What are the greatest shows on TV at the moment?

Mónica FreitasDec 6, 2021, 2:01 PM

Jack Boreham So, I'm the type that rewatches the same shows repeatedly. My anxiety likes it that way 😂 but I've just finished the last season of "La Casa de Papel" or "Money Heist" for English speakers. It was a great ending for a great series. Also, the second season of "The Great" is out, and it's the perfect marriage between comedy and historical drama. Oh, and the second season of "The Witcher" premieres next week, so I'm excited.

Jack Boreham What shows have you been binging lately?

Sara PintoDec 6, 2021, 4:49 PM

I've recently started "Glória", a Portuguese Netflix show about the dictatorship in Portugal and the Cold War. I've only watched the first 3 episodes, but I think it's promising! On the other hand, I finished the 4th season of "The Handmaid's Tale", and I can't wait for the next one, it's such a great show. Have you seen any of these?

The Blacklist

Mónica Freitas hahaha, I get you. I'm the same with movies 😂. They all seem interesting; as a game fan, I've never seen the Witcher. Why do you like the show?

Jack BorehamDec 6, 2021, 10:13 PM

So at the moment, I'm watching a show on Netflix called clickbait; it's about a guy who gets taken hostage and will die if the video he's in gets to 5million views. It's a great series full of suspense. It's one Netflix!

Sara Pinto, I like the sound of Gloria. It seems heavily inspired by history (of course). I love that stuff and learning about the cold war, do you? 😄 Ellen Stevens great show and mighty clever.

Sara PintoDec 7, 2021, 12:11 PM

Jack Boreham, I'm more of a period drama kinda girl. I'm not into contemporary history as much, so this show has been a breath of fresh air

Mónica FreitasDec 7, 2021, 12:28 PM

Jack Boreham It's fun! Very much a guy's type of show, I'd say 😂 It's not on the level of GOT, though the vibes are similar. Yet, if you're a fan of the game, you're probably going to like the show. I want to give the books a shot as well.

Jack BorehamDec 15, 2021, 5:40 PM

Sara Pinto, have you seen Downton Abbey. You might like it

Jack BorehamDec 15, 2021, 5:41 PM

Mónica Freitas love it. I will definitely like it. Are you a big fan of lord of the rings?

Mónica FreitasDec 15, 2021, 7:13 PM

Jack Boreham What I am about to say is almost a crime in the nerd universe, but I was never able to go beyond the first movie. I blame Frodo. He has this expression like he's always about to cry, and I just can't... 😂
I liked the hobbit, though. I've got to give LOTR another shot. Are you a big fan?

Sara PintoDec 16, 2021, 12:59 PM

Jack Boreham It has been on my list for a long time now. I have such high expectations for this show that I think I'm afraid to start it haha. Have you seen it?

Jack BorehamDec 16, 2021, 2:05 PM

Oooof, Mónica Freitas, I think we might have to kick you out of this thread 😉. Hahaha, I am. Yeah, I love the hobbit as well.

Jack BorehamDec 16, 2021, 2:07 PM

Sara Pinto, it will be, it will exceed expectations. GB drama usually is poor, but Downton Abbey is great! Give it a shot!! I haven't; I think I might get kicked out of my country for not seeing it 😂

Mónica FreitasDec 16, 2021, 8:24 PM

Jack Boreham, oof, gonna be excluded after this, I see.

Amy ShahDec 17, 2021, 5:52 PM

I have been watching Bridgerton.

Jack BorehamDec 18, 2021, 2:05 PM

Mónica Freitas 😂😂sorryyy rules are rules

Jack BorehamDec 18, 2021, 2:05 PM

Amy Shah, oooh, what's that?

Amy ShahDec 18, 2021, 5:29 PM

Sara PintoDec 20, 2021, 1:07 PM

Jack Boreham Then I know what I'm binge-watching this Christmas time! And you better delete that message. They will come after you 😂
