Takeshi's Castle..

That is a lot of fun. Regular watcher in the past.

No sarcasm I believe, unless it falls into a class of sasural simar ka types, lol.. By the way I also watch Takeshi's Castle.. and Bhabhiji Ghar par hain.. Sometimes, May I come in madam as well.

The only TV series I liked in recent times, on our good old Indian TV Network was a series called Mahi Way

It was awesome, breaking all norms of a contemporary conventional typical indian melodrama crap we have been plagued with ..... I wonder why we dont have more of this kind of stuff.

Takeshi's castel was good, I also watched it.

The 100 - Season 3 .... well the feedback must be there for the writers to slow down a bit, hence SE03 is a bit slow (in comparison to SE02) to start with. Don't get me wrong, it's still super speedy than the conventional scfi series, but in relation to earlier season 2 its slow to start with, but picks up again to its usual nitro speed in the last 5-6 episodes. SE03 is also the weakest of the 3, since the character turn over is a bit unrealistic and unnatural, plus other few inconsistencies I did not like, none the less its still pretty much super edge of the seat material in the lines of se01 and se02. So yes those inconsistencies can be pardon, Se03 also brings more technical aspects and answers to why the earth had a nuclear war. Over all any scifi adventure fan WILL NOT be disappointed if he suspends some of his belief within the confines of realism. I thoroughly enjoyed the 100 all 3 seasons and looking forward to SE04 when ever it comes out ..... rating stays at 7.5/10

Lucifer. Tom Ellis is super duper.

I've The Colony and 11.22.63 and both are good according to my wife. Containment did not look that interesting to me... at least based on the trailer.

 

[Appys]

11.22.63 first, colony second, lucifer 3rd and haven't watched containment but by the genre it still would be 4th on mine

 

[sam9s]

yea, I only downloaded containment coz I love that Genre. Will start off with either colony or lucifer. Lucifer sounds really interesting, but it has to really good in order for alteast me to satisfy specifically in this kind of genre ....

11.22.63 I will keep it for no 3 viewing. I might be totally wrong and end up liking the other way round ...lol but none the less, I will be giving all 4 a try one by one ..... . Will report ....

Colony - Season 1 - EP 05...so finally decided to start off with colony. Well frankly first 2 episodes for me appeared too slow, BUT I will admit, with the 100's supersonic pace, anything that I would have started immediately next could have appeared slow, hence no complaints. After 2 episode, things and pace picked up nicely and also the entire premise became more clear. Plot for colony is not something that has not been done before, (for spoilers not disclosing it before I complete full season 1), but as I always have said, its the writing and presentation that makes all the difference. Colony writing is mature and presentation is well executed. Barring few inconsistencies that I did not like I am enjoying what I am seeing up until now (EP05). Its a short season with only 10 episodes so will finish it in a day or two and share final review .... its 7.2/10 for now.

I stopped Colony after 2 episodes, was too slow, and I thought of starting it later. That's why the recommendation for Lucifer.

 

[sam9s]

yes it IS slow to start off with, but really picks up nicely later ..... I am on Ep 07 now and I can say its well executed and the pace after first 3 episodes improves a lot ..... I will watch lucifier as well for sure, its just my inclination towards genre like the colony that made me start it before .....

Saw Preacher s01 e03 seems like this show is picking up, while for sundays GoT s06e08. Its dying a slow death..lost the way completely.. Boring

 

[sam9s]

I have read a lot of praise for Preacher, but I can not start a TV series unless it has one full season, hence will wait for this ...

 

[techiecal]

Started with 'Preacher' but not liking it much in spite of rave reviews. 'Outcast' seems better - more like Supernatural. Also, 'Containment' seems good even though there is no chance of of renewal for S02.

As I'm a fan of Detective series, downloaded Wire in the Blood Season 1. A British thriller.

Wire in the Blood (TV Series 2002 ) - IMDb

If you like your murder mysteries uncensored this is the best one. Done very tastefully.The title "Wire in the Blood" is a phrase from T.S. Eliot's poem "Burnt Norton", which is the first of his "Four Quartets".

A Must watch.

Has anyone watched 'Marco Polo', seems interesting but want a short review from the gurus, before taking the plunge.

Yes, its worth investing in. I've only seen season 1, but I liked it.

Edit: If you have 4K then even better. Gorgeous visuals, some of the best in fact. Even otherwise FHD is good.

Thanks for confirming it. Surely will watch a few episodes and give my thoughts.
Well, 4k is still a dream for me, I'm stuck with my old FHD for another couple of years I guess. Though, I'm sure that it will look amazing in 4k, there is no doubt.

It's a good series, offers insight into Polo's life.

Another good series is Vikings (TV Series 2013 ) - IMDb.
