Anyone else out there guilty of binge watching TV shows? Netflix is my best friend and worst enemy... I have recently watched all of Call The Midwife and am now well into season two of House.

What TV shows are you guys loving at the moment?

On Netflicks I am almost finished with the series Surviving Death. Have begun also watching, The Innocent Man - a documentary.
Both good.
On Surviving Death, I have part two of Mediums to watch and am stalling on the episode Seeing Dead People.
I jumped about in the order of episodes, as I am purposely stalling watching the Seeing Dead people episode and may not watch.

Well, last night I sat up and watched the whole of White House Farm (about Jeremy Bamber). I have seen a couple of documentaries over the years about this horrific 1985 mass murder, but this was more detailed and it was really watchable even though it was a terrible event. He is sixty now, but there are people who still think he is innocent apparently. (Netflix.)

You mean that load of rubbish is coming back? No way. The only circle we know is we have been going round in circles for the past year with Covid.
I would still rather watch paint dry so prepare yourself for more abuse and please don't try getting other people to watch it 'cos they are in their sheds amongst the paint tins as we speak.

Might as well start as we mean to go on...………...

I think the quality of TV programmes has dropped alarmingly and not just because of Covid.
How many more Z list "Celebrity" this and that quiz shows do we have to endure, endless repeats and dire soaps with doom and glom story lines.
I mean, in a "small farming village" like Emmerdale and in a dingy suburb of London they have more crime and killings than proportionally the rest of the country.

And quiz shows where the celebrity contestants are told the answers beforehand so they do not look so foolish on screen, quiz masters trying to make their show exciting, *(Tenable comes to mind), even Mastermind, good program but if they shortened the time spent asking the questions then they would get better scores and more entertainment.

Think I am being an old mizz today but what do you think?

You are right, there's a dearth of quality tv at the moment, seems to be full of trashy stuff or boring quiz shows and awful soaps ignoring what's going on in real life, apparently the pubs still open in Eastenders and no one wears a mask. No wonder everyone's watching Netflix and the like or box sets from way back

I don't watch soaps but can imagine if they had included the pandemic they would be dead boring. Just people watching Netflix in their dressing gown.
I watch Eastenders and Neighbours, Australian soaps made a conscious decision to not include it at all.
Lets be honest soaps have never been that real (so many criminals, horrible accidents etc in one place), many watch them to get away from their own lives.

Hmmmm, but going to the pub and not wearing masks or social distancing? There are plenty of idiots about who think eastenders is real and claim not to know we’re in lockdown or even that the virus exists, this will only add to their stupidity and off they go behaving as normal. Surely there should be at least something that shows there is a nasty virus happening such as mask wearing etc when out with others, it doesn’t need to specific as to what is happening now as these programs are filmed many weeks in advance.

That was the very one i had planned to watch and didnt mention to you yesterday as you said you wanted a lighter evening. It is a series, i watched the first one last week, last night's and will watch again next week.

Sickening but essential if you have teens in the house as i do. I need to do a lot of child protection training with my work so unfortunately nothing is new to me.

For those without kids or grown up kids only, this is one to miss, though.

I saw that program last night and the other one last week.

It is a sad fact that we give children access to the internet via phones and computers and do not monitor what they are getting up to. However there is no excusing the people shown in the program for trying to exploit children, no matter how hard they cry or what their formative years were like.
I can't be sure of a suitable punishment though, a few years in prison and added to the sex offenders register does not seem adequate by any means and I do not advocate any inhuman punishments that were outlawed many years ago.

Years ago I loved the series Whose Line Is It Anyway. Josie Lawrence was in it and Clive Anderson was host.
I was looking forward to watching the latest American version and am really disappointed. Loud, brash and very different from the original.
Bring back Richard Osman's House of Games to the time slot please.
