TV show thread (2022-?)

The Voice. 4 Hacks trying to be big stars by using contestants as extras for their own amusement.
Still wonder if any of the top 12 or whatever get rewarded for the effort? Or is it just a big :+1: for cueing on a TV show.
Same as IDOL rinse repeat.

Finished The Light in the Hall and The Lincoln Lawyer.

Now looking for more series.

Seen Rogue Heroes SBSOD?
Silo on Apple?
Season10 of Blacklist is up….10 Seasons up for grabs if you haven’t seen it.

They’re better than the Aus Idol contestants. They were shockers.

This guy should have won the voice back in the day when there some real talent on the show.

I’ve started (and probably finished) two Australian shows, both set in Tasmania. They seem to be more in the Kiwi mould, extremely quirky.

Deadloch…can’t ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā– ā–  stand it.
Bay of Fires with Marta Dusseldorp…ditto.

Did you get past the first 2 episodes? They dial back the Darwin detective after than and it really comes into its own, its a great show!

I’ve had 4 goes at it…early in the 2nd episode. Another I couldn’t abide was the detective’s wife, the vet. Ring the cop any time of the day for trivialities. I don’t think there was a single character I felt the slightest bit of empathy for.

My sister has been pushing me to continue…but I can’t see how. I’m so negative about it.

Ya farkin haven’t farkin given it farken chance ya farken nong! Much the same, was urged to continue, could farkin not. So much quirk in Oz, so many larrakin sweary types, you could be forgiven for thinking the entertainment industry here is populated heavily by private school drama grads and Fitzroy writer bros who think Muriels Wedding is how the other half sound.

I liked it, didn’t love it. Have to agree about the cop’s wife though, one of the most grating characters I’ve seen on TV in some time.

All episodes now available for SBS series Kin.

Billions is back.

Some excellent drama in recent episodes on the new series of Below Deck: Down Under.

Still one of the best reality franchises, in my opinion.

Captain Lee has been a bit quiet on social media in recent times - perhaps due to his recent health issues?

I am a huge fan of Captain Jason though and how he dealt with the recent Luke/Laura issues.

Jess Mauboy sure filled out & then blimped up :scream: :man_shrugging:

Who says that?

I finally got round to watching Obi-Wan, The Bad Batch and Tales of the Jedi.

Geez, the animated shows are so much better than the live action ones.

Will have to watch Andor soon.
