What Is Your Favorite TV Show?

[Lorraine]

I had to look this one up. This sounds like something I'd like, as I'm into spy/espionage books and movies.

It's not so much spy or espionage as four very bright women who use their skills from Bletchley to solve crimes. But it's very good and they get the life and times across very well.

I watch these on Netflix...
The Vampire Diaries
The Originals
NCIS
Criminal Minds
Law and Order-SVU
American Horror Story
Hemlock Grove

I'll definitely keep that in mind. I just thought spy/espionage because of the code-breaking.

Highlander is still being shown? I have every episode on video tape, that's how long ago I used to watch that show.

According to my daughter Highlander had six seasons, 3-4 movies all of them on DVD with two spin offs and a reunion special she's not sure if they have been released on DVD. Some of the discs we're getting from my Brother in law.

Yes, it's the original New Tricks I like too. Not interested since Sandra left.

And I just luuurve Adrian Paul in Highlander. I have his Highlander movies and now I want all the series too!

Sandra was awesome and kicked butt! But I also liked the original 3 ex detectives they were all really eccentric.

Very British I only every watched a couple of episodes and keep meaning to watch it on Netflix.

Hemlock Grove

Our netflix is a bit different to the American one it does have Hemlock Grove which I really want to see. It's a bit slow getting vampire diaries and the originals. I have bought 3 episodes of Season 7 on iTunes but I'm waiting for a sale before I get the rest.

Oh, OK. I haven't checked, but Netflix probably has them. I wouldn't bother renting the TV episodes since I have them on VHS.

 

[Pendraia]

We still have a lot of stuff on VHS we bought something to allow us to convert stuff to digital but we've never gotten around to it...

 

[Lissa_xyz]

Take my pick.. I watch way too much stuff.

Grimm
Orange is the New Black (Netflix only)
Reign
The Originals
The 100
Teen Wolf
Pretty Little Liars
Game of Thrones
Outsiders (Ryaaannnn Huuurrrssssttttt )
Bitten
Banshee

I may or may not be forgetting one or two.

I was watching Ray Donovan for a bit, but I didn't keep up with it, and I've heard on more than one occasion that I "need" to watch Dexter and Breaking Bad.

I still miss Sons of Anarchy. That show was like a family to me.

 

[Pendraia]

I watch The 100 also forgot that one...

Did that go off the air? I just saw a commercial for it recently. I thought it had moved to a new day and time.

 

[Lissa_xyz]

Sons of Anarchy had its series finale.
I won't go into detail because spoilers, in case you or anyone else watches it and hasn't seen the entire thing.

 

[Miss B]

No problem. I've never watched it, but have seen adverts for it, so knew it was around for quite a while.

 

[Lyne]

Not sure I'd like Bletchley Circle... I don't like WWII stuff .... but I do like shows that have a LOT of character stuff... does it?

I LOVE Sherlock... am even going to give a try of Benedict's MOVIE "The Imitation Game" he made recently... that actor is ... blush... wow!

Me too- vampires... I have ALL of Buffy.... re-watched it at least once...

I'm trying to watch the latest Pretty Little Liars... but having trouble...it's so repetitive...

I tried a long time ago, to get INTO Highlander...got confused ... maybe less character stuff in it? Can't remember....

By the way, has anyone seen Tom Hank's newest nominated film Bridge of Spies.... I'm considering buying it, because I like lawyer stuff and him! LOL!

I tend to like cop shows, especially rookie types... (Rookie Blue a fav!) ... so going to try one British I think called: 19-2 (odd title).

I stay away from doctor and hospital shows...I have a total TERROR of medical stuff from my childhood traumas... I put up with my own dr. visits that I'm forced to do for my fibro meds.... *shudder*. EXCEPT I did watch Grey's Anatomy... cause I LIKE the Katherine Heigl... who was in Roswell (all time fav sci fi!!!!!!)... and of course its' a SOAP really... plus IT'S medical stuff was so OFF THE WALL...

In that vein I am okay with shows about emt's like those on Chicago Fire (LOVE the Chicago Fire, Chicago PD)

I AM a TV show-a-holic for sure! EXCEPT for horror... I do not not NOT watch shows like Sleepy Hollow (tried, it put me off, like watching a 'nightmare' on the screen) and Zombie stuff...

 

[Miss B]

I like lawyer stuff and him! LOL!

If you like lawyer stuff, have you caught Suits??? I'm so hooked on that show. If the lawyers at the firm I had worked at for 40 years was anything like those on Suits, I'd still be working there.

 

[Lyne]

oh I ADORE Suits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and ROFL... !

Speaking of medical shows.. I got into House for a while (I love his bitchy sarcasm), but man that show will make you think you've got some weird unpronounceable life threatening disease if you have a hang nail. lol

Lyne, Bletchley Circle is not WW2, it is about the post war years.

 

[Pendraia]

iirc it was about a group of women who held important roles during WWII and how they dealt with the post war years and needing more than housework. Is that right Lorraine? I only watched 1 or 2 episodes.

Having watched that show the first few seasons, I'm really not sure that's a good thing

Yes, they worked at Bletchley Circle during the war, but now they're back to the roles women were supposed to play. Because of the Secrets Act, they can't TELL anyone. But their work there was to see patterns, and one of them sees patterns in some crimes happening and they get together to solve crimes.

It's awesome. Only was on I think 2 seasons (or was it 3). But it's a wonderful series!
