TV in February 2019 - What are you watching?

- Start date
Finished Russian Doll last night.
Have to say I really enjoyed it, considering I watched the whole thing in a day and I normally don't go through series like that . The episode length and pace were really good and left me wondering how things would progress episode to episode.
Really funny and insightful at times.

A lot of those new shows look like cop/legal procedurals which I avoid (and medical ones too).
Guess I'll be catching up. True Detective S3. Deadly Class (SyFy) has started good. Maybe I'll get to The Punisher on Netflix, and Travelers S2.

First episode of Hanna was alright. At least so far it doesn't have much of the pulsing, harsh kind of style the movie had, but it still seems like a story that's well suited to a season of TV. Curious to see what the rest is like.
The style of the film was probably my favorite part. Well I'll give the show a chance when the season is released.
Yeah, I thought the first episode of Hanna was solid. It's been a minute since I've seen the movie, so I don't really recall how stylistically it differs from it. Pretty much setting up things before the action really heats up, some nice scenic shots and a couple of action beats.
Loved it. Surprisingly has some heart but I'm a sucker for action and the guy from altered Carbon is a good lead....so there's that.
Finally finished watching Season 1 of YOU and holy shit what an incredible show and such a rollercoaster. I really can't recommend it enough. It gets better and darker and more twisted with each and every episode. To think I'd been putting it off thinking it looked like a cheap CW show or something, it's one of the best shows I've watched in a long time.
Yeah it's pretty good, but the girlfriend managed to annoy me by the end. A different actress might have been a better fit.
Forgot to do this, not that anybody cares but me. Light month.

Definites:
Engrenages - Assuming I find a way to watch it. Had no idea season 7 was already on the cards. One of the most criminally underrated shows around.
The Dragon Prince - I think the show is just fine, but my kids love it, so I'll absorb it through osmosis.
Desus & Mero - Glad these two have an even bigger platform.
Maybes:
Russian Doll - People are saying a bunch of nice things about it so I might get around to it.
The Umbrella Academy - Adore the comic, hope it translates well to TV.
Doom Patrol - very, very skeptical this will work, but if it's not a trash fire I'll give it a look. Actually if it is a trash fire I might give it a look too.

Looks like I will be getting Cinemax again come April. That month is shaping up to be stacked once again.
PEN15 is really good. It nails that pre-9/11 era how I remember it pretty well as a kid and it's awkward and weird in all of the right ways. The AOL Instant Messenger episode made me old as hell though.
How is the action? PG like the film or more violent? Well done?
It's definitley not what I would consider pg. There is one scene where a guys through is slit like it's no big deal. And some other violent scenes as well.
Hey all
So I've been hearing some interesting things regarding The Man in the High Castle. People have been mentioning the scifi aspect of it but I am curious how often it is focused on? Is it just in the background or quite a big plot point?
Cheers

It's more an alternate history show for its initial two seasons with some light sci-fi as the main driving force of the story. But in its third season the sci-fi side does start to come into play a lot more, with the next season potentially going full on into it!

The show is pretty good so far and I like the whole thing about the vampires being
telepathic
I just watched episode 2 of Posh Hotels with Sally & Nigel on Channel 5 as it was all about Ballyfin Demesne where I spent a week last October. Fantastic place and nice to see all the familiar faces again.
Saw Russian Doll last week, and loved it. Also started watching Deadly Class, and it's really good so far.
Btw, OT but was there no Supergirl, Gotham or the Orville last week?

Great to have Trapped back, seems like ages since season one. Starts again Saturday 16th on BBC4.
Synopsis for the new season:
Synopsis for the new season:
A shocking attack on a politician in Reykjavik means detective Andri Olaffson has to return to his home town in the north of Iceland. There he works with former colleagues Hinrika and Asgeir to investigate a suspected link between the case and far-right nationalists.
Pen15 is hysterical and raw tho I worry it's another Don't Trust the B in Apt 23 situation where people ignore it because of the name

Finished it and I absolutely loved it.
I think ODAAT's third season was better overall but I preferred PEN15, I really fell in love with it and I'm soooo glad it followed an episodic structure. I love the trend of episodic storytelling finally returning more and more to tv, it's generally better and easier to pull off for many.

Man, Showtime is killing it with the comedies. Recently caught up with Kidding and now Black Monday. It's easy to dismiss it as a more crude 80's House of Lies, but I love the 80's and it has Don Cheadle hamming it up to 11. Regina Hall is also really great. First two episodes had some iffy moments, but this weeks one was so good. Loved the NES bits.
yeah I thought this episode was much funnier than the first two
Boomerang premieres tonight on BET, I'm actually curious to give it a look. Set the DVR for the two episodes.
Looking forward to this, will watch anything with Hawes and Stuhlbarg tbh.
Its broadcasting 9pm on Sunday 17th February, Channel 4 (here in the UK).

.
at minimum Keeley Hawes will be good in it.
Thanks for posting this, I know a few S2 episodes have aired somewhere (Iceland, I think?). I'm hoping it comes to Amazon US soon.
I actually fell in love out of the gate with Black Monday. So damn good.

Is a UK land show! Reviews tend to go up same week or even same day.
btw, it's Netflix for the rest of the world (no date, just "early 2019").
I watched the first episode of the new series of Shetland last night. It's gonna be a goodun', but I'm going to wait till the whole series has aired so I can watch the entire thing back to back.
One of my favourite TV series ever.
Also really looking forward to The Missing spin-off series Baptiste which starts this weekend. The BBC are an a roll.
