favorite current tv series...

[EagerBeaver]

I'm currently watching The Agency with Michael Fassbender which is a remake of Le bureau des légendes (The Bureau in English) and, for some reasons, i never watched the French version which is a bit weird for me
Anyway both shows are now available on the same platform so i had the chance to compare the 2 and it's quite surprising since, besides a couple of changes it's the exact same story, even the dialogues and the structure of each episode.
The photography is quite different, the French one being more realistic, down to earth and they toned down some sexual references in the US adaptation.
Anyway it's a great TV show, well, 2 great tv shows in fact, so i recommend them both.
If you fancy Michael Fassbender watch the US version, and the French one if Mathieu Kassovitz is your favorite.

I just started watching the US version, which is a Paramount/Showtime production but it's being televised on Hulu, albeit with annoying Paramount/Showtime pop-up ads and commercials, which you have to accept with some Hulu programming. Anyway, Michael Fassbender is not the only actor of note in the TV show, which features Dominic West as the Director of the CIA, Richard Gere as the London CIA Station Chief, and Jeffrey Wright as the London Station Deputy Chief, among others in a stellar cast.

I have not seen the French version, and I have no idea if it's on Hulu, Prime, or Netflix.

Since the French version is already finished i'm currently watching it which i may regret later since the story is pretty much the same.
For the time being and to my surprise, i think the French version is superior

A lot of excellent shows, for those that haven't watched yet. Probably my 2nd best source after HBO Max.

I'd recommend Severance, Silo, Shrinking, For All Mankind, Ted Lasso. Apple TV has been really good with their Sci-Fi and Comedy shows.

Currently going through Bad Monkey, and that's been pretty entertaining/funny.

I remember watching it when it first came out. It was good. I mostly watched it because i’m a fan of Amy Adams & especially because it was written by the same author who wrote the great ‘Gone Girl’, a movie i enjoyed tremendously. This was also one of Sidney Sweeney’s first roles if i remember correctly.

I was watching warrior on Crave.
Really great martial arts series about the tong wars in early San Francisco china town.

Say Nothing is really good. A lightly fictionalized nine-episode series on Disney + ... its very, very close, as I understand it, to the historical reality of several key events during the early days of the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

Season 2 of Night Agent was released onto Netflix today. Season 1 was pretty good!

Watched the first 3 episodes of Night Agent Season 2 tonight..........very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have Iranians selling intel to the Americans, and Americans selling intel to "middle men" who are sellling to the Iranians.......and both sides are trying to catch the leakers of information! Lots of leaks of lots of intel, and lots of leakers to catch and holes to plug!

I'm halfway through American Primeval and it's very good, i wasn't really convinced by watching the previews so i kinda dragged my feet but it's a very good surprise.
Some episodes (maybe all) are directed by Peter Berg (the guy behind the Friday Night Lights universe ) and it's very well directed, casting works really well and stories are also well written.
It's about a specific part of American History in 1857 during what is called the Utah War, and i wasn't really familiar with this.
It's what Kevin Costner's Horizon saga could/should have been.
I'll update this post once i reach the end of the mini series.... hopefully i won't be disappointed by the ending

Started watching the 1st 3 episodes Paradise yesterday (only 1 episode) and it seems very promising and surprising
My expectations were pretty low.
From the trailer, it seemed to be an "Angel has fallen / Olympus has fallen" kind of TV show, so not particularly original but, there is conspiracy aspect in the plot but it seems to be much more than that.
It's still interesting after episode 3, it reminds me a bit of Lost in the writing and the structure of the episodes, particularly the focus on one specific character in each episode and the (over)use of flashbacks.
I'd like to see where it goes

Is anyone else watching Severance? It's so good
