curse of Oak Island....ever watch that show?

When I used to have cable I would be flipping through the channels and see it, often thought about giving it a try but never did. Any good?

It's been on for 7-8 seasons now and its interesting at one point but almost a joke at the same time, too much to explain in a paragraph but it is interesting enough to keep me watching.
