TV and what I'm watching.

I've just finished my 2nd full run through The Good Place. Of all of them, I think season 3 is the weakest. It's only the second time I've watched the last episode. I think anyone who's seen it will understand why ( Read more... )

I loved Hustle at the time, oh so much, but then I watched Leverage and, tbh, not sure which I'd prefer now. But suspect it would be Leverage!

(Using a White Collar icon, as that's as close to Hustle and Leverage I've got in icons, lol!)

I love the humour in Leverage. Right from the start, it was so funny. So, no contest for me.

Neal looks rather unsure there!

Yeah, it was more humorous!

Poor Neal, there were many times he was unsure of situations he found himself in!! Have a happy Neal icon this time!

I tried Hustle awhile back as I hadn't seen it when it aired but couldn't get into to it.

I love Shakespeare and Hathaway am recording the current (4th) series this week. The weekday afternoon slot on BBC often has a good drama like that.

I'm really getting into Shakespeare and Hathaway. I hope I keep on liking it.

I love Shakespeare and Hathaway! So love all the Shakespeare references and puns, and that it's actually set - and filmed - in Stratford-Upon-Avon. My teen Shakespeare fangirl freaks out every time. :D (Also, Sebastian is absolutely the best. And the trio have the best chemistry ever. OT-non-sexual-3 4evah ( ... )

Season 4 of The Good Place is pretty good, IMO, but the last episode is the best of the last 2 seasons. It's heartbreaking.

I love S1 and S2 (Vicky and her ego!). The jazz scene in S2 is fabulous, especially Vicky's fit over not getting to play her triangle.

=But last year I finally watched it and, having years and years between it and Hustle, I enjoyed Leverage. Mostly for the funness of some of the characters, and the interaction between some of them (OT3 there too, heh).=

It's the humour in Leverage I love. There are so many fun scenes.

Ted Lasso doesn't sound like anything I'd enjoy. I'm glad you're having fun with it though!

Ted Lasso is the most uplifting, well written, feel good, realistic but still kind to its characters show ever. I finally talked a friend into watching it and she's loving it too now. :) The trailers and descriptions don't really do the show justice, if you get the chance check out an ep to see what it's really like, you won't regret it, promise.

I enjoy Shakespeare and Hathaway. They just started a new season on PBS (we get previous seasons usually.)

Do you get Death in Paradise? The mysteries are rather Agatha Christie formula but the bright tropical colors, sunshine, beaches, and Caribbean music are a lovely change from dark days of "wintry mix" here.

Death in Paradise does sound good but I just read the Wiki and how they get rid of Miller is a hard NO for me.

Sorry, hopping in here to second Death in Paradise because I love it too. It's a shame you spoiled yourself for the ending of s2, it broke my heart but Richard Poole lives on in my heart as my fave DiP detective. Though his replacement was so so sweet about it, you can't even fault the writers. If you ever feel like it do give it a shot, you won't regret it.

The only one of those shows I've seen is The Good Place, but I didn't finish watching it. I loved it at the beginning, but then felt it "jumped the shark" for me.

Season 3 is a bit weak, IMO, but I really enjoyed the whole thing.
