Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Macgyver 2016
Watched the pilot...
... Because I watched the original thrice, starring RDA, I was disappointed with the pilot. It takes bits and bobs from the original Macgyver series but is nothing like it. Thornton is a woman, Mac has a gf, Mac has a room-mate who is a Chris Tucker from Rush Hour, Jack is an ex-Marine sniper and the new Mac cannot work alone and needs his team of geeks and hackers - a theme which is being used in every show at the moment! And the endless cheesy lines and teenage dialog is another letdown.
OILSHEIKH VERDICT : AVOID. Only watch if really bored
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Watching 'The Night Of' at the moment..really good up to now four episodes in. Recommended.

Seinfeld. No idea why, just had a hankering. Such a weird show when you break it down.

There's some classic Episodes of Seinfeld, I enjoy watching a couple every now and again (Getting close to Festivus time aqain..!)
Finished Walking dead Season 6 - enjoyed it and a heck of a cliffhanger. Also watched the Fear the Walking Dead spin-off, which was also very good for a 6-parter.
Currently watching Marvel's Jessica Jones, it's slow going but has potential. David Tennant plays a decent bad guy.

Just started on spaced again. Makes me feel old.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Mr Robot. Epic. Confusing and beguiling all in one. Love it.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
"The Blacklist", "Mr. Robot" and "Fear the Walking Dead" but I miss "Person of Interest" as I really enjoyed that !
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
I recently started watching Madam Secretary
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Managed to binge through first 5 series (not seasons) of Walking Dead in 2 weeks - will now watch 1 episode a day of series 6, in time for series 7.
As per usual, my original decision not to watch an over hyped American TV show was wrong.
Only downside is that I think that I preferred the me that was a bit squeamish of gore.

Really enjoyed the attention to technical detail in this show. Felt a very familiar theme and well yeah, the major plot and themes have been done before in a popular film (although I guess that's quite old now).
I'm not sure about watching season two.

I did this too, I was really enjoying it, but I'm not sure if I got through a load or just stopped watching it.
I'm currently educating the mrs in TNG. We're just starting the tricky transition to DS9, not sure if we'll make it as DS9 is a bit of drag in comparison for the first couple of seasons.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
The Last Man on Earth.
Just finished season 1. Very dark comedy and surprisingly funny considering it's American.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Luke Cage. Quite dark in places but a good watch for the 13 shows in season 1. Enjoyed it much more that Jessica Jones tbh.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
"Stranger Things" on Netflix. If you like Half Life/X-files type scenarios you will like this.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Mr Robot Season 2
Gotham
Arrow
Flash
Narcos
Luke Cage

I've enjoyed it, but I preferred Jessica Jones, certainly for the earlier parts of the season anyway. I found Luke Cage very, very slow going, but appreciate that the much of the first few episodes were helping build the back story a bit.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
Just watched Luke Cage myself and am currently re-watching HIMYM (I like having a show I have watched before on in the background).
Really enjoyed Luke Cage but thought they killed off the best character too early, even if it was for character and plot development.
Re: What TV show are you watching right now?
I recently started watching Longmire from the start, which turned out to be something unexpected... but in a good way.
